Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Excellent Storytelling

Westover kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Almost hard to believe her story even happened, it is so unreal, yet also so believable.

Volume Four begins in March, 1865 with Lee's starving soldiers facing annihilation at the hands of Grant's enormous army. Surrounded, with all avenues of escape cut off, Lee honorably surrendered the remnants of his valiant Army of Northern Virginia at Appamattox on April 9. Having done his military duty to his people, Lee next asked himself, "What is now my duty?" Declining handsome financial rewards for the use of his name in commercial ventures, Lee decided to share the misery of the people of Virginia and the South.

The Last Volume
Revisado: 11-14-22
The narrator was excellent, the subject holy, and the author superb.
This volume covers less of the war than the others, and most of it is spent after the War. It is not quite as concise or as moving as "Lee: the Last Years," but it intertwines with the previous three volumes and allows for a greater frame of reference.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 80
John C. Calhoun is among the most notorious and enigmatic figures in American political history. First elected to Congress in 1810, Calhoun went on to serve as secretary of war and vice president. But he is perhaps most known for arguing in favor of slavery as a "positive good" and for his famous doctrine of "state interposition", which laid the groundwork for the South to secede from the Union - and arguably set the nation on course for civil war. The strain of radical politics he developed has found expression once again in the tactics and extremism of the modern Far Right.

Calhoun's life is quite interesting on its own, and Rick Elder gave a good picture of his life. The narration definitely removed from the experience though.

In Rules for Reformers, Douglas Wilson poaches the political craft of radical progressives and applies it to Christian efforts in the current culture war. The result is a spicy blend of combat manual and cultural manifesto. Rules for Reformers is a little bit proclamation of grace, a little bit Art of War, and a little bit analysis of past embarrassments and current cowardice, all mixed together with a bunch of advanced knife-fighting techniques. As motivating as it is provocative, Rules for Reformers is just plain good to hear.

Moscow Gameplan
Revisado: 12-16-20
This is a classic Doug Wilson book: writing a gameplan for Christians who want to take on the culture and establishment unapologetically. Part one covers the strategy (the best part of the book in my opinion) and then part two is really a series of articles on different obstacles and difficulties, all the while pointing to Christ as the reason for doing what we do.
The second half is a little less interesting, as it becomes more of Wilson's personal musings than articulated strategy, but it helps get inside his head and his approach to engagement.
