Exposure of the anti dad family courts.
This is a truly shocking story of what is believed to be the world's very worst child access case ever.

During this time, he got jailed twice for a total of 129 days for waving to his kids while their mother just ...

Dennis Milholland

Rage is healthy
I think Dennis Millhollands novel expresses, in a powerful fiction format, current issues and the frustrations of many people. Its an exciting read and his wit and insights must be born of a life rich in experience and education.

The Arrogance of the Modern: Historical Theology Held in Contempt

David W. Hall

Covenant Foundation, 1997

A powerful treatise on the necessity of wisdom of the past.
Recently, syndicated columnist Clarence Page was critical of the selection of the "100 Best English language novels" that had just been issued by ten panelists convened by Random House. In particular, he was concerned over the fact that only six books written in the past 25 years were included. Also, he was concerned that only six books were written by non-whites. When one realizes that books ...

The Breeding of Contempt: Account of the Largest Mass Murder in Washington, D.C. History

John W. King

Xlibris Corporation, 2003

A Great Insight About The Black Mafia
I was totally amazed that I had never heard about this terrible event. I never knew that there was a Black family massacred due to a religious war, and a subsequent hostage taking of citizens in Washington, D.C. This book was well written. John King is such a good story teller, and so brutally honest about his life in the witness protection program, as well as his life as a teenager trying to ...

Contempt (Film Ink)

Alberto Moravia

Prion, 1999

Faustian Bargain and the Unreliable Narrator
After a second reading of Contempt, I feel compelled to call the short, tautly written novel a masterpiece. Told from the perspective of a neurotic egotist, the narrator accounts how he "sacrificed" his literary writing career to debase himself in the tawdry task of writing screenplays so that he can afford to lavish his wife with a bigger more opulent living quarters. The narrator convinces ...

Stroud

Macmillan of Canada, 1992

must read for any canadian who cares about canada'a future
Mr. Stroud has shown this reader that the Canadian Justice system is not only a sick joke, but can affect all of our lives and the future of this country. He details specific cases of liberal judges whom, acting on their 'conscience', turn a blind eye to the violent offenders and young offenders(often one in the same) and make victims of us all. There is so much to learn from reading ...

Mark Curriden, Leroy Phillips

Faber & Faber, 1999

Scary moments of our past
When Leroy Phillips, Jr. came to visit my school in Chattanooga, I was overwhelmed by the knowledge that something like this could have happened in my city. After his talk, I decided to read the book for myself. At first, I noticed that the authors took a lot of time to research the subject thoroughly, so much so that I think they know more about Chattanooga than I do, keeping in mind Leroy ...

Christopher A. Darden, Jess Walter

Harpercollins, 1996

very inspiring
First off, Jess Walters is a wonderful writer. Very powerful writing. After reading the book, I have the upmost respect for Darden and his fight for justice. Although he could not achieve justice for Nicole Brown, I admire him for his heart. This is an easy book to read. Getting an insider look through the eyes of Darden is well worth your time. It inspires emotion and inspiration.

Catherine Crier

Rugged Land, 2005

Important Wake Up Call About The Right Wing Extremists Seeking To Take Over Our Judicial System
In "Contempt" Crier does an outstanding job of exposing the danger being posed by right-wingers, especially the Religious Right, in their attempt to take over the court system in America. She discusses the absurd statements and actions of well known evangelical nut cases such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. But she also talks about lesser known religious extremists who are using their power ...

The Tears of the White Man: Compassion As Contempt

1 review
Pascal Bruckner

The Free Press, A Division of Macmillan Inc., 1986

Must Read
Pascal Bruckner's The Tears of the White Man is an old school classic concerning the guilt westerners feel towards citizens of the third world. It also describes the guilt whites feel towards people of color in general, but is only vicariously applicable to the United States. An introduction by William Beer ties its narrative to the American experience but Bruckner himself, a Frenchmen, doesn't ...

Dan Abnett

Games Workshop, 2006

More good work from Abnett.
I liked it very much; not sure if it was because I always like Abnett or because I'd just finished that dreadful Descent of Angels book. Good plot development, just enough characters to make things diverse without losing any tension. Could have been a bit longer, but that's just me.

The teaching of contempt: Christian roots of anti-Semitism (McGraw-Hill paperbacks)

1 review
Jules Isaac

McGraw-Hill, 1965

A small work of great importance
This small work by Jules Isaac written orginally in French and ably translated by Helen Weaver makes a strong case for the idea that distortions of Christian teaching are behind the Christian Anti- Semitism which has proven so historically destructive. In the excellent biographical introduction by Claire Huchet Bishop she tells how Isaac who was a quite assimilated French Jew was moved by the ...

Mutual Contempt: Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, and the Feud That Defined a Decade

Jeff Shesol

W. W. Norton & Company, 1998

Mutual Contempt
With so many books about the Kennedys and LBJ, it is strange that this is the first to focus specifically on Bobby Kennedy's feud with Lyndon Johnson. Their animus was visible to all who knew them, from family and close advisors to junior staff and reporters. The hatred began before the 1960 campaign, but really seemed to blossom at the 1960 Democratic convention, when LBJ was chosen as John ...

Paul Nathanson, Katherine Young

McGill-Queen's University Press, 2006

A Much-Needed Book
This excellent book presents convincing evidence of the pervasiveness of misandry (contempt for men) in popular culture. Written in a very scholarly manner and carefully documented, it analyzes numerous movies, cartoons and tv shows to prove this point. The reader is clearly shown how men are ridiculed and insulted in virtually every advertisement, cartoon and movie by individuals (male and ...
