The Turner Diaries: A Novel147 reviews
Andrew MacDonald, Dr. William Pierce

Barricade Books, 1996

The book is great, as always, but this is a different cover.

Everyone else has commented on the book, but I'll comment on the publisher's addition. On the cover the publisher, Barricade Books, has added their own words to the cover, in large red print, above the title of the book. The addendum reads: "This book contains racist propaganda. The FBI said it was ...

Revolt Against the Modern World22 reviews
Julius Evola

Inner Traditions, 1995

Evola's Masterwork

+ The Revolting Modern World

Revolt Against the Modern World is Julius Evola's masterwork and "must reading" for anybody interested in his ideas. Very difficult to give a "synopsis" of this book as it is deep with wisdom regarding what passes as "history". It's not often one reads a book that seriously challenges one's ...

Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation37 reviews
Stephen Mitchell

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Poetry makes a difference

+ Meditation literature
+ ***Excellent Book Finally***

There is a lot to be said about the poetic approach in this translation. The spell-binding rhythms and "turns of phrase" in the original sanskrit may not be perfectly reproduced, but Mitchell made me realize that the repetition- slightly different each time, was like a flower opening, giving subtle ...

Kamikaze: Japan's Suicide Samurai2 reviews
Raymond Lamont-Brown

Book Sales, 2004

The best book in English on the Subject

I have read many works on Japan's special attack units, and this is the best. The book is lucid, fact-filled, and objective. As for the so-called "spelling errors" mentioned by the other reviewer, the author is British! British spelling is different!

Guerrilla Warfare: Authorized Edition56 reviews
Ernesto Che Guevara, Harry "Pombo" Villegas

Ocean Press, 2006

How does it end? He dies.

This guy was educated, but not smart enough to follow his own preaching. He separated himself from his popular base, communist/leftist college students, and went out to help aid the people. If he had paid attention in Guerilla Warfare 101 (read: On Guerilla Warfare by Mao Tse Tung) he would done ...
