Haunting in its style and substance
This is probably my favorite book of modern fiction. I love it! I read it and laugh and think and fall away to another time and another culture. The lead character of Mojamaje and his friends and family have stayed with me for years - a happy haunting because I fell in love with them. I take heart from the way these characters deal with a confusing, cruel world, and - as unlikely as it sounds, I ...

Napoleon's Glance: The Secret of Strategy (Nation Books)

Fascinating, useful, and well-written!
... This is a great history of social entrepreneurs, military leaders, and other great strategists who figured out how to get what they wanted. Great short chapters on Joan of Arc, Patton, Alice Paul and the suffragists, Japan, and even Picasso and Matisse. Turned out for me to be an excellent source of fun cocktail party chatter. But it is a very very good and unusual kind of self-help book. ...

A well-written look into another world
William Duggan's sequel to "The Great Thirst" is one of my favorite books of all time. The honesty, humor, and trials of his characters are refreshing when compared to the cyncism that plagues our own culture. Ada and her sisters are great symbols of the inevitable clash of cultures that is Africa and the world. Inevitable because we cannot go back - and melancholy for the same reason. But the ...
