One of my fav parts of Black Jacobins has been all the letters Napoleon's brother-in-law sent him from Haiti that were like "Everything is fine. We're winning. Send 20,000 reinforcements and supplies and someone to replace me or I am going to hang myself in public."

don't let the libs write about radical's.....

Revisado: 04-28-21

Why in the world someone who thinks "terrorism" is "bad" would write about Parsons, I can't even guess. While she was flawed for sure the author makes wild guesses about her life at times, whenever the chance to smear anarchy appears

the narrator stumbles quite a lot as well

Intruiging writing of the angry discontent

Revisado: 02-25-21

It's flawed, a bit wordy and ranty when it could more succinctly explain many of its points. Its seems unsure if it wants to be an impassioned outraged cry or plain political theory and gets kinda lost. Still think it provided enough of an interesting perspective to give my recommendation.

The kind of book that changes you

Revisado: 02-25-21

Amazing! You'll be shocked by this book. Its a bit challenging, but many of your impressions of global politics will be called into question in undeniable ways. Even if you aren't very familiar with any of the examples of the 50s-80s that the book focuses on, you will no doubt see the tactics through which narratives are warped familiar from your own casual news reading.

A Good Resource If Your Uncle Has You Worried

Revisado: 02-25-21

I've seen some other books delve more deeply into these topics, but if you want to understand the origins of the modern wave of conspiracy theory, and also how to best broach the topic with a troubled family member or friend, this is the book for you.

I have fallen in love with Baldwin's unique style

Revisado: 02-25-21

So much is discussed in the several essays included its difficult to describe. The narrator does very well capturing both Baldwin's dry wit and sorrow. James Baldwin's writing is gripping, truthful, painful, so excellent at placing you into a new perspective that I couldn't stop listening.

Extremely impactful and still relevant

Revisado: 02-25-21

I'll start by saying, yes, this is only an hour long, but if both this version and the other narration are typically going quite cheap so relatively you're probably still at least getting you're bang for your buck.... be certain not to go using a credit on it though.

Love how the narrator's passion that brings Butler's anger to life. After a long successful military career he was made to rethinks the reasons he was sent to all those battles in the first place. The motives of all the many global conflicts America involves itself in. So who truly benefits from war and how? That is what he seeks to outline in this essay.
