I FIRST READ R-F-W IN 1992, I HAVE SINCE READ THE NOVEL 10 TIMES. AS A CIVIL WAR BUFF I REALLY ENJOYED THE WESTERN FRONTIER BATTLES.

An important book for anyone serious about the reality of survival and violence.

Hershel and the Hanukkah goblins24 reviews
Eric A Kimmel
Frank Schaffer Publications, 1994
Not Just for the Jewish
I love books and I do not discriminate. This is a book about a simple man who looked monsters in the eye, and bested them all. He believed in himself and his God and triumphed. As an African-American and a Christian the value of this lesson is no less impressive to me.

AMACOM, 2007
An ethical approach to parenting
Despite such a large portion of our population not being religious, it is a shame not enough of these books have been published for the secular community.

The Quiet American (Critical Library, Viking)21 reviews
Graham Greene
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1996
Greene the Prophet
Grahame Greene's THE QUIET AMERICAN is so eerily accurate regarding Vietnam that a textual
critic might believe the novel was written in 1976 and not 1956. What isn't surprising is that Greene's prose sparkles, and for him, a rather first rate plot. A classic in every sense.

John Milton

Review of the Buccaneer Books Library Binding edition
My review is of the library binding edition released by Buccaneer Books. It is a very plain and small volume which is wonderfully bound. It contains nothing but the poem itself (including the prose arguments) with the original spelling and punctuation. That means no notes, commentary, or introduction, so if you're looking for lots of in-text help, this isn't what you want. The Fowler, Hughes, or ...
