Stephanie De stephaniedeoliveira — $3 in the clearance pile at Borders. Pre-bankruptcy. I liked this book, I did. It's a lot of history I wasn't alive for, so I come away thinking I learned quote a bit. It was interesting stuff, in particular that half the chapters while I was reading (albeit slowly.. you might notice the logjam in my "currently reading" pile here is just shy of thirty books...) were eerily relevant. There's a chapter on Khadafi, Quadafi, Ghadafi, whatever the spelling of that world leader's name may be this week. In the book it was Quadafi, but ABC news as of today (April 1 as I write this) Anyway, ABC news has moved to spelling his name with something whose lead-off batter is the letter 'G'. But it was oddly topical, considering the book is from 2005. There is the occasional formatting oddness (and a penchant for "try and (verb)" which I always cringe at, (I prefer "try to"--although there is one "try to" so it's not consistently line-edited) as well as a tendency not to format things the same between the abundant footnotes (really, a plethora) and the main text, (Al Jihad in the text three pages later is Al-Jihad, and a guy named el-Banna is al-Banna in the footnotes) (Is indisciplined a word? p. 297) and the occasional spot where the material is repeated in (a) the footnote (b) the lead off quote and (c) a previous chapter. Which was a bit much. (it's a quote from Lyndon Johnson about Diem). Typo-wise I found some stuff you could write off to house style (using out numbered not outnumbered, well protected for well-protected, eye witness, market place, and so on. A fair number of spots I feel the urge for a hyphen but there isn't one (blood soaked toga, noble minded, clear thinking, self respect, etc.) Bu then some guy that's not dead is referred to as a martyr, and I can't compute on that one. A footnote refers to "Al Qaeda suspects are always told...." when it's pretty clear to me that while they may be suspects to us, the folks who are receiving training from Al Qaeda are members, if not the presidents of the club, but they're not suspects, grammatically if they're receiving training from the terrorist group. Anyway. I'd say there are ten to twenty typos. Your basic missing words or bad verb tenses (one or two each), the weird missing hyphens, the non-compound words, and the "try and" and "try to" inconsistencies. The most glaring typo being the Champs Elysees minus the second 's'. For a UK book, that should have been seen and fixed. (p. 180), particularly considering this is a retread of the author's previous 'Princess Diana was assassinated probably by the Crown' material. That section cites all kinds of figures, one of them in English, the rest in metric. Why it's not consistent? A few statements are debatable word choice-- without Hirohito, "his successor would not have carried the same authority and the war would have dragged on," p. 247. I'd argue for 'could' here, but that's me. Would on my planet expresses greater certainty. Could is speculation. Elsewhere there's a usage of "casuistry" that doesn't work for me. The word he's looking for is smoke and mirrors or some kind of chicanery, not an examination of moral principles and arriving at a logical conclusion. (p. 152) There was also the interview from 2003 with Nabawy Ismail who said that Al-Jihad was dangerous in Egypt in 1981. (That's the year Sadat was assassinated, and here this guy is saying he knew they were dangerous a good twenty-plus years later. Wow. He's smart.) Anyway, Sadat's successor was... drum roll... the recently oustered Hosni (or Hosny) Mubarek. And what with the now-current U.S. - Libya intervention a la Bill Clinton's barrage of million-dollar cruise missiles--now Obama, and Reagan had something to do with Kadafi back when he had a 'K' in his name, and the other chapter alleging ties between Thatcher, Reagan, and a seemingly irrelevant chapter about PFC Yvonne Fletcher that is then tied into Libya when the Reagan administration bombed the back in the good old days... But there's a great quote about Libya being irrelevant (from Vince Canistraro) and it's the country "we" like to kick when we're mad at Syria, who is the real problem: "It's like kicking the cat." There is also a stunning Sadat quote having to do with Israel (his peace initiative, etc. He's the only Arab leader (as of 2005 obviously) to have spoken to the Israeli parliament) -- Israel could have peace if they would give back the lands taken in 1967 (correct me if I'm wrong this is the Yom Kippur War and the land includes the Gaza Strip and Golan Heights--the area still being settled and disputed), and if they would recognize the human rights of Palestinians. (think on this one, because the bar has now been raised to "recognize Palestine's right to exist), but think -- we could have had twenty plus years of peace in the area, or might have it Sadat had lived. And been listened to. There are also some fascinating parallels between the right wing killing of Yitzak Rabin and the right wing killing of Sadat. Both groups sought out approval from religious authorities and old doctrine was dredged up to justify it. They just happened to be different religions. We also get coverage of Al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda's second (Bellfield translates this as 'The Base' but I thought it was 'The Network' anyway). There's a mention or two of the Muslim Brotherhood vs. Gadhafi, the IRA, the British (vs. the IRA), Hitler, and Franz Ferdinand (not the musical group). According to this book, Kalid Sheik Mohammad started talking immediately. (which conflicts with the waterboarding stories based on my recollection.) Structurally, the book reminds me of Washed Up--as both are largely anecdotal and not a lot of historical order. And apparently the CIA was behaving badly in the 1960s. That was of course recent news as well. (to us).

Burak Ovacık bovacik — Great book!!! This book just jumped out and grabbed me on page one and then it got good. Story of a man who wins a free trip to orbit the earth in the first commercial enterprise to take the public into orbit, and ends up going alone with the shuttle pilot who gets killed just as they enter orbit, by a meteor fragment. This book is white-water reading in class 5 waters. If you haven't read it, get it and read it.

Bernhard Oberdieck grafix — I loved the way this book was organized. It was not your typical autobiography, this book was the more random style of Sinatra such as his drink, his hats and philosophy of dress for men, his friendship with the Rat Pack, and his stance on issues during that time in American History. Very fun, interesting read.
