Worth Buying.......2000-06-11
I was completely touched by this book. El leerlo en espanol es aun mas bonito.
Book Description
Gerald Linderman has created a seamless and highly original social history, authoritatively recapturing the full experience of combat in World War II. Drawing on letters and diaries, memoirs and surveys, Linderman explores how ordinary frontline American soldiers prepared for battle, related to one another, conceived of the enemy, thought of home, and reacted to battle itself. He argues that the grim logic of protracted combat threatened soldiers not only with the loss of limbs and lives but with growing isolation from country and commanders and, ultimately, with psychological disintegration.

A penetrating look at war from those who fight.......2001-04-17
Linderman has written an extremely informative look at the dynamics of combat, and he leaves nothing out. The reason this author is so successful is he expertly weaves his scholarly approach with an equal amount of first-hand accounts, and the result is a book both deeply personal and unbiased.
Judging from the extensive list of references in the Bibliography (which I refered to often, as many of these books I plan on purchasing) Linderman did extensive research, especially reading those books written by the soldiers themselves. The areas this author explores are often overlooked or deliberately avoided by others, and that is what makes this book so refreshing to read. Questions such as "Why him, and not me?", the reactions of ones buddies when someone on the line cracks up from battle fatigue, how soldiers dealt with inept officers, (and the brutally honest assessments of some of these green officers themselves),how the art of war in North Africa was a chivalrous display of honor and prisoner exchanges, and how this was radically different from the no-quarter violence of the Pacific, how the breakdown in discipline at war's end in Europe, and the rumor that those soldiers would be sent to the Pacific, almost caused near riots, and how soldiers reacted to those on the homefront, whether it be the shared pain of a Dear John letter passed among the squad, or the total contempt for the 4-F's that were often healthier than those in combat, or the rounds that didn't fire or grenades that didn't explode because some factory worker decided to stay out too late the night before spending that huge paycheck, this book is startling in it's clarity, and profound in the feelings it can generate, stripping away layers of patriotisim, and exposing this war for what it really was, a violent and thankless job, fought by the young, who fought for their buddies and the sake of getting it over with, and back home to loved ones.
My hat is off to all the brave veterans of this war. Well Done.
A Real Tribute.......2001-01-20
The author of this book succeeds where others far more famous or currently popular fail: he slowly and deliberately peels away the layers of fantasy and denial about the American WW2 combat experience to show the hellish world of the US frontline soldier. Linderman approaches combat as a dark mysterious area undescribable to anyone who hasn't experienced it. He shows its corrosive effect on all who experience it for prolonged periods by using the words and descriptions of veterans. WW2 was especially hard on the American combat soldier(partly because he was American and thus individualistic)- treated like a dog by his officers and the military- unrelieved (unlike even the Germans or other combatants) for any length of time by anything but a wound or death and finally subjected to the heroic fantasies of that "Greatest Generation" of Americans back home or in the rear. I gained new respect for WW2 combat vets by reading this work so refreshingly free of the current rah-rah BS about WW2. Taking a second look at "Saving Private Ryan" after finishing "The World Within War" I realise what was so weird about the movie- it gave us a glimpse at how combat looks but the soldiers as characters were all wrong with their "aw shucks" kind of quiet heroism. Never in a million years in a million parallel universes would actual soldiers have attacked that radar tower with its machine gun emplacement under the circumstances set by the movie. And if they had- no way they would have let that German go.
An Excellent Subject Well Discussed.......2001-01-06
While many authors (Ambrose and Ryan of note) spend a great deal of energy conveying the story of individual soldiers' experiences, Linderman presents the story of GI's life in combat. What are the rules of war when captive and victor meet face-to-face under the uncertainty of live combat conditions? How does one make sense of the Japanese military's disregard for life, whether it be friend or foe? What is the enlisted man's view of his officers? What is the average workday for a GI (if any day in WWII could be refered to as average)? These questions and many other sociological issues are addressed in detail, leaving no doubt that the experience of WWII was a disturbing one whose weight was successfully carried on the shoulders of the Citizen Soldiers of America at a heavy price both in mortal lives and psyches damaged, some permanently. Of particular note is the discussion of the differences of the conduct of war towards the Wehrmacht and the Imperial Japanese forces, the former one of rules and the latter widely accepted as one of no quarter given.
Close to a masterpiece.......2000-02-15
Linderman writes in a difficult style. He tends to use vocabulary that is not common, nor even stretches the bounds, of most American's understanding of the English language. Other than that only criticism, I think the book is nearly a maasterpiece. I found myself reflecting on the contents of the book long after reading areas. I found the book as compelling, if not more, a picture of the second World War as Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan". This book is THAT gripping. Really makes you appreciate the men who fought for our freedom!
A superb analysis of the human mind in combat.......1999-02-22
Linderman masterfully sorts out the complex, human dimension of war. He provides those who have not experienced battle with a taste of its grim realities and the toll it takes on the human mind. Linderman reminds us that there is a cost to war that goes beyond the casualty figures: combat effects those who survive it for the rest of their lives. More importantly, World Within War helps combat veterans understand the thoughts, attitudes and feelings they experienced in battle. They realize that the complex range of emotions they thought so unusual and strictly their own were in fact common given the nature of the environment. The light World Within War sheds on the human aspects of combat makes the book critical to achieving an understanding of men in battle.
Book Description
The WORLD WITHIN WAR is a highly original social history, authoritatively recovering and capturing the full experience of combat in World War II. Based on a vast array of letters, diaries, books, and a survey of veterans by the Army War College, the book cuts through the many layers of protective shielding in soldiers' memoirs to find the shards of direct experiences that lie beneath. Linderman demonstrates that for American soldiers around the globe, the war was disintegrative. Examining how Americans prepared for battle, how they treated each other, how they conceived of the enemy, how they thought of home, and how they reacted to battle itself, Linderman argues that ultimately, combat had its own grim logic, independent of causes and countries, flags and commanders.

Book Description
Argumentation provides tools for designing, implementing and analyzing sophisticated forms of interaction among rational agents. It has made a solid contribution to the practice of multiagent dialogues. Application domains include: legal disputes, business negotiation, labor disputes, team formation, scientific inquiry, deliberative democracy, ontology reconciliation, risk analysis, scheduling, and logistics.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Argumentation in Multi-Agent Systems held in Hakodate, Japan, in May 2006 as an associated event of AAMAS 2006, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.
The volume opens with an original state-of-the-art survey paper presenting the current research and offering a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this rapidly evolving area. The 11 revised articles that follow were carefully reviewed and selected from the most significant workshop contributions, augmented with papers from the AAMAS 2006 main conference, as well as from ECAI 2006, the biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence.
Book Description
An important aspect of multi agent systems are agent reasoning techniques for problem solving, either at the level of a single agent or at the level of distributed collaboration amongst multiple agents. Constraint satisfaction problems are significant in the domain of automated reasoning for artificial intelligence. They can be applied to modeling and solving of a wide range of combinatorial applications such as planning, scheduling and resource sharing in a variety of practical domains e.g. transportation, production, supply-chains, network management, and human resource management. In this book we study new techniques for solving constraint satisfaction problems, with a special focus on solution adaptation applied to agent reasoning. Most work in constraint satisfaction has focused on computing a solution to a given problem. In practice, it often occurs that an existing solution needs to be modified to satisfy additional criteria or accommodate changes in the problem. Based on constraint satisfaction problem structures and their symmetries, we develop techniques for adapting solutions in applications and show how these techniques can be used when the agent is situated in dynamic and distributed environments.
This book is addressed to researchers in the artificial intelligence domain who are interested in constraint satisfaction techniques for agent reasoning. Moreover, as these methods are important for many applications such as planning, scheduling, diagnosis and resource allocation, researchers and application engineers in these domains will also benefit from applying the techniques described in this book.

Book Description
Constraint-based reasoning is an important area of automated reasoning in artificial intelligence, with many applications. These include configuration and design problems, planning and scheduling, temporal and spatial reasoning, defeasible and causal reasoning, machine vision and language understanding, qualitative and diagnostic reasoning, and expert systems. Constraint-Based Reasoning presents current work in the field at several levels: theory, algorithms, languages, applications, and hardware.
Constraint-based reasoning has connections to a wide variety of fields, including formal logic, graph theory, relational databases, combinatorial algorithms, operations research, neural networks, truth maintenance, and logic programming. The ideal of describing a problem domain in natural, declarative terms and then letting general deductive mechanisms synthesize individual solutions has to some extent been realized, and even embodied, in programming languages.

Good basis of research on constraint reasoning.......2000-10-21
I have read some papers in this book. I think that this book would be a very good basis for the people who are engaged in the research of constraint satisfaction algorithm, no matter in theory or application area.
