Book Description
The harrowing, insightful, and courageous account of a prominent man's struggle with multiple personalitiesRobert Oxnam was a high-profile, successful man: A renowned scholar and president of the Asia Society, he appeared frequently on television and traveled the world as a sought-after expert. But what the millions of people who'd seen him didn't know -- what even those closest to him didn't know -- was that Oxnam suffered from multiple personality disorder. It was only after an intervention staged by family and friends, in response to frequent blackouts and episodic rages assumed to be alcohol-driven, that he sought treatment with Dr. Jeffery Smith; the first of his eleven personalities emerged in a session in 1990. After years of treatment, he has integrated them into three: Robert, Wanda, and Bobby, who take turns narrating this remarkable, unprecedented chronicle.

It's alright..........2007-02-11
Although this is an interesting book, i did find it challenging to keep up with the different personalities, so be patient when reading this book.
I'd recommend it.
Multiple Personality Disorder Story.......2007-01-04
This is an excellent book on multiple personality disorder. It truly takes you into the mind of someone sufferring from multiple disorder. A goof read!
Fascinating Read.......2007-01-03
This book, about the author's journey to understand and meet his different personalities, is well written and easy to read. It made me wondered how we develope our own personalities and become who we are. His psychiatrist offers an interesting and enlightening post script on dissociative identity disorder (DID). Lots of food for thought - an interesting read.
Well-written and satisfying read.......2006-10-08
Although I don't live under a rock, prior to purchasing "A Fractured Mind," I don't recall having ever heard of Robert B. Oxnam. Having now finished reading his book, I believe I won't have any such trouble remembering either his name or his story.
First, I'd like to say that I have deep respect for Mr. Oxnam for going through with making his story and struggles known to the public--myself included. This was a courageous move on his part and I hope there are no regrets for any and all involved in the project.
On, now, to the story. For the first section of this book, Oxnam told a lot of--what I thought at the time--standard family background, academic and work-related information, and showcased an obvious alcohol problem. I wondered if I was missing something or if they'd gotten the name of the book wrong. Once Oxnam began treatment and then therapy for alcoholism, things started to fall into place for me as a reader and I was amazed at how successful this man had become in spite of what I now know were serious mental and physical problems.
I've read the book and seen the movie "Sybil" and was expecting this to run roughly the same course: in-depth coverage of the abuse that caused the original and subsequent dissociation, tales of bickering alters and integration, and a somewhat tidy ending. Imagine my surprise and confusion when the trauma Oxnam had suffered was discussed about the middle of the book. I cringed, thinking that all the dirty details would be chronicled throughout the second half; I was wrong. In a savvy move, the abuse was mostly alluded to, with only a few key events mentioned (no salacious content here). What the reader is left with is Oxnam's basic reaction--as an adult--to what happened to him as a child nearly fifty years earlier. For me, this had a more powerful impact than had everything been laid out.
What surprised me again was that the story wasn't over after that. True to the title, this actually IS about Oxnam's "Life With Multiple Personality Disorder," and is told with honesty and a clear aim to show what living with the disorder is really like, including the ugly parts. It's about how the daily grind, work, marriage and family, fits into and is affected by one man who is now the collective whole of three distinct personalities. The story of Robert B. Oxnam, Bobby, and Wanda does not end with the conclusion of "A Fractured Mind;" how can it? He isn't "cured" in the typical sense of that fairytale happy ending, yet he does seem to be quite healthy at the end--in my lay and humble opinion.
Old China Hand.......2006-09-03
The movie Psycho is more entertaining and credible than this collage of repressed memories and reincarnation fabrication. If you start reading the book, make sure to bail out as soon as Baby appears. The second half of the book bears a striking similarity to the Seinfeld episode in which George fakes an arm twitch. George's doctor correctly diagnoses George's problem as a mere fabrication, and notes that someone who goes to such effort to fake a medical problem must be a very sick person indeed. A more appropriate title for the book might have been "A Fabricated Mind".
A couple of high/low-lights of the book:
· Bob's pathetic attempts to establish that he is not just your everyday crazy Joe six-pack. He is at pains to underscore that his mail-order doctorate was achieved in record time. His claims regarding unrealized archery potential qualifies him to the league of could-have-been Olympic champions if not for...[insert pathetic excuse].
· Despite Bob's claimed close association with George H W Bush, the only tangible link between the two seems to be Bush's acknowledgement that he never read an earlier book authored by Oxnam. I am hoping for Bush's sake that he exercises the same restraint regarding this book. At least Bush had the common sense not to permit his name to be used in the author's acknowledgements. I am not surprised that Bush (and other notables including Warren Buffett) have had no association whatsoever with the author since publication of this book.

Scottish warfare in detail.......2007-02-19
"The Wars of the Bruces", by Colm McNamee is a very detailed account of the years 1306-1328. The focus is King Robert I and his brother Edward Bruce and there struggle to keep the throne of Scotland and make a move into Ireland. McNamee starts with an excellent explanation of Lordship and Nationality and how that blurred with the nobles of Scotland and England. This sets up for the rise of Bruce brothers and the war that erupts between him and Edward I of England. The chapters on the raiding and defense of Northern England are very detailed and well researched. It tells of the losses of individuals in money, cattle and grain. This helps show the horrors of war and how the locals suffered sometimes more than the Nobles. The chapter on Edward Bruce in Ireland, his Kingship of there and final defeat was great. Not only was Edward Bruce's arrogance and pride shown as he personally sought his own Crown and Kingdom but also how he helped serve his Brother Robert's interests against the English and shore up an independent Scotland. Overall this is an excellent book for the hard core researcher and very detailed study of warfare. I personally felt it was over detailed at parts and got bored and found myself skimming until it got back to the tale. Not for the novice of Scottish history but an excellent resource.
A balance view of Clan Bruce's Rise to Power.......2002-09-25
This is an exceptional work covering the rise of Clan Bruce from 1306-1328. It is a dispassionate look, trying to steer away from the anti-bruce sentiment that rose after Braveheart movie - sorry gang - the Bruce got a RAW DEAL from Mel's movie. If you want to know about the Bruce, this is a great starting point. It is rich with details. Covers Edward the Bruce being crowned King of Ireland and the mess surrounding that. It systematically examines not only the struggles of the Bruce in coming to power and keeping that power in Scotland, but looks at the other little wars of the Bruces and the whole picture - the social climate inside and outside of Scotland.
A meticulous work, that might be a bit more in depth that the casual reader would appreciate, but to serious students on the topic this is a true find.
Tough reading but interesting.......2002-05-26
This is a terrific book (well it really is more like thesis research) if you are REALLY interested in the cold facts of the Scottish wars and raids of King Robert The Bruce, his lieutenants and his brother Edward. It is full of data and facts and dates and does provide some very interesting facts to uncloud this rather mystical period of Anglo-Scottish history. Some chapters, such as the one detailing the truces and costs paid by English towns and villages to avoid Scottish attacks, are a bit thick to read, but others, such as an academic view of Bannockburn and other battles, do open the eyes to the Scottish struggle that kept the English away from dominating its neighbor to the north.
Good but uneven........2000-07-12
This new interpretation of the Scottish War of Independence grew out of the author's dissertation from the University of Oxford. The focus was upon the social and economic impact of the Scottish incursions into the north of England, especially after their stunning victory at Bannockburn in June of 1314. These punitive raids were directed at winning English recognition of Scotland's independence and the legitimacy of Robert the Bruce's kingship, as well as filling Scotland's depleted coffers with plundered English wealth. McNamee revised and expanded his work to include sections on the wider scope of the war encompassing Scotland, Ireland, and the maritime world of the North Sea. McNamee argues that this celebrated conflict has been subject to much myth making. The Scots have elevated their warrior-king Robert the Bruce to olympian status while the English tend to dismiss him as an oppoutunistic brigand, though some view him a grudging admiration. McNamee also argues that while there are many biographies of the principal characters, a broad synthetic analysis of this epic struggle and its enduring legacy is long overdue. McNamee attempts, with some success, to bring a dispassionate approach which places people and events in their proper historical context. While he is able to increase the reader's understanding of the war's effects upon British society, his depiction of the individuals involved is rather two dimensional and stale. Fortunately, his bibliography is impressive. It is a neccessity for the specialist and a treat for the enthusiast. It is clear that he has a powerful command of primary sources, such as contemporary chronicles and account books, especially for the north of England. Unfortunately, the sections on Ireland and Scotland are less comprehensive and highlight the overall 'cut and paste' quality of the book. McNamee does raise a number of interesting questions. Among these being the persistance of resistance to the Bruce Monarchy by the deposed Balliol faction, particularly the McDougals and the Comyns, throughout and beyond Robert's reign. He also comments with some probity upon the Scots' lack of engineering resources which would have enabled them to capture major cities such as York or Dublin to use as bargaining chips. However lucrative the Scottish hit and run raids were, they were not very effective, at least in the short term, in forcing the English to negotiate a lasting peace. In addition, McNamee does not neglect the role of Flemish and Baltic traders and pirates who greatly assisted the Scottish war effort. Regarding Ireland, McNamee argues to some effect that the Bruce intervention on that unhappy island would have been much more effective had it appealed to Edward II's disaffected Anglo-Irish barons rather than promoting an impractical pan-Celtic alliance of Scot, Irish, and Welsh against their predatory English neighbors. He also examines the sometimes adversarial relationship between Robert the Bruce and his brother, Edward, who sought to be King of Ireland and whose adventures there kept him from causing trouble for his brother in Scotland. THE WARS OF THE BRUCES is primarily a thematic study with some meager attempts at providing a narrative thread. McNamee's arguments are reasonable and his sympathy for the suffering of the people of northern England, mere pawns in the Anglo-Scottish power struggle, is sincere. One does find his criticism of Bruce's lack of 'humanity' puzzling since the Scottish king was merely taking the war into the enemy's territory after years of similar conduct by the English in Scotland. This book is a valuable adjunct to the existing historiography and a credible corrective to some of the Bruce panegyrists, but does not in any way supersede great narrative histories such as Evan Barron's THE SCOTTISH WAR OF INDEPENDENCE (1914); Thomas Costain's THE THREE EDWARDS (1958); nor masterful biographies such as G.W.S. Barrow's ROBERT THE BRUCE AND THE COMMUNITYOF THE REALM (1965) and Ronald McNair Scott's, ROBERT THE BRUCE, KING OF SCOTS (1982), and should be read in this context."

Mixed feelings .......2006-11-23
I have mixed feelings about Carter's Nobel Prize. Actually he should have won the Nobel Prize for the Israeli- Egyptian peace agreement. Egyptian President Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister were then given the prize. Carter who brokered the agreement certainly deserved it.
About the Carter Center activities I am not well - informed, though I am deeply troubled by former President Carter's Middle East position in recent years. He has strongly tilted towards a pro- Arab stance, and his words of condemnation are not for the suicide-bombers but for the one democracy in the region.
The speech itself tells President Carter's story in brief. It expresses the ideals for which he stands, most of which are noble. He is very worried about the gap between rich and poor. He is concerned about the nuclear arms situation. He is troubled about the wise use of American power. He holds out a hope of future Peace for mankind. He speaks of his Christian faith.
However in recounting his own story he does not point out that it was on his watch that the radical Islamic Revolutionary regime in Iran came to power, and strongly humiliated the United States. He does not hint at condemnation at the role Iran has played in spreading terror in the world since that day. He also does not in discussing the world situation touch upon a whole host of areas and nations where conflicts are going on.
There is not in this an overwhelming rhetoric or the kind of powerful voice one of Carter's great heroes, Martin Luther King Jr. could supply.
There is however a call for a better world and a more peaceful one.
And this is done in a tone which is quiet, modest and humane.
A moving testimony from a true world citizen.......2005-12-21
"The Nobel Prize Lecture," by Jimmy Carter, is a short volume--the lecture and supplemental materials total 32 pages. In the lecture Carter recalls his service as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, as well as his service as the U.S. Commander-in-Chief "during the height of the Cold War." Carter notes with irony that "the world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place" after the end of the Cold War, and he also warns against "a principle of preventive war." He notes further, "War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good."
The Nobel laureate briefly mentions the work of the Carter Center and also states his belief that "the most serious and universal problem" facing the world "is the growing chasm between the richest and poorest people on earth." The former president pays tribute to many individuals, including Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin, Andrei Sakharov, George C. Marshall, Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi, and his own wife Rosalynn. I was especially moved by Carter's expression of faith that human beings of differing religions are capable of joining together in a common quest for peace. I did not find anything really groundbreaking or monumental in this lecture. But it is a genuinely inspiring testament by a leader with a truly global vision.
Carter's Nobel lecture.......2003-06-26
This is what it says it is, Jimmy Carter's Nobel Prize Lecture. It's brief. Carter doesn't really say much of anything in it, but he doesn't make a fool of himself. He's a great humanitarian, and this is his Nobel lecture. read it and enjoy
A Great Humanitarian.......2003-04-09
This short, yet important work of President Jimmy Carter presents a glimpse at his thoughtful wisdom. I whole heartedly recommend Carter's lecture to anyone interested in the 39th president and his keen sense of social justice. I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying the lecture because it is available for free online (at the Nobel website), and the price is a bit much for twenty pages (which is why I only gave it four stars). However, it is indeed a beautiful book and would make a great gift; plus, all the author's proceeds are being donated to The Carter Center. Ultimately, whether you choose to buy it or read it online, I assure you that reading this touching lecture will be well worth your time.
Nobel Lecture.......2003-03-10
Once again, the sage wisdom of Jimmy Carter is revealed in his words of wisdom about war and peace. This should be required reading for everyone in the White House and the Pentagon.

Noble Ideals Faulty perception of reality .......2006-11-23
Pauling's speech is in essence a call for nuclear disarmament. It is also a call for the stopping of all nuclear tests, and the eventual destruction of all nuclear arsenals. It is a call for Mankind to enter into a new age, one free of the threat of global destruction, one free of all war.
It is a noble ideal and Pauling speaks passionately about his belief that we are entering a new age where the dream of world- peace will come true.
The speech was made in 1963 and Pauling was made optimistic at the time by the signing of a nuclear agreement by the United States, the Soviet Union and Great Britain.
Unfortunately Pauling was wrong about the course of history.
The Soviet Union collapsed, and the balance of Terror age came to an end.
But wars did not stop, in fact continued in various places over the globe. And at this moment anyway in November 2006 the threat of Nuclear Proliferation and perhaps even Nuclear War seems greater than ever.
Pauling as a scientist was accustomed to getting precise and definite answers to his hypotheses. But in the messy realm of political and human affairs such answers are not possible.
Here nonetheless are Pauling's idealistic words with which he concludes his speech at Oslo.
"Now we are forced to eliminate from the world forever this vestige of prehistoric barbarism, this curse to the human race. We, you and I, are privileged to be alive during this extraordinary age, this unique epoch in the history of the world, the epoch of demarcation between the past millennia of war and suffering, and the future, the great future of peace, justice, morality, and human well-being. We are privileged to have the opportunity of contributing to the achievement of the goal of the abolition of war and its replacement by world law. I am confident that we shall succeed in this great task; that the world community will thereby be freed not only from the suffering caused by war but also, through the better use of the earth's resources, of the discoveries of scientists, and of the efforts of mankind, from hunger, disease, illiteracy, and fear; and that we shall in the course of time be enabled to build a world characterized by economic, political, and social justice for all human beings and a culture worthy of man's intell
