One of the finest military minds in AmericaColonel Corson has written a devastating book. In it he carefully explains how mismanagement, self-deception and corruption caused the failure of the American military effort in Vietnam. Before retiring from the Marine Corps, the author worked with both senior Pentagon officials and top White House advisors. This well-written and insightful book is an honest appraisal of a complicated subject by a special Marine officer with great vision.

Cry for WarThis is a book of the streets and the people who inhabit them. It's a book of punk rockers, welfare mothers, Golden Gate Park, pot farms, nomads crashing in abandoned cabins, and murder. Suzan and Michael are pot dealers (and smokers) who are high on their own insanity. They see themselves as Moslem assassins and their lives as a holy war against "Witches" and other "infidels."
Richard Reynolds becomes Suzan and Michael as does the reader. How many times have you become somebody else? How often has it been someone repellant and still you loved the experience? Highly recommended


It's design!

From the Nat Turner Rebellion to the Compromise of 1850"Days of Sorrow, Years of Glory" goes beyond the most famous names in the struggle of black Americans for liberty (Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass) to tell about Norbert Rillieux, William Henry Lane, and Joseph Cinque. I was pretty well versed in the political side of the story in terms of how the nation got from the Missouri Compromise to the Great Compromise of 1850, but Paulson is focusing more on the social side of the struggle. As a result, it is rather surprising to see how much was happening in Black American History in the years before the decade leading up to the Civil War. This book is illustrated with contemporary etchings, drawings, cartoons, and photographs from the period, including a photograph of the Hanging Tree where Nat Turner was executed, the title page of a book written by Frederick Douglass, and a much-reprinted lithograph entitled "The Old Plantation" showing the South's idealized view of slavery. For classes, students and teachers who want more information about American History from the African-American perspective than they will find in their textbooks, this is an excellent series.
