Underrated

Revisado: 01-15-24

James Garfield was like a HOF NFL player whose career was cut short by gruesome injury. This book brilliantly captures the impactful life of our most underrated president. What a great man… what an enjoyable read.

#Thorough

This is a book that could spawn countless other works. It’s a lot to take in all at once, but I chipped away at it and finally reached the finish line.

The book is fair and balanced. No presidential administration is depicted as guiltless - although Obama comes away comparatively smelling like roses.

Worthy read if you are an academic focusing on presidential history.

Hard to Follow

Revisado: 10-06-23

This is a maximalist book. That's the best way to explain it. So much takes place at such a rapid constant pace and if you miss any of it, you miss a lot. It is well-written but disjointed. The parts are more entertaining than the sum.

A Worthwhile Story

Revisado: 09-28-23

What a tremendous adventure the life of Auntie Assata is. It's past time for the US to drop the ridiculous charges against this historic freedom-fighting American. Unbelievable - she was named to the FBI's most wanted list when OBAMA was president - which should let you know all you need to know about him. I am glad that she escaped.

The book was engaging and funny. I can tell Ms Assata has a great sense of humor which is why she was able to survive all that was done against her. A must-read if you are interested in Afro-American history.

Interesting

Revisado: 08-22-23

This was an interesting read. Dr. Kaku gives a layman's level crash course in futurism that is an inch deep and a mile wide. A good primer for delving into some deeper science books. Dr. Kaku is here to get your feet wet - that is all.

Excellent Analysis

Revisado: 08-22-23

The author does a great job of critically contextualizing Muhammad's life. He annihilates the foundationless talking points of the illogical Islamo-apologists.

The audio performance is well done and the reader fluidly switches between Arabic phrases and English explanations. A worthwhile read if you are interested in Religious history.

Conscious Military History

Revisado: 07-19-23

This is a book about the cold realities of modern warfare. What a waste of young lives. There had to be a better way for nations to settle disputes. I think that military histories that glorify war and pedestalize the glorious warrior are doing a disservice to humanity.

This book is well-researched, well-written, and the audiobook is well-performed. Most importantly - I learned a lot.

Work of a Lifetime

Revisado: 07-06-23

Les Payne dedicated his life to this work. His life was evidently well-spent. I did not think there was anything else to write about Malcolm Shabazz. We have seen the movies, read the peer reviewed article and the autobiography. Les Payne has surpassed them all and contextualized Malcom,s life that makes him even more admirable, heroic, honest, and brilliant than ever. Great book… well executed.

Thoroughly Brilliant

Revisado: 05-26-23

Rothstein aims a flood light at the polka-dot pink elephant in the room. Every American should read this, but I’m sure some people (you know who you are) are trying to get this banned as I type.

Well done, well researched … I had the pleasure of meeting the author years ago and he claimed this book is really just a recap of what social scientists have known for decades. Question is - What are we going to do about it?
