The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?
Francisco Goldman
Grove Press
, 2008
an outstanding book
I'm surprised by David Stoll's review of Goldman's book. I had a very different reaction when I read it. Like both Stoll and Goldman, I have lived in Guatemala and written about the history and impact of political violence in the country. In addition, as a human ...
Avengers: The Initiative Volume 2 - Killed In Action Premiere HC (New Avengers)
Dan Slott
,
Stefano Caselli
Marvel Comics
, 2008
Harsh times
Avengers: The Initiative was originally conceived as a mini-series, but the longer that the series goes on, the better it seems to get. In the chaotic Killed in Action, with drill instructor Gauntlet out of comission, the recruits get the Taskmaster as their new ...
Who Killed Bobby?: The Unsolved Murder of Robert F. Kennedy
Shane O'Sullivan
Union Square Press
, 2008
Cleans the CIA-LAPD Stables; No Small Task!
I strongly recommend that readers read O'Sullivans new book, Who Killed Bobby. There is a lot of new information, not only on the new Times/ Discovery channel balistics test that argues 13 shots--Sirhan's gun had eight-- but also invaluable updated interviews with ...

The Death of the United States Constitution.
Let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. - Thomas Jefferson. _Who Killed the Constitution: The Fate of American Liberty from World War I to George W. Bush_, published in 2008, by Thomas E. Woods ...
First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (P.S.)
Loung Ung
Harper Perennial
, 2006
Powerful story about survival
Wow, I was blown away by this book. Despite the virtually universal good reviews, this book sat on my desk for months. I wasn't sure I was up to reading about the horrors of Pol Pot. I have seen the pictures of the Killing Fields and read about it before. But my ...
We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda
Philip Gourevitch
Picador
, 1999
Never Again - Again and Again
Perhaps it should surprise me less that locales once mauled by basest violence are often grotesquely tranquil: the soothing splash of waves at the D-Day beaches of Normandy; silently drifting snow flakes settling in a white shroud over Auschwitz, Majdanek, and ...
Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.
Barr McClellan
Hannover House
, 2003
Motive and means
I've read quite a few books on the JFK assassination. This one makes the most sense to me. The book doesn't go into a lot of technical detail like the ballistics, Zapruder Film, witnesses, medical evidence, etc. I think that trying to "prove" who carried out the ...
A Mighty Heart
Mariane Pearl
Scribner
, 2003
Personalizing Terrorism With Honesty and Passion...Sadly True
Even after seeing Michael Winterbottom's compelling 2007 film adaptation starring Angelina Jolie, I cannot imagine the unrelenting nightmare Mariane Pearl, five months pregnant, must have felt for those endless weeks back in early 2002 when her husband, Wall Street ...
Who Killed Health Care?: America's $2 Trillion Medical Problem - and the Consumer-Driven Cure
Regina Herzlinger
McGraw-Hill
, 2007
Tip of the iceberg, see the image
I've been thinking about publishing a book on health intelligence, and borrowed this from a colleague. My contribution will be the image I created while thinking about what the book should look like--the inner square was co-created with another person. This book ...
Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy
Jim Marrs
Basic Books
, 1993
JFK's Assassination
If you really want to know what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas and why the President was murdered, then get this book. Jim Marrs does not give us another crazy theory about what took place that day. He thoroughly interviewed many witnesses and wrote what they ...
I Killed: True Stories of the Road from America's Top Comics
Ritch Shydner
,
Mark Schiff
Three Rivers Press
, 2007
I Killed....I laughed...a lot!
Having known Ritch for a long time and being a fan of comedy, every story he has ever told me has been entertaining. For him to have compiled a book with stories from the people he knows and then share them with the world, I truely enjoyed it.
The Pitch That Killed
Mike Sowell
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
, 2004
Outstanding Documentation of Baseball History
To this day, Ray Chapman remains the only player to have died as a result of injuries sustained on a baseball field. While the intentions of pitcher Carl Mays may be open to debate, Mays threw the pitch which fractured Chapman's skull and ultimately caused his death. ...
Stalin and His Hangmen: The Tyrant and Those Who Killed for Him
Donald Rayfield
Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 2005
Stalin: The Red Satan and his unspeakably evil minions are indicted before the Bar of Human Justice and condemned to infamy
Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) was Ivan the Terrible with a copy of Karl Marx in his hand. In fact, Stalin (Russian for "steel") was much worse than Ivan. Under Stalin's dictatorship the Soviet Union underwent years of murders; shootings; forced removal of millions of ...
I Killed Adolf Hitler
Jason
Fantagraphics
, 2007
My first exploration of Jason
Perhaps the reason I think so positively about this book is that it was my first time reading a story by Jason, but either way it was a very enjoyable read. There's a beautiful play of the way we interpret words and images because his personified or anthropomorphized ...

Flipping burgers and driving taxis
