Thorough and insightful
This book gives a thorough explanation of the troops and equipment used during the Persian Gulf War and the build up to the war. The authors dig to find the most accurate numbers. Also give expert analysis on the Iraqi army and coalition forces in terms of diplomacy and experience. Also good background on the history of the region. I give the book an A.


Garrity Test
Published in Hardcover by Bookcraft Pubs (August, 1992)
Author: Brenton G. Yorgason
Average review score:

The Yorgasons have done it again, this time, best of all
The Yorgason brothers are two of the greatest authors of their kind. In fact I think Brenton especially could be put up there with some of the greatest authors read by the general public. My favorite was their "A Town Called Charity" until this was given to me. An exceptional job. Through Jack's struggle into Lybia from his rescuing of the rebels son it was a non stop thriller with that added spiritual faith mixed in. Great Book!!

The Gulf
Published in Hardcover by Harcourt (January, 1986)
Author: Charlie McDade
Average review score:

Gulfs -- not just water but of relationships and more
Isaac Roth, running away from grief after the death of his beloved wife, moves to a small Texas town on the Gulf of Mexico. David Hodges returns from Vietnam, scarred by the war. David's brother, Peter, returns from Canada, where he fled to escape the draft. Kate Riley has waited for David for four years and now she expects him to marry her so they can live happily ever after.

Witman, Texas is the sleepy little Gulf coast town where these characters all come together, with Vietnamese fishermen who come to ply their trade in the already depresses fishing industry.

The gulfs in this story are far more than a body of water. There are gulfs between city life and small town life, between humans in relationships, between cruelty in society and in the cruelties in war.

This is a story of long, manipulation, of bitter emotion and senseless violence. It is also a painfully accurate portrayal of the human condition. It will hold your attention. It may hurt your heart.


Gulf Breeze double exposed : the "ghost-demon" photo controversy
Published in Unknown Binding by J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies ()
Author: Zan Overall
Average review score:

Excellent research material on Ed Walters's UFO hoax...
When the first Gulf Breeze photos came out it was a big
sensation to all UFO investigators.

However, when Ed Walters began to get MORE and MORE and MORE
photos of UFOs around Gulf Breeze, Florida over different
periods and he seemed to be the ONLY ONE that was able to get
photographs of something that showed something in the sky that
was made by some higher intelligent.

Why was HE(Ed Walters) the ONLY ONE that was able to get very
clear photos of what appeared to be an alien spaceship and
nobody else in Gulf Breeze??
The answer is simple he faked the whole thing.

Some UFOLOGISTS that have backed Ed Walters on his claims forgot
something that applies to all especially in the field of
UFO Research, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably
is not".
Mr. Zan Overall did an EXCELLENT job finding out that Ed Walters
of making ghost photographs at parties he did before his first
UFO GULF BREEZE photograph came out.
It was also surprising he used the same type of camera to take
ghost photos and his famous GULF BREEZE photos.

The J. Allen Hynek Center For UFO Studies(CUFOS) was the only
PRO-UFO organization that really questioned the claims of
Ed Walters and the whole UFO Gulf Breeze thing.

And this detrailed & researched material published by them is a
must for all that study & research the UFO phenomenon on
what to look for in investigating UFOs.

Gulf Gourmet
Published in Hardcover by Westminster Academy (July, 1991)
Author: Westminister Academy PTA
Average review score:

A Goldmine of Southern Cuisine
Ahh, the Gulf Gourmet...when I saw that this gem of a cookbook had not been reviewed, I simply could not resist. This cookbook is a sentimental favorite of mine, since it was my very first cookbook when I was growing up in Mississippi. I made my first Shrimp Gumbo from a recipe in this book. But sentimentality aside, don't let the name of the book fool you - in addition to the many seafood recipes contained within, it is also jam packed with recipes in the following categoreis: Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Vegetables, Poultry, Game, Meats, Desserts, Cakes, and Pies. There is something to please everyone in this book. I am thrilled that it is still in print! So please, do not hesitate to add this to your collection. From the Banana Milkshake to the Cheesy Tuna Bunwiches, to the Shrimp Gumbo and Mississippi Mud Cake, you are sure to find something to delight the palate in classic Southern style!


Gulf Islands Explorer: The Complete Guide
Published in Paperback by Whitecap Books (December, 1997)
Author: Bruce Obee
Average review score:

An informative, engaging guide to the Gulf Islands
Bruce Obee's book was the one I picked up any time I wondered, "What's the story behind this ___?" "The Gulf Islands Explorer" is chock full of information on anything from harbor seals to the story on the tiny island you can see from your cottage window. Obee tells about wildlife, climate, island governance, environmental issues, history, and exploring routes on and off the beaten path.

Accommodations and restaurant information is not included in this book. That's OK by me, since that information is widely available from the Chamber of Commerce, the Web, and other guides.

I particularly appreciated that he included a celsius-to-farenheit visual thermometer--it made translating the weather report a snap!

Boaters, hikers, bicyclists, kayakers, fishing fans, and other casual walkers like me will glean useful and entertaining information from this book.
