Review:This book should have been published before the election. I am not sure if it would have made a difference, but it was a very great read. The chronological order of the the essays written for GQ in one book is great. Some of the things written about in this book I remember, some I did not. Good analogy of things Trump has done. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Read more

What Kibbe has so skillfully done here, is succinctly stated the essence of the philosophy right there in the title. Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff.

Personally, I’m hard pressed to see how anyone could disagree with two so evidently moral and straightforward principles, but the fact remains that many people still do. We have... Read more

Review:Unfortunately I had to put the book down because of work, but it was easy to pick back up. As detailed as it was it wasn't cumbersome with names and details like you see in so many books. I would highly recommend this book. Read more

The book is clear about this until the year 1968. The last 50 years are given short shri... Read more

Review:This is a very well-researched and well-written account of the complex Congo wars. Stearns clearly knows the country well and marshals interviews with many important players to weave a complex narrative, attentive to both the domestic and regional politics and the human dimensions of the Congo's wars.

Although Stearns' writing is accessible, there are two things about the book that distract from the broader narrative. First, Stearns tells the story largely through a series of personal bio... Read more
