Review:Great story and well written. Enjoyed the back and forth of time segments that helped tell the story in a more encompassing viewpoint. Being from a Navy family I can truly understand the pomposity of Naval Command being obstructive I’m allowing this officer to have his named finally cleared. And what a shame it had to be posthumously! The Admirals at the time of this event in the Pacific theatre should have all been courtmartlialed for their dereliction of duty-resulting in unbelievable sufferin... Read more
Review:The scientific details embedded in the account create an understanding beyond the usual non-fiction book . The author helps you see and feel the events in the lives of the people involved and gives you a deeper appreciation of their struggles and successes. Read in kindle but will purchase a hard copy to have to re-read! Read more
Review:American Gospel is right on target. Americans are fortunate that our founders conceived the wall of separation between church and state. These educated and forward thinking representatives had the historical knowledge to realize the folly of alternatives. Read more
Review:The book arrived promptly, used library book in fair condition. I was very satisfied with the detailed accounting that was offered from a friend that was
involved with the everyday life of the Frank family
from the time the Frank girls were very young until
their capture by the Germans. How could anyone possibly
deny this "horror" never happened? Read more
Review:Extremely boring. I have been to Biltmore Estate, at least 20 times. It is one of my favorite places to go. Thought this book would give some
fascinating insight into the mansion and it's owners, instead it's just ramblings on the Biltmore forestry mission, it is one of the
dullest books, I have ever read. No stories of glittering soirees, or fascinating asides of the owners. Apparently George and Edith
were as exciting as milquetoast. I'm still forcing myself to read it, hopefully it w... Read more
Review:Very interesting. If you support this president, and are curious about him and his presidency, this is a great introduction to the possibility that there is more to it than just what you see. It helps you if you are the type of person that likes to look behind the curtain. Read more
Review:A great book which has not fared well. As Eichmann Before Jerusalem shows, Arendt was a little naive in her interpretation of Eichmann, although the banality of the man and the Germans involved in the Holocaust does not mitigate the enormity of their crime. Read more
Review:The topic and content of the book is most revealing and disturbing if true. The documentations he cites, particulary the constant recitation of names becomes a bit monotonous and the listener may loose concentration. After listening to the CD's, I bought a copy of the Koran to see if the statements and citations made are correct. So far, his quotes seem to check out.. I have an open mind and will check other sources. If what Mr. Spencer claims turns out to be true about the danger of Islam, ... Read more
Review:Half way through the book so far. Filled with historical anecdotes about the period as well as some of the countries visited. Coming from the Pittsburgh, PA area, I found the references to the Western PA immigrant work ethic and strife poignant, especially when I learned of the plight of the coal stokers on the ocean-going ships. Their lives were misery and short with black lung, made worse when a ship was pushing for a record time crossing from the Far East to CA or across the Atlantic. The con... Read more
Review:Sad and not so shocking that another myth of civilized countries committing unspeakable act because they can. It's also interesting that a group today who oversees atrocities is based in Belgium. Huh? No indications at all must stressed that they are not doing a fine job;just ironic. My wife believes in redemption. Me, not so sure.
