Good read for appropriate age group
I read this book as part of an 11th Grade Language arts project, and found it to be an easy read. The surprising part was that even though this was an easy book to read it still kept the readers interest. Due to some minor references to nude beaches and other information that may be considered inappropriate, I would recommend this to the 8-12th grade range. Anyone above that point may find the ...
Tigers of the Snow: How One Fateful Climb Made The Sherpas Mountaineering Legends
1 review
Thomas Dunne Books, 2002
Wonderful
This is a book of absolute necessity for anyone who claims to be a mountaineer, and there are few true mountaineers from any school of the art anymore. Showing one of the - if not the first - crucial turning points for the Sherpa people as simple labourors for foolhardy, selfish foreigners to the truest examples of mountaineers on the world's great peaks. For the history alone, and for Neale's ...
You Are G8, We Are 6 Billion: The Truth Behind the Genoa Protests

Poor Representation of an Important Movement
Here Jonathan Neale has attempted two books in one - a personal chronicle of the Genoa protests, and a scholarly examination of the issues they were protesting. The former works a little, and the latter doesn't work at all. As a participant among the whopping 300,000 protestors at the Genoa G8 summit, Neale's story from the trenches is an occasionally valuable account of the beliefs of a movement ...

Making Sense of Vietnam
Using a Marxist class perspective, Neale makes sense of the post WWII history of Vietnam in all its complexity. In fact, having read Neale's history, the standard nationalist histories which insist on nation states as the central actors, seem not just inadequate, but misleading. By emphasizing the clash of Vietnam's many masters and would-be masters, both colonial and local, including Asians -- ...
What's Wrong with America?: How the Rich and Powerful Have Changed America and Now Want to Change the World

A must-read to understand how the US really works!
This book was an eye-opener for me... to put it simply, horrifying. You may need to set aside preconceptions about Marxism to read it with an open mind, however. Neale makes it quite clear that US policy is not dependent on who resides in the White House: a president will not be able to implement anything of which the major corporations disapprove. It is also very clear that the current ...
The American War: Vietnam 1960-1975

It makes you think a little deeper than ordinary histories do...
This book is probably very annoying for the average American because it studies the Vietnam War from the perspective of the class war within the American society and unearths old wounds (like the racism). If you are a dedicated anti-communist you'd better avoid this book altogehter because it's full of marxist terminology and sees everything through the ideological glasses. But if you can stand a ...
