Theodore Dalrymple, a British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England, has seemingly seen it all. Yet in listening to and observing his patients, he is continually astonished by the latest twist of depravity that exceeds even his own considerable experience. Dalrymple's key insight in Life at the Bottom is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics, but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims.

Shock and Awe
Revisado: 04-24-23
A tantalizingly uncensored view into the near ludicrous reality of true British (and, I surmise, Western) life, Theodore Dalrymple's book is a work of dire importance in today's atmosphere of cool degeneration. Life at the Bottom and works like it, George Orwell and Ayn Rand come to mind, should be mandatory reading for anyone even vaguely interested in the continuance and wellbeing of western nations across the world. But beware, notions of a Pride and Prejudice like England will soon be replaced by those bearing more resemblance to A Clockwork Orange than anything else. Well done sir!
James Cameron Stewart was, as always, a great narrator.

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.

Should be required reading
Revisado: 03-31-21
The expanse of the work and the depth of the research is truly astounding, though not nearly as astounding as the remarkable and noble life the subject. The four volumes that culminate in this masterpiece should be required reading for every high school and college student in the country and will do nothing but better the reader. The narration is also of excellent quality and serves to make the already engaging narrative riveting until the very last word.
