Fry Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2006 In the midst of the Vietnam War, two titans of the Senate, J. William Fulbright and John C. Stennis, held public hearings to debate the conflict's future.

But if you're a fan of Mr. Baraka, this book is a 40-year collection, and a definite must for your bookshelf. In the words of Mr. Baraka, "Can you stand such beauty? So violent and transforming."

When first published about a decade ago, Debeljak's essay was met with harsh criticism in many of the republics of the former Yugoslavia (and not just there) as being a sappy example of `Yugo-nostalgia.' This was particularly true of Croatia and Debeljak's native Slovenia. This despite the fact that the entire first section of the book is a rather harsh condemnation of those nationalist regimes ...             Where the Domino Fell: America and Vietnam 1945-19953 reviews James S. Olson, Randy W. Roberts Wiley-Blackwell, 2008 Can the Vietnam War Ever Make Sense? Can the Vietnam War Ever Make Sense? Where the Domino Fell, by James Olson and Randy Roberts, St. Martin's Press, 1991.

I was in Germany during the fall of the wall. Nothing could be further from the truth that this book of self-serving US tripe. First, East Germany was unable to hold onto its intelligencia. They might have had their bodies, but their souls were in the west. Second, the Lutheran Church was no longer willing to compliant to the division. Third, the Pope's work in Poland did not go unnoticed. ...             Time out of Mind: The Diaries of Leonard Michaels, 1961-19952 reviews Leonard Michaels Riverhead Trade, 2000 A masterpiece in the genre of bit-lit I wish it had been longer. Leonard's diary is only about 47 billion times better than William Burroughs's diary. This thing is right up there with Kenneth Tynan's diary. And like Tynan, he's something of a sex-obsessive. Here's one of my favorite entries: "Big dream last night. A man wearing a dark suit sits at a table with me, talking, watching me. Gradually and obliquely he conveys a message ...              search for books 1945-1995, 1961-1995, accessories, america, baraka, barbie, berlin, causes, consequences, debating, diaries, domino, fulbright, hearings, heaven, leonard, marriage, michaels, poetry, reassessing, recollections, selected, senate, stennis, transbluesency, treasury, twilight, vietnam, where, yugoslavia books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
