Review:Keegan could have used some help from his editors. The maps are next to useless. For example, the map accompanying the text on why the German right was extended and had to retreat during the first stage of the war shows nothing even suggesting the military problem. Keegan states that many people have suggested ways that the always failing attacks against dug-in troops could have been improved. This is one of the great military questions of the war, since all sides continually attacked wi... Read more

Review:An in depth but somewhat verbose account of his concepts and astute observations. Having read War and Peace many years ago, I feel that this marathon read should have been entitled “War and War”. I highly recommend this book for its perspicacity and realpolitik lessons. Read more

Review:But entertaining.

Jon Ronson does his best to investigate a bizarre corner of the U.S. government; the psychics of the intelligence community. To get there, he interviews veterans of the programs, and LTC (ret) Jim Channon, author of First Earth Battalion Operations Manual (which is very central to what Ronson found out and his interpretation of what he learned).

Drug experiments, meditation,... Read more

Review:I have read this book three times cover to cover and each time I come away with a new insight as to who we are as a nation and as a people.
This book is fundamentally one of the most important books I have read in my life time and is a must read for everyone, whether or not you are a citizen. The Crucible of War sets the foundation, the stage for who we are as a people and what our country is all about. In my opinion no student, amateur historian or US Citizen can fully contemplate the histo... Read more

Review:A well written history that covers those early months of WWII in the Pacific. The author captures the uncertainty and confusion immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor through the US Navy's recovery with its victory at Midway. I also appreciated the insight given to key leaders on both sides. Read more

Review:WARNING - Do not buy Sovereign Grace Publishers Henry Cole translation of Bondage of the Will.

After slogging through 95 pages of its barely understandable jargon, I asked my dad, Pastor Gerry Mohr (LCMS) if Luther's reputation for intellect was, perhaps, a bit unearned. He replied, "Cole whipped out his translation effort in three months or less. Luther's original is a direct reply to a work by Erasmus directly aimed against what Luther was teaching. Cole does not take the time to und... Read more

Review:Fantastic book. I grew up in MN, and my mother's and father's families grew up in the same Southern MN area. Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books always rang true with my family stories. This is a great historical book, the foot notes show the recorded history and reveal that Laura Ingalls Wilder only at times "stretched the truth". This book makes Laura's stories even more 'true'. I cannot recommend it higher. 10 stars would not due it justicve. Read more

Review:How can anyone who lived through the Second World War not be moved by this remarkable account of survival by a young Jewish boy in Poland. The write up in the ( i ) didn't do it justice. That's why I bought the book. Read more
