Book Description
Absolutely incredible, and brutally honest, this amazing story recounts the adventures of a British SAS soldier turned mercenary. McAleese fought in some of the world's most dangerous places, from Aden to Rhodesia (against the guerrillas of Zanla), and he nearly lost his life trying to assassinate Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar. Always in search of the "intense high" of battle, for 25 years he saw almost constant combat...putting him in a unique position to reveal the harsh realities of modern warfare.
Customer Reviews:
McAleese is a great soldier, and writes a great book.......2001-07-13
This is a great read for someone interested in the special forces operations. Such as the SAS, 1 Para, Rhodesian SAS, and mercenary work. The book is an action packed, yet informative read that has a lot of humanity and insight to it. McAleese has led a great life, and an adventurous one at that. If you are interested in learning more about life as an elite soldier or mercenary read NO MEAN SOLDIER.
McAleese is indeed No Mean Soldier.......2001-04-18
This book is an interesting account of a soldier who has been involved in actual combat for almost 20 years of his life.
This career has spanned the British Airborne and Special Forces, Rhodesian and South African Special Forces and as a Mercernary in Africa and South America.
The book itself is a very good read, and conveys much of the reality of modern battle, and also much of it's humour. It's the tragedy that comes through most strongly though, especially in the breakup of Rhodesia, which is still troubled now, over 20 years later, and Callan's massacure of his own troops.
It's certainly a page turner, and I finished the book wondering, "What will he do next?"

Book Description
Until now there has never been a full biography of America's most accomplished naval commander in the Age of Sail, Johnston Blakeley, probably because most of his papers went down with him and his sloop-of-war Wasp in 1815, under circumstances that have yet to be fully explained. Consulting previously untapped sources on both sides of the Atlantic, Stephen Duffy has resurrected the remarkable life and career of this forgotten hero and in the process painted one of the most vivid portraits available of the early American Navy in war and peace.
Filling an important gap in the literature of early U.S. naval history, this book focuses on the Wasp's historic cruise of 1814, when Blakeley defeated a force larger than any of his more famous contemporaries--Decatur, Bainbridge, and Hull--and with fewer resources, in waters closer to English soil, and with less sea time than any other British or American commander. Blakeley was the only officer to take two enemy vessels of similar size in a single cruise, one a hard-fought boarding action and the other at night. But Blakeley eventually paid the ultimate price because, unlike his fellow ship captains, he followed orders and pressed the attack.
Relying almost exclusively on primary sources, Duffy debunks many myths about Blakeley's battle exploits, early career, and untimely end. His use of uncataloged pension and accountant records as well as British court-martial records, official correspondence, logs, and unpublished journals contribute to an unparalleled examination of the lives of junior officers, warrant officers, and able seamen. The result is one of the best descriptions ever written of life aboard ship under sail. In addition, Duffy's research unearthed new details about the design and building of the 22-gun corvette and Wasp's sister ships, as well as their operational contributions to the fledgling American Navy's legacy of victory. With the publication of this landmark study, the shamefully neglected Blakeley, takes his proper place in the pantheon of American military honor and establishes Stephen Duffy as a bold new voice in historical scholarship.

What a great book !.......2001-07-19
This is the second review of this book I have written for Amazon. This time around, I would rate it 10 if I could. This is the finest research I have ever come across about a most fascinating time and man. It is a must read for anyone interested in history, maritime affairs and the war of 1812. I just wish I could have been the author. Bravo.
Excellent book on a largely forgotten War of 1812 commander.......2001-03-20
Stephen Duffy's "Captain Blakeley and the Wasp: The Cruise of 1814" tells, and tells well, the story of Master Commandant Johnston Blakeley and the highly successful and ultimately doomed cruise of the US Navy sloop of war Wasp in 1814. Through exhaustive research, Duffy chronicles in detail the building of the Wasp at Newburyport, Massachusetts, and Blakeley's struggles to outfit and crew his new ship, an effort made more difficult by national politics and by rivalries within the Navy command structure. The tale of the Wasp's cruise across the Atlantic and into the English Channel is of necessity less comprehensive because many crucial records were lost when Blakeley and his command vanished at sea after twin victories over Royal Navy brigs in British home waters. Although Blakeley was able to forward his official reports of the two battles before his ship disappeared, it is the missing unofficial information which prevents Duffy from fully reconstructing what happened when the Wasp captured HMS Reindeer and then sank HMS Avon. Despite this limitation, Duffy does provide clear analyses of the two actions, reaching rather different conclusions about the sequence of events during the Wasp-Reindeer fight than heretofore have been published.
It has been said that a biographer must have a personal liking for his subject for the labor in writing the book to be anything other than a burden, and certainly Duffy has a great admiration for Johnston Blakeley. His assessment of his hero as America's most accomplished naval commander during the age of sail perhaps errs on the side of hyperbole, but the book leaves no doubt that Blakeley deserves greater fame than he is usually accorded. Duffy was handicapped by the paucity of primary source accounts from Blakeley and his close associates, so he frequently was forced to resort to speculation about the thoughts of the young officer regarding various situations. At the very least, Duffy presents a valuable and interesting study of a junior officer in the small American navy at the beginning of the 19th Century.
Clear For Action!.......2001-03-14
This little gem of a book is exactly what every enthusiast of the age of fighting sail is looking for: engaging characters, beautifully designed tall ships, and plenty of action. It reads like a novel, is full of larger than life characters, and the ship to ship actions are better than anything you'll read in the novels of Alexander Kent, Richard O'Brien, and CS Forrester.
Captain Blakeley (his naval rank as commander of the USS Wasp, a sloop of war, was actually Master Commandant) is proclaimed by the author as the most accomplished US Navy captain in the War of 1812. In his single cruise with the Wasp, he sank two British ships of war of near-equal strength in hull to hull fights and captured and destroyed a slew of merchantmen as he prowled the sea lanes. He had been on successful cruises with the Enterprise and the Argus, and continued his professional successes on the newly built and commissioned USS Wasp, the last ship so named in the War of 1812. Sadly, after her last victory, she sailed off into legend and was lost at sea from unknown causes, the families of the crew never knowing what happened to their loved ones.
This is a most valuable addition to the literature of the period and a definite must for the historian and enthusiast. The author has done a masterful job here. It is carefully researched, is a very quick read, as you can't put it down, and is accurate. This book is highly recommended and I couldn't help thinking that it would make an outstanding motion picture.

Entirely ridiculous account.......2006-04-01
What Engler did do is leave us in a worse situation than when he came into office? His bloated stories and accomplishments are only figments of him, his friends and buddies, and those that he so deftly enchanted by this so-called politician. What is correct, is that Engler channeled the funds from public schools, and out of the taxpayers hands, and into the business minds, private sector, and the rich and very powerful folks that still hold some of the keys. We were all told, and it was reported in the Free Press and Lansing State Journal shortly before his departure, that the state of Michigan had billions in it's coffers, and that Michigan could confront any 'rainy day' if need be. Where's the money at? Where did it all go? A week after Granholm came into office, she found the state in a fiscal crisis and has had to make cuts ever since just to catch up. So there goes Engler, and soon to follow we're his buds. By the way, anyone who thinks we're better off now, with fewer unions and a republican stuffed government, needs to have their head examined. GM is about ready to leave, possibly Ford in the near future. Job security is a thing of the past, and the folks who want to change us once again, are the very people helping to ship America overseas and keep us in wars that should have never happened. Thanks, we love you... Until the next Civil War!!!
Political Tripe.......2005-02-04
Just finished this work and I have to say the author and the other reviewers must now live somewhere else besides Michigan. John Engler left this state in a fiscal crisis caused by his politicians desire not to cut spending in spite of falling revenues. His legacy of junior conservatives gumming up the political works with
ill thought out programs and fiscal gerrymandering, continues to haunt us.
Superb Study of Leadership.......2003-02-20
Gleaves Whitney's John Engler: The Man, The Leader & The Legacy is a superb book about one of the nation's most important governors in the last half-century. The book is must reading for those that wish to understand either the rise of the modern conservative movement or the attributes and sacrifices necessary for true political leadership.
The author, a long-time Engler speechwriter, interviewed over 150 individuals who had been a part of John Engler's life. The Engler story is told through their words, with narrative provided by the author. Make no mistake: this book is not a hagiography. While the book contains many glowing comments about Engler, it is also presents the viewpoints of Engler's adversaries. The Governor is accused of "lacking soul" by a liberal adversary (and she was not referring to his lyrical ability), heavily criticized by ostensible allies (such as the GOP Chairwoman), and painted as a thug by legislators from both parties. If you are looking for a warm and fuzzy story, you will not find it here.
What you will find is a remarkable account of a farm kid from Beal City, Michigan (a suburb of Mt. Pleasant) who never lost an election, despite the long odds against him (He knocked off 2 incumbent state reps, an incumbent senator, and an incumbent governor). You will also be treated to an account of how Engler took the reigns of high-tax, union-dominated Michigan and completely altered its character.
Engler defied the conventional wisdom in 1991 when he cut off tens of thousands of able-bodies welfare recipients from the public dole. Liberals predicted riots and rampant homelesness. Not only did Michigan avoid the aforementioned problems, but served as a laboratory of democracy for the welfare reform debate that was to shape the 1990's. Welfare reform seems so obvious, almost inevitable, today, but in 1991, welfare was thought untouchable. Engler was villified for his stand, but eventually won the debate because of the soundness of his ideas and the iron of his backbone.
Whitney's book also explores the role of Engler on the national scene. Besides Engler's role in the welfare debate, Whitney examines his experience in the 1996 Presidential campaign (he was almost chosen Vice-President) and Engler's most bitter political moment--McCain's victory over Bush in the Michigan Republican Primary.
I enjoyed the book, and hope you enjoy this rather novel approach to political biography. The author regards his work as the first draft of history. Let us thank the author for leaving so little to revise in subsequent drafts.
(Full disclosure: I am a friend of Gleaves Whitney, and I worked for Governor Engler 1997-99)
John Engler: Education Reformer.......2002-12-18
People who believe that public education, despite its woes, can be made to reform should read Gleaves Whitney's rich new documentary biography of Michigan's three-term Governor John Engler. Whitney provides street-level political evidence--personal testimonials, inaugural addresses, newspaper stories, op-eds, policy studies, and myriad interviews--that shows how a determined, clever, and duly elected leader can bring about long-term change. Readers can savor Engler's shrewd call, early in his tenure, to eliminate an inequitable state property tax that funded schools, his insistence on rigorous student testing as a guide to effective policy, his championing of charter schools and other choices for families condemned to failing schools. Engler achieved his successes against the demonizing tactics of the Michigan Education Association and other opponents who, interviewed here, seem chagrined at their failure and naivete. Whitney covers many more topics in this authorized yet evenhanded biography--welfare reform, the Governor's family life, economic boom, the three elections--but the thread of renewed educational opportunity runs throughout. The book is a valuable resource, giving a multifaceted view of the man who made Michigan a leadership state for education reform.

An Odyssey in Nature .......2007-08-21
An incredibly beautiful journal written by a young child prodigy. It is lyrical and delightful. A wonderful book.
hoff Vs. beck.......2006-01-28
I'm a huge fan of Benjamin Hoff. Who is a spiritual writer that a guy like me (who doesn't keep "earth crystals" in pocket or wreak of Nag Champa) can get into. I could go on glowingly about the passion that Hoff applies while exploring his subject. I would be someone pointed out to me that Hoff had been discredited by Katherine Beck. So I'm kind of writing a dual review using Beck's book as a jumping off point.
Some facts about Beck's book:
1) Beck never really discredits Opal for writing the book when she claimed: she admits that:
a) Opal was incredibly bright as a teenager, bizzarely aware of the latin names of plants and animals. beck admits that by 15 or she was already a prodigy. But never attempts to explain how that related to possibly she could have been a brilliant writer as a child.
b) Beck claims in response to forensic information favorable to at least part of Opal's story, that Opal planned the hoax by saving old scraps of paper and crayons from her childhood for 10 or 15 years and moving with to multiple houses and states to write the diary, appearantly hedging against future forensic technology, then torn her work to shreds and left it in jeopardy in a place where it could have been destroyed just to really sell people on it's authenticity. Also as native of the Willamete Valley I've met people who can recreate her journeys, which would have been hard to fake from a distance. That's about as crazy as any claims Opal made about the book.
c) Beck gives examples of other child authors of the time who she feels were better writers, so why would be inconcievable to her that a substandard counterpart would exist? She doesn't even touch on it.
2) Beck doesn't like Opal at all, she doesn't like her writing, kind implies she was harlot and a racist, and worst of all for me personally; she's glib about Opal's crippling mental illness.
3) Beck seems affectionate for amatuer Opalites but seems to think people like Hoff and Nassif are nuts and paints Boulton as criminally Naive. She doesn't seem think Opal should be taught in schools, or at least thinks its screwball.
4) Beck takes no time to really examine the spiritual significance of the book, except to say she thinks it's pre-new age tripe. To Beck it was popular at the time because people were gulliable and if it's getting a comeback now it must be for the same reason.
Even being horder of Opal related history I got bored because reading someone's account of how much they dislike someone who was at worst kind of a liar and bad writer (remember it's not like Opal was dictator or anything) gets really, really tedious after about 50 pages. Also discrediting the most widely discredited author of the last 100 years is not an exciting read. I think the Seattle Times called it "Myopic" which it is, that and commendably thorough and also kind of spiteful. I've been trying to find people to disscuss the book with who aren't Opalites, who dispise Beck. I did talk to one guy who hates Opal and Opalites for very personal reasons but he was a little bored by the book and didn't finish it. The same man read Hoff and praised his writing but didn't see Opal's appeal.
Now, Hoff, by contrast, is over flowing with praise for Opal. Beck interestingly "uncovers" a fact printed in book. Hoff was in love Opal, or the concept of her. So we can't call him biased. He presents a rosy picture of the girl who obiviously had a darkside. At the same time I like Hoff because he comes to the most rational conclusion about the book: It was written by a highly functional abused little schitzophrenic girl, and likely futzed with later in her life. Opal is a tragic figure to anyone who sees beauty in her wierd prose and a non-sequitor for anyone who doesn't. Hoff isn't bias free but no one is biasless about Opal. Also his repackaging of the diary is in my opinion the definitive version. Hoff is a brilliant counterpart in the present day to Opal. Who is due for a looking over outside of the neigh-sayers and new-agers.
A Tender Heart.......2005-10-08
To say this is my favorite book of all time, my most treasured, the one I would grab in a housefire - that is just a beginning. Opal brings us into the innocence and wonder of childhood in a way that inspires us to reclaim that part of ourselves. There are haunting scenes that pull you to love her and precious glimpses into her imaginings that wake you up to the magic in life. As she trots around with critters in her pockets and on her shoulders with names inspired by the great writers, christens baby chicks in the barn and finds notes and ribbons left by the fairies in the woods, Opal delights us and opens our hearts to a more tender place.
Astounding literature.......2005-07-19
This book is the diary of a six-year-old girl named Opal Whiteley, who grew up in Oregon logging camps in the early 1900s. She loved nature and her writing style was inimitably beautiful.
Her diary was published first in 1920, but became the centre of a large controversy and was dismissed as a fraud. Mr Hoff discovered a copy of this book by chance in 1983, and was so fascinated by it that he spent years researching the life of Opal to determine the true story.
It most certainly is no fraud. Mr Hoff opens this book with a very well-researched, unbiased biography of Opal which proves beyond doubt that this really was her diary written at age six. He follows this up with the diary (or what exists of it), and ends with the tale of his story of trying to meet Opal personally.
The tone of the book, by the time you have read from beginning to end, is one of tragedy. However, like the lonely, brave tones of a bird chirping through the twilight its farewell to the setting sun and a day that shall never return, beauty sometimes IS bitter sweet; but the quiet love, the charming way Opal describes her surroundings, her pets, the people she meets, and the voices of the natural world which Opal understood so well balance out the sadness and make this book well worth reading and adding to your personal collection.
Opal's story is at once a sad commentary on the way one small hint of a rumour can snowball into the destruction of a person's life and a celebration of childhood and nature. It is mostly the latter.
This is a brief passage from the diary part of the book, to give you a sample of its simplistic yet profound loveliness.
"And all the times I was picking up potatoes, I did have conversations with them. Too, I did have thinks of all their growing days here in the ground, and all the things they did hear. Earth-voices are glad voices, and earth-songs come up from the ground through the plants; and in their flowering, and in the days before these days are come, they do tell the earth-songs to the wind. And the wind in her goings does whisper them to folks to print for other folks, so other folks do have knowing of earth's songs. When I grow up, I am going to write for children - and grownups that haven't grown up too much - all the earth-songs I now do hear."
Doesn't that just sound like such music?
Please read this book. Take it to heart.
And thank you, Mr Hoff, for your loving tribute to an amazing woman, and for the hard work you did to bring this masterpiece back into the public eye.
Will change the way you see your own surroundings.......2003-04-19
This beautiful, lyrical journal, written by a 6-year-old prodigy from the backwoods of Oregon, will have you gazing in wonder at fire hydrants and listening to the song of the subways. Opal has a direct relationship with every tree, horse, rat and blade of grass in her backyard, and is able to see every living thing as a gift from God.
The story behind the publication of the journal is a sad one, but the diary itself is timeless and transcendent. Opal may have died in obscurity but her lovely spirit lives on in her work.
Book Description
As a child growing up in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon at the turn of the century, Opal Whiteley roamed the fields and forests and logging camps, recording all she saw in a secret diary. She began her diary at the age of six, writing with colored pencils on scraps of butcher paper, wrapping paper and the backs of envelopes.
Opal preferred to be alone, spending her days in the forests with the animals and trees. Some of her friends were Michael Angelo Sanzio Raphael, the "most tall fir tree that grows back of the barn," and Thomas Chatterton Jupiter Zeus, "that most velvety wood rat."
Opal was considered by her family as an odd and different child. What they didn't know was that Opal was schizophrenic. The illness manifested itself in a heightened sense of awareness of the sights and sounds around her.
Her heightened sensibilities and her genius for expressing herself combined to create the most fascinating diary ever written.
Writing each day, she observed her surroundings in the mill town and wrote "a long time ago this road had a longing to go across the river, and some that had understanding made it a bridge to go across on."
While picking up potatoes in the field with her grandfather she wrote, "All the times I was picking up potatoes, I did have conversations with them. I have thinks these potatoes growing here did have knowings of star-songs. I have kept watch in the field at night, and I have seen the stars look kindness down upon them. I have walked between the rows of potatoes, and I have watched the star-gleams on their leaves. And as the wind did go walking in the field, I did follow her down the rows. Her goings-by made ripples on my nightgown."
Opal hid her secret diary in a hollow log in the woods near her home in Cottage Grove, Oregon. When Opal was 14, her younger sister found the diary and tore it to pieces in a fit of jealous anger. Heartbroken, Opal kept the pieces and stored them at a neighbor's house in an old hatbox.
When Opal was 23, she met Ellery Sedgwick. publisher of the Atlantic Monthly. Hoping he would publish her nature books for children, she told him of her childhood in the logging camps of the Cascade Mountains. Intrigued with her personality and her memory for detail, Sedgwick wondered if she had kept a diary as a child. She said that she had, and he asked to see it at once.
For nine months, Opal worked to piece her diary back together, and in 1920 The Diary of Opal Whiteley was published by the Atlantic Monthly. Hailed as a work of genius, capturing "the essence of the spirit of childhood," the diary of this 7 year-old girl became a national best-seller. But because of the diary's brilliance, people soon began to question if one so young could have written it, and Opal was quickly assailed as a fraud.
Ten months after its publication, the diary was out of print and Opal was disgraced. People were convinced they'd been tricked. They returned their copies of the diary and demanded repayment. Accused of literary fraud, Opal left the United States and made her home in England.
Opal's illness went untreated until 1948. She was found rummaging in the bombed- out rubble of buildings in England during World War II. She was looking for books. Her neighbors in the tenement house where she lived called the authorities and Opal was taken to a public mental hospital in Napsbury, England. She lived there as a patient until she died on February 16, 1992.
Was the childhood diary a fraud, written by an adult hungry for publicity, or was it simply the genius of a disturbed young girl? Reprinted after nearly a century of obscurity, the mysterious "DIARY OF OPAL WHITELEY" comes to life again.

A lovely book but quite possibly a fake........2007-08-21
A lovely and unique book but there's unfortunately lots of evidence that she didn't write it till she was a lot older: see Opal: A Life of Enchantment, Mystery, and Madness. Still worth a read but please take it with a grain of salt.

Only Opal.......2002-04-29
This story is about the life of a little girl named Opal who loves nature. Her mother and father died and went to Heaven. Just by looking at the pictures you can tell that she has a sad life. Her new mama is not very nice. Opal has a favorite tree that she loves. The tree is called Michael Raphael. He has an understanding soul. She also has a sweet dog named Brave Horatius. My favorite part is when Opal writes about her feelings. Kids who like to relax will like this book because it has soothing words. It has really great illustrations, too! This is a terrific story!
every edition is worthwhile.......2000-04-21
The "point" of the picture book edition of Opal's diary is to make it accessible to younger readers. I would not hand a young child Boulton's longer edition or _The Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow_, whereas any Barbara Cooney book can be recommended to young children without reservations.
That said, this edition is satisfying in itself. The book is touching and beautifully illustrated and unique. I recommend it highly, along with the other editions of the diary and everything else illustrated by Barbara Cooney.
Read the unabridged version -- it's much better.......1999-12-22
Opal Whitely's story is an utterly amazing thing in every respect. Her life as a child, her exquisite sensitivity, and her way of expressing herself -- it's all just amazing.
That said, I don't understand this version! Compared to Jane Boulton's original adaptation (if that's what you'd call it), "Opal, Journal of an Understanding Heart," this seems gutted and meaningless. Maybe it's meant to be less sad for young children, I don't know. Read the original version.

Hauntingly beautiful.......2004-12-12
I first encountered Opal Whitely in an earlier version of her journal, "The Journal of An Understanding Heart". The journal was amazing, but the introductory material was unsatisfactory. Hoff has researched more deeply into the amazing life of Opal Whitely, misunderstood mystic. Hoff's version is to be preferred.
Opal was special. "Melancholy" apparently ran in her family and afflicted her mother. Whether it was heredity or due to the harshness of her mother's treatment of her, Opal was paradoxically more deeply in touch with both reality and the fantasies she constructed to shield herself from its harsher aspects.
Opal showed great promise as a young teacher, combining scientific understanding with her panentheism, her empathy with all of nature. One wonders what might have been if she had been better understood, cherished for her uniqueness and nurtured to develop her potential during her life.
Neoteny is when a species evolves to retain juvenile features into adulthood. Humans paradoxically evolved our sophisticated cleverness by staying young, open to learning new things, longer than other animals. Opal tried to show us the next step in our evolution, but the world was not ready for Opal. Opal showed us a genius so pure that it was incompatible with the world in its current state of evolution. It was and is inevitable that her spirit would meet with tragedy, and that it would ultimately triumph. This journal is its triumph.
An amazing view of the world.......2001-09-11
Benjamin Hoff's foreward, biography and afterward paint a picture of an incredibly gifted little girl, but even his glowing bio does not prepare you for the depth and beauty of Opal's writing. Her view of the world, the wonderful names she gives the trees and creatures around her, her "angel mother" and "angel father", and her general view of life are the most awe inspiring I have ever read. If you are a nature lover, this is a must read.
