Review:Svetlana Alexievich was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize for literature. ‘The Unwomanly face of War’ has been translated by star Russian to American-English translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, and is being published in the re-vamped Penguin Classics series. That constitutes three good reasons to pay this book some attention.

The author inserts her own voice from time to time, but for the most part her book consists of extracts of letters from and interviews with women who took... Read more

Review:The first chapter of Thomas Woods's Meltdown is called "The Elephant in the Room." Dr. Woods, of course, is referring to the Federal Reserve -- a subject that merits just a few superficial mentions in Thomas Sowell's Economic Facts and Fallacies, all in reference to the Fed's statistical arm.

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
