Absolutely profound.......2004-08-28
This book stirred up and anger and passion in my in me that I cannot express in words. You have to read it to beleive it!
The Little School.......2004-04-23
Imagine being kidnapped and being taken to a concentration camp, blindfolded, tied up and not knowing when you will ever see your family and friends again. What would you do if someone put a gun in your mouth? Alicia Partnoy proved to be a brave woman among others.
What you must know is that this is a true story. It is like if you are reading something made up, but it is sadly true. It is greatly detailed and it even has a sense of humor at points. It is really amazing to see how Alicia talks about her experience and the other "disappeared" s' experiences.
She was kidnapped. Did not know the whereabouts of her daughter. Her husband was kidnapped also, but they were not able to see each other. Even though she was away from them, she managed to think of them as little as possible, because she thought it would weaken her in trying to survive for them.
She was always helping others in one way or another. Since they did not know when they were going to die, Alicia showed her compassion in their last hours. She was very generous when everything else was so ruthless.
She shares part of her hideous life lived in the Little School, because even though she tells you what happened to her and her friends, she keeps the darkest moments to herself. It is personal, a very personal story. You should be thankful that she even wrote this book because she is informing you about what really happened at those times and how the guards treated them inside the Little School.
This book demonstrates the true value of life. Some people overlook small things in life, but these small things grow to be very significant to Alicia when she was a prisoner. It shows the importance of your five senses, the ability to smell, to touch, to hear, to taste and to talk. She was able to see through her nose given that she was blindfolded and was able to create small balls out of bread. Talk about using your imagination at miserable times. This is just one of the things she learned to do when held captive. Read this book to find out how she did this and what else she discovered inside the concentration camp.
the little school.......2004-04-22
What would you say if one day while you were doing your chores like every day in your house, spending time with your family and then suddenly a man barges the door throgh wearing military uniforms and takes you away without an explation. What would you do? How would you react?
Well unfortunately this is what happened to Alicia Partnoy. On January 12, 1977 Alicia was taken away from her house while her husband was working. This sad event took place in Argentina during the time when people were struggling for a better life, striking on streets, demanding better wages. "The Little School" not only tells you the story of Alicia Portnoy, but the stories of people who experience the brutality, the night mares they had to go through while being kept in captivity by the military in a camp called "The Little School".
I would recommend this book because it gives the reader an idea about how life was in Argentina when govern by evil dictatorship. It will show you how life was while being kept in captivity by the military. For example, the prisoners were blindfolded and by being blindfolded they lost any memory of themselves leaving them hopeless, miserable, and humiliated without any energy left for the future. People would like reading this book because is not only interesting, but it opens your eyes and gives you an idea of how cruel the world can be if its run by the wrong people. Many families were ruined and many people died because they believe in a better world and wanted a better life for the future. "The Little School" is a book that tells us the stories of many people who suffered in the in the hands of thier leaders and teaches us that things like this are happening all around the world and just because we don't hear about it, it doesn't mean we cant do anything about it. You will like this book that you might read it several times because is an unbelievable story of survival.
The Little School.......2004-04-12
Slippers, bread and a toothbrush: these everyday items are simple enough to most people in the United States, and other parts of the world, to take advantage of or even ignore. In Argentina in the mid to late 70's, however, these common items were enough to keep one young woman sane enough to escape captivity. In The Little School, Alicia Partnoy tells the very real stories of her capture and imprisonment in a government- run concentration camp. Partnoy spins tales of survival in a climate of oppression and death. These amazingly well told stories draw the reader into a terrifying world in which young men and women create and keep intensely strong bonds of camaraderie and friendship even as they have their human dignity is denied to them.
The Little School is a book of short stories devoted to telling the true history of the 30,000 "disappeared" Argentines at the hands of the government from 1976 to 1979. Thousands of Argentines were taken captive in retaliation for civil disobedience to the government. In this book, Alicia Partnoy takes on the challenge of refuting the official statements made by the government denying the disappearances and making the truth achingly real. As a way of dealing with the reality of her ordeal, Partnoy uses her gift of storytelling to draw in the reader and make her feel what the prisoners felt.
One of the key techniques that Partnoy employs in the telling of the stories in The Little School is continually changing the perspective from which the story is told. The story of Partnoy's own capture is told from a third person point of view as if a narrator is watching it take place. This is a very powerful tool because it shows that Partnoy uses her own encounter and terror as a means of showing how many, if not all, of the other imprisonments took place. Partnoy expends a lot of energy, as evidenced by this technique, in telling the stories of other people as well as her own. While she does, indeed, spend a fair deal of time telling her own experiences, she also speaks from the perspective of her friend Graciela and her experience being in the school throughout her pregnancy. In doing this, Partnoy takes one of life's most pure experiences and shows the inhumanity of the Argentinean government as they keep, and even torture, a woman who is with child. The stories told from Graciela's perspective shine a light on the true dignity that the prisoners displayed throughout their ordeals.
While many people read books as a way of escaping into another world, Partnoy writes the stories in The Little School as a way to confront the very real ways in which she and others managed to band together in small acts of compassion toward each other and disobedience against their captors in order to mentally escape their confinement. Alicia Partnoy chose to, in writing The Little School, relive her experience in order to make the world understand what really happened to her and 30,000 others. In Partnoy's words, "Beware: in little schools the boundaries between story and history are so subtle that even I can hardly find them."
I highly recommend this book to all readers. It has historical significance as well as a deep human side. Alicia Partnoy chose to revisit the horror that she experienced in the hope that she could help people everywhere understand the circumstances surrounding her disappearance as well as those of so many more.
Heart-wrenching Yet Heart-Warming.......2003-09-11
Partnoy's book is a great balance of fiction and nonfiction that allows readers to see not only the facts of the situation in Argentina during the Dirty War, but to feel the emotions, fears, and hopes of a disappeared person. The book's first person narrative and stylistics made it a book that interested me and made me want to keep reading until the end. I especially enjoyed the Appendices, which had accounts of other prisoners at the Little School and even further demonstrates the horrific actions of the military dictatorship in a simple, heart wrenching way.
Book Description
Based on reporting that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Thunder Run chronicles one of the boldest gambles in modern military history. Three battalions and fewer than a thousand men launched a violent thrust of tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles into the heart of a city of 5 million people and in three days of bloody combat ended the Iraqi war. Thunder Run is the story of the surprise assault on Baghdad—one of the most decisive battles in American combat history—by the Spartan Brigade, the Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division (Mechanized). More than just a rendering of a single battle, Thunder Run candidly recounts how soldiers respond under fire and stress and how human frailties are magnified in a war zone. The product of over a hundred interviews with commanders and men from the Second Brigade, Thunder Run is a riveting firsthand account of how a single armored brigade was able to capture an Arab capital defended by one of the world's largest armies.
Customer Reviews:
Must Read for Cadets and Young Officers .......2007-05-15
Outstanding account of the two Thunder Runs into Baghdad by TF 1-64 Armor (5 Apr 03) and 2nd Bde, 3rd ID(M). From individual tank/Bradley commanders and Soldiers to the brigade and battalion commanders, this riveting account of the battles gives a good view of the planning and execution involved. This shows the gritty side of war at the lower tactical level, bringing home timeless lessons on the battlefield. A great addition to any military professional's library!
Excellent book on Thudner Run for either the casual reader or someone who wishes to study the invasion.......2006-10-29
Zucchino's book Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad seems to be one of teh best accounts of the 3rd IDs "Thunder Run" into Baghdad. I've recelently read a lot of literature on the invasion of Iraq, including excellent books such as One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick and Generation Kill by Evan Wright which highlight the Marine advance and feign that helped contribute to the fall of Saddam, as well as other books about the Army's advance, to include Rick Atkinson's excellent account on the 101st Airborne. However, there have been relatively few books out there that have been able to concentrate on a specific battle. That's not to say that its such a bad thing. Many of the books listed above provide incredible insight into the commander's thoughts and the experiences of the troops through the 23 day advance and even the pre-invasion deployments of the 3rd ID to camp Doha, then Yankee, etc.
Nonetheless, Zuccino's book is an excellent overview of the troubles and successes of the Spartan Brigades experiences in Baghdad, the ferocity of the battle, the trepidation and elation of the soldiers, and the brutality that goes with war and the loss of comrades. Immediatley the author is shot en-media-rez into the action during the night that the brigade receives the WARNO and then the hasty OPORD to go to battle. Zuccino then takes the reader on a harrowing adventure of the first Thunder Run which killed or wounded an estimated 1,200 enemy and then the brave decision to move the brigade to the center of the city and hold it.
But the adventure isn't as easy as it seems and the reader begins to understand the complexities of keeping this force alive, supplied, and preventing it from being isolated. Zuccino takes you to the brutal intersections of Larry, Moe, and Curly, Saddam's palace, and the staging point of BIAP, then Saddam International Airport. Zuccino's task, like Mark Bowden with the Battle of Mogadishu, was immense: to study and disseminate the pivitol battle of the war, and he succeeds magnificiently.
Tense, Gripping, and Accurate.......2006-09-07
As an embedded reporter, David Zucchino has managed to tease apart the relationships between men, machines, combat, the politics of platoon life, and its position in the larger picture of a military campaign. Zucchino is at once microscopic and telescopic, zooming in on the thoughts and actions of one soldier, and then zooming back out to place the consequences of those actions amidst the confusion of capturing Baghdad.
Zucchino's book is simply impossible to put down and reads as fluidly as the work it is most often compared to, "Black Hawk Down." Mark Bowden wrote the introduction, and he and Zucchino have previously worked together; the upshot, read the book and wait for the film, it seems inevitable.
Excellent.......2006-08-17
This is an interesting book. The author, Zucchino, was embedded with the 101st Airborne Division. Late in the fighting, the truck he was riding in wound up in a canal, and he lost his laptop and all of the notes he'd made while reporting. Presumably, if he hadn't been dunked in an Iraqi canal, we might have wound up with a book from him about the 101st (Rick Atkinson provided a very good one, so we don't really need a second). Instead, he was fished out of the canal by soldiers, and wound up with the 3rd Infantry Division's 2nd (Spartan) Brigade at Baghdad airport, swapping stories. Eventually, he heard enough from them to decide that *here* was a real story, and he first wrote an article about them (for the LA Times) then this book.
Zucchino gets right to it. On the first page of the book, the troops are firing up the engines on their Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles, and they roar into combat almost immediately. The second run--the one that resulted in the capture of downtown Baghdad--is recounted after a discussion of the command and strategy brainstorming that led to the attack in the first place.
Zucchino wasn't there, and he isn't a character in the book (pretty unique among the books by embedded reporters) but he has a keen eye for detail and he gets everything that happened in the columns on each day--who was wounded, killed, frightened, panicked, confused, disoriented, brave, etc. The chaos of the situation is very well done, so well that at times you'd like a better set of maps (maybe a diagram of how the columns were arranged each day would have been appropriate) but overall things are understandable.
Two things struck me about this book. One is the way the command structure of the American military has changed in recent years. The second Thunder Run basically ended the regular phase of operations in Iraq, and the whole thing was conceived by a brigade commander. He got approval from his superiors, but he basically ran the whole thing himself, and the resulting situation was something the higher command then had to accomodate and fit their plans to. So the war was essentially concluded by a rather junior soldier.
The second thing is the level of casualties. The Spartan Brigade (less than a thousand men) suffered a handful of fatalities (so few that each one can be recounted separately in the book), but the perspective of the book, or at least of the soldiers portrayed in it, is that they suffered horrifically. The author recounts that during the first run, they suffered one dead and several wounded, and some of the soldiers felt "defeated" afterwards. This is very amazing. A battle of this intensity, with this few casualties on our side, is clearly a decisive victory for our forces. In World War II, a U.S. Marine Divisions suffered *thousands of casualties* in individual battles that lasted a few days. Almost 900 men died on the day of the invasion of Tarawa. I'm not saying that the deaths of the individuals in either of these "thunder runs" or elsewhere in Iraq aren't tragic--all deaths are--but I am saying that our perspective on these things has changed, and I'm not sure for the better.
I enjoyed this book a great deal, and would recommend it to anyone interested in reading something very well-done about the war.
Black Hawk Down in Baghdhad.......2006-08-16
It's fitting that the author of Black Hawk Down wrote the foreward to this book, as it reads with the pulse-pounding excitement of Bowden's classic book of urban warfare. Think of this book as Black Hawk Down with tanks. Excellent examination of the flexibility of armor in an urban environment, and although it won't give you the broad view of a more comprehensive work like "COBRA II" it is an excellent detailed examination of the strikes that led to the fall of Baghdad.

Good book, interesting insights........2006-11-11
Chaplain Haworth is a great story teller, and once you get passed the fact that this is more a book about people set in war than a book about the Vietnam War, it's an enjoyable read. Haworth does a wonderful job of capping each story with a simple yet meaningful spiritual reference, enlightening the audience but not preaching. While anyone with military experience will get something out of this book, it is mostly intended for Vietnam Vets.

Book Description
Right to life, or abortion rights. Whistle-blowing. Does everyone have a price? The most difficult and revealing of all questions are questions of ethics-easy to answer from afar, but impossible when you're in the thick of it.
From the author of the 1.9-million-copy bestselling The Book of Questions, here are 300 primary and follow-up questions on commerce and politics that probe deeply into our conflicts between ideals and reality, and help us sound our own morals.
Put principles to the test: If you knew you could double your money in two years by investing in a company whose activities you strongly disapprove of, would you? Examine basic beliefs: If you knew you would not produce anything of real significance in your life, how would it change your goals and attitudes? Fantasize about power: If you could determine who could immigrate here, would you let in those who would contribute the most to our country or those most in need of refuge? Define convictions: If you were certain someone convicted of armed robbery would never commit another crime, would you choose a punishment that involved no prison sentence? Perhaps even rehearse for tomorrow: What would you do if after shaking hands on a deal for an item you are selling, someone else offers you twice as much?
Fuel those all-to-rare talks that go deep into the night-and explore and refine your values. 106,000 copies in print.

WONDERFUL LITTLE THOGHT PROVOKING BOOK.......2007-09-27
This little book is great on so many levels. It consists of, as the title would indicate, of questions concerning Business, Politics and Ethics. There are a total of 223 questions. The book is completely and absolutely nonjudgemental, as it gives no answers to the questions nor does it supply any opinions. This job is left up to you! The questions are well written and very plane it that they are, at first glance simple. Far from it. When you read one of the questions here, you will have almost an instant "gut" reaction, or instant answer, but, after giving it some thought, you will find you self thinking, "hey, this is not as easy as I thought." This is a wonderful book for group discussions, but beware, some of the questions could be discussed for days and days, answers would change and opinions swayed...it is just that type of book. I love to brouse through it, read a question, and then just think, asking myself questions about the questions asked. The issues addressed here are ones we face on a daily basis in our society and are not particularly addressed only to business and politics. Highly recommend this one!
Get Thinking.......2007-01-18
Far too many of us wait until faced with an ethical dilemma before figuring out what our personal ethical stand is. This book, used correctly, provides the opportunity to flex your brain muscle and reflect on your ethical perspective before it becomes necessary.
I use it to challenge my site management team every morning with great effect.
The only criticism I would have is that some questions while provacative are not for the meek.
Great job Mr Stock
Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and non-judgmental.......2005-01-11
The original "Book of Questions" made a good conversation-starter and, in my opinion, inspirational tool for writing or journaling. "The Book of Questions: Love and Sex" is better for helping you to see your own relationship values and how they may be helping and harming you and your loved one, and it can also be used to help open up communication in a relationship if approached carefully. "The Book of Questions: Business, Politics and Ethics," on the other hand, is perhaps best for pushing you to explore your own moral values and how well you're living up to them.
What's most impressive about this is that very few of the questions seem to imply a "right" answer or try to push some sort of specific realization, and even those that do sort of come across that way don't have to be read in that way. Dr. Stock specifically says that he doesn't want to push an agenda--he merely wants to spur people to think more carefully about what it is they're doing and why.
The questions run the gamut from economic programs to health care, international policy to business. There are questions about hiring and firing employees, stealing from or betraying employers, tradeoffs in public programs and government spending, and so on. Many of the questions seem particularly relevant to today's political situations. While I wasn't as fond of the tradeoff questions in the "Love and Sex" book, I think that in this one they come across much better. Somehow they end up feeling less arbitrary and more like realistic quandaries.
Dr. Stock tries not to give us easy questions with easy answers, instead forcing us to truly think about the hard issues.
Great Book to Test Your Ethics and Values.......1999-05-04
I have the screen saver version of this book, which is integrated with the original The Book of Questions for Windows computers. The graphics and sound effects are great and I get lots of people in the office asking me about it. It's a real head turner that engages people in conversation.

Discovering my hidden talent.......2005-03-26
This book helped me discover my hidden talent of observation. Though I'd like to say I draw well, it's not exactly true. But thanks to this book, I've been able to refine my drawing skills and better capture the details that catch my eye and are so hard to explain. Being able to communicate the details on paper is fulfilling in a whole new sense!
Who Lives In Your Backyard?.......2005-03-11
This wonderfully illustrated book is truly an adventure in the love of nature and all its creatures. The author presents an easy-to-understand approach to journal sketching through the seasons by providing the steps that help you draw what you see and feel. The sketches are based on favorite natural areas in Boulder CO but the drawing techniques are universal and can be used by the young-at-heart from 5 to 95. This delightful book will even encourage the non-artist to pick up a pencil and start sketching and will greatly enhance the way one see's and responds to nature.
fun book ,great personality.......2005-02-14
This is a great book for people who think they have to be Rembrandt to keep an artistic journal. The author does a great job teaching beginers not to stress about making perfect sketches. The lively fun text puts emphasis on observation and just getting out there and doing it. This would make a great book for schools.

I ordered this item on June 13 and still have not received it, two and a half months later. What's going on?
The Nest, Maryjo Koch.......2002-12-05
The Nest, by Maryjo Koch is a delightful work revealing the spirit of her subject (birds/nests/eggs) with remarkable attention to artistic detail. The text (except publisher notes and the forward) are handwritten or hand-lettered . . . all with charming variety of style and movement.
On some of her drawings, she has left portions without color; thus, revealing the architecture of her black and white line art. At the side of several illustrations, she provides "brush smears" of colors with the name of the base paint colors used in the blends.
The book is a fascinating blend of ornithology and beautifully executed art.
beautiful, for yourself or someone you love.......2002-08-03
This is a gorgeous book, a rare combination of art and information. It's the sort of book that people love but rarely buy for themselves. It makes a wonderful and unusual new-home gift.
Exquisite.......2000-08-12
This exquisite book is perfect for those days when one can just lull in a hammock and enjoy nature. Maryjo Koch is a wonderful artist and naturalist. Her drawings are so lifelike you feel you could just reach down and pick up one of the beautiful bird's eggs that are in the book. The poems and quotations are an added plus. Wonderful book to have in a classroom to teach children about birds, their remarkable homes and nature.
Absolutely breathtaking naturalist illustrations........1999-10-15
This book is not only informative but candy to the eye. Anyone who enjoys nature or nature illustration should not hesitate in purchasing this delightfully breathtaking nature journal.

An emotive introduction to an influencial artists work........1999-09-10
C.F.Tunnicliffe was one of the most significant British wildlife artists of the 20th century. This book draws together his own words and pictures of the Peregrine falcon, a bird that has suffered greatly over recent years. Robert Gillmor introduces the book before Tunnicliffe's own words take you to the dizzying heights of South Stack, Anglesey, where he records the struggle of a pair of Peregrine as they raise their young high above the Irish Sea. For those privileged to have visited his haunts, the book is an emotive return. For those of you unfamiliar with Tunnicliffe's Cob, Malltraeth and Shorelands retreat, this will surely whet your appetite. I hope that you feel inspired to add this book to your Tunnicliffe collection, and if new to his work, feel bold enough to explore his adopted home in North Wales through his artist eyes.
