Review:Obama's WarsBob Woodward detailed description of Obama's decision process for adding 30,000 American soldiers to our force in Afghanistan can be tedious at times, but shows our military's efforts to widen the scope of the war and the President's efforts to limit our engagement there.

Review:This booklet is full of information that is so needed today. Our
society should be taught Washington's civility. I am proud to
have this material and to pass it on to family and friends.
Washington's rules of civility and decent behavior in company
should be required reading in schools. Read more

Review:This is a must read for anyone courious about the Native American Indians. I myself can't read enough about them. This book explains so much about their life on and off the reservation, the wars they've been through and the way the were and still are treated. We hear so much about the Holicost, the Genocide and the homeless in the world but we don't hear much about their Holicost, Genocide or homeless then and now. The book "Black Elk Speaks" holds your attention from start to finish. Black... Read more

Review:Always interested in the spiritual side of life, I was really intrigued with Black Elk's aspect as a medicine man. Having read other historical books about the American Indian, I enjoyed reading their perspective of the white man's march across their land. Actually a short book, half of it is very interesting analysis of the author, Black Elk,and the circumstances of how the book was written. I b hope y our enjoy it as much as I did. Stop reading here, Amazon says I need 20 more words for my rev... Read more

Review:Well written and comprehensive account of events that we thought we were familiar with, but offered greater depth and insight giving the reader a refreshed and new perspective on events that shaped the Bay Area. It unfornately stopped short of the development of China Basin, building of AT&T park and teh Giants winning 3 championships. Just the history of the changes that occured in that area south of Market would make fascinating reading. Read more

Review:Reads like a high school history book. Lots of facts and dates presented in a very boring way. I have read many books about american history and native americans in particular, but I could not get past the second chapter. Read more

Review:Mr. Robbins explains a lot that I didn't understand as I went through the madness of Vietnam, first from the safety of my living room, then the uncomfortable waiting at Ft. Bragg as Saigon fell. To know that some men had the convictions to fight the war on their terms instead of the politics and bureaucracy makes me wish I could have known him and his fellow airmen. Thank you, sir, for your service. Read more

Review:When Michael Bishop decides to explore Nashville history and stories, he walks into the Nashville archives building and (surprisingly) is allowed to explore the 1963 records from the office of the former chief of police. When he opens the first box he is greeted by two brown recluse spiders quietly guarding the secrets within. I am not sure if Mr. Bishop intended for these little poisonous spinners to be a metaphoric/foreshadowing literary device for what is to follow in the book. But, by the en... Read more

Review:We are told over and over that history repeats itself.
Apparently, are so called leaders haven't learned very much.
This book is a real window into what is coming.
The parallels are eerily simular to what is happening today Read more

Review:The fetid,yet maddeningly lush & thus, compelling environment that yielded such treasures to the intensity of these two men's driving curiosity immediately captures the reader. This reviewer withholds the fifth star of admiration only due to an absence of deeper detail regarding Stephens&Catherwood. Perhaps, such detail was lost to the "official"record? However, the desire for character detail is proof-positive that JUNGLE of STONE fills a gap in our historical narrative; indeed, the eno... Read more
