Its not too much of an exageration to say that this book is an oversight of 20th century usa. Alistair Cooke's letter is something i came too only a few years before his death and this book goes through from the 40s right until his last letter.
The quality of writing is superb of a man at the cutting edge of history. >>More Details |

A History of Modern Britainby: Andrew Marr May 17, 2007 Best Selling > Books > History |
||
|
This is an interesting and readable history of our country since the Second World War marred (pun intended) by a liberal/left-wing bias. Andrew Marr deals with a number of topics and this book is neither political nor social history but contains bits of each and more.
Much of the book is a re-hash of information that I had already gathered from elsewhere but some topics were new to me. For example, Andrew Marr spent some time discussing the rise of pop music and how this and the fashion industry seems to have originated mainly from people who went to art school rather than e.g. university or technical college. The main strengths of the book are a clear writing style and the willingness to tackle slighly off beat subjects here and ... Read More: >>More Details |

I thought the book was a bit boring at the start but that is because i have read Bravo Two Zero and it's sort of the same thing, but you get a background view of chris ryan and his life befor and after the gulf. The story realy got going though once the patrol splits and thats when you find out what happend to the other three members of the patrol(If you have read Bravo Two Zero first). All in all its a good read.

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Surviveby: Jared Diamond January 26, 2006 Best Selling > Books > History |

The book starts with a fascinating collection of stories about historical societies that have collapsed due to ecological disasters. These stories are very fascinating and include stories such as: Easter Island, The Norse in Greenland and the collapse of the Maya civilisation.
Later in the book Diamond moves on to describe moderns problems and this is where the book gets confusing. He has chapters about mining waste in Montana and erosion of soil in Australia. The country of Australia is not likely to collapse due to soil erosion (And Diamond admits that), so why did he put a chapter about Australia in his book about collapsing societies? Summing up there are a lot of good stories in the book, and it does make a lasting impression, but the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Walter Isaacson has created a unique and wholely respectful insight into the life of one of the great scientific figures of the 20th century.
As with any biography that is true to the subject and not retrospectively judgemental, Mr. Isaacson paints a very human picture of a man held in awe by most and misunderstood by many. This is a first rate book. I've taken one star off, as the scientific detail could even be shorter. Mr.Isaacson, keep writing please ! >>More Details |

Born and bred in Wigan.I had read 1984 and Animal Farm but had put off reading TRTWP until I was 50.
Orwell writes of the hopelessness of the masses and concludes that they accept their lot because of the "palliatives" of modern technology i.e.cheap clothing (dream of being Greta Garbo or Clark Gable) , alcohol,the movies, radio, the football pools etc. The government massage and manipulate statistics to show unemployment levels and poverty to be a fraction as bad as they really are. The middle-class believed that the poor should be instructed to spend their means tested allowance wisely eating tasteless but healthy food,wholemeal bread,oranges,raw carrots etc and to shun alcohol and tobacco etc. Tell me as anything really changed or have we come ...

An Australian has written the best book I have read on our civil war. She tells the story using the accounts and histories of people great and small involved in the most devastating conflict our country had ever experienced. She is very even handed promoting the readers respect for aspects of both Charles and Cromwell, thgough I still conclude the thing the king did best was the way he faced death. One gets a real feel for the times and the horror of war. So much so I skipped some of the accounts of the military surgeons. There are limits to how much real blood and gore this reader can stomach.

A fantastic book which everybody should read - we owe it to the people who were wiped out. They lost their lives, but the world lost as much - a brilliant culture and people who really appreciated nature and showed enormous wisdom and magnanimity. In the short time they were allowed to survive alongside the white man they sowed the seeds of the ecology movement, which might help to save the planet. So their lives were not in vain - and they gave us Johnny Depp and Cher.
