Politics & Government
Review:Good book which lead me to some other good reading. If you want to read the story because you think it sounds good and have no personal interest in the region, I imagine it would be hard to get through. Can be tedious at times. Read more
Review:Acerbic! Written by Joy Behar and published by HarperCollins – New York in 2017, this book is a humorous satire on President Donald J. Trump and his political party, the GOP. Readers who might be offended by four-letter profanity should be warned that this book contains a fair amount of it. Behar is a stand-up comedian and co-host of the TV show The View. It is very clear from her words in this book that she dislikes Trump and Republicans, in general. It is, however, quite funny most of the... Read more
Review:Some parts of this edition of the book are unreadable. No one's done any editing, it seems. I would recommend going to the library to borrow the book instead of purchasing the Kindle edition of the book. Or buy the physical copy. This is a really bad example of what e-books can be like. It's like the same standard of quality you'd expect from a physical print version did not apply at all. Read more
Review:Like french movies, this book was not about happy endings and a happy storyline. It was a sad, raw, human book. As much as I was disgusted by the actions of the some of the characters, I still enjoyed every minute of reading this book because the storyline is interesting and has a great flow. Read more
Review:First, the good. These are interesting topics. It's good to be reminded of how much has changed in the last couple of decades. This is a fun read with some interesting stories. If you read the newspaper, you will find nothing new here. But getting a 10,000 foot view of the world can be a useful way to orient yourself.
He also points out the troubling aspects of what he's highlighting, and at no point in the book does he come across as being way off base. His ideas about the future are pr... Read more
Review:1-16-14. Having been a cybersecurity professional for over 20 years (long before it was called "cyber security") I am delighted to find a presentation that I can recommend to my non-technical family and friends who look at me with the "deer in the headlights" stare when I attempt to explain the complexities of the Internet and the security issues. The authors have gone to great lengths to simplify a very complicated topic and my "hat is off" to them. Nice job. Great book. Read more

Review:I use this book sometimes to understand things in news and the lists of attendees are very relevent even in 2015 to understand the directions.
Somewhat it must be understood that this is an opinion and that the Bilderburg or similar organizations are not "going away" so with that in mind it is very good book. A bit prejudiced regrading Russia vis a vis America. The goals of globized world is a different world order and the "players" on all sides have that in mind. USA/RUSSIAN FEDERATION/CHINA... Read more
Review:Vladimir Putin is certainly a dictator and has slowly consolidated his power in Russia. The book is timely as we are investigating the Russian connection in the last election.Much admiration for Mr. Kasparov and his working for democracy in Russia. I do not completely agree with him that we should go to war over Russia's interference in many countries: eg Crimea, Georgia, Macedonia, France etc. Very interesting read. Read more
Review:Left me longing for more. Great starter to the concept of perestroika, Yeltsin's fade and the surreal rise of the oligarchs. A taste of Mother Russia and a glimpse of Putin's ruthless twist on omertà turn this tale into an indelible snapshot plotted at Polaroid® pace. Read more
