Review:This book should be required reading for everyone who decides questions of war and peace, even as a citizen writing letter to Congress or the President. General Butler gives a whole new view of what is involved in using military force "to protect American interests." WARNING: Some of the photographs in the back of war's results are not just graphic but gruesome. Read more

Review:Zakaria goes to great lengths to remind us that the words "democracy" and "freedom" are not in the least synonymous. He points to Hong Kong as one example: even before the famed "handover" of the city to Communist China, there was nothing even remotely approaching democracy in the city -yet its capitalistic success and famed tolerance for just about every manner of behavior, fashion, and style points to an extremely free society. On the other side of the coin there are countries like Germany, ... 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

Review:Like a lot of people my age, opposing Apartheid was the moral equivalent of fighting fascism at the time. With divestment campaigns and protest marches on college campuses around the country, we did what we could to bring about the end of that system. After 1994 with victory won, we walked away and turned our focus on other things. One doesn't have to agree with Ms. Mercer's libertarian views to recognize that something went seriously wrong in South Africa when we were no longer paying attent... Read more

Review:Breaking Cover: My Secret Life in the CIA and What It Taught Me about What's Worth Fighting For is a great insight into what life in the CIA looks like. Something we don't get to see very often. Michele is definitely a woman who stands up the impossible.

I loved how Michele gives credit to God for leading her steps. Michele and her husband were able to help Iraqi Christians to get away from Isis. They probably wouldn't have been as successful ifs they didn't have their previous training.<... Read more

Review:The line, "stranger than fiction" applies. Doesn't read like fiction, but it isn't. The trade craft in his books is fascinating to read. I admire him so much that I will read anything he writes. It is so much more interesting to hear it from someone "who has been there--done it". Read more

Review:I love spy novels and espionage books in general. This book was a thorough story about a man's journey from the cold hell of east Germany to the "evil" capitalist society - USA as a kgb spy. In the end freedom, family, and the truth about capitalism prevailed - screw communism! Read more
