Daring to Look: Dorothea Lange's Photographs and Reports from the Field
As someone who used iconic Lange photos in my American Studies classes for years, this book in one I wish I had had BEFORE I retired last year! Their are photos I hadn't seen, in areas I didn't know she worked and, most importantly, her 'reports from the field'. These notes and extended captions give tremendous background to the photos and would be very interesting to students.

Da Capo Press, 2008

Great story teller
Since I soak up all OSS books like a sponge, it was with great zeal that I sprung on this book the moment it was out. O'Donnell is a great writer, and never let's the reader get bored. It would make a great movie. Like all the interesting stories, it's fortunate that they are told by someone like O'Donnell who has the right touch. I have read these books by the real men and women who ...

A New Voice To Watch In Romance!!!
One of the best historical romances I've read in years. I was hooked from the beginning. Great characters with lots of suspense and romance. Hard to put down. The plot and characters seemed fresh, the pace was quick, and it was a totally engrossing read. A sexy hero, a feisty heroine, a mystery, and a passionate romance...put them all together and you get "Daring the Duke", a historical romance ...

Crown, 2000

Informative
This is a good book, especially if you are a family member and want to know the PJ's perspective. As a mom of a pararescueman in training, I was enlightened by this point of view and the support system the families developed to sustain each other during emergencies. I enjoyed this book, read it from cover to cover as soon as it arrived. I have loaned it to several other family members who are ...

Sark

Fireside, 1998

kudos from a SARK rookie
This was my first experience with SARK, and I was skeptical. I read the book in two nights, in a warm bath, and came out a SARK fan!! She is playful and complex at the same time - there are so many levels to her writing. If you are in the mood for a light read, this is it - in the mood for a deep thoughtful read, this is it! - don't let the childlike look of the book fool you - this woman has ...

Simon & Schuster, 2006

Don't waste your time on "The Good Shepherd" -- Buy This Instead!
Given that this book was originally published in 1996, I'm assuming this particular edition was timed for the release of the Robert DeNiro's Hollywood epic "The Good Shepherd" (screenplay by Eric Roth - "Munich"), purporting to tell the "story of the origins of the CIA" through the eyes of Edwin Wilson (an amalgam of James Jesus Angleton and Richard Bissell). DeNiro's attempt to cover several ...

Three Rivers Press, 2006

A Star of First Magnitude!
I began reading with my yellow highliter in hand. I soon had to put it down. It makes no sense when each word or phrase or sentence on each page is a gem. May as well paint the whole book yellow! Because so many of his insightful thoughts and words are also so poetically beautiful, this is not a quick read. It demands reflection, contemplation, digestion. And it is immensely nourishing and ...
