Short, sweet, and to the point

Revisado: 06-28-24

Focus on Mitch was healthy. Not sure others have been paying attention but this one man has done more to destroy this democracy. Mitch McConnell has done a lot of damage that will have long term ramifications. I’m sure he and his fans are happy but am troubled that one man can hurt so many people……. And clearly, he does not care. This book explains the issue in great detail. I am grateful for this book and the information it provides.

The scholarship and attention to detail.

Revisado: 04-02-24

This book demonstrates what can be done when people decide to do something about the harm their ancestors caused and perpetuated. Coming face to face with the wrongs done to generations took courage. I am grateful for that. So much more needs to be said and done. America has great wealth, and I am hope it will pay attention and accept its larger role in slavery. This is a very good beginning !

Somebody had to say it.

Revisado: 03-18-24

I enjoyed the book and felt vindicated by the author’s basic premise that America’s challenges are so deeply rooted in its culture that it will be next to impossible to eradicate it. White supremacy and white nationalism is not going away quietly. Denial is the first hurdle. The author it clear that our work as a nation to repair its racist past is far from over and in many ways has not even begun.

Excellent summary of this nation’s history.

Revisado: 11-13-23

Should be required reading for every high school student. More can be said but her summary is enough. We are in trouble, and the future is up to us who love the ideals of democracy and want to see it perfected in our lifetime. Highly recommend.

I look around me, but fail to find anyone who can be compared.

It was sad to know the outcome of the story before reading it. The sadness continued thru each chapter even onto the end. What a great man. Yes, one can be changed by reading this story. I can personally attest to it. From start to finish, Bonhoeffer challenges me to pray fervently and to read, study, and meditate on God’s word. It is the most important thing for me to do as a Christian and I am thankful for the life of D. Bonhoeffer as told in this book. May his memory always be honored.

Andrew Jackson

Revisado: 01-17-23

A busk of Andrew Jackson was prominently displayed in the Oval Office during the term of Donald Trump as President of the United States. If you are a trump supporter, you might want to listen to this book……shameful 😢

A sad but important historical account

Revisado: 11-23-22

Been delaying the reading of this book for several years but finally decided, in honor of Native American Heritage month 2022. I regret that I did not read this sooner.

It is a tragic history that is not taught anywhere. I can now see why. America is a horrible place that continues to brag about its accomplishments since the founding of this country…..what a sham. This land was stolen, no doubt about it, but the thievery was done by murdering and exterminating the people who lived here. And to make matters worse, the story of the events leading to the extermination of Native American has been hidden and current attempts to keep those events are no worse than the actual event.

Shame on America. We should be better than that but I’m afraid we are not.

How could this be allowed to happen ?

Revisado: 11-12-22

Happy to hear this narrative. Certainly recall the events outlined here and the context of the events. So much more could have been said but the bottom line is that a very flawed human was allowed to get all the way to the Oval, and it could very well happen again. A must read for historical perspective but sad to hear how this man manipulated everyone and everything around him for so long for his own personal pleasure. He cared about no one…..ever. We owe
Maggie special thanks for her courage to share this unbelievable tale to a nation that is not ready to hear the truth. Much courage is needed.

Definitely time to move forward. Some folks are just too gullible. We can never go back to being manipulated by con men and women.

Sending out the alarm

Revisado: 08-30-22

It’s hard to disagree with the book’s title. There are Americans who want to kill other Americans. It is appalling to think about but Mr. Nance speaks directly to us and sends a strong message that simply cannot be ignored. This undercurrent of venom has been out there for a long time. Malcom calls it out. If something isn’t done NOW, we are doomed. They are crazy and have guns. Lots of guns, and they don’t care. This is a serious warning 😳
