I have also used the information to prevent problem. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I have given this book as presents and my friends use and love the book.

This is a great book if you're a steam fan. It's covers all types of motive power used by Union Pacific during the late 40s and 50s, 4-8-8-4 Big Boys, Challengers, Northerns and so on. All the photos are black and white, but are high quality with detailed captions and chapter descriptions. This book would also be useful for anyone interested in modeling a railroad around this area or for UP steam in general. Another high-quality book from Kalmbach Publishing.

A sweet, honest tribute to the author's father and filled with pearls of wisdom for living today. It brought me to laughter and to tears and gave me new perspectives in parenting my children from a Christian perspective. Must reading!

The irrepressible Victor Borge takes us through a hysterical journey of the history of modern music. With dozens of anecdotes to amuse, you barely know you are learning. Neither composer nor prodigy nor instrument is safe from the deeply tongue-in-cheek tales. A must read for any musician who is tired of dry, tedious musical histories.

This is not just a political love story, Victor's Place reaches a whole new level. Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland,we follow our protaganist Victor O'Rawe through his struggle to survive in a world that always seems to be against him. Then he meets the love of his life, Attracta, and what befalls him next is undescribable. I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone. A universal emotional story that both men and women alike will not be able to put down. I loved it!!!

Melissa Jensen is Jewish, but her Judiasm has never been a major aspect of her life. When her father, a playwrite, gets a chance for one of his plays to be produced in Henryville Missouri, Melissa has to move. She's not too happy about the decision, but she soon meets friends at her new school. One of them is Daniel Goodman, and another is Johnny McGraw. Their contrasting personalities pose a problem. All because Daniel is Jewish.
As she confronts the reality of Anti-Semitism in her new school, and the fact that Daniel gets pushed around so violently because of his religion, Melissa questions if she should reveal her religion to her new found friends. Daniel and Melissa's mutual dedication to the violin brings them close, and Melissa's heart again questions if she should speak up against all the prejudice she witnesses.

The reader really feels the emotions of tension and uncertainy during this book. Melissa's questions make you want to keep turning the pages.

I would reccomend this book to kids ages 11 and up. The book made an impression on me, and I belive it will make an impression on them too. Jewish or not, the reader could still relate to the main character. It's five stars are truly deserved.

As author of the book, "Gaijin Shogun, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Stepfather of Postwar Japan" which focuses on the Occupation period, and a former member of Gen. MacArthur's Honor Guard, I was interested to read "War Crimes." It was brought to my attention by another former member of the honor guard, the brother of the author, Samuel Thurman.

The author, a young G.I. in occupied Japan was assigned to the International Military Tribunal as a page, and though only about 20 years old, he took a deep interest in the proceedings, so much so that he collected many of the written records. These records contained extensive testimonies of witnesses, prosecution and defense statements, and other related matters. M.J. Thurman, who was called Joe, collected boxes of these documents with the thought in mind that he would do something with them one day. Those days turned out to be decades later after a military career and a subsequent civilian career. Not long before his death he completed his manuscript, which was impressive in its size and detail, but not ready for publication. After Joe died his daughter Christine, an experienced lawyer, took up the task of shaping the manuscript into something acceptable for publication and brother Samuel assisted in getting the book published.

This is a sad book to read. It presents a detailed picture of war crimes, often too gross to contemplate, but a record that needs to be told and registered in the public consciousness. The book brings attention to those individuals (28 charged,) whose crimes were so heinous, or whose callous influence so deep and widespread that they were rightly tried as war criminals. All were also surrogates for thousands of others who could have been tried had the court elected to pursue them. Though it was a trial for individuals, one could not conclude that the crimes were just those of aberrant personalties. Responsibility should also fall heavily on the shoulders of the government of that period that created and perpetuated an atmosphere of radicalism and hatred, with little or no regard for the human dignity of others.

Story after story by witnesses recount multiple autrocities of small scale and large scale, such as the Rape of Nanking and the Rape of Manila, with few accounts of mercy or compassion for civilian populations or prisoners of war that fell into the hands of the Japanese.

At the top of the power structure of those brought to trial was Hideki Tojo, who attempted to commit suicide during the trial. Tojo was for many years in the position of power to mastermind the quest for domination of the East. Arguments were made at the time to place the emperor, Hirohito, right along side of Tojo, or at a more responsible position. However, Gen. MacArthur used his considerable influence to prevent the emperor from being charged as a war criminal, as he felt this would seriously undermine the ability of the Allies to bring order to Japan.

The book presents in detail, sometimes repetitively so, all that the subject deserves. It will be an important reference for those who wish to know more of Japan's ugly history of war and expansion and will deter revisionists in their attempts to deny, obfuscate, and ignore the past. It is unfortunate that Japan, a nation of good and well intentioned people today, will not realistically face up to their past. Until they do they will forever earn the enmity, particularly of other Asians,of those they so disabused.
