Over sixty years ago, Eugene Lyons--Russian born, American bred--sought to explain just what happened among America's left-wing intellectuals in the previous decade. The thirties were unkind to them, as they started the decade damning such "social fascists" as FDR, voted for Foster and Ford, then, on orders from Moscow, hailed the liberals as allies in the fight against fascism. Ah, but then Stalin signed a pact with fascism--so back went Franklin to the vituperation pile. (Eleanor was OK.) The war brought about some changes: it was "imperialist," and so resistance to Hitler was out of fashion (a word Hellman would disengenuously use later). The Hollywood Anti-Nazi Committee changed its name to something less provocative; those who had whooped for the purge trials moved onto calling for strikes in defense industries. The yanks weren't coming, they said. Then Hitler broke the treaty. The change was immediate. Suddenly the yanks WERE coming, if the intellectualoids of the left had anything to say. Supporting all this, driving this, in fact, were those Hollywood Ten types the left love to tell us were just "activists," persecuted innocents. These innocents sided with Stalin and, for a time, Hitler. (Think about that the next time you laud such people.) This book is a true classic. It's erudite and witty style makes the subject anything but dry. This book is a must for conservatives--and liberals who wish to be truly iconoclastic.

Eugene's poems arise from a poignant sensitivity to the human condition,providing insight into not only the Black experience, but the joys, fears, and disappointments of all people facing our modern world

Editor of the quarterly journal "Modern Age" in the 1960s, former President of the Foundation for Foreign Affairs, and now President Emeritus of the Conference on European Problems, Eugene Davidson was and remains uniquely qualified to write on the international political issues of the 60s. Highly recommended reading for students of American history, political science, and international studies, 36 essays compiled in Reflections On A Disruptive Decade span from Mr Dallin among the Scholars (1960) to Castles in Spain and Other Countries (1969) and collective comprise a complete spectrum of observations and commentaries on the political, cultural, social and international issues, events and personalities of the times.

Goodheart has long been recognized as well-nigh a national treasure for his long cultural view and bracing skepticism re: skeptical cultural critics themselves. His courageous resistance to fashionable "interventions" is refreshing; the reader of his *Reign* feels that s/he has consumed a kind of intellectual tonic. I'm not so old as to have forgotten why I got mixed up in the literary-biz in the first place, and I can honestly say that Goodheart's chapters on Matthew Arnold made me laugh, made me cry, made me want to care about people. I'll be up all night turning the pages of his next book, and I'll be telling all my friends.

A great western writer. You can't put this book down once you start! The author puts you in the seat of Dean Archer and you want to win.... A well written exciting story of the old west.

A good mystery filled with twist and turns. Thought provoking as it weaves fiction and history into the search for a treasure that could unravel the Christain church. Kirkwood is a character that you will eather love or hate. It is full of Scottish history.

Methvin examines what might be called the fundamentals of leftism: propaganda, confrontation, organization and violence. Buy it, especially if you view the political process from a historical perspective

this book helps scholars to understand the sources in greek tragedies that O'Neill drew upon for his own work. It covers achetypal figures such as Dionysus, Elecktra and others.

Reading it now for the second time, I realise that "Run with the Horses" (the British title is "The Quest") is possibly one of the most dynamic and uplifting books I've ever read. It's about living life, the God-life, to the fullest - persuing it with excellence, "running with the horses". It's about how living life this way, and refusing to accept or settle for the mediocre, is, for the Christian, the only true measure of success. In a goal-driven, achievement-orientated world, the life of Jeremiah offers hope and encouragement to those who do not fit the world's mould. Jeremiah's is a life lived passionately for God; a life that refuses to be beaten down, and to be conformed to the standards and patterns of the world. It's not an easy life - Jeremiah has more than his fair share of doubts, despair and rejection. But, ultimately, it's the only life worth living. A stunning piece of writing. Read it, and marvel.

I have been a collector of a cold steel for years but this book is the first one to be named a really professional guide.
