A Tragedy of Lies, Genocide, and WMD
Lando begins by telling us that numerous world leaders have contributed to the mess in Iraq, beginning with its illogical formation after WWI. However, most "Web of Deceit" focuses on the actions of Bush I and Bush II, particularly the former. Readers sense that both ...

Reza Negarestani
re.press
, 2008
Horror of the Middle East
I first read about this book on a blog and what attracted me to it was the list of blurbs it has received. Cyclonopedia contains the most promising compilation of blurbs I have seen for any work, starting from the pulp bestseller China Miéville to the cult director ...

On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health
Jerome P. Kassirer
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2005
A must read, and unfortunately very accurate
Having retired after 25 years in the health care business, I was encouraged to see a physician call it like it is. Normally doctors are protective of their profession, all while recognizing that there are a few bad apples in the field. It's the 80-20 rule all over ...

Ballantine Books
, 2006
Plenty of Blame to Go Around
Having read approx. 50 books on the history of slavery as it relates to the colonies and later the USA, I've always known that an essential piece of the puzzle was missing. I'm a southerner, born in Texas but with all of my ancestors from KY and VA. I'm a VMI grad ...

Speed read this after the first couple chapters. It weren't bad, but it weren't interesting...enough.
Western Women and Imperialism: Complicity and Resistance (A Midland Book)
Nupur Chaudhuri
Indiana University Press
, 1992
""Western Women and Imperialism" provides fascinating insights into interactions and attitudes between western and non-western women, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an important contribution to the field of women's studies and (primarily British) imperial history, in that many of the essays explore problems of cross-cultural ...
Genocide in Rwanda: Complicity of the Churches?
Paragon House Publishers
, 2004
Good Read, But Could Have Been Better
Don't get me wrong, this is an important book to read, but I think the editors could have done a better job of well, editing. This is because many of the essays contained in the book start with a very similar introduction of the facts that lead up to what occurred: ...
Complicity
Iain Banks
Simon & Schuster
, 2002
Fascinating Perspective
This is the first of Bank's non-SciFi novels that I have read. His Culture series of stories had me so roped in, I thought I would give his 'regular' fiction a try...I was not disappointed. This is an action packed thriller that keeps changing the reader's ...
Complicities: The Intellectual and Apartheid (Philosophy and Postcoloniality)
Mark Sanders
Duke University Press
, 2002
Complicities explores the complicated?even contradictory?position of the intellectual who takes a stand against political policies and ideologies. Mark Sanders argues that intellectuals cannot avoid some degree of complicity in what they oppose and that responsibility can only be achieved with their acknowledgment of this complicity. He examines ...
Silence Is Complicity
Torin, M Finser
Steiner Books
, 2007
Albert Szent-Györgyi: "Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought." Goethe: "We see only what we know." Society debates, legislates, and regulates education more than it does any other profession. It has become popular to think that democracy gives everyone an equal say in educational ...
Vicious Circle: A Novel of Complicity
Robert Littell
Blackstone Audiobooks
, 2006
A Thriller with Brains
Robert Littell has survived the passing of the Cold War era far better than others who flourished in that hall of mirrors, like John LeCarre. In `Vicious Circle', Littell explores Arab-Israeli relations that often seem like the embrace of mutual death. On the eve ...
"Complicity with Evil": The United Nations in the Age of Modern Genocide
Adam LeBor
Yale University Press
, 2008
Mixed Bag
This book excites conflicting emotions and thoughts in me. On one hand, I have little use for the UN as a force for security in the world. Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Iraq, and Darfur have convinced me that if I ever was told that my life was in the hands of the UN, I ...
