This book outlines the career of an evil and utterly ruthless man who emerged from being a key figure in a guerrilla war fought against white minority rule, to engineering through intimidation and terror a victory in Zimbabwe's first all-inclusive elections over the moderate Abel Muzorewa's United African national Congress and Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People's Union. After returning to Salisbury on January 27, 1980. after five years in exile, Mugabe was given a hero's welcome by a large crowd bearing banners with images of rocket grenades, land mines and guns, many wearing youth T shirts with the Kalashnikov rifle, which Mugabe's Marxist Zimbabwe African National Union party had wanted to use as an emblem, but which the ...

I have to admit, when I first saw this book, I HAD to buy it because it covers an area which is generally under-researched in Western literature. It skilly describes the escape route for many Nazis and their non-German collaborators after WW2. It is interesting to note how 100's escaped to Juan Peron's pro-Nazi Argentina, including members of the Belgian Rexist Party, French Vichy Regime and Croatian Ustashi. It also demonstrates Pope Pius XII's connection to the Nazi escape routes, to a great degree organised by Catholic clergymen, such as Father Krunoslav Draganovic and Father Alois Hudal. Those who constantly claim that the highest elements of the Catholic Church weren't anti-Semitic and didn't support the Nazis are kidding themselves and are ... Read More:

Just as the prequel to this book, 'Experience', directed a lot of its attention towards death, particulalry that of the author's father in the final 80 pages or so, this book does the same, which is no surprise considering it is about Stalin. The deaths of Amis' father and sister are also mentioned at the beginning and end, as Amis sets out to debunk Stalin's maxim that 'The death of one person is tragic, the death of a million a mere statistic'. As the subtitle to the book suggests - 'Laughter and the Twenty Million' - the book is also interested in laughter. Amis asks us why we feel it is ok to make jokes about Communist times in Russia; the Gulag; the activities of Lenin and Stalin, whereas to make a joke about Hitler or the holocaust ... Read More:

158.The Condition of the Working Class in England (Oxford World's Classics) by: Friedrich Engels April 29, 1999

In The Condition of the Working Class in England Engels immerses himself into the hitherto hidden world of the working class in Victorian Manchester. In doing this Engels who was in Manchester to look after the Engel's families manufacturing interests lays the foundations of modern urban theory. Engels work attempts to use vivid descriptions of sights and smells in a brave attempt to stir the middle class redership from their denials and force them to acknowledge the existance of such poor conditions for their fellow man. Engels language however, betrays him as adopting a similar style to a colonial explorer of the same era 'discovering' what had only been hidden from the eyes of the middle class European male. Engels also pours scorn on some of his ... Read More:

having read some of the reviews of chomsky,s work,i am amazed at the lack of understanding of some people.having studied economics,politics&history i have no problem understanding chomsky. let me enlighten some of reviewers:- 1)countries are run by powerful elites(usually the wealthy) 2)powerful interests do not have to get together to control a country,they ensure in a democracy,that the people we elect,they pay for do what they want 3)if you believe that at election time you sticking an x next to your prefered canditate is going to having any meaning,you are going to be very disappointed. 4)i come from a country that is controlled by 14 land owning families,they are also in government,controlling all key sectors of the economy,even though ...

Having lived abroad for 10 years away from China, I was very curious to read about the history of the culture revolution and what exactly happened there and then. I knew very little except the bits and pieces parents generation mentioned, hence it was an excellent opportunity to get down to the facts, timelines and true reasons behind. Dr Li gave an excellent insight to what happened during the 22 years of his service to Mao as his personal physician. It answered many of my questions I had and helped me to understand what environment my parents' generation grow up in. I would recommend this book to others who is also curious as me.
