Product Description
From Publishers Weekly: From her work as a psychotherapist for adolescent females, Pipher here posits and persuasively argues her thesis that today's teenaged girls are coming of age in "a girl-poisoning culture." Backed by anecdotal evidence and research findings, she suggests that, despite the advances of feminism, young women continue to be victims of abuse, self-mutilation (e.g., anorexia), consumerism and media pressure to conform to others' ideals. With sympathy and focus she cites case histories to illustrate the struggles required of adolescent girls to maintain a sense of themselves among the mixed messages they receive from society, their schools and, often, their families. Pipher offers concrete suggestions for ways by which girls can build and maintain a strong sense of self, e.g., keeping a diary, observing their social context as an anthropologist might, distinguishing between thoughts and feelings. Pipher is an eloquent advocate. Psychotherapy Book Club selection; BOMC and QPB alternates.

The Crucible of War: Montgomery and Alamein: The Definitive History of the Desert War - Volume 3
Barrie Pitt Manufacturer: Cassell ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0304359521 |
Book Description
Rommel, the brilliant commander of the German Afrika Korps had finally been stopped by the British at the first battle of Alamein in July 1942. Now in this the last of the Barrie Pitt's three volume epic, Montgomery takes the field against him and in the last climatic battle once again at Alamein, it is the beginning of the end for Rommel and his Africa Korps. Barrie Pitt saw active service in both Europe and the Middle East. He edited the partwork History of the Second World War, and was Editor-in-Chief of Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II.Customer Reviews:
A lot of details, few insights.......2002-11-21
1) the author has a tendency to get lost in details many of them insignificants for the story, and some of them plain wrong (and the author could have corrected them).
2) the book is in the stream of war histories watched only by one side. It is interesting to note that the author never mentions the unusefulness of the battle of El Alamein: it is in fact well known that the Torch landings will have forced the Axis army to withdrawn anyway and therefore the British could have attacked the Axis much more easily. But this it would not have been a British-only victory, but an Anglo-American victory.
Therefore it seems a little pretentious to call this book the "definitive" history of the western desert war. Given the boredom caused by the plethora of details, it is more likely the "bed-time" history of desert war.
The Ferret vs. the Fox.......2002-01-10
After the quick and unexpected fall of Tobruk on June 21, 1942, to a carefully orchestrated air and ground attack by Rommel's Afrika Korps, the German advance in North Africa once again threatened the British hold on Egypt and the Suez Canal. Churchill flew to Cairo on August 3, split the Middle East command by creating Eighth Army, relieved Auchinleck and Ritchie, and placed Gen. Harold Alexander in command of Middle East Command and Lt. Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery in command of Eighth Army. Throughout the remainder of 1942, Montgomery led his Eighth Army to successive victories against the Desert Fox.
Montgomery had his work cut out for him, but he and his men inflicted a defeat on German forces at Alam Halfa on September 7, and thereafter methodically pressed the Afrika Korps back toward El Alamein. Rommel, who could no longer hope to regain the offensive in North Africa, now found his forces practically surrounded at El Alamein. From October 23 to November 4 the battle raged, and when it was over the Axis had been decisively defeated, their losses staggering. It was a prelude to Allied landings farther west on November 8, and the success of Soviet forces against the German 6th Army at Stalingrad in February the following year.
Thoroughly researched and written in a delightful, fast-paced style, Pitt gives readers their money's worth. I came away from "Montgomery and Alamein" with a far better appreciation of the man who arguably was Britain's most irascible commander, but also the most successful. It was once said of Montgomery that he was "quick as a ferret; and about as likeable." But in war there isn't room for nice guys. Montgomery knew that.
In the end, one has to give credit to Cassell & Co. for introducing all three volumes of their "Crucible of War" series on North African fighting-you won't want to buy one without purchasing the other two.
