Looking For Trouble: Adventures in a Broken World
Ralph Peters
Stackpole Books, 2008
A great adventure from a master story-teller
Ralph Peter's book should be required reading for every Marxism-besotted and multiculturalism-drunk humanities department in the United States. He stumbled upon an elemental truth in a youthful visit to Tito's Yugoslavia with its communism-lite: "There was nothing ...

New Glory : Expanding America's Global Supremacy
Ralph Peters, 2005
Prophetic
I find the breathe of his knowledge and his ability to weave current Middle Eastern events into the context of history to be astonishing. One of the best books I've ever read.

McMinn's Color Atlas of Human Anatomy (McMinn's Clinical Atls of Human Anatomy)
Peter H. Abrahams, Sandy C. Marks, ...
Mosby, 2002
A great resource
I really enjoyed the amount of detail in books such as these. My only trigger is that you will find some information lacking. I have yet to find a whole anatomy book with EVERYTHING. Ofcourse I do have to emphasize that you'd need a special need to have more detail ...

The War in 2020
Ralph Peters
Pocket, 1992
Hope they could write a movie....
I first picked up this book when I was in high school. Being a military junkie (the history, battles, weapons, personalities, etc.) I bought War in 2020 expecting the usual 'techno-thriller' fare - the genre where the practice of military hardware in action ...

Walden and Other Writings (Modern Library Classics)
Henry David Thoreau, Peter Matthiessen
Modern Library, 2000
FIVE STARS FOR THE GIRL IN WYOMING!
I have no intention of reviewing the writings of Thoreau. The way I figure it is this : if you don't "get it" (and the world around us clearly testifies that few do), I'm not about to explain it. Besides, several other reviewers here have already done a very ...

Marvel Comics, 2007
The next chapter in a great collection of stories.
Marvel Two-In-One was an opportunity for Marvel to continue on the "Team-Up" bandwagon of the 70s using The Thing as the stable character throughout. While the first volume of this collection dealt mostly with one-shot stories, this second volume picks up as the series ...

Traitor
Ralph Peters
Stackpole Books, 2004
Contractors Can Really Be Traitors
After 25 years in the defense industry, watching the Services buy big things they don't need while neglecting small things they do (like enough pay so the troops don't have to be on food stamps), it continues to disturb me that the American taxpayer continues to allow ...

Red Army
Ralph Peters
Pocket, 1990
Yamabushi's mini reviews pt. XIII
Much more than just `Red Strom Rising' from the soviet side. This is easily one of the best `war' books I've ever read, fiction or non. You will not be disappointed.
