Completely Mad: A History of the Comic Book and Magazine10 reviews Ed Reidelbach MJF Books, 1997 What - me sentimental?? It seems grossly inappropriate to get so sentimental about something as UNsentimental as Mad, but that's how I feel. This is SUCH an entertaining book; a very well-told history of Mad spanning its first forty years (1952-1992). The excerpts are generous, many of them in colour on nice glossy ...             The Washing Of The Spears: The Rise And Fall Of The Zulu Nation25 reviews Donald R.

I was dazzled immediately, in the very first inning, by both the prose and the great photos. The most amazing thing (to me anyway)is Nemec's historical report.
