Paths of Glory by Francis A. Miniter
It began last Saturday when I came upon a book entitled "Paths of Glory" by Irvin S. Cobb, whom I knew to be a Kentucky born journalist, humorist and novelist (1876 - 1944). I was familiar with his humorous work "J. Poindexter - Colored". But this find was a series of essays/articles written...

Book that mentions the fact that Libya quit it's nuclear arms race project and how Saddam Hussein got Iraq heavily bombed in the 1980's by [email protected]
The book is Persian Puzzle written in 2004 by Kenneth Pollack (available at amazon). The book mentions Iran getting the upper hand for a while in the Iran-Iraq War and heavily bombing the hell out of Iraq. This is important to read for those of you who think until the early 1990's, with the Gulf...

"The Illustrated Library of the World and Its Peoples" - recent editions? by [email protected]
This comes in 17 red volumes, I think, with LOTS of color photos, and each volume covers two or three small countries, or, in the case of China, the reverse. (That is, China takes 373 pages, or more than a volume and a half.) I'm guessing it's suitable for use by high-schoolers. The trouble is,...

What Do Willow Arune (William Orobko) and Michael Jackson Have in Common? by Pangarune Corner
What garbage. Not true at all. Now, apparently someone has brought up the Andrea James Survivors Group. Yes indeed. That group was started for a purpose. At the time, Andrea James had used her web site to attack many TS women and others. An individual response to her was not appropriate. I...

Lousy book that makes mass-murderer Saddam look good! by [email protected]
The book is The Greatest Story Ever Sold. It has no mention of Saddam's dreaded Anfal Campaign where he killed 180,000+ Kurds in one year or the fact that Gaddafi of Libya quit his own nuke bomb building project directly due to Saddam's demise by the occupying American Forces in 2003. The highly...

Please don't respond to cross-posted politics threads without trimming the headers by michael adams
Please don't respond to cross-posted off-topic politics threads - even to criticise them - without at least trimming the headers to r.c.b. Cross posters are often clueless and immune to reason and so not trimming may simply make matters worse. Thank you
