Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today
Tom Brokaw
Random House
, 2007
Ignore the negative reviews - this is as even as you can get
I'm guessing that the negative comments came from people who are only happy when a book totally trashes everything liberal and glorifies everything conservative. That's not what this book is about, but it is about as even handed as one could attempt. As opposed to what ...

Celeste Fremon
, Tom Brokaw
University of New Mexico Press
, 2004
Simple, straightforward story about one of the saints among us
This book is quite unlike any other that I have read on crime or gangs, both in style and in substance. The style is very simple. Fremon makes no attempt to be objective. She makes no effort to put the story into any larger context. She does not come across like ...

Jamie Wyeth
Bulfinch

The Two Greatest Wyeths
This book shows the comparison of grandfather (N.C) and grandson's (Jamie) work. An excellent study. I have always considerend N.C.'s work superior to any of the other Wyeths, Andrew specifically and in particular. This book pretty much affirms it. Check it out.
