Jawanza Kunjufu

African American Images, 2004

Outstanding & timeless!! Parents really need to read this!
This an Dr. Kunjufu's many other books are exceptional in the fact that he details the facts straight to the point. I enjoy his methods of writing without pullng any punches. I wish that I had read this before my son started grade school, but now he is in the 4th grade and he went from being placed in special education, to a 4.0 dean's list GPA.

2 reviews
William Duiker

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1994

Fascinating account of the conflict from a new perspective
You won't find the information you get in "Sacred War" in many other books. Whereas most Vietnam literature concentrates on American decision-making, this book reminds us that there was another side to the Vietnam War. A very detailed account of Vietminh and Viet Cong thinking and insightful as into why we didn't win the war.

Refuting Evolution: A Handbook for Students, Parents, and Teachers Countering the Latest Arguments for ...

91 reviews
Jonathan Sarfati, Ken Ham

Master Books, 1999

Excellent critique of evolution-taught-as-fact
I'm glad I read the reviews here before writing this. The attacks by several of the reviewers on Sarfati's book serve only to underscore the blind indoctrination that characterizes evolutionary theory (key word in this sentence: "theory"). While Sarfati's book is not without some eyebrow-raising statements and logical gaps, his critique of evolution-taught-as-fact is powerful and undeniable. ...

Wayne Grudem

Multnomah Books, 2006

A Timely Response
When I purchased this ~300 page book, I did not realize that it was a condensation and slight updating of a much larger work by the same author, titled: "Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth: An Analysis of More Than 100 Disputed Questions." This book is reduced to about 40 key questions, and it covered most if not all the main arguments that I have heard put forward. Even at 300 pages, this ...

1 review
Seth G. Jones

RAND Corporation, 2008

Growing Consensus
There appears to be a growing consensus within the U.S. Counter-Terrorism Community that the strategy formulated under the rubric, "Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT) has been a costly failure. As this latest Rand Corporation study makes clear, the al Qaeda movement against which the GWOT was in theory directed has actually grown stronger since 9/11 in spite of or because of the GWOT. In this ...

ACM IV Security Services

Paladin Press, 2008

Mastering the Art and Science of Surveillance Detection and Antisurveillance
I would never have thought of doing a book review, but when I saw a very critical review of this publication, I thought it was necessary, as I know the author and his very stellar credentials as an expert in the field. First, I agree that the first two ACM IV publications are very valuable resources, particularly for security professionals. However, the review appears to miss the point, as ...

Peter Katona, John P. Sullivan

Books on Confrontation in World not in short supply

Eric D. Svendsen

Calvary Press, 2007

Right On
Being a former Roman Catholic myself, I found this book very helpfull. The previous review was 100% correct.Well written, and to the point. It does what it says it's gonna do. It tends to deal with logic which is a interesting aproach, but effective. Answers demolish the arguments forwarded by the Roman Catholic Church.
