For Hockey Lovers Everywhere..........2001-03-27

I just finished reading Hockeytown Hero: The Steve Yzerman Story. Finally, a biography written for kids about our Detroit Red Wings Captain! Author Shelley Lazarus includes interviews with Yzerman, his teammates, and other hockey legends, including Scotty Bowman and Bryan Trottier.

I thought the book was well written; a great story told artfully. Trust me when I say grown ups will enjoy it as much as the kids! While the book focuses on Yzerman's hockey career -- from the time he first skated at age three, through two Stanley Cup championships -- I really enjoyed the personal glimpses and photographs included as well. Yzerman's parents even provide team pictures of his early years as a "Moose Pup All-Star" (age 8.)

I already bought copies for my neices & nephews, and saved one for myself, too! You've got to read this book.

Book Description

Leni Riefenstahl, aged 100 in 2002, achieved fame as a dancer, actress, photographer, and director, but her entire career is colored by her association with the Nazi party. This overt tension between the political meaning of her work for National Socialism and its essential aesthetic quality forms the basis of this compelling account. Appointed by Hitler, Leni Riefensthal directed the Nazi propaganda film Triumph des Willens along with her best-known work Olympia, a documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. By 1939 Riefenstahl was arguably the most famous woman film director in the world, yet after World War II, she was never again accepted as a filmmaker.

leni's refusal to admit guilt was off-putting.......2005-04-12

im not sure what the other reviewer is talking about. i thought this to be the most even-handed assessment of riefenstahl that i've yet read. not only that, but rother addresses most other commentaries on reifenstahl, so that this work can work also as a sort of bibliography for those who wish to read further. rother pretty much says that riefenstahl got a raw deal compared to other propaganda directors (mr. jud suess), but that she still deserved much of what she got. essentially (and, no, i don't view this as a "plot-spoiler"), says rother, riefenstahl was apolitical but still guilty (or, perhaps, guilty because she was too apolitical, that is, ambivilant enough to let the nazis use her (and i use the word "use" here loosely)). of course, rother goes much deeper into this, even broaching (but not always delving into) such topics as: is objectivity possible in documentary?, was leni an auteur, and thus not responsible for her artistic portrayals of nazis?
please understand that i'm rating this a 4, as in, this is four stars for books of this type, as opposed to, this is 4 stars in general for all categories. also, im trying to cancel out the other reviewer who must be some kind of uber leni fan.

Two Sides to Every Coin.......2002-12-11

The author, in spite of all his Leni-bashing, must be something of an admirer of the great filmmaker or he wouldn't have so passionately researched her life and career. Riefenstahl and her work have always, since WW2, generated a love/hate response from her audiences and this author makes his case for the latter. While there is nothing particularly enlightening about his findings or opinions, it is always interesting to read more about the fascinating century Ms. Riefenstahl has witness and affected with her art and strong personality.

Book Description

This is the first book to consider all aspects of the life of Agostino Steffani (1654-1728), a composer, diplomat, and bishop. A remarkable figure of the late 17th and early 18th century Europe, Steffani began his career as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and the Catholic Church. Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiatical career, Steffani continued to compose chamber music, vocal chamber music, operas, and sacred music--works which inspired Handel and other Baroque composers.

Book Description

Jeremy McGrath has been called 'the Michael Jordan of Supercross' by the Los Angeles Times, and in this revealing autobiography fans not only get his personal story, but also a detailed guide on how everyone can become a Supercross racer.

The No 1 Supercross racer in the world – who has over 20 sponsors, his own film company, a toy line, Nintendo and Playstation games, and a signature shoe by Vans – talks about his life and the sport. Supercross started out as a redneck '70s sideshow, but thanks largely to Jeremy McGrath it has become a massive extreme sport. Over the last three years, AMA Supercross attendance has mushroomed from 700,000 spectators a year to 1.5 million. This book will satisfy even the most hardcore fans, as it not only gives you the life and times of Jeremy McGrath, but acts as the calling card to the entire sport by including unique sections on how to become a Supercross racer, the workout regimes, fixing common bike problems, and more.

Wide Open: A Life in Supercross
Jeremy McGrath
HarperCollins
© 2004
Pages 320

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a professional motocross rider, or what it feels like? This book is an autobiography about Jeremy McGrath's life. It starts off when he is young and is first racing BMX bikes. He races in the local races in California, but these become too easy. As he gets older he gets better at racing and moves on to riding motocross. As the book goes on it goes through his adult life as a motocross racer.
My favorite part of this book was when he was telling about the parties that he would have at his lake house. The house would be crammed full of people and outside would be more people. He wouldn't even know half the people because they would just show up on their boats and get off at his house. His parties sounded like a lot of fun. The theme of this book was to not give up. McGrath had many struggles, which made it hard for him to go pro. Such as people telling him that he wasn't good enough, and not being able to get sponsors. But he never gave up and he was very successful.
I think that this book was really good. It had a lot of interesting stuff about the industry. Even though it was an autobiography and I thought that it would be boring, I really liked this book.

Good Memoir.......2006-03-23

Jeremy McGrath has been my favorite rider for a long time, and I was pretty excited to find out that he had put out an autobiography.

I thought the narration and sequencing of the book were solid. They covered all the major events of Jeremy's life and career. It is a very simple book, seemingly targeted for a young audience.

I had issues with the placement of some of the pictures, as well as a couple of typos. For example, a picture of McGrath with the caption identifying it from 2001, while the chapter the picture is located in talks about the 1999 season. Seems like the could have made room for that picture somewhere in the chapter that talks about 2001.

One picture was identified as Jeremy after winning the 1993 championship, when it was actually a picture from the 1998 championship, which was described on that page.

I really enjoyed the writing style and the pace of the book. I read it cover to cover in about 4 hours. I didn't really find any of it boring. The way the book is written makes it feel very down to earth and easy to relate to.

The book seems to be geared towards a younger audience, which is why I found it curious that there were a few swear words included. Not alot, maybe 4-5 in the entire book, but when I read those parts, the wording seemed very unnecessary.

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't find McGrath to be bitter or morally bankrupt. He worked hard for what he has achieved.

Seeing as how the book came out at the beginning of 2004, only shortly after his retirement from competition, it would have been rather difficult to include things that he has done since retiring.

One thing I know he did after retirement was to write a book... and it was a pretty good read. At least for somebody who has followed Jeremy relatively closely for his entire career...

wide open.......2005-12-10

Jermey Mcgrath grew up in southern Califorina. When he was 4 years old he started racing bicycles. He was very good and competitive. he moved up to 80 cc mini bikes when he was 8. He made his way up to the 125 cc. For a while he didn't have a factory ride, which is when you have a dirt bike company supporting you. Then, Kawasake signed him. Win he moved up to the 250 class, he went to Honda. He won 4 titles with Honda. Then, he went to Suzuki for a year and did really bad with them. He went to Yamaha and got 2 titles with them. He created a team called Team McGrath/Mazda/Yamaha when he was 30 years old.

It was a very interesting book. I could never guess what was going to happen next. I would have never guessed that he won as many titles as he did. I didn't know if he was going to get the win or not ot get the lead by the first turn. The races thatthey had in the book were exciting. Thje races were exciting because he won most of them. They were close, and i didn't know who would win untill the end of the race.

It was boring at times, like when he talked about his parents. It was also boring at the end because there was no activity. It would of been better if there would have been more ezcitment like races at the end of the book.

Over all , it was a pretty good book despite of all of the boring partsand the injuries. I learned several things that I didn't know about Jermey McGrath and about supercross and motocross. A lot of them were interesting to me.

Some observers see the global political landscape as a complex amalgam of divergent worldviews, shades of gray that usually move in harmony but sometimes collide with violent results. David Frum and Richard Perle, authors of An End to Evil think it's a great deal simpler than that: the United States is good, those who pose a threat, current or future, are evil and must be neutralized or destroyed. Frum, the former speechwriter for George W. Bush credited with coining the term "axis of evil," and Perle, a former assistant Secretary of Defense who was still serving on the Defense Policy Board at the time this book was published, advocate an aggressive, activist approach to stomping out terrorism both within America's borders and in other countries as well. Their plan, described with forceful and urgent language, calls for the United States to overthrow the government of Iran, abandon support of a Palestinian state, blockade North Korea, use strong-arm tactics with Syria and China, disregard much of Europe as allies, and sever ties with Saudi Arabia. Domestically, the authors say, several federal agencies need to be overhauled, a national ID card system needs to be put in place, and the government and its citizens need to realize the gravity of the terrorist threat and step up the effort, as the title indicates, to end evil. Frum and Perle place blame for American ineffectiveness in the fight against terrorism on some political targets one would expect (Congressional Democrats, Bill Clinton) but also point fingers at the present-day intelligence community and even the State Department. It's a broad-ranging political opinion book--one might even use the words "screed" or "manifesto." Perhaps because it tries to cover so much ground, the individually compelling arguments don't hold together as coherently as one might hope. Still, for those who believe that the threat of terrorism is immense and that not nearly enough is being done about it, Frum and Perle offer a stirring call to arms. --Charlie Williams

Book Description

An End to Evil charts the agenda for what’s next in the war on terrorism, as articulated by David Frum, former presidential speechwriter and bestselling author of The Right Man, and Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense and one of the most influential foreign-policy leaders in Washington.

This world is an unsafe place for Americans—and the U.S. government remains unready to defend its people. In An End to Evil, David Frum and Richard Perle sound the alert about the dangers around us: the continuing threat from terrorism, the crisis with North Korea, the aggressive ambitions of China. Frum and Perle provide a detailed, candid account of America’s vulnerabilities: a military whose leaders resist change, intelligence agencies mired in bureaucracy, diplomats who put friendly relations with their foreign colleagues ahead of the nation’s interests. Perle and Frum lay out a bold program to defend America—and to win the war on terror.

Among the topics this book addresses:

• why the United States risks its security if it submits to the authority of the United Nations
• why France and Saudi Arabia have to be treated as adversaries, not allies, in the war on terror
• why the United States must take decisive action against Iran—now
• what to do in North Korea if negotiations fail
• why everything you read in the newspapers about the Israeli-Arab dispute is wrong
• how our government must be changed if we are to fight the war on terror to victory—not just stalemate
• where the next great terror threat is coming from—and what we can do to protect ourselves

An End to Evil will define the conservative point of view on foreign policy for a new generation—and shape the agenda for the 2004 presidential-election year and beyond. With a keen insiders’ perspective on how our leaders are confronting—or not confronting—the war on terrorism, David Frum and Richard Perle make a convincing argument for why the toughest line is the safest line.

From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews:

Zionist Fiction.......2007-09-10

Ah, another one of the Podhoretz, Wolfowitz, Feith, Wurmser, Krauthammer, Kristol, Perle clan. The group that asked for a "new Pearl Harbor" for the US so the American people could bomb Iraq prior to 911. These Zionists terrorists wanted to bomb Iraq before the petrodollar and before 911 (which had nothing to do with Iraq). If you enjoy fiction and horror, this is your book.

Just nuts.......2007-07-13

I was going to write a long review, but it boils down to this: David Frum and Richard Perle are nuts. Just nuts. It's as simple as that.

Another Nail in the Coffin of Neoconservatism.......2007-05-29

I have respect for Richard Perle as a foreign policy intellectual so I was quite surprised to see him co-author such an intellectually devoid work as this. Many of the claims made in this book are highly suspect--I wanted to check the sources, but they are rarely listed.
The idea that we could lower terrorism by ending support for the Palestinian state is the most ludicrous claim made in this book. The lack of a Palestinian state is the single greatest cause of Islamic terrorism. Likewise, using force to overthrow Iran's (democratic!) state would only increase global terrorism.
The authors get one thing right: a tougher line is needed on Saudi Arabia. This "ally" in the War on Terror is a monarchy with stronger links to Al Qaeda than any currently existing state. 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Women are not allowed to drive or vote. Our support for Saudi Arabia is the most farcical aspect of the War on Terror and Perle and Frum are right to point it out.

This book will prove to be another nail in the coffin of neoconservatism. Domestically, neocon policies bankrupt governments and increase inequality. Internationally, they increase terrorism while increasing the wealth of a scant few international investors.

Proof that NeoCons are Communists.......2006-12-03

This book alone provides absolute proof that the whole "NeoCon" movement is nothing but a front for Communism. Their goal is an Orwellian 1984 dictatorship for America under the cloak of "Oh this protects you from terror". National I.D. cards? Why not just stamp a bar code on our heads at birth, Frumsky? What's "Conservative" about anything from this warped vision for our future?

The bottomline is that Perle and Frum are nothing but dressup Republicans whose true identities remain completely Trotskyite like so many of the other NeoCons from this disgusting "New Wave Republicanism"

And since when did Israel become the 51st State? I find it hard to believe that Middle Americans want their sons to die in Lebanon or Syria for the benefit of Israeli Imperialism.

An End To Frum & Perle: How To Destroy Your Own Neoconservative Movement.......2006-11-29

David Frum and Richard Perle actually wrote a book that urges the United States to eliminate all of Israel's enemies (Syria, Iran) and abandon support for a Palestinian State. The book reads like a hysterical satire of neoconservatism, their aggressive and fantastical war ideas so absurd and blatantly in the service of Israel that I quite literally convulsed with laughter.

What is most amazing is that two educated people were foolish enough to write such a book while America is currently bogged down in a deadly Vietnamesque war of neoconservative making. You would think these guys would have the good sense to quietly limp off the playing field of ideas and retreat to their air-conditioned offices at the American Enterprise Institute where they could reinvent themselves as experts on healthcare or education and gracefully detach from the failed Israel First movement.

But no, they instead choose to show up on Hardball or the op-ed pages of the The Weekly Standard, stubbornly and improbably pushing for an invasion of Iran and Syria. Two solipsistic eggheads who never served in the military, so determined to protect Israel that they're willing to sacrafice American lives, American values and American money. These Zionists are nothing more than sick and soulless traitors. Nefarious, demonic vampires who lack judgement, wisdom and empathy. What baffles is their pig-headed audacity: thinking they can crank out an Israel First book like this and actually convince the American people that we should attack Iran and Syria (two countries that do not in any way threaten the United States).

The irony in all of this is that Jews around the world want to keep Israel strong and safe partially because if (God forbid) another Holocaust happens there will be safe haven for them. However, nothing creates stronger Anti-Semitic feelings than Americans feeling like Jews are manipulating the levers of American power in the service of Israel. You would think that Frum and Perle know this themselves but their astonishingly ridiculous book proves otherwise.

Oh, well, Neoconservatism is dead. This book provides some laughs before the celebratory funeral. Frum, Perle, Kristol, Abrams, Rhode, Feith and Wolfowtiz -- their place in history is final. They will go down in the Grand Hall of Historical Shame as the Zionists within America who pushed the United States into a pre-emptive war for Israel's benefit. Eggheads without wisdom. Idealogues without judgement. Warmongers without restraint.

And when they're dead and condemned to their own little sinister cells of Hell we can all applaud and breath easy and thank God for one beautiful thing: America without neoconservatives.
