The Armour of Contempt (Gaunt's Ghosts)

Dan Abnett
Games Workshop
, 2007
More good work from Abnett.
I liked it very much; not sure if it was because I always like Abnett or because I'd just finished that dreadful Descent of Angels book. Good plot development, just enough characters to make things diverse without losing any tension. Could have been a bit longer, but that's just me.

Scary moments of our past
When Leroy Phillips, Jr. came to visit my school in Chattanooga, I was overwhelmed by the knowledge that something like this could have happened in my city. After his talk, I decided to read the book for myself. At first, I noticed that the authors took a lot of time to research the subject thoroughly, so much so that I think they know more about Chattanooga than I do, keeping in mind Leroy ...

very inspiring
First off, Jess Walters is a wonderful writer. Very powerful writing. After reading the book, I have the upmost respect for Darden and his fight for justice. Although he could not achieve justice for Nicole Brown, I admire him for his heart. This is an easy book to read. Getting an insider look through the eyes of Darden is well worth your time. It inspires emotion and inspiration.

Faustian Bargain and the Unreliable Narrator
After a second reading of Contempt, I feel compelled to call the short, tautly written novel a masterpiece. Told from the perspective of a neurotic egotist, the narrator accounts how he "sacrificed" his literary writing career to debase himself in the tawdry task of writing screenplays so that he can afford to lavish his wife with a bigger more opulent living quarters. The narrator convinces ...

Daryl Michael Scott
The University of North Carolina Press
, 1997
A passionate and erudite work.
Mr Scott has demonstrated that the left and right have often distorted the African-Americans' humanity. This study serves to correct the position of Black folk and to return their humanity. Black folk are neither pathological as a group or helpless victims. Rather the African-American has faced discrimination and continues to face discrimination. Yet the solution to the African-Americans ...

Pascal Bruckner
The Free Press, A Division of Macmillan Inc.
, 1986
Must Read
Pascal Bruckner's The Tears of the White Man is an old school classic concerning the guilt westerners feel towards citizens of the third world. It also describes the guilt whites feel towards people of color in general, but is only vicariously applicable to the United States. An introduction by William Beer ties its narrative to the American experience but Bruckner himself, a Frenchmen, doesn't ...

Important Wake Up Call About The Right Wing Extremists Seeking To Take Over Our Judicial System
In "Contempt" Crier does an outstanding job of exposing the danger being posed by right-wingers, especially the Religious Right, in their attempt to take over the court system in America. She discusses the absurd statements and actions of well known evangelical nut cases such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. But she also talks about lesser known religious extremists who are using their power ...

Written in a very scholarly manner and carefully documented, it analyzes numerous movies, cartoons and tv shows to prove this point. The reader is clearly shown how men are ridiculed and insulted in virtually every advertisement, cartoon and movie by individuals (male and ...
Mutual Contempt: Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, and the Feud That Defined a Decade

Mutual Contempt
With so many books about the Kennedys and LBJ, it is strange that this is the first to focus specifically on Bobby Kennedy's feud with Lyndon Johnson. Their animus was visible to all who knew them, from family and close advisors to junior staff and reporters. The hatred began before the 1960 campaign, but really seemed to blossom at the 1960 Democratic convention, when LBJ was chosen as John ...
