Outstanding for dealing w/ all interpersonal relationships!
Analyzes many of the everyday contacts we have as people. NOT JUST FOR MARITAL SITUATIONS! I read this back in the early seventies, and still feel it's one of the best books for anyone in any kind of personal relationship. Very 'down to earth' in helping get past the confusion and frustration we find in argumentative situations and everyday expectations. Especially, if you're involved in a ...

An accurate explanation of U. S. foreign policy failures then and now
Given the current situation of the United States in Iraq and the circumstances as to how the U. S. got involved, one would think that it was a historical abnormality. However, in reading accurate histories and this book it is all too clear that it is not. For many different reasons, some noble and honest, but others simply due to greed and stupidity, the U. S. government has consistently lied to ...

I SAW IT HAPPEN
In 1967 and 1968 I was stationed with the U.S. Air Force at a secret base in north eastern Thailand. I picked up a copy of Sarkhan in the BX. I had been making covert trips into Laos where I started reading the book while waiting to be picked up in the afternoon by Air America. The book was "fiction" but I felt I was "living" each and every page I read. It was eerie to say the least. No ...

I can't believe every American hasn't read this!
The term "ugly American" gets thrown around a lot, but most people have never read the book. What surprises me is that, with our problems in Iraq and the rest of the world, every military and civilian leader is not quoting the book extensively. It is a blueprint for what went wrong in Vietnam (written before Vietnam) and now Iraq. Won't we learn? Not great literature, but a great read. ...

Truth( not fiction) this book also became a prediction.
I first read this book while I was in Southeast Asia in late 1967 or early 1968. It was a shocker. I was living this book "in the flesh" even as I read it. Originally titled, "Sarkhan" it could easily have been Viet Nam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, or Burma. While I wasn't a major player I experienced much of what was written by Msrs. Lederer and Burdick. I was stationed in northern ...

A Must Read for Iraq
I am disappointed that this is not in print apparently. The book is great for taking what happened or in 68 what was happening and see what this guy has to say about it in Vietnam. Then, voila, just look to Iraq. For instance if you read 'the initiative has passed from the insurgents to the American forces and their allies' you'd think maybe it was Rummy telling us about the Iraqi Army. But it ...
