I hope you are intrigued by the title of this post and the link below and read on! Go to the below link last. Is the Bible your puppet? Exegesis vs. Eisegesis. I’ve been slowly going through Robert Spencer’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades. One interesting feature is how Spencer will [ READ MORE ]
You know a book is a good read when you finish it and wish you had another 500 pages to go. Such was the case when I finished Anthony Beevor’s treatment on the Normandy Invasion(D-Day: The Battle for Normandy). Beevor’s previous two works dealt with the Eastern Front both of which I read. One dealt [ READ MORE ]
I’m continuing to read Anthony Beevor‘s excellent treatment of D-Day. Beevor makes frequent reference to the “Ostbattalions” stationed in France in 1944. Ostbattlions were battalions of east European soldiers recruited from prisoners of war recruited by the Germans to fight for them. This is not as odd as it seems. It even occurred in the [ READ MORE ]
I’ve been reading Antony Beevor‘s, D-Day, The Battle for Normandy. Beevor is a well-known British historian and pokes a bit of fun at both Americans and Brits with their different foibles during WW2. For example he quotes Churchill when Churchill famously said, “The Americans always do the right after exhausting all other possibilities.” That cracks [ READ MORE ]
I just finished Laura Hildebrand’s Unbroken, a World War II story of survival, resilience, and redemption. Unbroken is the story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic class runner who served in World War II as a bombardier on a B-24. I found this book hard to put down. Usually I have three or four books going at the same time as [ READ MORE ]

On September 23rd I wrote an article that explained I had ten books that I wanted to read while recovering from a surgery. Ten books were a bit optimistic but as most book-a-holics know you never want to run short of a good read. Well, I finished one, Area 51-An Uncensored History of America’s Top [ READ MORE ]
I was in the first grade in 1960 and attended a Catholic School. Even as a first grader who knew nothing of politics I was acutely aware of the raging controversy over the 1960 election. Would America elect a Roman Catholic to the office of President of the United States? John F. Kennedy of course became the [ READ MORE ]
I’ve known for months that I’d be laid up for at least six weeks following my surgery. What I did is what every book freak would do in such a circumstance-hoard books to read while recovering. You wouldn’t want to run out now would you? A fellow hoarder will get that. So what I am optimistically hoping [ READ MORE ]
Turkey: Warships will back next flotilla – Israel News, Ynetnews. Update: Today 9/9/11 Egyptians attacked the Israeli Embassy causing the Israeli ambassador to flee. Egyptian police stood by and did nothing to intervene. The Moslem Brotherhood is big in Egypt. This further makes the point I make in the rest of this post. The headline [ READ MORE ]
