Scandal

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group

Daniel Estulin

Trine Day, 2007

'The Open Society and its Enemies' revisited
Sir K. Popper has always stressed that general conspiracy- and complot theories were pure imaginations of bogus historians and paralyzed politicians. He also stated that the only justification for taking up arms was to defend democracy. Well, in this book Daniel ...

Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September ...

Steve Coll

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004

Fascinating and well-researched history
Though Osama Bin Laden became a household name after the 9-11 attacks, few people know the background of Afghanistan and the mujahideen fighters that birthed these radical groups. This book gives a well-researched, in-depth look into the interplay of the Cold War, the ...

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters

James W. Douglass

Orbis Books, 2008

Remember what Santayana Said
This reviewer raptly read Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement, Jim Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins: My Investigation and Prosecution of the Murder of President Kennedy, and Jim Mars' Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy when they were first published. This ...

Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA

Richard C. Hoagland, Mike Bara

Feral House, 2007

Good as Far As It Goes
The authors bite off a bit more more than they can chew in this book, but they deserve praise for making the effort to uncover the black hole known as NASA. People who think the face and the pyramids at Cydonia are natural rock formations are the same people who think ...

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

John Perkins

Plume, 2005

Very thought provoking.
I enjoyed the way the author tied details of modern history to the events of his life. Very thought provoking. I think it is striking the way the individuals who critique it for a lack of statistics provide none of their own.

The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America

Jim Marrs

William Morrow, 2008

Entertaining and Regrettably NOT Unbelievable
I read this book in a weekend and couldn't bring myself to put it down. The case made by the author at first seems like fantastic fiction, but alarmingly, as the chapters begin to relate to events closer to current history you begin to feel the rug being pulled out ...

The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the Exposé

David Ray Griffin

Olive Branch Press, 2008

Great Writers Unify Human Understanding through Clarity
"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." -- Buddha At some point the body politic of the Western world will realize that both oil and war over oil are not only unnecessary, but are absolutely ...

The Book of Scandal

Julia London

Pocket, 2008

Julia London scores again
The Earl and Countess of Lindsey have been married for years. Unable to cope with, accept, deal with the death of their toddler son, the two drift apart and become estranged. Nathan remains at the country home, Eastchurch while Evelyn flees to London. But with ...

The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom

David Kupelian

WND Books, 2005

Must Read!!!
Finally, someone has seen fit to be honest with the American public about the manipulations we are fed on a daily basis.

Rule by Secrecy: The Hidden History That Connects the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, and the Great ...

Jim Marrs

Harper Paperbacks, 2001

All I can say is,"WOW"
I have never written a review on a book before. But this book has me feeling so enlightened I felt I needed to share. I've never had a book make me think and rethink everything I've ever learned about history. THis book is a MUST READ for everyone, not just in ...

Sellevision: A Novel

Augusten Burroughs

Picador, 2003

Entertaining
Enjoyable and easy to read, though I didn't find it hilarious like some of the other reviews. Found some of the characters to be quite true to life, and reflected some of the horror of TV hosts that we are subjected to on these shopping networks!

Before the Scandal: The Notorious Gentlemen (Avon Historical Romance)

Suzanne Enoch

Avon, 2008

Romance and Action combined
Many romances are written mostly from the heroine's point of view; not surprising as most of the readers are likely women. This romance is written at least equally from the point of the hero, if not primarily from his perspective. That, plus his efforts to discover ...

Breath of Scandal

Sandra Brown

Grand Central Publishing, 1991

Best Brown yet.
I've read about 5 or 6 Sandra Brown novels, and this one was my favorite yet. A lot of Brown's novels follow the same template especially for the mystery/suspense ones. Where the killer/bad guy turns out to be a very minor charactor who you know nothing about until ...

Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry

Gail A. Eisnitz

Prometheus Books, 2006

Confirming the gross-ness
This book just confirms the other reading I have done on the subject. Read it if you are ready to get the facts and stop ignoring what I like to refer to as the "gross-ness" of the meat and dairy industry (both in terms of the animals' treatment, and the impact for ...

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan: Eyewitness Accounts of the Occupations

Iraq Veterans Against the War

Haymarket Books, 2008

Well written, important historical book
Aaron Glantz, and Iraq Veterans Against the War, have written an extremely important historical document of the Winter Soldier hearings. Here are a few of my comments from a review I did of the book for Inter Press Service (IPS): Aside from the Iraqi people, nobody ...
