This book is a keeper.             With No One as Witness (Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers Novels)51 reviews Elizabeth George Harper, 2006 With NoOne As Witness This is a gripping tale and difficult to put down. I am so happy the book is about 900 pages long ---it is like having a double helping of my favorite dessert.             The Foreign Correspondent: A Novel63 reviews Alan Furst Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007 Introducing the Italian Resistenza With 'Foreign Correspondent', Alan Furst's renown continues to grow. Furst once again centers his novel in pre-World War Two Paris, but this time his protagonist hails from southern Europe - Italy - rather than France or eastern Europe. Carlo Weisz is a journalist with the Associated Press (in a time when the AP was still a very big deal) in Paris where he has landed after fleeing Mussolini's ...             The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know ...21 reviews Iain Murray Regnery Publishing, 2008 Skewers the paradigms of the liberal environmental fascist movement Iain Murray well-written book skewers the fundamental principles of the radical left environmental movement, and does it very artfully. Clearly, this is a compelling book which mastefully states the case of the failures of the environmental movement, and their `liberal fascistic" approach to society. Murray shows at the very beginning that the environmental movement focuses on (1) identifying ...             Killer Heat28 reviews Linda Fairstein Doubleday, 2008 A killer hot legal thriller I love the Alex Cooper books both because they are great legal thriller and because of the New York history lessons Linda Fairstein includes as part of the plot. This one has Governors Island, which I saw every day from the windows of my last apartment in NYC, and a couple other interesting "ghost islands." I think the book stands on its own pretty well, but if you are new to the Alex Cooper ...             The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Vintage)283 reviews Lawrence Wright Vintage, 2007 The Definitive Account of The Genesis of Al Qaeda It is easy to see how the author won the Pulitzer for this book. It is the definitive account of Al Qaeda's genesis leading up to 9/11. The book is both detailed but also concise and extremely readable. The author has a talent to make these events of non-fiction read like the best thriller novel. For those that want to understand our enemy and how we got to 9/11, this is essential reading. ...             Hollywood Crows: A Novel33 reviews Joseph Wambaugh Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Hilarious cop stories "Hollywood Crows" is a terrific novel, with colorful characters and an endless supply of cops-and-robbers anecdotes, sometimes hilarious and sometimes tragic, but always fascinating. There's a plot too, but, really, who cares? It's the characters and the anecdotes that make the book so entertaining. And if that's what appeals to you, then I highly recommend Wambaugh's "Choirboys," which ...             Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September ...139 reviews Steve Coll Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004 bordering on fraudulent well, not this book actually, but a related book by Coll's colleague Parag Khanna titled The Second World. Some of the various, and numerous, factual errors that riddle the book are relatively trivial, but suggest serious sloppiness and disregard for getting facts right. For example, Yugoslavia was not part of Warsaw pact, as Khanna states. Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov was appointed to office in ...             The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century21 reviews Steve Coll Penguin Press HC, The, 2008 Biography of Family Steve Coll's latest book, The Bin Ladens, is an excellent successor to his previous, Ghost Wars, about the wars in Afghanistan over the last 30 years. With excellent prose and well researched documentation, Coll provides rich detail on an otherwise unknown history. Specifically, that the family that bread the terrorist who committed the worst attack on US soil has also contributed a significant ...             Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man Dalton Fury St. Martin's Press, 2008 The mission was to kill the most wanted man in the world--a mission important enough it couldn’t be handled by just any American military or intelligence force. This was a mission of international importance and the best America had to offer was needed. As such, handed the task were roughly forty members of America’s super secret counterterrorist unit--an elite and mysterious unit known as Delta Force. These Delta warriors had help. ...             The Al Qaeda Reader16 reviews Broadway, 2007 Al Qaeda, in its own words... To the very considerable extent that the confict between the West and al Qaeda is a war of ideas, 2007's "The Al Qaeda Reader" is essential for understanding al Qaeda's point of view. Raymond Ibrahim has done American readers a great service in translating and editing a selection of al Qaeda documents on theology and propaganda. As Ibrahim notes in his introduction, "This volume of ...             Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia102 reviews Carmen Bin Ladin Grand Central Publishing, 2005 Don't miss this one........ This is a very interesting, well written book that will give you a lot of insight into what it's like be a female living in Saudi Arabia. In spite of wealth, it is definitely not much fun to be a woman in that society. This is the story of an attractive, intelligent young woman who was raised in Western Europe, who then met, fell in love with and married one of Bin Laden's many brothers who was ...             Natural Church Development: A Guide to Eight Essential Qualities of Healthy Churches17 reviews Christian A. Schwarz Churchsmart Resources, 1996 There is Not Just One Secret! Having read a number of books on Church Leadership and "How to Have An Effective Church" a lot of times I feel people put forth a "Model" approach rather than a "Principle" approach. "If you just do this more, than your church will grow" as if there is just one secret to growth. Christian Schwartz does a great job in sharing principles for a "Heathly Church" whatever model of church you may ...             Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the Character Ethic796 reviews Stephen R. Covey Simon & Schuster, 1989 Simple yet profound! I really enjoyed reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R Covey. Covey starts with the premise everyone is born with these traits and one has to practice and cultivate them. My favorite chapter is "WIN/WIN". Covey's premise is there are 6 paradigms of humans interaction and that WIN/WIN is not a technique it is a philosophy of human interaction. Relationships can be ...             Baker Towers: A Novel70 reviews Jennifer Haigh Harper Perennial, 2006 A Great Company Coal Town Saga Having read and reviewed Jennifer Haigh's book The Condition for Amazon.com's Vine Program, I found the author's writing style and story telling ability superb and decided to buy Baker Towers and Mrs. Kimble. I do not normally read fictions; however, this author's words enable me to visualize the setting and feel the story unfolding. Jennifer Haigh begins her story with Rose and Stanley Novak ...             The MacArthur Bible Commentary28 reviews John MacArthur Thomas Nelson, 2005 Just what I needed This commentary is very clear and concise; easy to understand and from a conservative view. I find it very helpful and recommend it to any student of the scriptures.             Jawbreaker: The Attack on Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda: A Personal Account by the CIA's Key Field Commander114 reviews Gary Berntsen, Ralph Pezzullo Three Rivers Press, 2006 High Risks for Brave Professionals... From the first pages of his redacted recollections, Gary Bernsten takes us on a whirlwind tour of the Agency's early frustrations with the menace of Al Qaeda - as well as his own for the Washington bureaucracy - giving us our first glimpse of the Panshir Valley prior to the USS Cole tragedy and the 9/11 turning point. Bernsten picks up the momentum of Jawbreaker: The Attack on Bin Laden and Al ...             The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century1147 reviews Thomas L. Friedman Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005 Loved it, should be mandatory reading in high schools..... Tom Friedman just makes so much sense.....He takes complex issues and explains things in an easy way. I only wish he worked for our government and had the power of our government in addition to the power of his pen.             Midnight Rambler: A Novel of Suspense54 reviews James Swain Ballantine Books, 2007 Wonderful! A friend gave me this book and we have passed it around my family. Well written, plausible, great action ride and characters...I have ordered his other books and am in the process of enjoying the Tony Valentine series as well (also great fun!). If you are looking for an author who is not a household name, therefore writing with intriguing ideas and not just to put another book under his name, ...             Atonement752 reviews Ian Mcewan Anchor, 2007 A Writer Learns About Life There are so many reviews of this book already that I am loathe to add more redundant verbiage to the pile. So I'll just say that this is my third Ian McEwan novel (having read "On Chesil Beach" and "Saturday" before I read this one), and I must say that he is now one of my favorite writers. This book functions on so many levels and in the end is really as much about the craft of writing as ...              search for books afghanistan, al-qaeda, american, atonement, brothers, catastrophes, character, churches, commander, commentary, correspondent, development, effective, environmental, essential, history, hollywood, inconvenient, invasion, jawbreaker, liberals, macarthur, mackade, midnight, personal, qualities, restoring, september, suspense, twenty-first books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
