Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement
Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement

Review:I had become interested in learning more about the civil rights movement during this year's presidential election, so when I came across this book "by accident" when visiting a local book store I decided to give it a try.

This book will illicit extremely negative male reactions for the same reasons it was written: this book challenges patriarchy and male privilege which will defi... Read more

A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence
A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence

Review:I take martial arts and have developed a slight interest in self-defense. Enjoyed Miller's perspective in this book. Easy read. Miller shares his real world, bare knuckle experience in law enforcement and as a prison guard.
