Book Description
A candid memoir of love, art, and grief from a celebrated man of letters, United States poet laureate Donald Hall
In an intimate record of his twenty-three-year marriage to poet Jane Kenyon, Donald Hall recounts the rich pleasures and the unforeseen trials of their shared life. The couple made a home at their New England farmhouse, where they rejoiced in rituals of writing, gardening, caring for pets, and connecting with their rural community through friends and church. The Best Day the Worst Day presents a portrait of the inner moods of "the best marriage I know about," as Hall has written, against the stark medical emergency of Jane's leukemia, which ended her life in fifteen months. Between recollections of better times, Hall shares with readers the daily ordeal of Jane's dying through heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring storytelling.

Best Day and Worst Day: Life with Jane Kenyan.......2007-09-24
Donald Hall's memoir of health and illness with his wife Jane Kenyon has stood in my mind years after I read this book. It is an understanding of issues in living through a bout of illness, of survival to regain health, or the fall when one loses the fight.
Above all the book is of a poet who loves another fellow poet.
But I think poetry is secondary to loving a wife who shared his home and passions for animals, people, words and social engagements to be with people who appreciated their love of literature and the love in the marriage.
Very moving memoir.......2007-08-30
I thought this book was a wonderful, loving tribute to the author's wife. :)
"the company of tears".......2007-01-05
I recently finished reading Jane Kenyon's collected poems which left me missing her and wanting more. And so I picked up The Best Day The Worst Day: Life with Jane Kenyon written by Kenyon's husband--the esteemed poet Donald Hall. While the subtitle of this book is "Life with Jane Kenyon," I would argue that it is not so much about Kenyon's life with Hall as it is about her death, her dying. Yes, Hall does recount memories and vignettes of their life together, particularly how it was they came to live in their beloved farmhouse in New Hampshire.
Mostly I found this touching book to be an exploration of a husband moving through the process of grief, of holding on, and of letting go. Throughout, Hall beautifully and matter-of-factly reveals what it feels like when the one you love dies, and what are those threads that carry you through to this end, and what are those threads that bind you to this life afterward: "Poetry gives the griever not release from grief but companionship in grief. Poetry embodies the complexity of feelings in their most intense and entangled, and therefore offers (over centuries, or over no time at all) the company of tears."
It breaks a poet's heart.......2006-02-16
I saw Donald Hall read at AWP almost a year ago and decided then that I had to have this book. I was moved to tears in the reading. I bought it and it took me a while to have the time to read it, and then a month and a half to read. It is not in anyway shape or form, easy to read. Not only is language dense and medical at points, but somehow each technical word is embedded in a love that is as strong 10 years after Jane Kenyon's death as I imagine it was at Hall and Kenyon's marriage 35 years ago. It a book that moves you to tears on almost every page. And not only is this written in tribute and memorial to a life of love, but it is a catalogue of life for popular and well respected poets. Writing habits, readings, trips, the things you write and do to have the money to write, the way that dedication is your life.
"The Utter Darkness He Desired".......2005-12-06
Hall lifts off the ornate cover of his 27 year marriage to the poet Jane Kenyon, once his student at Michigan, to reveal some down home truths about her personality. It seems that Kenyon's depression made his life pretty bleak, for she might lash out at him as easily as she tormented herself with her vague phantoms of anxiety--all very real to her, of course, for drugs of the Prozac class had no effect on her unfortunately. So take it all in all whenever the family came to call they were never sure whether or not Jane was going to be her warm, friendly and sometimes bawdy self, or her other self, the tormented one who preferred to be "invisible." My hat is off to Donald Hall because even if she was great, it's not always easy to be around someone who's dour to that degree.
But Hall does not suffer in silence, and he lets us know that her famous friends, poets like Galway Kinnell and Liam Rector, also witnessed episodes of depression that were pretty chilling. There's a new book in which the friends give testimony to this effect, celebrating her life and work, yet not skimping on her acerbity and gloom. And yet they loved her! She must have had something. For me, "THE BEST DAY THE WORST DAY" was a bit of a tell-all, and has its exploitative moments like the recent book by Michael Bergin about Carolyn Kennedy. Why couldn't Hall have shown us more of the happy hours? Why alternate every chapter of her life with one of her dying? It smacks of something a poet might do, for effect, for formal reasons, rather than sitting back and thinking, "This will make my readers think that I valued her only when she was dying."
There's something of a Jane Kenyon industry right now, and this book and others like it will, of course, add bricks to the mortar. As we turn our love for Jane Kenyon's writing into an actual house of mourning, I find it hard to predict what will be next on the platter. I expect that somewhere, somebody is working on a volume of selected letters to go with the selected and collected poems we have already been given. The Bill Moyers film, oddly, already came out. It was one of the few things Jane Kenyon was happy about, for as Hall tells us sometimes work helped, and sometimes the occasional good news like getting the NEA award of the Guggenheim. Good for her. Everybody needs something.

Book Description
The sinister Gestapo planted its evil roots in the 1930s but it was during the horror of World War II that this notorious organization became identified as the Nazis' leading instrument of repression. Edward Crankshaw provides an authoritative overview of the organization, examining the trail of destruction it blazed across Europe, looking at its structures and its rivalries with other police organizations, and revealing the struggle for power within the Gestapo's nefarious bureau. As this brilliant book makes compellingly clear, the Gestapo grew. It sought out resistance brutally suppressing it with torture and execution used repression to deter opposition, filled the concentration camps with political opponents and ethnic 'undesirables,' and actively sought to promote the Nazi state's perverse policies

A panoramic view of the Gestapo........2007-01-27
This book was written a few decades back but still has an allure to it. The book depicts most of the brutalities performed by the members of this infamous organization (the Gestapo that is). Also, the book brings alive the main characters of the Gestapo and other sister organizations (the SD for example) and paints a background that enables the reader to see the "forrest" in spite of the tall trees. The prose is beautiful and clear thus making the book highly readable. Trying to unravel the mind of the Germans, the author engages a bit into German bashing. This is a book that I am happy to own.
Rubbish........2002-01-21
If you are a person wanting to have ALL books about Gestapo buy it. Otherwise do no spend your money. The author does not hide what he thinks: "although a Nazi, Helldorf retained to the end a certain feeling of decency" in page 106 is part of a very long list of personal disqualifications. This kind of book is not history but rubbish.
Nevertheless, I was suprised to find that the members of the Gestapo were only 40,000. This is a rather small number for all Europe (1944). It is widely known that the USA-backed military regimes in Latin America (in the 60's and 70's) have more people in their security services for minor populations.
All the other facts mentioned in the book can be found in more serious texts about the same topic.
Good Info.......2000-07-27
This book has very good information about the founding of the Gestapo and what it did. It also features in-depth descriptions of how people like Goering, Himmler, and Heydrich, among others, played a role in the Gestapo. The book is well researched, easy to read, fairly fast paced, and is broken down into small, easy to read chapters. My one quarrel with the book was that Crankshaw often described what the SS as a whole was doing rather than what just the Gestapo was up to. Still, a very good book and one of the few on the Gestapo.
Crankshaw does not spare anyone!.......1998-12-10
This is the first history of the Gestapo -- the Nazi instrument of terror used within Germany and beyond -- that I have seen. The Gestapo is traced back to the start of the reign of National Socialism in 1933 through the Final Solution until its collapse in 1945. Special attention is paid to the individuals of this instrument of tyranny, namely Hermann Goering, the one who first controlled the Gestapo right through to Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler and Heinrich "Gestapo" Mueller, who became its rightful chief. The Crimes of the Reich Security Main Office, the branch of the SS that controlled the SD and the Gestapo, are revealed with the greatest of force, leaving individuals like Adolf Eichmann, Otto Ohlendorf, Christian Wirth, Rudolf Hoess and others with no chance to plea, seeming that they were some of the main perpetrators of this terrible crime against humanity. Edward Crankshaw's book, first published in 1956, has not yet shown signs of old age, seeming that he was one of the few historians that attempted to report on an elusive organization that all came to recognize as another word for mayhem.
Book Description
“A clear, trenchant book on a topic of enormous
importance... Overall this is a courageous plunge
into boiling waters. If it helps propel forward a
debate that has hardly begun in this country it will
have performed a signal scholarly and political
function.”
—Tony Judt, New York University
“. . . a pioneering text. . . . [A]s such it will take pride
of place in a brewing debate.”
—Gary Sussman, Tel Aviv University
The One-State Solution demonstrates that Israeli
settlements have already encroached on the occupied
territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the extent
that any Palestinian state in those areas is unviable.
It reveals the irreversible impact of Israel’s settlement
grid by summarizing its physical, demographic, . nancial,
and political dimensions. Virginia Tilley explains
why we should assume that this grid will not be withdrawn
—or its expansion reversed—by reviewing the
role of the key political actors: the Israeli government,
the United States, the Arab states, and the European
Union. Finally, the book addresses the daunting obstacles
to a one-state solution—including major revision
of the Zionist dream but also Palestinian and other
regional resistance—and offers some ideas about how
those obstacles might be addressed.

Recipe for a second holocaust.......2007-08-10
Virginia Tilley distorts history, demonizes the Jewish people, and skips over fact.
Tilley ((a Hamas supporter) denies Israel's right to exist and calls for a 'unitary' Arab dominated 'Palestine' to replace Israel, in which Jews would be a helpless minority at the mercy and whim of HAMAS , as the Jews in Europe and the Arab countries (from which 800 000 Jews where expelled in 1948.) were at the mercy of their persecutors. If Tilley's demmand became a reality, Jews would wait, huddled in their ghettos, to be massacred by the Arabs.
YTilley and others who call for Israel's replacement by a 'unitary Palestine' know full well that this would lead to a second Holocaust of Israel's five million Jews.
How well did the 'unitary state ' work in Lebanon where hundreds of thousands of Christian Lebanese were massacred by the PLO and Syrians and went from being a majority in 1975 to a minority today? How well did the Animist and Christian Nilotic Blacks in Darfur and Southern Sudan fare in Sudan where millions have been massacred, or the Kurds in Iraq where 800 000 were butchered by Saddam Hussein?We all know how minorities fare in Arab countries and what makes anyone think the Jews in your suggested 'unitary Palestine' would fare any better, given the amount of hate in Palestinian society for Israel's Jews.
Why out of a massive landmass under Arab control , and a number of Arab states (today they number 22) it is regarded as such an injustice that a number of Arabs should be a minority in a Jewish State, where they enjoy full civil and political rights.
Jewish statelessness had led to the slaughter of 6 million Jews during the holocaust.
Tilley falsely refers to the nation-state as an anachronism, conveniently ignoring currents events around the world and recent history.
Those insulated academics who refer to the nation-state as an anachronism are ignoring the message of recent history, which has seen the birth (or rebirth) of a plethora of nation-sates, from the ruins of enforced multi-national artificial entities : Hence in the last 18 years we have seen the independence of nation-states including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Eritrea and East Timor.
The meaning of Israel is clear. The Jew has experienced too much death, and a portion of the Jewish people decided that they would die quietly no more (especially after Hitler's Holocaust). So it is: and no argument, no clever political talk, no logic and no parading of right and wrong can change this fact.The Jews returned to Israel because it was their ancient land. From 1810 onwards, Jews in the Land of Israel have been murdered by Arabs. The pious Jews of Safed, who would raise no hand in their defense, were robbed and murdered and burned out again and again by Arabs - as where the Jews in Jerusalem and Tiberias. Bedouin Arabs passed through Land of Israel at will-and robbed and killed Jews for profit. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Arab feudal lords in the Land of Israel organized pogroms precisely as the Tsar had organized pogroms.
In 1920 Jews where massacred by Arabs in Jerusalem, in 1921 in Jaffa and in 1929 in Hebron. Thousands of Jews where murdered in 1936 to 1939 in the Nazi inspired Arab Revolt. Since 1948 Arabs have launched wars against Israel to try to drive Jews into the sea and since Arafat launched the latest war in 2000, after rejecting a peace deal, thousands of Jewish men women and children have died in Israel by bomb, bullet and knife. Jews will never again be put into a position where they can be subjected to another Holocaust (particularly in the ancient Jewish homeland).
p.s Virginia Tilley now lives in South africa where she leads a campaign to demonize Israel and bully the Jewish community that supports Israel.
Her rhetoric is vicious and fanatical, and racist against the Jews of Israel.
A possible solution to the now defunct two state solution.......2007-06-21
As many Palestinian and even some Israeli scholars have already known for years (since Oslo), thw two state solution is no longer a reasonable option for a viable Palestinian state. The Israeli government with its illegal wall that cuts into West Bank, settlement blocks, and access roads have made it impossible for any state to emerge from the occupied territories. Based on what is known now, any new Palestinian state that would arise would be essentially within Israel.
Virginia Tilley's book shows the problems with the two state solution and shows an alternative argued by both sides of the conflict: the one state solution. She also presents the obvious political implications to this proposal (dismantling of the Zionist regime in Israel, etc).
This book is an excellent work to include amongst the vast scholarly literature on the conflict as well as its possible rational solution based on the facts on the ground today.
In an age of global multi-ethnic communities, one ethnic state is an obsolete concept and no longer applies to Israel (20% of their population is Arab). One multi ethnic and religious Palestine is the more realistic solution
Refreshing Take on an Intractable.......2007-01-19
Virginia Tilley offers a refreshing and, I suspect for most, a fairly novel perspective on viewing the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, as well as offering some very substantive solutions to a seemingly insoluble dilemma. At times, she does paint the situation with some overly broad strokes, but her analysis is generally thorough and well documented. Her historical analysis tends to exaggerate Jewish/Israeli "complicity" in aggravating the conflict, and tends to overly downplay the role and impact of extremist elements in the Arab/Palestinian camp, which after all, led to early Palestinian Arab rejection of the very solution, based on the "bi-national" model, which she now offers. She does very correctly depict the conflict as more of a "civil war", rather than a general Arab vs. Jewish dispute; while at the same time she does allude to the very significant peripheral role that these larger communities play in fueling the conflict.
Overall, her proposal for a "one-state" solution, though somewhat simplistic in that it fails to depict the depth and intensity of opposing passions on both sides of the fence, is both reasonable and sound, and as she consistently points out, it's ultimately the ONLY solution. Much to her credit, she does recognize the role that passions, both rational and irrational play in this conflict, but fails to penetrate the role that historical circumstances play in generating and fueling them. Like almost all academics, she reflexively draws the parallel with South Africa, but in reality, the social situation in the "Jewish" state is more akin to the pre-civil rights era in this country, since the highly institutionalized structure of "apartheid" that existed in South Africa is far from present in Israel, though certain similarities in the apartheid mindset clearly inspire some Israeli laws.
In conclusion, I would applaud Virginia on her creativity and boldness in addressing this most volatile of issues from a refreshing perspective; after all, the "one-state" solution is what I've been advocating for over 30 years, long before it started to become trendy. However, I've always advocated the "one-state" to be establish under Israeli, not Palestinian, auspices, as you don't dismantle an existing, and certainly a very viable, apparatus to recreate one of dubious legitimacy. Obviously, Arab Palestinian would be given the opportunity for citizenship in this "new" Israel, and that citizenship would grant absolute equality for all; however, as Virginia well states, there would still be a role for cultural/ethnic (though not necessarily geographic) autonomy in this restructured state, along with essential guarantees that the nature of the state could never be changed without the majority consent of all concerned; i.e., both Jews and Arabs. While anathema to most Israeli Jews, and Jews worldwide, this does, in fact, represent the very solution that many Jews had previously embraced during the British Mandate period; albeit vehemently rejected by the Mufti of Jerusalem and apparently the bulk of the most vocal representatives of the Palestinian Arab community.
A must read for anyone involved in resolving this never-ending debacle; and one I believe is destined to set the bar on future publications regarding this conflict.
Changed my whole view.......2006-01-13
I first heard about this book from friends who are angry about it, so I figured I wouldn't bother with it. After all, only some seriously ignorant ideologue would think a one-state solution for this conflict could ever work, right? But then one of my uncles, who happens to be a Holocaust survivor, told me to read it and not have preconceptions, and that it had given him hope for the first time in years.
So partly out of curiosity and partly to be nice to him I picked up a copy. I couldn't put it down, read it in five days, stayed up after midnight... it wrecked several nights' sleep. First, Tilley writes plain brilliantly. Each chapter flows like a page-turner, which isn't easy to do with this kind of material. Mainly, though, she has so many facts at hand, and works through the arguments so carefully, that her argument hit me as air-tight. After each chapter I felt my whole understanding of this conflict spinning around on its axis. But just when I was ready to despair, Tilley offered a way forward that is truly inspirational to me, and that's not easy for a middle-aged Jewish cynic to say about any book these days, let alone one on the Middle East. By the last page, I had tears in my eyes... and nothing to do with them except write this review.
Anyone who trashes this book hasn't read it. Tilley covers so much ground, from history to sociology and geography... it makes a complete picture. She is also very careful, and balanced in her way, but not in that false meaning of "balance" that really means not dealing with Israel's policies and what is really going on, even if those facts are terribly painful to face. I felt her compassion in every line even while she was trashing some of my most closely held beliefs. I wanted to attack her argument several times but never could... rest assured, the book has full references for those who care about such things. Yet it escapes the academic trap (I see from the cover that she's a political science professor) and flows so well that most of us non-academics can float right through it.
But this book isn't just gripping. It's important. I've talked to my friends about putting together a reading group just on this book. Some great classroom debates could come out of it, I imagine. My only advice to anyone picking up this book is to really READ it... read all of it, maybe a chapter at a time, because you have to get the entire picture to realize how much ground it covers and how powerful it is, and how much it matters that we all start dealing with a one-state solution. Before I read this book, I thought the idea was nuts. After reading it, I think we can do it... but more, we have to do it.
Scholarly and Balanced.......2005-11-24
Few people are as qualified to write about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the author of this book. She is a professor of political science with a PhD from the university of Wisconsin with special emphasis on ethnic conflict. Further, Dr. Tilley has had twenty years direct experience with this conflict, including living there for two years. The book, is scholarly, well-documented, and illustrated with maps. It can serve as an excellent background for this conflict, and includes a discussion of the important international actors: the Zionist movement, the Arab States, the United States of America, Europe, and the United Nations.
Conflicts can be resolved by three ways: prevalence, compromise, and transcendence. The first alternative of prevalence, that is, of one party totally defeating the other has failed. Cleansing that land of historic Palestine of one ethnicity or the other has not been possible and is unthinkable, though some continue to advocate such a solution.
The second alternative is compromise: the two-state solution, one Jewish, the other Palestinian. This book convincingly argues that this is not a viable solution that will bring peace to the area and the world at large. Some of the reasons are:
1. The identity and mytho-history of both peoples are based on the total area of historic Palestine. Their collective consciousness will not rest with a fraction of the land.
2. Demographic mixture: Jews live in large numbers in the West Bank occupying 60% of the lad, and it has become unthinkable that they will vacate the area. Palestinians constitute 20% of the population of Israel. Any separation is tantamount to apartheid.
3. Natural resources, especially water, are impossible to divide, and will continue to be a source of tension. About two-thirds of the water Israel consumes comes from the aquifer under the West Bank.
4. Economic: the two economies and potentially the labor force are inextricably linked and interdependent.
5. Politico-legal legitimacy: basing a State on one ethnicity necessarily results with discrimination. Israel cannot be Jewish and also democratic.
A meta-conflict, such as this one, cannot be resolved with compromise and needs to be transcended by forming one democratic secular State for all concerned. After reading this book, I am left convinced of the statement at the end of Chapter 3: "Hence, the one-state solution is not an option to be argued. It is an inevitability to be faced."
This is not to say that this will be an easy solution. Dr. Tilley discusses the potential difficulties and offers proposals for their resolution. Rather than endlessly arguing how to divide this small piece of land, as has been done over the past fifteen years, the energy should be directed towards forming one-State.
Such a State will open the Arab and Muslim worlds for cultural and economic exchange. It will also serve as a bridge between the Middle East on one side and Europe and North American on the other side; contributing to the peace and stability of the entire world.
With this solution the concept of the "Promised Land" will be transformed from the physical to the moral. Rather than warring over a piece real estate, the struggle will be for human rights, justice, and the well-being of the individual. Could it be this is what the God of Abraham really meant by the "Promised Land"?
