> America's Rasputin: Walt Rostow and the Vietnam War Reviews

High Intellect meets stubborn ignorance.
Superbly written account of Walt Rostow's influence over President Johnson and, ultimately the Vietnam war.

Walt Rostow, undoubtedly is a brilliant academic. His resume reads like a road map to the highest education possible within the United States and England. One prestigious university after another. Astounding appetite for learning, writing and hypothesizing. So, assuming you view his ideology as wrong; what went wrong?

Walt Rostow, early in his academic career decided to answer Karl Marx's communist manifesto with his own "Stages of development" aimed at creating democracies. His academics secured him a spot as National Security adviser under, first Kennedy then Johnson. Rostow brought brilliance to the position but, with that brilliance came rigid, unwavering thinking along with a self assurance and comfort that his way was right.

From the outset of the war, Rostow wanted to bomb, bomb and, when all the bombing was done, bomb some more. North...

* From Classrooms to Claymores: A Teacher at War in Vietnam Sale

Author's comments
Since FROM CLASSROOMS TO CLAYMORES is my first book, I 'm very excited to see it in print. I am pleased that Amazon.com will distribute it. There are several corrections that should be made to the Synopsis. When I was drafted at the age of 26, not 21, I was much older than most of the other men in my unit. (I was drafted 30 days before my 26th birthday. Had I made the age of 26, I would have been draft exempt and this book wouldn't have been written). Also, I served in the 1st Air Cavalry, not the 1st Air Vietnam. While I did behave myself most of the time and did get a Good Conduct Medal, I actually received the Air Medal for 25 plus combat assaults into enemy territory. I believe everyone who reads my story will enjoy it. Readers will find it different from the typical Vietnam type book. While I do tell a few shoot-em up stories (What war vet wouldn't?), about 50% of the book is humor and tales of daily survival in the jungle and on Fire Support bases.

> Clean Breaks: 500 new ways to see the world (Rough Guide Travel Guides) Sale

Green with envy over these authors who traveled green!
Clean Breaks: 500 new ways to see the world (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by Jeremy Smith and Richard Hammond
Rough Guides (August 3, 2009)
Ages - Teens+
Cautions: None

Kiwi Magazine Review:
While reading about all of these amazing `green' adventures, I was positively green with envy. Oh, to be one of these two authors! I devoured this book, adding destination after destination to my bucket list. Having been a Peace Corps volunteer in Slovakia, I did have to laugh out loud at the one listing for my old home; the listing says that the destination is easily accessible from Krakow and Budapest. So, I peeked at many of the other places I have traveled like Transylvania (Romania), Kenya, Uganda, Turkey and dozens of others. I decided that I may need to take some of the authors' advice with the tiniest grain of dead sea salt.

^ Even the Women Must Fight: Memories of War from North Vietnam Review

Very useful, interesting, and important
I am currently going to college and I took a course on the Vietnam crisis and war, and Even the Women Must Fight was one of the last books that we read. After reading books that focused mainly or even completely on the American experience in Vietnam, it was extrmely interesting to read about how the Vietnamese saw and dealt with the war. The thousands of civilians who added such strength to the North Vietnamese war effort were people who had been described in all of the sources we read as 'coolie' laborers--people conscripted by the govenment to do necessary work. To read the accounts of women who fought in the war, or risked their lives to maintain the Ho Chi Minh trail simply added a new dimension to my understanding of the Vietnamese side, and indeed of the entire war itself.

^ Divided We Fall: How Disunity Leads to Defeat Promo Offer

honest, accurate, extensively documented
Divided We Fall is the most thoroughly and factually documented book about the Vietnam era that I have ever read. The thesis is validated by high level government and military officials in North Vietnam and our own former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger. He has stated that, "In Vietnam we defeated ourselves with domestic divisions."

The author provides proof that the Communist regime in North Vietnam used and manipulated the antiwar movement in the United Sates to win a political victory in a war that it could not win militarily. In the enemy's own words, the antiwar movement played a major role in their war fighting strategy.

The author provides irrefutable evidence that the antiwar movement encouraged the enemy to hold out in the face of numerous battlefield defeats. This prolonged the war by several years and contributed immeasurably to our eventual defeat...

^ Telltale Hearts: The Origins and Impact of the Vietnam Anti-War Movement Sale

Book was clearly written and loaded with evidence.
Garfinkle debunks one of the great myths of the Vietnam era, that the antiwar movement in any way hastened the end of our involvement there. As the author notes, much of the reason for the almost universal acceptance of this view is because we are so used to hearing it, and because on a certain level we want to believe that outraged Americans can and did change the course of history. Garfinkle points to a number of Harris and Gallup polls from the 1960s which clearly demonstrate that if there was anything more hated than the war itself, it was the antiwar movement. He also details how this rage on the part of the "silent majority" put Richard Nixon into office, which gave America four more years of war and another 25,000 dead American soldiers. A wonderful book, rich with detail and original insight.

>>> Contemporary American Cinema Review

An Outstanding Survey of Contemporary American Cinema
Contemporary American Cinema is what it says it is: an overview of post-1960 American cinema that is so thorough and so clear that it will be useful to all film specialists and accessible to virtually all film students. This book is also authoritative, bringing together an all-star lineup of critics and scholars in one fairly compact volume. It was this lineup that convinced me, a reader with avid interest in film and media studies but not a teacher or student per se, to buy the book in the first place. What has made this purchase truly economical is not only the weight of information conveyed by the book but the efficiency with which the book conveys it. Contemporary American Cinema will remind you of what you know even as it tells you something fresh, smart, and disruptive in every new paragraph: and all without knee-breaking trips to the library.

Any review of this book must, then, include a review of its editors and contributors, many of whom are luminaries in film and...

^ Why Are We in Vietnam?: A Novel Reviews

The definitive work on American machismo
Two raunchy, young Texans go to Alaska with their fathers to hunt bighorn sheep from a helicopter. Vietnam is mentioned in the last two sentences of the novel. If you can't figure out the relationship, you probably think that John Wayne was a great American hero ...
In a way, it's a pity that Mailer tied this story so closely to a specific war, because the book is powerfully relevant to Americans' view of themselves in many other historical contexts. But it's not a dull dissertation; it's entertaining, lively, and often hilarious. Still very much worth reading.

* Top 10 Bangkok (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) Reviews

Smart little travel guide for Bangkok
The PLUS: 5 Stars!
The guide takes a pyramidal approach to the sights of your destination. So you slowly can work yourself through the areas that really interest you by easily skipping things you would not want to see or visit at all.
It also makes it easy to find the things that are important to you because the descriptions are small enough and pictures further make it easy to attract your interest or pass things by.

The MINUS: 4 Stars!
The good about the Maps is that they are there at all and also that there is an index of some streets.
The contained foldout maps though helpful when there is nothing else at all are not my favorite because they are quite small and are more an overview to identify the area where something is to be found on a better more detailed map. The same maps as the foldouts are also on a separate map that is detachable. This is a good idea but they are way to small and hard to read especially in dim light and in an awkward format...

^ Recovering from the War: A Woman's Guide to Helping Your Vietnam Vet, Your Family, and Yourself Sale

Recovering from the War: A Woman's Guide to Helping Your Vie
I highly recommend this book to ANY combat veteran's wife and family. It should be required reading for any wife of a combat veteran even if her husband has not been diagnosed with PTSD.
I have been with my wife for ten years. Last year she took our children and left me becuase she thought that she was going to lose her mind. She always thought that if she could do better then I would be OK. It didn't work and I blamed her for everything.
When she left, I promised her that I would get counseling. I did and was diagnosed with PTSD. I've had it for twenty years and never knew. After three months, she returned home and began to study this book. She totally understands now and we are healing together. We are both amazed at how accurately this book portrays our own life.
She is now my BEST FRIEND and only support system (nobody else understands). We finally have a real relationship.
My wife gets frustrated when she re-calls all of the people who told her to leave me. If...

Divided We Stand is a wonderful companion to Jim Percoco's A Passion for the Past. It provides a thoughtful and fresh viewpoint toward teaching some of the major conflicts in American History, such as the American Revolution, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the Civil Rights movement, Gender issues, and Vietnam.

The writing is engaging and filled with enthusiasm, which you will undoubtedly take with you to your classroom. This source is so full of ideas and practical information that you will find yourself reading it over and over and keeping it on the top of your desk for daily reference.

>> Tender Warrior: Every Man's Purpose, Every Woman's Dream, Every Child's Hope Half Off

Excellent book on being a Christian father and husband
This is an excellent and inspiring book for all men who want to be what God has called them to be. I think most men know that we're not living up to all that we could or should be, but so many of us don't know what to do about it. We're not being "real men." So many of us didn't have good role models in our own fathers, and this book can help fill in the gaps. For example, I use this book when working with young men whose wives or (more often) girlfriends are pregnant at the Crisis Pregnancy Center where my wife and I volunteer.

Now, for those of you who may be thinking "Oh no, not another 'get naked and beat tribal drums' book," Weber discusses several of the "drum beating" types of books, fairly discussing their positive points but concluding that they fall way short of where they need to in their search for authentic manhood. To find what men are made to be, you have to go back to the Author himself: past one man's personal insights into himself, past ancient tribal...

I found this book quite different to other traditional guides: knowing that tourist have limited time to visit a town it focused in what it is best, and does a very good job about it!

Although it is a guide to Ho Chi MInh City it was a great surprise to find out valuable information about many other Vietnam cities (most of which were in our plan to visit)

~ Unlikely Destinations: The Lonely Planet Story Reviews

Living your dreams
I'm not a person who generally reads armchair travel books. For the most part, I stick to fiction. But when my sister handed me this book and I started reading it (on the train, I was *really* bored), I just couldn't put it down!

Unlikely Destinations is more than just a travel story, although the places the Wheelers have been, how they got where they were going and what they've seen & experienced are incredibly thrilling in and of themselves. But this is also a love story between two people and between a married couple and travel, and eventually, a family of four and travel. It's a business adventure and cautionary tale, about starting your own business from nothing and turning it into a multi-million dollar company, despite or perhaps because of the many bumps encountered along the way. This is not a story about an overnight phenomenon, but rather it's about how much dedication, hard work, sacrifice and yes, love, it takes to follow the road less traveled.

>>> Up Country Big SALE

A Meaningful Experience
It's true, this is not a typical Nelson Demille thriller packed with intrigue, espionage and murder, but it is a fascinating story and obviously a topic that means a great deal to him. Paul Brenner, from The General's Daughter, is back and is called out of retirement to go back to Vietnam to perform a vaguely described mission for his former bosses at CID. As a veteran, Vietnam is the last place in the world he wants to go, however curiosity eventually overcomes his misgivings and he agrees to the mission.

Starting at Saigon, Brenner proceeds to accomplish two missions, one official and the other personal. He makes contact with Susan Weber who is more than she appears. He also relives many moments from the days during the war, exorcising some old demons along the way. From Saigon he heads north, up country, visiting old battlegrounds and lending great insight to us, the reader, into what life was like as an American GI in Vietnam.

Thompson's book is meant to be a one-stop reference for those badges and medals that you might think you were awarded.

The introduction states Thompson originally developed this book because there were no single source for the history of Marine Corps decorations, wards, ribbons, rank, insignia and badges that also included details on the proper wearing. He delivered on his mission and now has given us an updated version to keep us current.

^ Drink, Shit, Hump: One man's misadventures while chasing women across China, India and a country near you. Big SALE

I Approve This Title
I'm glad this title has a nasty word in it! This alerts the reader that there are some x-rated stories inside. The first 50 pages give good instruction on how to travel in foreign countries. The rest of the book contains amuzing and informative stories about travel, but are definitely aimed at the tastes of those over 18. I would recommend this book to young ladies who want to know how the young men of the world think!
