The Turner Diaries: A Novel 147 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 World 22 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 Translation 37 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 Samurai 2 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 Edition 56 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 ...
