Quartered Safe Out Here: A Recollection of the War in Burma

26 reviews
George MacDonald Fraser

Harpercollins, 1994

Extraordinary Memoir of "The Forgotten Army"
George MacDonald Fraser, best known for his Flashman novels, and, in my opinion, one of our best writers, gives us here his nearly fifty-year-old memories of his service in Burma in 1945. There is so much to like about this book that it's difficult to know where to begin. There is Fraser's absolute honesty about his fears, his mistakes, his attitude toward the Japanese, and the virtues and ...

I Married Wyatt Earp: Recollections of Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp

Josephine Earp

University of Arizona Press, 1982

Fresh perspective on Wyatt Earps Life
The so-called controversy around this book has been discussed to exhaustion in my opinion. For those who cant seem to understand the how and why of this book, I offer this suggestion: Move on and let it go. There's no need for me to defend a book that needs no defense. For those seeking to learn some truths about Wyatt Earp and to view his life from the angle of someone close to him, this is an ...

Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook: Recipes and Recollections from the Pit Bosses

21 reviews
Robb Walsh, 2002

Loved it
I'm a Texan living in CA and it made me homesick. Beautifully designed and well written. Many BBQ books are full of impossible recipes but this book seems mangeable. I love the history he explains, which I didn't know, and I'm a BBQ nut! Thoroughly recommended.

Sidney Schwab

Frog Books, 2006

Terrific!
I bought this as a gift for my son, currently attending medical school. I happened to look through the book before wrapping it up and became so engrossed I had to read it cover to cover, trying hard to be very careful not to crease the pages or spine. A slop of coffee spilled on a page as I shook with laughter at one of the stories in the book, gave away that I was now gifting a not so pristine ...

Hit Me, Fred: Recollections of a Sideman

Fred Wesley

Duke University Press, 2002

Fred's Funk
Fred Wesley is "THE MAN". Here is a musical funk legend who has really paid his dues. He was the glue that kept the Funk going strong despite of James's legendary self-righteous super-ego and his harsh tyranny ways that interferred with the creative freedom and progressive potential of the most talented musicians that God has ever put on earth. James invented Funk which I will give him the ...

Evenings With Cary Grant: Recollections in His Own Words and by Those Who Knew Him Best

20 reviews
Nancy Nelson

Warner Books, 1993

A beautiful life.
It is no easy thing to become so successful in one's career and yet be universally loved and respected as Cary Grant was in his lifetime. Thanks to the author for focusing on the good of the man and ignoring the rest. He was a good man and that is enough. Ms. Nelson does a good job in giving us an idea of who the man really was--a gentleman who was loyal to his friends, if not his ...

In Praise of Older Women: The Amorous Recollections of A. V (Phoenix Fiction Series)

Stephen Vizinczey

University Of Chicago Press, 1990

Some Observations on In Praise of Older Women
I have just read In Praise of Older Women for the second time. Many reviewers have drawn attention to the wisdom contained in this little book, which slyly presents itself as a breviary for young men without lovers. I am reluctant to insist on its status as "an erotic classic," for fear that to do so would confine it to a very narrow context. Indeed, the erotic scenes do not constitute the heart ...

Ivan Paul Mehosky

Rutledge Books, 2001

Above and Beyond
The Story Of A Soldier, by Ivan Paul Mehosky is a wonderful first person account of a heroic officer who knew how to fight and get the better of the enemy, and knew how to prepare men for war so they could fight as a team with the proper attitude, inflict great damage on the enemy, and have a chance to survive the hell of combat. Mehosky's creed, "you fight like you train, and repetition of tasks ...

Brenda Rhodes Miller

Putnam Adult, 2001

This is a wonderful book.
I came across this book while weeding the large print collection. I took a moment to leaf through it, and I was amazed. This is a gorgeous book, filled with history, photos, and tasty recipes -- and the writing in it is very clever. This is a special book, more than just a cookbook. I would highly recommend checking it out, but you better not read it hungry!

Secrets, Lies, Betrayals: The Body/Mind Connection

Maggie Scarf

Random House, 2004

A profoundly informative book.
I am considered a successful woman, educated and accomplished, yet like many others, suffered significant physical and emotional abuse as a child of old world parents. While there is a wide variety of therapy and therapists, I never felt successful at it. I never felt free of the "deep feelings of rejection", or cured of depression. I was profoundly affected by reading this book and was ready to ...

Matina K. Psyhogeos

iUniverse, Inc., 2003

Bestseller for sure!!!
Narrating the dreadful events from the vantage point of a child and making them sound so incredibly interesting it's a feat by itself. The author had my attention immediately and made me yearn for more. I had to finish it all in one reading and yet I did not want it to end. All the stories are superb. I wish people in power,along with those who get satisfaction in creating turmoil through ...
