Historia
In this epic history of extermination and survival, Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on untapped sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, Black Earth recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think and thus all the more terrifying.

Historia
Since the Six-Day War, Israelis have been entrenched in a national debate over whether to keep the land they conquered or to return some, if not all, of the territories to Palestinians. In a balanced and insightful analysis, Micah Goodman deftly sheds light on the ideas that have shaped Israelis' thinking on both sides of the debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Contrary to opinions that dominate the discussion, he discovers that the paradox of Israeli political discourse is that both sides are right in what they affirm - and wrong in what they deny.

Revisado: 12-11-18
If you are interested in why Israelies and Palestinains can not make peace this is the book for you. It is not a polemic nor is it an advocacy for either sides views, truths or propoganda. It is a highly intelligent book going over all the obstacles and in the end he makes a number of well thought through ideas how to improve relationshipx in which each side gets something.I thought I was knowledgable on the subject but I learned quite a bit new information. It is a book for intillectual provocation and new thought. I highly recommend this book for people who are willing to have their prejudices on this subject challenged. It is no t long nor difficult. I had a hard time putting it down.

Enough info for a magazine article not for a book
Revisado: 12-01-18
I have four academic degrees so I must know about studying. I have an equisitive mind interestdd in learning new things. I still am not good at math (my wife is). I repeated statistics three times nkt because I failed but because I realy wanted to understand it well. I improved, but can not say I understand it well. This book is redundent over redundency. It quote s individuals but not peer reviewed publications as the source, the only potentialy valid sources. I could recommend this book to a kid entering high school if s/he could last through the repetiveness of this book. One good point cramming is no good for most people to get high grades. Have a good s leep the night before the exam. If you are struggling lesson you course load and try not to have your hardest courses together during the same semester. Ithink I just summed up the main worthwhile point s in a paragraph and without taking a coursera course. If this is the quality of coursera courses,inspite of my inquisitive mind, I wont be taking any.

Historia
A definitive, deeply moving narrative, Bonhoeffer is a story of moral courage in the face of the monstrous evil that was Nazism. After discovering the fire of true faith in a Harlem church, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany and became one of the first to speak out against Hitler. As a double agent, he joined the plot to assassinate the Führer and was hanged in Flossenbürg concentration camp at age thirty-nine. Since his death, Bonhoeffer has grown to be one of the most fascinating, complex figures of the twentieth century.

This landmark study was first published in English by the Naval Institute in 1955. Widely acknowledged for its valuable Japanese insights into the battle that turned the tide of war in the Pacific, the book has made a great impact on American readers over the years. Two Japanese naval aviators who participated in the operation provide an unsparing analysis of what caused Japan's staggering defeat.

Historia
Here at last is a history of England that is designed to entertain as well as inform and that will delight the armchair traveler, the tourist, or just about anyone interested in history. No people have engendered quite so much acclaim or earned so much censure as the English: extolled as the Athenians of modern times, yet hammered for their self-satisfaction and hypocrisy. But their history has been a spectacular one.

Another foolish "neo-conservative " !
Revisado: 11-15-18
I have never really understood what a neoconservative is beyond being often Jewish like me but unlike me and most other American Jews, they lust for war as the only means of defending our democracy. Luckily Boot has scene were that leads and who the majority of his co travellor conservatives realy are. Most Neo Conservatives hung out in small intellectual isolated from the majority of conservatives and could not or refused to see who their conservative compatriots are. Refused to see, is actually incorrect; did not want to see is more truthful andv which explains why they needed the neo before the word conservative. They never wanted to be either Conservative nor Liberal which is why he and his small clique of friends are so unhappy with the election of President Trump and his many Republican followers.
Having labeled them selves for years as real Republicans they have no real political home in the current Trump party which is the logical outcome of the direction set by Reagan himself. I am not surprised. I taught for a school year in an upper midwest University which drew most of its students from rural towns and farming communities. It was the year when Ronald Reagan was running for his second term. I was exposed to the Republican dirty tricks that dominate the Republican party today.
I was not able to find any liberal leaning faculty member who was or wanted to be politically active. I found out why. Politically active liberal thinking faculty were not welcome.
Boot has found out thd truth about the truth about the Republican party. I saw it back then. Did he ever ask himself why he and his friends were not just conservatives. Why they needed the term neo and since they did they were back then had no home in the Republican party. Did he not see how the war in Iraq was built on lies; and if not why not.
We all learn from our mistakes.
For me it took years for me to learn how politics is mostly built on lies. I am no longer an active Democrat and I definitely have no place in the GOP. Join the crowd Max.

Historia
In Everything Trump Touches Dies, political campaign strategist and commentator Rick Wilson brings his darkly funny humor and biting analysis to the absurdity of American politics in the age of Trump. Wilson mercilessly exposes the damage Trump has done to the country, to the Republican Party he served for decades, and to the conservative movement that has abandoned its principles for the worst president in American history. No left-winger, Wilson is a lifelong conservative who delivers his withering critique of Trump from the right.

Historia
Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A groundbreaking account of accidents, near misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved - and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.

This book introduced me to the many many errors and mistakes by our government which came so close to nuclear dissasters in our country and in others. It shows how even many leaders of our military are now infavor of denuclearization because of the difficulty of keeping nuclear weapons from accidental armmegedon.

Great Read
Revisado: 06-14-18
Jeff Flake has lived his life try ing to follow the path of conservatives Arthur Goldwater and William F. Buckley. He claims that the Republicans today especially after the election of Pres. Trump, are not Conservatives and are even destructive. This a thoughtful and worth reading by liberals and conservatives !
