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: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: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:An account of the characteristics of past fascists, rhymes with what is in the world today. M Albright’s background gives her great insight to the dangers of Fascism. The signs of Fascism. How it infiltrates a free democracy. Read more

Review:Very well written and hard hitting. It is a story that everyone should read as dictators like the murderous Franco can be stopped early on before something horrific, like the Spanish Civil War, happens. Read more

Review:This book sits in an uncomfortable position. It is largely anecdote driven, which makes it hard to justify the lengthy page count. It is largely an explanation of how things work in Scandinavia with relatively superficial suggestions of how to transplant them to the US. To a certain extent that is okay: just having a better explanation of how other countries do things can open the eyes of Americans who, like all people everywhere, assume that their policies, choices, and way of live is universal...

Review:Justice demands that small businessmen be reduced to corporate employees

According to Ayn Rand: “Every ugly, brutal aspect of injustice toward racial or religious minorities is being practiced toward businessmen” (41). Even if there is some validity in the claim that big business is sometimes treated unfairly, this is childish hyperbole. America has not yet had a policy of genocide against big business so Christians can steal their property. The government has not yet issued a decree ... Read more

Review:A must-read for any English major! Other than that. . . sections of Hobbes' argument have been greatly helpful in writing articles for my blog; you'd be surprised at how much video games and certain works of literature cross over. Read more

Review:Zeihan is a great geopolitical thinker and this book distills his work in a very concise, readable and entertaining way. More then that, the last 12 months have really showed the relevancy of his predictions, coming on even faster then he had anticipated (more on that in The Absent Superpower, another must read).

If you are interested in the larger view about what is happening in the world, where we are going and why someone like Trump was going to be the next president regardless of the ... Read more

Review:For anyone interested in North Korea, this is the book for you. The book starts by chronicling the history of modern day North Korea and the rise to power of Kim Il Sung and his son Kim Jong Il. The second section of the book contains numerous interviews conducted by the author with North Korean defectors. From lowly workers at the bottom of society to the high officials in the North Korean system, this book paints a clear picture inside this elusive regime. The book culminates in a section rega...
