The National Experience: A History of the United States

7 reviews
John M. Blum, William S. McFeely, ...

Wadsworth Publishing, 1993

AP US History
I'm a sophmore in high school and I'm taking the Advanced Placement US History course. The book provides so much insight into the past; politially and socially, and gives first hand accounts and documents of the time periods. It is also a very helpful textbook when it comes to taking the AP test.

William Blum

Common Courage Press, 2005

Brilliant survey of US foreign policy
This is an indispensable guide to the domestic and foreign policies of the US state. In Part I, Blum analyses the US state's use of terrorists, particularly those who fought in Afghanistan, and its use of mass murderers like Pol Pot. In Part II, he analyses the US uses of weapons of mass destruction - bombing, depleted uranium, cluster bombs, chemical and biological weapons. In Part III, he ...

Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt

Tinwood Books, 2006

Architecture of a Quilt is a facinating and amazing book.
I am really enjoying reading and looking at the pictures of the quilts in this book. I have met several of the ladies and decendants of the Gee' Bend Quilters and find their stories so interesting. The quilts definitely do define the quilters, their strengths and weaknesses, their ups and downs. I recomend this book to anyone who holds quilts near and dear to their hearts.

Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War II-Updated Through 2003

29 reviews
William Blum

Common Courage Press, 2008

The Best Reference Out
The book does a great job showing the irony in the double-standards the US has used in its foreign policy since WWII, as State department officials confessed to (shown in the last chapter). This also makes for a more entertaining read than most other books on the topic. All together though, the book's use of these contradictions are just used to propel a central idea the author has, as stated in ...

7 reviews
William Blum

Common Courage Press, 2004

Brilliant essays on US state's violence and aggression

This book includes a selection ...

1 review
William Shakespeare

Acclaim Books, 1997

A humorous page turner
"The Course of true love did never run smoothe." Shakespeare's tale of four Athenian lovers and a fairy named Puck is a very funny play. I loved this story, it is a good love comedy that I would recomend to anyone who is a Shakespeare fan or a loves a good book. I would have to say that this book is for teens all the way to adults. Some of the content may not be OK for children

Killing Hope: U. S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II

William Blum

Common Courage Press, 1995

Great Book, Even if you Disagree
What conservatives and liberals are categorically guilty of is not reading literature that doesn't agree with their political opinions, that doesn't get mentioned in their political circles, in short; that isn't politically 'hip' to read. I wish more conservatives would read this book and ones like it, I for one actually read the literature of their movement. This book is especially good for ...

Acclaim Books, 1997

To thine own self be true ...
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CHIEFLY PERTAINS TO THE NEW FOLGER LIBRARY EDITION. William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is arguably the most famous play ever written in the English language; it presents the world with questions and characters that have been the subject of thespian and scholarly debate ever since the Prince of Denmark's first appearance on the stage of London's Globe Theatre. Probably written ...

West-Bloc Dissident: A Cold War Political Memoir

5 reviews
William Blum

Soft Skull Press, 2001

Cursed with a social conscience
This book relates the Homeric battle, not between the few and the many, but between the few powerful (who are in control of Imperialist America) and one individual (the author). Nearly all his fellow travellers left the noble cause. But he persisted and brought us such important and extremely revealing and painful books as 'Killing Hope' and 'Rogue State'. More, he is amazed that some fellow ...
