This book's setting is eerily similar to the current state of affairs going on in with the 2008 Presidential Election, with the Democrats picking themselves apart while the Republicans sit back and enjoy the show. Richard Nixon is shown as the abomination that he was and HST's writing is as animated and humorous as I have ever seen it. This book surpassed my expectations and was a surprisingly ...             Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, 4th Edition Bruce R. Cordell, Ed Greenwood, ...

The thing that I most respect about the man is that he asks the tough questions of both sides of the political aisle. Many conservative Republicans are upset with him now because he is so tough on the Bush administration but a scant eight years ago liberal Democrats were ...             Capital Campaigns, 2nd Edition: Strategies That Work (Jones and Bartlett's Funding Raising Series for the ...3 reviews Andrea Kihlstedt Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc., 2004 What a surprise!

The Afghan Campaign By Steven Pressfield Great authors usually write fictional novels about the Great Alexander. Others just read about him. Many do research about this mesmerizing topic. I chose to write a novel about Alexander seen through the eyes (and feelings) of the enigmatic Hephaistion. Hard job: I might be completing it sooner or later if life grants me the time to do it.

Wizards of the Coast, 2001 Return to the best setting ever! I was very unsettled when the old parent company TSR went under in 1997. I loved the lavish boxed set filled with maps and cards. The novels was what it was about for myself. I loved the Dragonlance Chronicles in the mid 1980s. Then I happened upon the old gray box called the Forgotten Realms. I thought it revolutionary as an open-ended adventure setting. I didnt have many friends interested in ...             Shiloh and the Western Campaign of 186214 reviews Savas Beatie, 2007 Shiloh Battle History Personalized I would highly recommend this book. Being a novice at Civil War history this one opened my eyes on this little reported or storied second large battle of the War of the Rebellion. One can find many parallels on events of present day.

Shea, Michael John Burton Praeger Publishers, 2006 Good not great, still the most complete book I've read on the subject. Good book, not great. The beginning of the book starts off really strong with the technical tools people use to win elections. About midway through the book it starts to give really vague overviews of public relations tactics.
