Only So-So.......2007-02-03
The author did a good job reviewing the literature, but the problem is that the literature (in English) regarding this battle, at the time of this publication, was mediocre. So, this book is by default mediocre, since the subject matter was mediocre. Much better books (Jason Mark) have been published since. Also, a much more useful book would be to include/review German & Russian sources (both archival & literature). That would be a useful review. This book? Maybe for a high schooler or younger, that's about it.
Very good.......2006-03-10
Stalingrad enthusiasts will like this book very much, even though the true Stalingrad scholar will always favour Stopped at Stalingrad by Dr Joel Hayward and The Road to Stalingrad by Professor John Erickson. This particular book here is not as thorough or new in terms of ideas, but is the best of the smaller accessable books. It's an interesting read too. I do commend Geoffrey Roberts.
An excellent book........2003-04-30
Having read two of Geoffrey Roberts' other books, I was eagerly awaiting the publication of "Victory at Stalingrad". My grandfather was killed in Stalingrad so I had a personal interest in reading about this period of the war. I was not disappointed. Roberts details the events of this amazing period of World War II with great understanding and does full justice to the true significance of the battle and the people who lost their lives.
The indispensable starting point.......2003-03-22
Anyone interested in the history of World War II should read this book. In less than 200 pages Geoffrey Roberts analyzes the battle of Stalingrad and places it in the context of the entire war. In addition to providing a balanced, concise, and informative account of the battle and its importance, the book includes such valuable features as a chronology of the battle, 11 maps, a glossary of military terms, biographical notes on the main participants, and an invaluable guide to further reading.
This fiery trial.......2003-03-11
Describing the American Civil war the then president described it as a fiery trial. Geoffrey Roberts has given us an account of another fiery trial. The book is an excellent read, describing not only the victory at Stalingrad but a short gripping account of the conflict on the eastern front. It is brief and to the point as well as having a factual analysis of the historical event.
Book Description
This brief book stresses the profound global transformation that has occurred since 1945 as a result of the collapse of the remaining great colonial empires, and the emergence of nation-states throughout the world. Its thematic emphasis makes clear as well the importance of the Cold War in influencing the process by which these nation-states sought to create new ideals and new institutions—to insure order and justice within their boundaries, and find places within the international community. The book also links the new nation-states in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, with the ethnic conflicts, local wars, and terrorist movements that became increasingly prevalent toward the end of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. For a world-historical perspective on contemporary civilization.

there are really much better books for sale.......2004-05-30
Brower's book - I am sad to say - doesn't do much else than putting the sequence of events after WW II in chronologic order.
There is hardly anything that we'd call "analysis". Let me give you four examples.
Page 230 (about international trade): "Western governments [...] encouraged developing states to integrate their countries in the global economy, especially by lowering the tariffs on imports from [...] the developed world." But Brower doesn't ever mention the policy of developed countries to protect their markets from imports from e.g. Third World farmers. See also: D. Bosscher et al., 2002.
Page 255 (about Somalia): "The nomadic peoples there [of Somalia] had proven unable to create a stable government [...]. It had become a failed state. [...] Nongovernmental organizations attempted to help the starving peoples, but were powerless to prevent the wardlord-led militia from stealing their supplies [...]."
If we have to believe Michael Maren's first hand witness report of Somalia ("The Road to Hell" ISBN 0743227867) the Western NGO's and the corrupt Somali government shared at least some common interests (!) and the NGO's in general might have been more concerned about 'staying in business' than to relief the needs of the Somali people, and thus might bear co-responsability for the Somali disaster.
Page 23 (about nuking Japan): "The concern of American military experts that without the use of the bomb the war might endure for months, bringing with it enormous US casualties, was well founded."
The reasons why Truman decided to use the bomb are still (!) subject to debate. Nowhere in his book Brower mentions that Japan (especially the zaibatsu) "might" have been on the brink of surrender and that the bomb "might" have been used (also) to show the American muscles to the USSR. See: T.E. Vadney, The World since 1945.
Page 231 (about the 1991 Gulf War): "It ended with a the triumph of a coalition of United Nations forces led by the United States [...]."
Vadney has pointed out that during the First Gulf War de UN did not even have a token command! It is quite debatable to call something a "UN coalition" when the UN are not in control.
My conclusion is that "Brower's world" since 1945 is a politically correct one that wouldn't upset any current or future US administration. But it doesn't lead to deeper understanding. Nor reflection. Nor learning.
Book Description
By the end of World War II, Americans' relationship with nature had changed dramatically. New consumption patterns drove an industrial economy that damaged the earth in new ways, and the atomic age heightened awareness of the earth's fragility. Environmental historian Steven Stoll identifies 1945 as the birth of American environmentalism-the point when conservation and nature advocacy fused with activism to form a political movement. nbsp;In this thematically organized collection of primary sources, Stoll traces the development of the environmental movement and identifies its central issues and ideologies, including the politics of preservation, population growth, biological interdependence, ecodefense, climate change, ethical consumption, and environmental justice. Stoll's insightful introduction provides students with a solid overview of environmentalism's origins and contextualizes the topics raised by the documents. Document headnotes, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography offer additional pedagogical support.

Book Description
Classical mechanics is a subject that is teeming with life. However, most of the interesting results are scattered around in the specialist literature, which means that potential readers may be somewhat discouraged by the effort required to obtain them. Addressing this situation, Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems includes some of the most significant papers in Hamiltonian dynamics published during the last 60 years. The book covers bifurcation of periodic orbits, the break-up of invariant tori, chaotic behavior in hyperbolic systems, and the intricacies of real systems that contain coexisting order and chaos. It begins with an introductory survey of the subjects to help readers appreciate the underlying themes that unite an apparently diverse collection of articles. The book concludes with a selection of papers on applications, including in celestial mechanics, plasma physics, chemistry, accelerator physics, fluid mechanics, and solid state mechanics, and contains an extensive bibliography. The book provides a worthy introduction to the subject for anyone with an undergraduate background in physics or mathematics, and an indispensable reference work for researchers and graduate students interested in any aspect of classical mechanics.

Classical Mechanics still has some life left.......2004-06-02
With all the to-do about Quantum Mechanics, one might suspect that Classical Mechanics is a dead field, with all the interesting problems solved.
Not quite! Classical Mechanics has a storied past, dating back to Lagrange and Newton. Mathematically, the book gives you the important historical papers. But, just as importantly, the editors have furnished recent papers that give you an idea of the cutting edge, circa 1987, when this book was assembled.
There are discussions about chaotic behaviour in various dynamical ensembles, and about the onset to chaos. Very much a new thing in the 1980s. And, indeed, with still much to be explored.
The papers also hail from a variety of fields. Particle accelerators, plasma, solid state, chemistry and fluid mechanics. Gives you a good feel for the current diversity of ways to apply your research.
Book Description
This riveting sequel to My Bloody Life traces Reymundo Sanchez’s struggle to create a “normal” life outside the Latin Kings, one of the nation's most notorious street gangs, and to move beyond his past. Sanchez illustrates how the Latin King motto “once a king, always a king” rings true and details the difficulty and danger of leaving that life behind. Filled with heart-pounding scenes of his backslide into drugs, sex, and violence,
Once a King, Always a King recounts how Sanchez wound up behind bars and provides an engrossing firsthand account of how the Latin Kings are run from inside the prison system. Harrowing testaments to Sanchez’s determination to rebuild his life include his efforts to separate his family from gang life and his struggle to adapt to marriage and the corporate world. Despite temptations, nightmares, regressions into violence, and his own internal demons, Sanchez makes an uneasy peace with his new life. This raw, powerful, and brutally honest memoir traces the transformation of an accomplished gangbanger into a responsible citizen.
Customer Reviews:
The gang life has not changed........2007-06-27
I live in the neighborhood and see the same things that the author went through in the youth today. Gang life destroys neighborhoods and familys and it saddens me to know that life continues to get worse for these young confused children that don't have God in their life.
Reality in Today's World.......2007-06-23
In a world dominated by drugs, sex, and violence Raymundo Sanchez begins to see an exit to the Latin Kings, one of Chicago's most feared Latino Gangs. He knows that to leave the gang will mean taking a three minute head to toe beating by three Latin Kings, something which could easily leave him dead.
Having earned the name "Lil Loco" in the prequel My Bloody Life for his random acts of violence and his alcohol, drug, and sex addictions Sanchez is now faced with the ultimate decision. Leave the Latin Kings once and for all or become more involved and continue his path to self destruction.
After being arrested, Sanchez has to face jail time which allows him to slow down his life and see things from a different perspective. He begins to see the Latin King's original message, to protect the Puerto Rican community, has faded and is now overcome by power and greed. The Latin Kings have turned on each other.
He must deal with their motto, "once a king, always a king." If he leaves the gang life he will always be haunted by his past. Others will always see him as a Latin King even if he's not involved. His life will always be in danger by rival gangsters.
The inability to keep a relationship due to his pimp lifestyle causes him to leave the one person who truly loved him. He must fight nightmares night after night, reliving the moments of death and pain he caused others.
Raymundo Sanchez's journey as he tries to leave the Latin Kings illustrates the struggle of leaving the gang life but in the end it proves well worth it.
Watching Humboldt Park from the boat house. .......2006-10-12
While reading this book I felt like I was watching a movie from the boathouse that sits in the middle of Humboldt Park by the "lake"-facing Kedzie St. It took me there. It was really captivating.
very important book.......2006-05-31
As the author of the Chicano gang novel FOREVER MY LADY on Amazon.com, I have to endorse this book. It is so important to see the reality of people living in the Chicano and Latino gang life. It is a group of people often ignored and looked down upon but who have heart and soul and this book helps you understand why they are the way they are. They are misunderstood but nevertheless alive and real. -- Jeff Rivera (Author of FOREVER MY LADY on Amazon.com)
Once A King Always A King.......2006-05-26
Age 13 and up. A brief summary of Once A King Always A King by, Reymundo Sanchez is just about Reymundo's life and how he struggles throughout it and how he has been a gangmember for ten years. The ten years have been of killings, beatings and drug deals. However, Reymundo finally wants to be able to make a change in his life and become a better person. He wants to be someone in life. This is not an easy task because he had to go through many obstacles to get to his attempts.

Book Description
As American and coalition troops fight the first battles of this new century -- from Afghanistan to Yemen to the Philippines to Iraq -- they do so in ways never before seen. Until recently, information war was but one piece of a puzzle, more than a sideshow in war but far less than the sum total of the game. Today, however, we find information war revolutionizing combat, from top to bottom. Gone are the advantages of fortified positions -- nothing is impregnable any longer. Gone is the reason to create an overwhelming mass of troops -- now, troop concentrations merely present easier targets. Instead, stealth, swarming, and "zapping" (precision strikes on individuals or equipment) are the order of the day, based on superior information and lightning-fast decision-making. In many ways, modern warfare is information warfare.
Bruce Berkowitz's explanation of how information war revolutionized combat and what it means for our soldiers could not be better timed. As Western forces wage war against terrorists and their supporters, in actions large and small, on several continents, The New Face of War explains how they fight and how they will win or lose. There are four key dynamics to the new warfare: asymmetric threats, in which even the strongest armies may suffer from at least one Achilles' heel; information-technology competition, in which advantages in computers and communications are crucial; the race of decision cycles, in which the first opponent to process and react to information effectively is almost certain to win; and network organization, in which fluid arrays of combat forces can spontaneously organize in multiple ways to fight any given opponent at any time.
America's use of networked, elite ground forces, in combination with precision-guided bombing from manned and unmanned flyers, turned Afghanistan from a Soviet graveyard into a lopsided field of American victory. Yet we are not invulnerable, and the same technology that we used in Kuwait in 1991 is now available to anyone with a credit card and access to the Internet. Al Qaeda is adept in the new model of war, and has searched long and hard for weaknesses in our defenses. Will we be able to stay ahead of its thinking? In Iraq, Saddam's army is in no position to defeat its enemies -- but could it defend Baghdad? As the world anxiously considers these and other questions of modern war, Bruce Berkowitz offers many answers and a framework for understanding combat that will never again resemble the days of massive marches on fortress-like positions.
The New Face of War is a crucial guidebook for reading the headlines from across our troubled planet.
Customer Reviews:
Pragmatic and On Target.......2006-03-20
Of all the books currently coming out about modern warfare, THE NEW FACE OF WAR by Bruce Berkowitz is conceptual and pragmatic more than political and personal. Its focus is on the vital role of information and communications, and he makes a cogent case for the primary importance of information in modern warfare by showing the evolving role of both in war, as well as the evolving nature of war, before zeroing in on the present. Not clogged with technical jargon, yet cogent, this book is excellent though being three years old, some of his final conclusions about modern information warfare may no longer hold true.
More anecdotal than I expected.......2005-12-20
This book is an attempt to look at the modern military, and how wars will, and should, be fought in the future. The idea is to show how wars can be won cheaply, both in lives and in money, and what we need to do in advance to make these things happen.
Warfare is changing, as everyone knows. Technology has moved with what seems to be ever-increasing speed, but it's driven weaponry in somewhat unexpected directions. For instance, while nations who participated in the Second World War introduced new tanks at a prodigious rate during the war, and the various Cold War competitors redesigned these vehicles pretty regularly during that period, the United States hasn't had a new tank in about 25 years now: and ours is typically pointed out as the superior tank, in spite of this.
What is changing, however, is the technology of information. Nowadays, instead of trying to hit a tank with many bombs or artillery shells, the United States has the capability to use various "smart" munitions which can hit the target from hundreds, even thousands of miles away. This means that the technology level of the target is less important: if it gets killed by a smart bomb, who cares how advanced it *was*?
Warfare, then, has transformed from a contest of things like rates of fire, blast radius, and fatigue, to one regarding things like satellite uplinks, reaction times, and global positioning systems. This is the central point of Berkowitz's book: as things change, we need to be paying attention to what warfare has become, not what it was.
The author seems to think that some of this has been covered by the Pentagon, but some of it hasn't. Especially in the area of internet security, he believes the military needs to coordinate much better with the private sector to make sure that our systems aren't disrupted at exactly the wrong moment by our enemies. This is the one thing in the book he pretty clearly advocates.
The book is sprinkled with interesting and amusing anecdotes, connecting Robert Whitehead, the inventor of the modern torpedo, with the movie the Sound of Music, for instance, and explaining how Robert Ballard, the guy who found the Titanic, also worked looking for sunken subs with his robot submersibles. This makes the subject of the book rather more easy to digest than otherwise. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject, except perhaps someone already very knowledgeable on it.
Not worth the time and the money.......2005-07-05
After reading many books on future warfare, Fourth Generation Warfare, Information Warfare and so on (all of them were disappointing to say the least) and after trying my luck with Berkowitz's "The New Face of War" (which is half examples from the past and half simplistic theories about the future) I think it's time to cease looking for credible predictions of the war of the future, since every theory I have read is hopefully outdated the next year! Operations in Iraq proved some things about the value of achieving information dominance but the insurgency that followed proved also that the nature of war has not changed and that high tech information networks are scrap against a determined and cunning enemy. Even a conventional war against a first rate power (like China) is not clear how will be decided nor is the role of information warfare clear. Experience has shown that predictions in these fields are bound to be proved wrong in almost every case because there is the human factor, political considerations and pure luck which overturn everything along the way. Thus, I would not recommend this book to any serious student of war. It's far better to spend time studying military history which contains a wealth of informative examples and simply guess about the future.
The Two Faces Of The Book .......2005-02-11
At the risk of being repetitive, I too will comment on the fact that the title of the book and the dust jacket description seem to be two to three steps removed from the actual writings of the author. Now it could be that I had an unfair expectation, but I expected the book to focus more on how the military uses the new technology available to it to fight wars. I was looking for detailed explanations about how a military unit goes into to battle and fights. With this said the book offered more of a last 50 years review of how technology has changed the way we plan for war, build and buy weapons systems, and overall espionage. An interested topic, but not one that was advertised.
I do not read a vast number of these types of books so the rather high level review of many of the topics was enough for me. I can see how if you are well read on the topic and / or work in the fields discussed, this book could come across as light weight, but for a novice it was an interesting review of the topic. The author has a nice light and easy writing style that keeps the reader interested during some entertainingly dangerous technical discussions. I also really liked the side stories the author peppered through the book about topics as diverse as how this computer was designed or how this bit of espionage trick was created. I also picked up on a sense of humor that could be described as being influenced by Star Trek conventions and Dilbert books. Overall I enjoyed the book. I was disappointed at the misrepresentation of the title and could have done with some more detail, but overall it was an interesting easy book to read.
A useful introduction to Information Warfare..........2005-01-12
Not as good a read as "Best Truth," but it's okay if you want to learn some background on Information Warfare. A more informative book on IW and one that is read by all working in this field is "Information Operations" by Leigh Armistead. It's more expensive, but worth it.
Book Description
In Kumaon in northern India, villagers set hundreds of forest fires in the early 1920s, protesting the colonial British state’s regulations to protect the environment. Yet by the 1990s, they had begun to conserve their forests carefully. In his innovative historical and political study, Arun Agrawal analyzes this striking transformation. He describes and explains the emergence of environmental identities and changes in state-locality relations and shows how the two are related. In so doing, he demonstrates that scholarship on common property, political ecology, and feminist environmentalism can be combined—in an approach he calls environmentality—to better understand changes in conservation efforts. Such an understanding is relevant far beyond Kumaon: local populations in more than fifty countries are engaged in similar efforts to protect their environmental resources.
Agrawal brings environment and development studies, new institutional economics, and Foucauldian theories of power and subjectivity to bear on his ethnographical and historical research. He visited nearly forty villages in Kumaon, where he assessed the state of village forests, interviewed hundreds of Kumaonis, and examined local records. Drawing on his extensive fieldwork and archival research, he shows how decentralization strategies change relations between states and localities, community decision makers and common residents, and individuals and the environment. In exploring these changes and their significance, Agrawal establishes that theories of environmental politics are enriched by attention to the interconnections between power, knowledge, institutions, and subjectivities.

Success in Grassroots Politics.......2006-03-22
This book reports a rare success story in Third World conservation: the rise of grassroots-level forest management in Kumaon, India. In the colonial period, the British tried to stop deforestation by increasingly authoritarian methods. This failed; the local countryfolk, prevented from using their forests for subsistence needs, protested more and more seriously, ultimately resorting to arson. Eventually the British got the message and eased off. Fortunately, the Indian government later built on this perception, and gave more and more management rights to the Kumaonese. They rose to the occasion, and now manage the forests reasonably well. Arun Agrawal uses a Foucauldian approach to analyze the development of local management in an extremely fine-grained, detailed, careful way. The benefit of this approach is that it has stimulated a uniquely thorough and fair ethnography. The cost of this approach is its narrow focus on government and "subjects"--there is no independent assessment of how well the forests are actually doing. One wishes for a biologist's input. Still, any success story, even relative, is welcome these days, and this book will be very useful to anyone interested in comanagement of resources or resource conservation in general. We simply have to involve local people and respect their needs, in every conservation project, and this book is notably good at detailing one way a governmental system actually did that.
How does environmentalism happen?.......2005-11-16
Arun Agrawal's book offers a fresh approach to consider how subjectivities change, particularly in terms of how environmentalism happens at an individual and social level. Agrawal borrows from a number of different fields, including anthropology and history, to pursue these questions. His approach differs from several dominant schools that address these issues. One group of scholars, when talking about rural citizens in developing countries, assume that their needs are primarily material and antagonistic to any sense of long-term environmental care. "Environmentalist sensibilities don't make any sense unless their bellies are full" they say. Another group of scholars argues that rural women, because they rely on natural resources for their familiy's daily needs, are actually quite environmentally minded.
Agrawal does not follow either of these approaches, and questions a number of their premises. To carry out his inquiry, Agrawal examines a region in India that was famous for its resistance to British forest protection during the colonial era. This area resisted British authority by lighting hundreds of deliberately set fires. Surprisingly, Agrawal now finds that a number of villages are forming their own community-based groups for forest protection, and he seeks to discover what accounts for these changes.
In his explanation, Agrawal draws on Foucauldian and other post-structural thought, but does so in novel ways. He is trying to examine the process of how subjects change over time, and even over the course of one lifetime. His writing is lively and his analysis is sharp. I highly recommend this book for those interested in social change, social theory, environmentalism, and new interdisciplinary approaches.
