Once finally emancipated by Senator Daniel Webster later in life, he would give an aged and impoverished Dolley Madison, his former owner, money from his own pocket, write the first White House memoir, and see his sons fight with the Union Army in the Civil War. He died a free man in northwest Washington at 75. Based on correspondence, legal documents, and journal entries rarely seen before, this amazing portrait of the times reveals the mores and attitudes toward slavery of the nineteenth century, and sheds new light on famous characters such as James Madison, who believed the white and black populations could not coexist as equals; French General Lafayette who was appalled by this idea; Dolley Madison, who ruthlessly sold Paul after her husband's death; and many other since forgotten slaves, abolitionists, and civil right activists.</P><P>Paul Jennings was born into slavery on the plantation of James and Dolley Madison in Virginia, later becoming part of the Madison household staff at the White House.

Madoff was taken away from his posh Manhattan apartment in handcuffs, accused of swindling thousands of innocent victims—including friends and family—out of billions of dollars in the world’s largest Ponzi scheme. Madoff went to jail; he will spend the rest of his life there. But what happened to his devoted wife and sons? The people closest to him, the public reasoned, must have known the truth behind his astounding success. Had they been tricked, too?</p> <p>With unprecedented access to the surviving family members—wife Ruth, son Andrew and his fiancée Catherine Hooper—journalist Laurie Sandell reveals the personal details behind the headlines. How did Andrew and Mark, the sons who’d spent their lives believing in and building their own families around their father’s business first learn of the massive deception? How does a wife, who adored her husband since they were teenagers, begin to understand the ramifications of his actions? The Madoffs were a tight-knit—even claustrophobic—clan, sticking together through marriages, divorces, and illnesses. But the pressures of enduring the massive scandal push them to their breaking points, most of all son Mark, whose suicide is one of the many tragedies that grew in the wake of the scandal.</p> <p>Muzzled by lawyers, vilified by the media and roundly condemned by the public, the Madoffs have chosen to keep their silence—until now. Ultimately, theirs is one of the most riveting stories of our time: a modern-day Greek tragedy about money, power, lies, family, truth and consequences.</p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Truth-Consequences-Inside-Madoff-Family/dp/0316198935?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Truth-Consequences-Inside-Madoff-Family/dp/0316198935?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-8992726270231923729?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-88963211263863532522011-10-23T11:02:00.001-07:002011-10-23T11:02:10.055-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Higher-Honor-Memoir-Washington/dp/030758786X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gCgqJqwGL._SL160_.jpg" alt="No Higher Honor" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Higher-Honor-Memoir-Washington/dp/030758786X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington</a></span> <br /><span>by Condoleezza Rice</span> <br /><span><em>Release Date: November 1, 2011</em><br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Higher-Honor-Memoir-Washington/dp/030758786X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$35.00</strike> <b>$22.40</b> <br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p>From one of the world’s most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s compelling story of eight years serving at the highest levels of government.  In her position as America’s chief diplomat, Rice traveled almost continuously around the globe, seeking common ground among sometimes bitter enemies, forging agreement on divisive issues, and compiling a remarkable record of achievement.<br> <br>A native of Birmingham, Alabama who overcame the racism of the Civil Rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign.  Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief adviser on national-security issues – a job whose duties included harmonizing the relationship between the Secretaries of State and Defense.  It was a role that deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes.<br> <br>With the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the Administration’s intense efforts to keep America safe.  Here, Rice describes the events of that harrowing day – and the tumultuous days after.  No day was ever the same.  Additionally, Rice also reveals new details of the debates that led to the war in Afghanistan and then Iraq.<br> <br>The eyes of the nation were once again focused on Rice in 2004 when she appeared before the 9-11 Commission to answer tough questions regarding the country’s preparedness for – and immediate response to – the 9-11 attacks.  Her responses, it was generally conceded, would shape the nation’s perception of the Administration’s competence during the crisis.  Rice conveys just how pressure-filled that appearance was and her surprised gratitude when, in succeeding days, she was broadly saluted for her grace and forthrightness.<br><br>From that point forward, Rice was aggressively sought after by the media and regarded by some as the Administration’s most effective champion.<br> <br>In 2005 Rice was entrusted with even more responsibility when she was charged with helping to shape and carry forward the President’s foreign policy as Secretary of State.  As such, she proved herself a deft crafter of tactics and negotiation aimed to contain or reduce the threat posed by America’s enemies.  Here, she reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuvers that kept the world’s relationships with Iran, North Korea and Libya from collapsing into chaos.  She also talks about her role as a crisis manager, showing that at any hour -- and at a moment’s notice -- she was willing to bring all parties to the bargaining table anywhere in the world.<br> <br><i><b>No Higher Honor</b> </i>takes the reader into secret negotiating rooms where the fates of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Lebanon often hung in the balance, and it draws back the curtain on how frighteningly close all-out war loomed in clashes involving Pakistan-India and Russia-Georgia, and in East Africa.  <br> <br>Surprisingly candid in her appraisals of various Administration colleagues and the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also offers here keen insight into how history actually proceeds.  In<b> </b><i><b>No Higher Honor</b>,</i> she delivers<i> </i>a master class in statecraft  -- but always in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility, and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Higher-Honor-Memoir-Washington/dp/030758786X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Higher-Honor-Memoir-Washington/dp/030758786X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-8896321126386353252?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-19590102234103196582011-10-23T07:02:00.001-07:002011-10-23T07:02:24.124-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-Amish-ebook/dp/B0051CC7LC?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K3d45iK6L._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="Growing Up" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-Amish-ebook/dp/B0051CC7LC?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Growing Up Amish</a></span> <br /><span>Ira Wagler <span>(Author)</span></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-5._V192261415_.gif" width="64" alt="4.3 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0;

And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist.</p><p>Once described by Mao Zedong as a “needle inside a ball of cotton,” Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China’s radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao’s cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China’s growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiananmen Square.</p><p>Deng’s youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920s, among a group of Chinese student-workers that also included Zhou Enlai<b>. </b>Deng returned home in 1927 to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China’s preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao—and he did not hesitate.</p> (20110715) <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deng-Xiaoping-Transformation-China-Vogel/dp/0674055446?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deng-Xiaoping-Transformation-China-Vogel/dp/0674055446?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-3022232601156516436?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-29348526940899050232011-10-21T07:02:00.001-07:002011-10-21T07:02:30.308-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Great-Portrait-Robert-Massie/dp/0679456724?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JhiOZ969L._SL160_.jpg" alt="Catherine the Great" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Great-Portrait-Robert-Massie/dp/0679456724?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Robert-K.-Massie/e/B000AQ6XVE">Robert K.

Possessing a brilliant mind and an insatiable curiosity as a young woman, she devoured the works of Enlightenment philosophers and, when she reached the throne, attempted to use their principles to guide her rule of the vast and backward Russian empire. She knew or corresponded with the preeminent historical figures of her time: Voltaire, Diderot, Frederick the Great, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Antoinette, and, surprisingly, the American naval hero, John Paul Jones.<br><br>Reaching the throne fired by Enlightenment philosophy and determined to become the embodiment of the “benevolent despot” idealized by Montesquieu, she found herself always contending with the deeply ingrained realities of Russian life, including serfdom. She persevered, and for thirty-four years the government, foreign policy, cultural development, and welfare of the Russian people were in her hands. She dealt with domestic rebellion, foreign wars, and the tidal wave of political change and violence churned up by the French Revolution that swept across Europe. Her reputation depended entirely on the perspective of the speaker. She was praised by Voltaire as the equal of the greatest of classical philosophers; she was condemned by her enemies, mostly foreign, as “the Messalina of the north.”<br><br>Catherine’s family, friends, ministers, generals, lovers, and enemies—all are here, vividly described. These included her ambitious, perpetually scheming mother; her weak, bullying husband, Peter (who left her lying untouched beside him for nine years after their marriage); her unhappy son and heir, Paul; her beloved grandchildren; and her “favorites”—the parade of young men from whom she sought companionship and the recapture of youth as well as sex. Here, too, is the giant figure of Gregory Potemkin, her most significant lover and possible husband, with whom she shared a passionate correspondence of love and separation, followed by seventeen years of unparalleled mutual achievement.<br><br>The story is superbly told. All the special qualities that Robert K. Massie brought to <i>Nicholas and Alexandra</i> and <i>Peter the Great</i> are present here: historical accuracy, depth of understanding, felicity of style, mastery of detail, ability to shatter myth, and a rare genius for finding and expressing the human drama in extraordinary lives.<br><br>History offers few stories richer in drama than that of Catherine the Great. In this book, this eternally fascinating woman is returned to life. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Great-Portrait-Robert-Massie/dp/0679456724?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Great-Portrait-Robert-Massie/dp/0679456724?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-2934852694089905023?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-86482921587854164092011-10-18T23:02:00.001-07:002011-10-18T23:02:06.852-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kennedy-Elusive-Chris-Matthews/dp/1451635087?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51q1L8xdqIL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Jack Kennedy" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kennedy-Elusive-Chris-Matthews/dp/1451635087?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero</a></span> <br /><span>by Chris Matthews</span> <br /><span><em>Release Date: November 1, 2011</em><br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kennedy-Elusive-Chris-Matthews/dp/1451635087?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$27.50</strike> <b>$16.56</b> <br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><I>“What was he like?”</I><I></I>Jack Kennedy said the reason people read biography is to answer that basic question. With the verve of a novelist, Chris Matthews gives us just that. We see this most beloved president in the company of friends. We see and feel him close-up, having fun and giving off that restlessness of his. We watch him navigate his life from privileged, rebellious youth to gutsy American president. We witness his bravery in war and selfless rescue of his PT boat crew. We watch JFK as a young politician learning to play hardball and watch him grow into the leader who averts a nuclear war.What was he like, this person whose own wife called him “that elusive, unforgettable man”? The Jack Kennedy you discover here wanted never to be alone, never to be bored. He loved courage, hated war, lived each day as if it were his last.Chris Matthews’s extraordinary biography is based on personal interviews with those closest to JFK, oral histories by top political aide Kenneth O’Donnell and others, documents from his years as a student at Choate, and notes from Jacqueline Kennedy’s first interview after Dallas. You’ll learn the origins of his inaugural call to “Ask what you can do for your country.” You’ll discover his role in the genesis of the Peace Corps, his stand on civil rights, his push to put a man on the moon, his ban on nuclear arms testing. You’ll get, more than ever before, to the root of the man, including the unsettling aspects of his personal life. As Matthews writes, “I found a fighting prince never free of pain, never far from trouble, never accepting the world he found, never wanting to be his father’s son. He was a far greater hero than he ever wished us to know.” <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kennedy-Elusive-Chris-Matthews/dp/1451635087?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kennedy-Elusive-Chris-Matthews/dp/1451635087?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-8648292158785416409?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-26823042420470973432011-10-17T15:02:00.001-07:002011-10-17T15:02:09.869-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Wolf-Escape-Adolf-Hitler/dp/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VE-dtjitL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Grey Wolf" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Wolf-Escape-Adolf-Hitler/dp/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Simon-Dunstan/e/B001HMRGFC">Simon Dunstan</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Gerrard-Williams/e/B005BDPCKY">Gerrard Williams</a></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-0._V192261413_.gif" width="64" alt="3.8 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(12)<br /><span>Publication Date: October 4, 2011 <br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Wolf-Escape-Adolf-Hitler/dp/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$24.95</strike> <b>$14.66</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20">37 used & new</a> from <span>$14.66</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><B>DID HITLER--CODE NAME “GREY WOLF”--REALLY DIE IN 1945?</B><BR><B>GRIPPING NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED…</B> When Truman asked Stalin in 1945 whether Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, “No.” As late as 1952, Eisenhower declared: “We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler's death.” What really happened?<BR>Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams have compiled extensive evidence--some recently declassified--that Hitler actually fled Berlin and took refuge in a remote Nazi enclave in Argentina. The recent discovery that the famous “Hitler's skull” in Moscow is female, as well as newly uncovered documents, provide powerful proof for their case. Dunstan and Williams cite people, places, and dates in over 500 detailed notes that identify the plan's escape route, vehicles, aircraft, U-boats, and hideouts. Among the details: the CIA's possible involvement and Hitler's life in Patagonia--including his two daughters. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Wolf-Escape-Adolf-Hitler/dp/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Wolf-Escape-Adolf-Hitler/dp/1402781393?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-2682304242047097343?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-23504954550709062462011-10-15T15:02:00.001-07:002011-10-15T15:02:05.868-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Being-George-Washington-Indispensable-Youve/dp/1451659261?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51joHgHiA7L._SL160_.jpg" alt="Being George Washington" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Being-George-Washington-Indispensable-Youve/dp/1451659261?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Being George Washington: The Indispensable Man, as You've Never Seen Him</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Glenn-Beck/e/B001IQUMVM">Glenn Beck</a></span> <br /><span><em>Release Date: November 22, 2011</em><br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Being-George-Washington-Indispensable-Youve/dp/1451659261?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$26.00</strike> <b>$16.12</b> <br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p>As we head into the 2012 election, Glenn Beck takes a moment to contemplate the past and look to our Founding Fathers to find out what originally made this country great.

Madison helped to shape our country as perhaps no other Founder: collaborating on the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights, resisting government overreach by assembling one of the nation’s first political parties (the Republicans, who became today’s Democrats), and taking to the battlefield during the War of 1812, becoming the last president to lead troops in combat.<p> In this penetrating biography, eminent historian Richard Brookhiser presents a vivid portrait of the “Father of the Constitution,” an accomplished yet humble statesman who nourished Americans’ fledgling liberty and vigorously defended the laws that have preserved it to this day. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/James-Madison-Richard-Brookhiser/dp/0465019838?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/James-Madison-Richard-Brookhiser/dp/0465019838?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-9142883109092044736?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-68910508613549276612011-10-11T15:02:00.001-07:002011-10-11T15:02:32.650-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Disrupted-Carre-Story-ebook/dp/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E%2BWpjFUVL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Beauty, Disrupted" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Disrupted-Carre-Story-ebook/dp/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Beauty, Disrupted: The Carre Otis Story</a></span> <br /><span>Carre Otis <span>(Author)</span>, Hugo Schwyzer <span>(Author)</span></span> <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Disrupted-Carre-Story-ebook/dp/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Download:</a> <b>$12.99</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20">195 used & new</a> from <span>$9.99</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><p>Teen runaway, supermodel, and actress CarrÉ Otis found herself in the public eye from a very tender age.

The result is a narrative of success, despair, and ultimate triumph over sexual exploitation and our cultural obsession with appearance—a narrative of beauty disrupted, reclaimed, and made more radiant through self-acceptance, inner peace, and the love of family.</p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Disrupted-Carre-Story-ebook/dp/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Disrupted-Carre-Story-ebook/dp/B004PYDNE2?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-6891050861354927661?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-31047995448362286062011-10-09T23:02:00.001-07:002011-10-09T23:02:06.660-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Eisenhower-White-House-Jim-Newton/dp/038552353X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YZqiWIUdL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Eisenhower" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Eisenhower-White-House-Jim-Newton/dp/038552353X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Eisenhower: The White House Years</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Newton/e/B001JP83K4">Jim Newton</a></span> <br /><span>Release Date: October 4, 2011 <br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Eisenhower-White-House-Jim-Newton/dp/038552353X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$29.95</strike> <b>$17.41</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/038552353X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">57 used & new</a> from <span>$13.23</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><b>“Newton's contribution is as cogent an inventory of Eisenhower's White House years as I've ever read. He blends masterful writing with historic detail and provides the value-added of Ike as the man and the leader.”<br>—Chuck Hagel, Distinguished Professor, Georgetown University; U.S. Senator (1997<b>–</b>2009)<br><br>Newly discovered and declassified documents make for a surprising and revealing portrait of the president we thought we knew.<br></b><br>America’s thirty-fourth president was belittled by his critics as the babysitter-in-chief. This new look reveals how wrong they were. Dwight Eisenhower was bequeathed the atomic bomb and refused to use it. He ground down Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism until both became, as he said, "McCarthywasm." He stimulated the economy to lift it from recession, built an interstate highway system, turned an $8 billion deficit in 1953 into a $500 million surplus in 1960. (Ike was the last President until Bill Clinton to leave his country in the black.) <br><br>The President Eisenhower of popular imagination is a benign figure, armed with a putter<b>, </b>a winning smile, and little else. The Eisenhower of veteran journalist Jim Newton's rendering is shrewd, sentimental, and tempestuous. He mourned the death of his first son and doted on his grandchildren but could, one aide recalled, "peel the varnish off a desk" with his temper. Mocked as<b> </b>shallow and inarticulate, he was in fact a meticulous manager. Admired as a general, he was a champion of peace. In Korea and Vietnam, in Quemoy and Berlin, his generals urged him to wage nuclear war. Time and again he considered the idea and rejected it. And it was Eisenhower who appointed the liberal justices Earl Warren and William Brennan and who then called in the military to enforce desegregation in the schools.<br><br>Rare interviews, newly discovered records, and fresh insights undergird this gripping and timely narrative.<br><br><b>JIM NEWTON</b> is a veteran journalist who began his career as clerk to James Reston at the <i>New York Times</i>. Since then, he has worked as a reporter<b> </b>at the <i>Atlanta Constitution</i> and as a reporter, bureau chief and editor at the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, where he presently is the editor-at-large<b> </b>and author of a weekly column.

Heartfelt, passionate and slick.”— Kirkus, starred review<strong>Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010</strong>: Like its multi-hyphenate author, Jay-Z, <em>Decoded </em>is many things at once. At its core, <em>Decoded </em>is an eloquent and candid memoir detailing the story of a man who was born in a Brooklyn housing project, spent his teen years dealing drugs on the streets of Trenton, New Jersey, and grew up to be one of his generation’s most successful artists and businessmen. But <em>Decoded </em>is much more than a memoir: it is an intensely personal homage to hip-hop, as written by a man who so clearly adores the art form; it is a rare glimpse of the unexpectedly deep meanings behind the most recognizable rap lyrics of the last decade; and it is a truly moving collection of essays on topics ranging from Hurricane Katrina to the decline of the music industry. Unconventional type design, line drawings, and photographs visually emphasize the author’s message that rap is a form that transcends and defies easy categorization. There’s not much in the way of celebrity gossip here, but what we get, instead, is a gritty and enormously compelling look inside the cultural phenomenon of rap, from one of the men who contributed so much to its shape. <em>--Juliet Disparte</em> <span class="h1"><strong><br /><br />Jay-Z on <em>Decoded</em></strong></span> <p>When you're famous and say you're writing a book, people assume that it's an autobiography--I was born here, raised there, suffered this, loved that, lost it all, got it back, the end. But that's not what this is. I've never been a linear thinker, which is something you can see in my rhymes. They follow the jumpy logic of poetry and emotion, not the straight line of careful prose. My book is like that, too.</p> <p><em>Decoded</em> is first and foremost, a book of rhymes, which is ironic because I don't actually write my rhymes--they come to me in my head and I record them. The book is packed with the stories from my life that are the foundation of my lyrics--stories about coming up in the streets of Brooklyn in the 80's and 90's, stories about becoming an artist and entrepreneur and discovering worlds that I never dreamed existed when I was a kid. But it always comes back to the rhymes. There's poetry in hip-hop lyrics--not just mine, but in the work of all the great hip-hop artists, from KRS-One and Rakim to Biggie and Pac to a hundred emcees on a hundred corners all over the world that you've never heard of. The magic of rap is in the way it can take the most specific experience, from individual lives in unlikely places, and turn them into art that can be embraced by the whole world. <em>Decoded</em> is a book about one of those specific lives--mine--and will show you how the things I've experienced and observed have made their way into the art I've created. It's also about how my work is sometimes not about my life at all, but about pushing the boundaries of what I can express through the poetry of rap--trying to use words to find fresh angles into emotions that we all share, which is the hidden mission in even the hardest hip-hop. <em>Decoded</em> is a book about some of my favorite songs--songs that I unpack and explain and surround with narratives about what inspired them--but behind the rhymes is the truest story of my life.</p> <hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="noshade" size="1" /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Decoded-Jay-Z/dp/1400068924?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Decoded-Jay-Z/dp/1400068924?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-314642688335336778?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-9857793984056936252011-10-05T11:02:00.001-07:002011-10-05T11:02:44.608-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-So-Easy-other-lies/dp/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516FC1YbE0L._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="It's So Easy" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-So-Easy-other-lies/dp/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">It's So Easy: and other lies</a></span> <br /><span>by Duff McKagan</span> <br /><span>Release Date: October 4, 2011 <br /></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-So-Easy-other-lies/dp/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$26.00</strike> <b>$15.78</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">32 used & new</a> from <span>$12.44</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p>A founding member of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver shares the story of his rise to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, and his phoenix-like transformation via a unique path to sobriety. <P>In 1984, at the age of twenty, Duff McKagan left his native Seattle—partly to pursue music but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In L.A. only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as “Slash.” Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns N’ Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide. <P>In <I>It's So Easy</I>, Duff recounts GN’R’s unlikely trajectory to a string of multiplatinum albums, sold-out stadium concerts, and global acclaim. But that kind of glory can take its toll, and it did—ultimately—on Duff, as well as on the band itself. As GN’R began to splinter, Duff felt that he himself was done, too. But his near death as a direct result of alcoholism proved to be his watershed, the turning point that led to his unique path to sobriety and the unexpected choices he has made for himself since. In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duff—one of rock’s smartest and most articulate personalities—takes readers on his harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock-and-roll history and out the other side. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-So-Easy-other-lies/dp/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-So-Easy-other-lies/dp/145160663X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-985779398405693625?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-17643189949379911012011-10-05T07:02:00.001-07:002011-10-05T07:02:36.919-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/River-Doubt-Theodore-Roosevelts-Darkest/dp/0767913736?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OHgjzcqIL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="The River of Doubt" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/River-Doubt-Theodore-Roosevelts-Darkest/dp/0767913736?tag=bestgooseberry-20">The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Candice-Millard/e/B001ILFMH6">Candice Millard</a></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-5._V192261415_.gif" width="64" alt="4.6 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(305)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/River-Doubt-Theodore-Roosevelts-Darkest/dp/0767913736?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$15.00</strike> <b>$10.20</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0767913736?tag=bestgooseberry-20">162 used & new</a> from <span>$4.18</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/most-wished-for/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Most Wished For in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><b>At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, <i>The River of Doubt</i> is the true story of Theodore Roosevelt’s harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth.</b><br><br>The River of Doubt—it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world.

A passion to make a difference. Katie Davis left over Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people and children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. She has given up a relatively comfortable life—at a young age—to care for the less fortunate of this world. She was so moved by the need she witnessed, she's centered her life around meeting that need. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of <I>adopting</I> 13 children in Uganda, and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family. <P>Despite the rough conditions in which Katie lives, she has found a life of service to God to be one of great joy. Katie's children bring constant delight and help her help others by welcoming whoever comes to their door. As the challenges grow, so does Katie's faith and her certainty that what she's doing in Uganda, one person at a time, will have far-reaching rewards. It isn't the life she planned, but it is the life she loves.<P>To further her reach into the needs of Ugandans, Katie established Amazima Ministries. The ministry matches orphaned children with sponors worldwide. Each sponsor's $300/year provides schooling, school supplies, three hot meals a day, minor medical care, and spiritual encouragement. Katie expected to have forty children in the program; she had signed up 150 by January 2008; today it sponsors over 400. Another aspect of the ministry is a feeding program created for the displaced Karamojong people—Uganda's poorest citizens.

When he debates, he wins. <P>If you care about the future of America, you have heard of the down-to-earth political newcomer running for president, the straight-talking man of the people with blunt assessments of what America needs. Originally overlooked by mainstream politicos and media, Herman Cain is truly a candidate from “outside the Beltway,” but no longer one who is being ignored. <P>BUT WHO IS HE? <P>While Herman Cain has been the host of a popular conservative Atlanta-area radio talk show called <I>The Herman Cain Show</I>, a different name originally captured American interest. As CEO, Herman Cain transformed Godfather’s Pizza from a company teetering on the verge of bankruptcy into a household word. Cain—as those with an interest in commonsense solutions to political problems will remember—is also famous for using the language and logic of everyday business to expose the fallacies inherent in Clinton assumptions about “Hillarycare” during a 1994 televised town hall meeting. <P>WHAT IS HIS STORY? <P>Herman Cain’s rise is the embodiment of the American dream. His parents, Luther and Lenora Cain, made a living the only way black people could in the ’40s and ’50s. Luther held down three jobs, including being a chauffeur; Lenora cleaned houses. They had two big dreams: to buy a house and to see their sons graduate from college. With dedication and hard work, they made both these dreams come true. In this thrilling memoir, Herman Cain describes his past and present . . . and the future he is determined to create, a future that will put our country back on track. His message resonates because he describes the American reality, and his down-to-earth personal tale of hope and hard work is both unforgettable and inspirational. <P>*** <P>What is it in my DNA that years ago prompted me to forgo the ease of cruise control and take on the enormous challenge of doing my part toward making America a better place for my granddaughter and the generations to come? <P>Why do I, a son of the segregated South, refuse to think of myself as a “victim” of racism? <P>What is it that motivates me to insist on defining my identity in terms of “ABC”—as being American first, black second, and Conservative third? <P>Just who is Herman Cain? And how did I get this way? <P>Just a hint: it may have had something to do with lessons learned from my parents, Lenora and Luther Cain, Jr. <P>—From This Is Herman <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/This-Herman-Cain-Journey-White/dp/1451666136?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/This-Herman-Cain-Journey-White/dp/1451666136?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-6720585619026603805?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-29522535688225735072011-09-26T19:02:00.001-07:002011-09-26T19:02:06.498-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Times-Three-Polygamous-ebook/dp/B004S32R4M?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51--MxNv3aL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Love Times Three" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Times-Three-Polygamous-ebook/dp/B004S32R4M?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Love Times Three: Our True Story of a Polygamous Marriage</a></span> <br /><span>Brooke Adams <span>(Author)</span>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Joe-Darger/e/B0055DUI04">Joe Darger</a> <span>(Author)</span>, Alina Darger <span>(Author)</span>, Vicki Darger <span>(Author)</span>, Valerie Darger <span>(Author)</span></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-0._V192261413_.gif" width="64" alt="4.0 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(13)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Times-Three-Polygamous-ebook/dp/B004S32R4M?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Download:</a> <b>$12.99</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004S32R4M?tag=bestgooseberry-20">191 used & new</a> from <span>$9.99</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><p>He runs his own business and coaches Little League.

Yet much of what we know about Mary Boleyn has been fostered through garbled gossip, romantic fiction, and the misconceptions repeated by historians. Now, in her latest book, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author and noted British historian Alison Weir gives us the first ever full-scale, in-depth biography of Henry VIII’s famous mistress, in which Weir explodes much of the mythology that surrounds Mary Boleyn and uncovers the truth about one of the most misunderstood figures of the Tudor age.  <br> <br>With the same brand of extensive forensic research she brought to her acclaimed book <i>The Lady in the Tower, </i>Weir facilitates here a new portrayal of her subjects, revealing how Mary was treated by her ambitious family and the likely nature of the relationship between the Boleyn sisters. She also posits new evidence regarding the reputation of Mary’s mother, Elizabeth Howard, who was rumored to have been an early mistress of Henry VIII.<br> <br>Weir unravels the truth about Mary’s much-vaunted notoriety at the French court and her relations with King François I. She offers plausible theories as to what happened to Mary during the undocumented years of her life, and shows that, far from marrying an insignificant and complacent nonentity, she made a brilliant match with a young man who was the King’s cousin and a rising star at court. <br> <br>Weir also explores Mary’s own position and role at the English court, and how she became Henry VIII’s mistress. She tracks the probable course of their affair and investigates Mary’s real reputation. With new and compelling evidence, Weir presents the most conclusive answer to date on the paternity of Mary’s children, long speculated to have been Henry VIII’s progeny.<br> <br>Alison Weir has drawn fascinating information from the original sources of the period to piece together a life steeped in mystery and misfortune, debunking centuries-old myths and disproving accepted assertions, to give us the truth about Mary Boleyn, the so-called great and infamous whore. <SPAN class=h3color><b>A Letter from the Author: Mary Boleyn on Film</b></SPAN> <br/> <TABLE cellPadding=4 width="150" align="left"> <TBODY> <TR align=left width="150"> <TD> <IMG src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle/merch/rh/a/Alison-Weir-photo._V155064231_.jpg" border=0> </TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> Mary Boleyn has been portrayed several times on screen. In <i>Anne of the Thousand Days</i> (1969), Valerie Gearon plays her as the dark-haired, ‘pliant eldest daughter’ of Thomas Boleyn. Henry VIII’s affair with her is dated to 1523; Anne Boleyn complains: ‘We have had the King in the bosom of this family for three years!’ When next we see Mary, she has been banished to Hever and is pregnant with Henry’s child. Sir Thomas tells her she must make no trouble about being abandoned, to avoid putting her family at risk. <p/> Mary warns her sister: ‘Learn from me, Nan. Lock up your heart.’ She has clearly lost her own heart: when the King visits, she sits weeping alone. It is inevitable that film makers make dramatic capital from the scenario of one sister snaring the King who has abandoned the other. <p/> Watching the film today, one is struck by its integrity and the efforts made to achieve a degree of accuracy, which are markedly absent from some modern historical films. <p/> Clare Cameron made a cameo appearance as Mary in <i>Henry VIII</i> (2003). When the King (Ray Winstone) descends on Hever to court Anne, Mary is big with a child he doubts is his--and faints at the sight of him. This is one of many gratuitous scenes in the series. The pregnant Mary is about to be married to ‘a provincial book-keeper’. Later, bending the historical chronology, Henry says he will grant Mary lands, a title and a good marriage; and he titles her father Earl of Essex (his title was in fact Earl of Wiltshire!) <p/> In 2003, the BBC filmed Philippa Gregory’s novel, <i>The Other Boleyn Girl</i>. Henry VIII’s interest in Mary (Natasha McElhone) is dated to to 1524, and Katherine of Aragon (why is she always shown as black-haired in films?) is improbably aware of the affair. Mary is manoeuvred by her family into becoming the King’s mistress, but she loves her husband, William Carey, and only reluctantly succumbs. But as their intimacy deepens, she comes to favour Henry, and a rift opens between her and Carey. <p/> William Stafford, who will become Mary’s second husband, appears early on in the unlikely guise of a servant of the Boleyns, when he would have been about twelve years old! <p/> Mary becomes pregnant in 1525. Her father is worried that the King will stray while she is unavailable to him, so he pushes Anne into Henry’s path. Inevitably, Henry falls for Anne. Mary is shown being confined as a queen, taking to a darkened chamber in readiness for the birth. Henry VIII was discreet in his illicit amours, and these ordinances were laid down only for the Queen, so this is just pure silliness. <p/> Mary gives birth to a son, but the Duke of Norfolk tells her that the King no longer desires her because he wants her sister. Only Stafford is there to support her. <p/> Mary is forced to wait on Anne, whom she now hates, and to witness her flirting with Henry. Carey tells her to forget the King, and forces himself on her, fathering a daughter. But the chronology is skewed, as is the likely paternity of the children. Carey dies after Anne becomes queen in 1533 (in reality, he died in 1528). When Anne tries to wed Mary to the fictional Lord Farnley, she marries Stafford in secret. When she confesses, she is banished for disgracing the family. <p/> Mary is then seen suggesting that Anne lie secretly with another man in order to conceive a son, when in reality, she was likely in Calais during Anne’s fall. In the series, it is she who asks their brother George, ‘Could you lie with her?’ Later, she comforts Anne for the loss of the son George has incestuously fathered, and after Anne’s arrest, she attends her in the Tower. <p/> There is no sense of politics in the film, as in the movie, <i>The Other Boleyn Girl</i> (2008), starring Scarlett Johansson as a rather vacuous Mary. The costumes are often anachronistic and the chronology shaky. The story is told on a superficial level, and follows a similar plot to the TV movie. At the end, Mary is seen watching Anne’s execution; but the real Anne did not weep on the scaffold. The most far-fetched scene is where Mary rides back to court afterwards and snatches Anne’s daughter Elizabeth, carrying her off to be reared with her own children in the country. <p/> In the TV series <i>The Tudors</i> (2007-2010), Mary Boleyn (Perdita Weeks) appears in six episodes. From the moment you see the eighteenth-century coach in the opening shots of the series, you know that historical integrity is going to be an issue. Hopeless chronology, dated costumes and unforgivable factual errors spoil a series that is often well acted by a strong cast. <i>The Tudors</i> inhabits a world of its own: only occasionally do you get a sense of Tudor England. Many of the female characters, like Mary, look like modern fashion models with breast implants and teased hair. <p/> We see the King of France pointing out Mary to Henry VIII at the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520. When Henry later asks Mary what French graces she has learned, she offers him oral sex. Later, we see Mary waiting on her sister Anne and visiting Calais with the royal party. Anne and Mary are depicted as being very close and affectionate, which may not have been the case in real life. In the show it is Mary (not even recorded as being present) who carries the Princess Elizabeth to her christening. Later on a heavily pregnant Mary--had Anne not already noticed?--confesses that she has married Stafford secretly, and the Boleyns banish her from court. <p/> Mary Boleyn is misrepresented in popular culture because of such films. It concerns me that the demarcation line between historical fact and fiction has now become blurred. Why would one ever want to change history? The truth, as Byron famously said, ‘is stranger than fiction’. <p/> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Mary-Boleyn-Mistress-Alison-Weir/dp/0345521331?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Mary-Boleyn-Mistress-Alison-Weir/dp/0345521331?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-7046520383998145968?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-91629697144370751852011-09-23T03:02:00.001-07:002011-09-23T03:02:13.141-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Bonhoeffer-Pastor-Martyr-Prophet-ebook/dp/B003GY0K48?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Vpkgib7EL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Bonhoeffer" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Bonhoeffer-Pastor-Martyr-Prophet-ebook/dp/B003GY0K48?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy</a></span> <br /><span>Eric Metaxas <span>(Author)</span>, Timothy J.

In 1969, her father, Robert Nichols, moved to Sellerstown, North Carolina, to serve as a pastor. There he found a small community eager to welcome him—with one exception. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church. Determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way, he unleashed a plan of terror that was more devastating and violent than the Nichols family could have ever imagined. Refusing to be driven away by acts of intimidation, Rebecca’s father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the family’s kitchen . . . And Rebecca’s life was shattered. If anyone had a reason to harbor hatred and seek personal revenge, it would be Rebecca. Yet <i>The Devil in Pew Number Seven</i> tells a different story. It is the amazing true saga of relentless persecution, one family’s faith and courage in the face of it, and a daughter whose parents taught her the power of forgiveness. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Devil-Pew-Number-Seven/dp/1414326599?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Devil-Pew-Number-Seven/dp/1414326599?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-6309157325176008300?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-85461914801642015502011-09-21T11:02:00.001-07:002011-09-21T11:02:06.149-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deer-in-the-Headlights-ebook/dp/B004YLQ9UQ?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51joZwIgPcL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Deer in" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deer-in-the-Headlights-ebook/dp/B004YLQ9UQ?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Deer in the Headlights</a></span> <br /><span>Levi Johnston <span>(Author)</span></span> <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deer-in-the-Headlights-ebook/dp/B004YLQ9UQ?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Download:</a> <b>$11.99</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004YLQ9UQ?tag=bestgooseberry-20">171 used & new</a> from <span>$9.99</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Hot New Releases in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><B>Best known as Bristol Palin’s baby daddy and Sarah Palin’s favorite whipping boy, Levi Johnston sets out to clear his name and—with any luck—end his run as Alaska’s most hated man.</B>  <P>Promising hockey player and Governor Palin’s almost son-in-law, Levi Johnston was eighteen when Palin became the vice presidential nominee.

Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. <br><br>But the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what hap­pened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in tur­moil. The unhinged assassin’s half-delivered strike shattered the fragile national mood of a country so recently fractured by civil war, and left the wounded president as the object of a bitter behind-the-scenes struggle for power—over his administration, over the nation’s future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care. A team of physicians administered shockingly archaic treatments, to disastrous effect. As his con­dition worsened, Garfield received help: Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, worked around the clock to invent a new device capable of finding the bullet. <br><br>Meticulously researched, epic in scope, and pulsating with an intimate human focus and high-velocity narrative drive, <i>The Destiny of the Republic</i> will stand alongside <i>The Devil in the White City</i> and <i>The Professor and the Madman</i> as a classic of narrative history. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Republic-Madness-Medicine-President/dp/0385526261?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Republic-Madness-Medicine-President/dp/0385526261?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-3433223205251076751?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-3188104630977881102011-09-21T03:02:00.001-07:002011-09-21T03:02:05.027-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Through-My-Eyes-Tim-Tebow/dp/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K8HODJv-L._SL160_.jpg" alt="Through My" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Through-My-Eyes-Tim-Tebow/dp/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Through My Eyes</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Tim-Tebow/e/B005JVAQRC">Tim Tebow</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Whitaker/e/B001JS370W">Nathan Whitaker</a></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-5._V192261415_.gif" width="64" alt="4.5 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(88)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Through-My-Eyes-Tim-Tebow/dp/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$26.99</strike> <b>$16.48</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20">76 used & new</a> from <span>$10.49</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/most-gifted/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Most Gifted in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><p> Over the course of the last five years, Tim Tebow established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of college football and a top prospect in the NFL. During that time he amassed an unparalleled resume—winning two BCS national championships, becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history to win the Heisman trophy, and in the face of massive public scrutiny, being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. </p> <p> Now, in <i>Through My Eyes</i>, Tebow brings readers everywhere an inspirational memoir about life as he chose to live it, revealing how his faith and family values, combined with his relentless will to succeed, have molded him into the person that he is today. As the son of Christian missionaries, Tebow has a unique story to tell—from the circumstances of his birth, to his home-schooled roots, to his record-setting collegiate football career with the Florida Gators and everything else that took place in between. </p> <p> At every step, Tebow's life has defied convention and expectation. While aspects of his life have been well-documented, the stories have always been filtered through the opinions and words of others. <i>Through My Eyes</i> is his passionate, firsthand, never-before-told account of how it all really happened. </p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Through-My-Eyes-Tim-Tebow/dp/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Through-My-Eyes-Tim-Tebow/dp/0062007289?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-318810463097788110?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-27567312516913728702011-09-20T23:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T23:02:05.874-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Here-Comes-Trouble-Stories-Life/dp/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UN%2B5OhDQL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="Here Comes Trouble" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Here-Comes-Trouble-Stories-Life/dp/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Moore/e/B000AP7S5U">Michael Moore</a></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-5._V192261415_.gif" width="64" alt="4.5 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(19)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Here-Comes-Trouble-Stories-Life/dp/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$26.99</strike> <b>$15.05</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20">63 used & new</a> from <span>$12.10</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/most-gifted/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Most Gifted in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><p>"I had an unusually large-sized head, though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest. The craniums in our part of the country were designed to leave a little extra room for the brain to grow in case one day we found ourselves exposed to something we didn't understand, like a foreign language, or a salad."</p> <p>Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, the nation's unofficial provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new role, that of his own meta-<i>Forrest Gump</i>.</p> <p>Breaking the autobiographical mode, he presents twenty-four far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an eleven-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world by uttering the words "We live in fictitious times... with a fictitious president" in place of the expected "I'd like to thank the Academy."</p> <p>And none of that even comes close to the night the friendly priest at the seminary decides to show him how to perform his own exorcism.</p> <p>Capturing the zeitgeist of the past fifty years, yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, HERE COMES TROUBLE takes readers on an unforgettable, take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore. No one will come away from this book without a sense of surprise about the Michael Moore most of us didn't know. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, it's a book he has been writing-and living-his entire life.</p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Here-Comes-Trouble-Stories-Life/dp/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Here-Comes-Trouble-Stories-Life/dp/044653224X?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-2756731251691372870?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-24537906179054826772011-09-20T19:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T19:02:06.036-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacqueline-Kennedy-Historic-Conversations-Life/dp/1401324258?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TCNXpUfpL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Jacqueline Kennedy" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacqueline-Kennedy-Historic-Conversations-Life/dp/1401324258?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F.

Kennedy. Now, for the first time, they can be heard and read in this deluxe, illustrated book and 8-CD set.</b></p> <P>Shortly after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with a nation deep in mourning and the world looking on in stunned disbelief, Jacqueline Kennedy found the strength to set aside her own personal grief for the sake of posterity and begin the task of documenting and preserving her husband's legacy. In January of 1964, she and Robert F. Kennedy approved a planned oral-history project that would capture their first-hand accounts of the late President as well as the recollections of those closest to him throughout his extraordinary political career. For the rest of her life, the famously private Jacqueline Kennedy steadfastly refused to discuss her memories of those years, but beginning that March, she fulfilled her obligation to future generations of Americans by sitting down with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and recording an astonishingly detailed and unvarnished account of her experiences and impressions as the wife and confidante of John F. Kennedy. The tapes of those sessions were then sealed and later deposited in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum upon its completion, in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy's wishes.</p> <P>The resulting eight and a half hours of material comprises a unique and compelling record of a tumultuous era, providing fresh insights on the many significant people and events that shaped JFK's presidency but also shedding new light on the man behind the momentous decisions. Here are JFK's unscripted opinions on a host of revealing subjects, including his thoughts and feelings about his brothers Robert and Ted, and his take on world leaders past and present, giving us perhaps the most informed, genuine, and immediate portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy we shall ever have. Mrs. Kennedy's urbane perspective, her candor, and her flashes of wit also give us our clearest glimpse into the active mind of a remarkable First Lady.</p> <P>In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's Inauguration, Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy family are now releasing these beautifully restored recordings on CDs with accompanying transcripts. Introduced and annotated by renowned presidential historian Michael Beschloss, these interviews will add an exciting new dimension to our understanding and appreciation of President Kennedy and his time and make the past come alive through the words and voice of an eloquent eyewitness to history.</p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacqueline-Kennedy-Historic-Conversations-Life/dp/1401324258?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacqueline-Kennedy-Historic-Conversations-Life/dp/1401324258?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-2453790617905482677?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-87245709636138072022011-09-20T15:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T15:02:09.220-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Searching-Sarah-Palin-ebook/dp/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51dn74QaSXL._SL160_.jpg" alt="The Rogue" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Searching-Sarah-Palin-ebook/dp/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20">The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin</a></span> <br /><span>Joe McGinniss (Author)</span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-5-0._V192261437_.gif" width="64" alt="4.8 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(5)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Searching-Sarah-Palin-ebook/dp/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Download:</a> <b>$12.99</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20">192 used & new</a> from <span>$9.99</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Leaders-Notable-People-Biographies/zgbs/books/2396">Best Sellers in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><p>rogue (r¯og), n: An elephant that has separated from a herd and roams about alone,in which state it is very savage.—<i>Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary<br /></i> <br />After three years of research, bestselling journalist Joe McGinniss presents his already controversial and much anticipated investigative chronicle of Sarah Palin as an individual, politician, and cultural phenomenon.<br /> <br />In his critically acclaimed book about Alaska, <i>Going to Extremes</i>, the fledgling state itself was Joe McGinniss’s subject. Although he didn’t hesitate to reveal the many flaws and contradictions behind its “last frontier” image, McGinniss fell in love with the land and its people. More than three decades later, he returned to Alaska in search of its most famous resident, Sarah Palin. <br /><br />On Election Day 2008, McGinniss began his on-the-ground reporting that culminated, famously, in his moving next door to Sarah Palin in spring 2010. THE ROGUE is the eagerly awaited result of his research and writing: a startling study of the illusion and reality of Sarah Palin—and a probing look at the Alaska and the America that produced her. Sometimes funny, sometimes frightening, always provocative and illuminating, THE ROGUE answers the questions “Who is she, really?,” “How did she happen?,” and “Will she ever go away?”<br /><br />In all of his books, McGinniss has scrutinized the mysterious space between image and reality—how that space is created, negotiated, and/or manipulated. Now, with The Rogue, McGinniss combines his deep appreciation of the place Sarah Palin comes from with his uncanny ability to penetrate the façades of people in public life.

More than three decades later, he returned to Alaska in search of its most famous resident, Sarah Palin. <br /><br />On Election Day 2008, McGinniss began his on-the-ground reporting that culminated, famously, in his moving next door to Sarah Palin in spring 2010. THE ROGUE is the eagerly awaited result of his research and writing: a startling study of the illusion and reality of Sarah Palin—and a probing look at the Alaska and the America that produced her. Sometimes funny, sometimes frightening, always provocative and illuminating, THE ROGUE answers the questions “Who is she, really?,” “How did she happen?,” and “Will she ever go away?”<br /><br />In all of his books, McGinniss has scrutinized the mysterious space between image and reality—how that space is created, negotiated, and/or manipulated. Now, with The Rogue, McGinniss combines his deep appreciation of the place Sarah Palin comes from with his uncanny ability to penetrate the façades of people in public life. The result is an extraordinary double narrative that alternately traces Palin’s curious rise to political prominence and worldwide celebrity status and recounts the author’s day-to-day experiences as he uncovers the messy reality beneath the glossy Palin myth. <br /><br />Readers will find THE ROGUE at once bitingly insightful, hilarious, and profoundly ominous in what it reveals—not just about the dark underpinnings of a potential presidential nominee but also in regard to the huge numbers of Americans who passionately support her.</p><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Searching-Sarah-Palin-ebook/dp/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Searching-Sarah-Palin-ebook/dp/B004J4WNIA?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-8724570963613807202?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-48368838692130125402011-09-20T11:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T11:02:30.867-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Time-Personal-Political-Memoir/dp/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-LoGDlaKL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="In My Time" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Time-Personal-Political-Memoir/dp/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20">In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir</a></span> <br /><span>by Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney</span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-3-5._V192261419_.gif" width="64" alt="3.3 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(115)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Time-Personal-Political-Memoir/dp/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$35.00</strike> <b>$19.20</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20">93 used & new</a> from <span>$12.95</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/most-gifted/books/2396?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Most Gifted in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p><P>In this eagerly anticipated memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers an unyielding portrait of American politics over nearly forty years and shares personal reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country.<P>The public perception of Dick Cheney has long been something of a contradiction. He has been viewed as one of the most powerful vice presidents-secretive, even mysterious, and at the same time opinionated and unflinchingly outspoken. He has been both praised and attacked by his peers, the press, and the public. Through it all, courting only the ideals that define him, he has remained true to himself, his principles, his family, and his country. Now in an enlightening and provocative memoir, a stately page-turner with flashes of surprising humor and remarkable candor, Dick Cheney takes readers through his experiences as family man, policymaker, businessman, and politician during years that shaped our collective history.<P>Born into a family of New Deal Democrats in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney was the son of a father at war and a high-spirited and resilient mother. He came of age in Casper, Wyoming, playing baseball and football and, as senior class president, courting homecoming queen Lynne Vincent, whom he later married. This all-American story took an abrupt turn when he flunked out of Yale University, signed on to build power line in the West, and started living as hard as he worked. Cheney tells the story of how he got himself back on track and began an extraordinary ascent to the heights of American public life, where he would remain for nearly four decades: <P> * He was the youngest White House Chief of Staff, working for President Gerald Ford--the first of four chief executives he would come to know well. <P> * He became Congressman from Wyoming and was soon a member of the congressional leadership working closely with President Ronald Reagan. <P> * He became secretary of defense in the George H. W. Bush administration, overseeing America's military during Operation Desert Storm and in the historic transition at the end of the Cold War. <P> * He was CEO of Halliburton, a Fortune 500 company with projects and personnel around the globe. <P> * He became the first vice president of the United States to serve out his term of office in the twenty-first century. Working with George W. Bush from the beginning of the global war on terror, he was--and remains--an outspoken defender of taking every step necessary to defend the nation. <P> Eyewitness to history at the highest levels, Cheney brings to life scenes from past and present. He describes driving through the White House gates on August 9, 1974, just hours after Richard Nixon resigned, to begin work on the Ford transition; and he portrays a time of national crisis a quarter century later when, on September 11, 2001, he was in the White House bunker and conveyed orders to shoot down a hijacked airliner if it would not divert With its unique perspective on a remarkable span of American history, <I>In My Time</I> will enlighten. As an intimate and personal chronicle, it will surprise, move, and inspire. Dick Cheney's is an enduring political vision to be reckoned with and admired for its honesty, its wisdom, and its resonance. <I>In My Time</I> is truly the last word about an incredible political era, by a man who lived it and helped define it--with courage and without compromise. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Time-Personal-Political-Memoir/dp/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Time-Personal-Political-Memoir/dp/1439176191?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-4836883869213012540?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-55427109083100378052011-09-20T07:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T07:02:24.814-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BsGJZ989L._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg" alt="Unbroken" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption</a></span> <br /><span>by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Laura-Hillenbrand/e/B000APTZYM">Laura Hillenbrand</a></span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-4-5._V192261415_.gif" width="64" alt="4.7 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(1700)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Buy new:</a> <strike>$27.00</strike> <b>$13.49</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20">260 used & new</a> from <span>$10.00</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Leaders-Notable-People-Biographies/zgbs/books/2396">Best Sellers in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p>On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood.  Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.  It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard.  So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.<br><br>The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini.  In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails.  As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile.  But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.<br><br>Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater.  Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion.  His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.<br><br>In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in <i>Seabiscuit</i>.  Telling an unforgettable story of a man’s journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.<strong>Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010</strong>: From Laura Hillenbrand, the bestselling author of <em>Seabiscuit</em>, comes <em>Unbroken</em>, the inspiring true story of a man who lived through a series of catastrophes almost too incredible to be believed. In evocative, immediate descriptions, Hillenbrand unfurls the story of Louie Zamperini--a juvenile delinquent-turned-Olympic runner-turned-Army hero. During a routine search mission over the Pacific, Louie’s plane crashed into the ocean, and what happened to him over the next three years of his life is a story that will keep you glued to the pages, eagerly awaiting the next turn in the story and fearing it at the same time. You’ll cheer for the man who somehow maintained his selfhood and humanity despite the monumental degradations he suffered, and you’ll want to share this book with everyone you know.<em> --Juliet Disparte</em> <p><span class="h1"><strong>The Story of <em>Unbroken</em> by Laura Hillenbrand</strong></span></p> <p>Eight years ago, an old man told me a story that took my breath away. His name was Louie Zamperini, and from the day I first spoke to him, his almost incomprehensibly dramatic life was my obsession.</p> <p>It was a horse--the subject of my first book, <em>Seabiscuit: An American Legend</em>--who led me to Louie. As I researched the Depression-era racehorse, I kept coming across stories about Louie, a 1930s track star who endured an amazing odyssey in World War II. I knew only a little about him then, but I couldn’t shake him from my mind. After I finished <em>Seabiscuit</em>, I tracked Louie down, called him and asked about his life. For the next hour, he had me transfixed.</p> <p>Growing up in California in the 1920s, Louie was a hellraiser, stealing everything edible that he could carry, staging elaborate pranks, getting in fistfights, and bedeviling the local police. But as a teenager, he emerged as one of the greatest runners America had ever seen, competing at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he put on a sensational performance, crossed paths with Hitler, and stole a German flag right off the Reich Chancellery. He was preparing for the 1940 Olympics, and closing in on the fabled four-minute mile, when World War II began. Louie joined the Army Air Corps, becoming a bombardier. Stationed on Oahu, he survived harrowing combat, including an epic air battle that ended when his plane crash-landed, some six hundred holes in its fuselage and half the crew seriously wounded.</p> <p>On a May afternoon in 1943, Louie took off on a search mission for a lost plane. Somewhere over the Pacific, the engines on his bomber failed. The plane plummeted into the sea, leaving Louie and two other men stranded on a tiny raft. Drifting for weeks and thousands of miles, they endured starvation and desperate thirst, sharks that leapt aboard the raft, trying to drag them off, a machine-gun attack from a Japanese bomber, and a typhoon with waves some forty feet high. At last, they spotted an island. As they rowed toward it, unbeknownst to them, a Japanese military boat was lurking nearby. Louie’s journey had only just begun.</p> <p>That first conversation with Louie was a pivot point in my life. Fascinated by his experiences, and the mystery of how a man could overcome so much, I began a seven-year journey through his story. I found it in diaries, letters and unpublished memoirs; in the memories of his family and friends, fellow Olympians, former American airmen and Japanese veterans; in forgotten papers in archives as far-flung as Oslo and Canberra. Along the way, there were staggering surprises, and Louie’s unlikely, inspiring story came alive for me. It is a tale of daring, defiance, persistence, ingenuity, and the ferocious will of a man who refused to be broken.</p> <p>The culmination of my journey is my new book, <em>Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption</em>. I hope you are as spellbound by Louie’s life as I am.</p> <hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="noshade" size="1" /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-5542710908310037805?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304703727794496144.post-68994027563592855652011-09-20T03:02:00.001-07:002011-09-20T03:02:05.895-07:00<div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/In-My-Time-ebook/dp/B004KNWTPW?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-LoGDlaKL._SL160_.jpg" alt="In My" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></a></div><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/In-My-Time-ebook/dp/B004KNWTPW?tag=bestgooseberry-20">In My Time</a></span> <br /><span>Dick Cheney (Author), Liz Cheney (Author, Contributor)</span> <br /> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/detail/stars-3-5._V192261419_.gif" width="64" alt="3.3 out of 5 stars" align="absbottom" height="12" border="0" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;" />(112)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/In-My-Time-ebook/dp/B004KNWTPW?tag=bestgooseberry-20">Download:</a> <b>$14.99</b> <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004KNWTPW?tag=bestgooseberry-20">172 used & new</a> from <span>$9.99</span><br /><br />(Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Leaders-Notable-People-Biographies/zgbs/books/2396">Best Sellers in Leaders & Notable People</a> list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)<h3>Review & Description</h3><p>In this eagerly anticipated memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers an unyielding portrait of American politics over nearly forty years and shares personal reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country.<P>The public perception of Dick Cheney has long been something of a contradiction.

When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six, the navy's equivalent to the army's Delta Force—tasked with counterterrorism and counterinsurgency, occasionally working with the CIA. This is the first time a SEAL Team Six sniper's story has been exposed. My story.</p> <p>Snipers avoid exposure. Although we prefer to act rather than be acted upon, some forces are beyond our control. We rely on our strengths to exploit the enemy's vulnerabilities; however, during the war in the Persian Gulf I became vulnerable as the lone person on the fantail of an enemy ship filled with a crew working for Saddam Hussein. On yet another occasion, despite being a master of cover and concealment, I lay naked on an aircraft runway in a Third World country with bullet holes in both legs, the right leg nearly blown off by an AK-47 bullet. Sometimes we must face what we try to avoid.</p> <p>* * *</p> <p>In the morning darkness of September 18, 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia, Casanova and I crept over the ledge of a retaining wall and climbed to the top of a six-story tower. Even at this early hour there were already people moving around. Men, women, and children relieved themselves in the streets. I smelled the morning fires being lit, fueled by dried animal dung and whatever else people could find to burn. The fires heated any food the Somalis had managed to obtain. Warlord Aidid knew fully the power of controlling the food supply. Every time I saw a starving child, I blamed Aidid for his evil power play that facilitated this devastation of life.</p> <p>The tower we were on was located in the middle of the Pakistani compound. The Pakistanis were professional and treated us with great respect. When it was teatime, the boy in charge of serving always brought us a cup. I had even developed a taste for the fresh goat milk they used in the tea. The sounds and scents of the goatherd in the compound reached my senses as Casanova and I crawled onto the outer lip at the top of the tower. There we lay prone, watching a large garage, a vehicle body shop that had no roof. Surrounding the garage was a city of despair. Somalis trudged along with their heads and shoulders lowered. Helplessness dimmed their faces, and starvation pulled the skin tight across their bones. Because this was a "better" part of town, multilevel buildings stood in fairly good repair. There were concrete block houses instead of the tin and wooden lean-to sheds that dominated most of the city and countryside. Nevertheless, the smell of human waste and death—mixed with hopelessness—filled the air. Yes, hopelessness has a smell. People use the term "developing countries," but that is bullcrap. What developed in Somalia was things such as hunger and fighting. I think "developing countries" is just a term used to make the people who coined it feel better. No matter what you call them, starvation and war are two of the worst events imaginable.</p> <p>I calculated the exact distances to certain buildings. There are two primary considerations when making a sniper shot, windage and elevation. Because there was no significant wind that could throw my shot left or right, I didn't have to compensate for it. Elevation is the variable considered for range/distance to the target. Since most of my potential targets were between 200 yards (garage) and 650 yards (intersection beyond the target garage), I dialed my scope in at 500 yards. This way I could just hold my rifle higher or lower depending on range. When the shooting began, there would be no time to dial in range corrections on my scope between shots.</p> <p>We started our surveillance at 0600. While we waited for our agent to give us the signal, I played different scenarios over in my mind: one enemy popping out at one location, then another popping up at another location, and so on. I would acquire, aim, and even do a simulated trigger pull, going through my rehearsed breathing and follow-through routine while picturing the actual engagement. Then I simulated reloading and getting back into my Leupold 10-power scope, continuing to scan for more booger-eaters. I had done this dry firing and actual firing thousands of times—wet, dry, muddy, snowbound, from a dug-in hole in the ground, from an urban sniper hide through a partially open window, and nearly every which way imaginable. The words they had drilled into our heads since we began SEAL training were true, "The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war." This particular day, I was charged with making sure none of my Delta Force buddies sprang a leak as I covered their insertion into the garage. My buddies' not bleeding in war was every bit as important as my not bleeding.</p> <p>Our target for this mission was Osman Ali Atto—Warlord Aidid's main financier. Although Casanova and I would've been able to recognize the target from our previous surveillance, we were required to have confirmation of his identity from the CIA asset before we gave the launch command.</p> <p>The irony wasn't lost on me that we were capturing Atto instead of killing him—despite the fact that he and his boss had killed hundreds of thousands of Somalis. I felt that if we could kill Atto and Aidid, we could stop the fighting, get the food to the people quickly, and go home in one piece.</p> <p>It wasn't until around 0815 that our asset finally gave the predetermined signal. He was doing this because the CIA paid him well. I had learned firsthand while working with the CIA how payoffs could sway loyalty.</p> <p>When we saw the signal, Casanova and I launched the "full package." Little Bird and Black Hawk helicopters filled the sky. During this time, the Delta operators literally had their butts hanging out—the urban environment provided too much cover, too much concealment, and too many escape routes for the enemy. All a hostile had to do was shoot a few rounds at a helo or Humvee, jump back inside a building, and put his weapon down. Even if he reappeared, he was not considered hostile without a weapon. Things happened fast, and the environment was unforgiving.</p> <p>Delta Force operators fast-roped down inside the garage, Rangers fast-roped around the garage, and Birds flew overhead with Delta snipers giving the assault force protection. Atto's people scattered like rats. Soon, enemy militia appeared in the neighborhood shooting up at the helicopters.</p> <p>Normally, snipers operate in a spotter-sniper relationship. The spotter identifies, ranges the targets, and relays them to the sniper for execution. There would be no time for that on this op—we were engaged in urban warfare. In this environment, an enemy could appear from anywhere. Even worse, the enemy dressed the same as a civilian. We had to wait and see his intention. Even if he appeared with a gun, there was a chance he was part of a clan on our side. We had to wait until the person pointed the weapon in the direction of our guys. Then we would ensure the enemy ceased to exist.</p> <p>There would be no time for makeup or second shots. Both Casanova and I wielded .300 Win Mag sniper rifles.</p> <p>Through my Leupold 10-power scope, I saw a militiaman 500 yards away firing through an open window at the helos. I made a mental note to keep my heart rate down and centered the crosshairs on him as my muscle memory took over—stock firmly into the shoulder, cheek positioned behind the scope, eye focused on the center of the crosshairs rather than the enemy, and steady trigger squeezing (even though it was only a light, 2-pound pull). I felt the gratifying recoil of my rifle. The round hit him in the side of the chest, entering his left and exiting his right. He convulsed and buckled, falling backward into the building—permanently. I quickly got back into my scope and scanned. Game on now. All other thoughts departed my mind. I was at one with my Win Mag, scanning my sector. Casanova scanned his sector, too.</p> <p>Another militiaman carrying an AK-47 came out a fire escape door on the side of a building 300 yards away from me and aimed his rifle at the Delta operators assaulting the garage. From his position, I'm sure he thought he was safe from the assaulters, and he probably was. He was not safe from me—300 yards wasn't even a challenge. I shot him through his left side, and the round exited his right. He slumped down onto the fire escape landing, never knowing what hit him. His AK-47 lay silent next to him. Someone tried to reach out and retrieve the weapon—one round from my Win Mag put a stop to that. Each time I made a shot, I immediately forgot about that target and scanned for another.</p> <p>Chaos erupted inside and outside of the garage. People ran everywhere. Little Birds and Black Hawks filled the skies with deafening rotor blasts. I was in my own little world, though. Nothing existed outside my scope and my mission. Let the Unit guys handle their business in the garage. My business was reaching out and touching the enemy.</p> <p>This wasn't the first time I'd killed for my country. It wouldn't be the last.</p> <p>A few minutes passed as I continued scanning. More than 800 yards away, a guy popped up with an RPG launcher on his shoulder, preparing to fire at the helicopters. If I took him out, it would be the longest killing shot of my career. If I failed...</p> Copyright © 2011 by Howard E.

Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his war experience. In <I>What It Is Like to Go to War</I>, Marlantes takes a deeply personal and candid look at what it is like to experience the ordeal of combat, critically examining how we might better prepare our soldiers for war. Marlantes weaves riveting accounts of his combat experiences with thoughtful analysis, self-examination, and his readings—from Homer to <I>The Mahabharata</I> to Jung. He makes it clear just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of the journey.<BR><BR>Just as <I>Matterhorn</I> is already being acclaimed as acclaimed as a classic of war literature, <I>What It Is Like to Go to War</I> is set to become required reading for anyone—soldier or civilian—interested in this visceral and all too essential part of the human experience.<BR><strong>Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011</strong>: With unflinching honesty, bestselling author Karl Marlantes tells us <i>What It Is Like to Go to War</i> in his compassionate, powerful narrative on Vietnam. Marlantes does not shy away from recounting experiences that, outside the arena of war, are horrifying or embarrassing and addresses a soldier’s self-imposed “code of silence” as an attempt to fit back in to a society that “simply wants us to shut up about all of this.” While American pop culture celebrates the warrior spirit and winning the battle, “reconciling the moral conduct we are taught…with the brutal acts we do in war has been a problem for warriors of good conscience for centuries.” Marlantes tempers the brutal truths of fear, power games, and courage with a thoughtful prescription for our soldiers’ well-being; caring for our soldiers and their families differently will benefit society as a whole. In <i>What It Is Like to Go to War</i>, Marlantes sets a new standard for understanding the experience of war. --<i>Seira Wilson</i> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Like-War-Karl-Marlantes/dp/0802119921?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><b>Read more</b></a></p><br clear="all"><center><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Like-War-Karl-Marlantes/dp/0802119921?tag=bestgooseberry-20"><font size="3"><b>See all bestsellers Click Here</b></font></a></p></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8304703727794496144-3014142145066811259?l=bookshc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bkanthachaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15291249515748978738noreply@blogger.com0
