Book Description

Andre Gorz argues that changes in the role of the work and labour process in the closing decades of the twenthieth century have, once and for all, weakened the power of skilled industrial workers. Their place has been taken, says Gorz, by social movements such as the women's movement and the green movement, and all those who refuse to accept the work ethic so fundamental to early capitalist societies. Provocative and heretical, Farewell To the Working Class is a classic study of labour and unemployment in the post-industrial world.

EVERY YANKEE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.......2002-02-19

Was given If The South Rises Again It'll Be Over My Dead Body as a gift. Didn't know what to expect. It's hysterically funny and a must read for every Yankee and Southerner with a funny bone. This send up of the South, its people and habits will keep any reader laughing.

Loved it and have sent it as a present to all my friends.

A FUNNY, SATIRICAL BOOK........2002-02-08

THIS BOOK IS HYSTERICAL. BIG LAUGHS. IT TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SOUTH, AND SOUTHERNERS, FROM A YANKEE POINT OF VIEW. IT'S DONE TONGUE IN CHEEK BUT ALL OF THE INCIDENTS AND EXAMPLES OF SOUTHERN BEHAVIOR ARE TRUE.

THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING ABOVE THE MASON DIXON LINE. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT VISITING OR DRIVING THROUGH THE SOUTH WITHOUT READING THE BOOK.

MAKES A GREAT GIFT.

Book Description

There is no other contemporary artist who is so famously difficult, so seemingly enigmatic, and so passionately loved by his fans as Morrissey. From the moment he caught the public's eye in the early 1980s as the iconic front man of the Smiths, and through his subsequent solo career, the patron saint of misfits has fascinated and baffled in equal measure.

Yet, as Mark Simpson argues in this wickedly funny and deeply sacrilegious "psycho-bio" -- told through the lens of his own obsession as a lifelong fan -- Morrissey isn't quite so enigmatic as he might appear. To understand this most private (and sexually ambivalent) of stars, one need only uncover the countless clues to his personality in his startlingly candid song lyrics and his innumerable provocative interviews.

Simpson deftly explores why Morrissey bewitched a generation -- and why he remains as intriguing as ever. Both an insightful look at the singer's career and a personal story of a boy's first love for his music idol, Saint Morrissey is, like its subject, shrewd, sharp-witted, charming, and utterly original.

My review.......2007-08-09

This book is a lot of fun. I read it while sitting infront of my computer to access youtube.com, dictionary.com, and wikipedia.com to learn about all the references. What can I say I was a business major. It made me laugh frequently. I especially loved the description of Morrissey's androgenous appearance as:"looking like a lesbian attempting a half-hearted gesture at femininity for her visiting parents". The author of course loves Morrissey as do I and it was nice to celebrate this great artist with someone.

Still Ill.......2006-08-17

I've finally finished reading Saint Morrissey after picking it up and putting it down for months and wincing in pain.
Written in some painfull form of Brittish splashy rag Daily Mirror type styling, the book offers no further insight into Morrissey's world as the Mirror might, without even bothering to make anything interesting up!
Using cookie-cut lines from Morrissey's few and formidably vague interviews throughout, Mark Simpson takes thimble sized dives into Morrissey's secret world.
What Simpson is very very good at is stylishly spewing tidbits of Morrissey's prose into Simpson's own context, which only adds to the feeling that one's reading the back of a box of something mediocre, desperately trying to sound tasty.
Simpson spends no less than three chapters lost in wonder about what Stephen Morrissey did in his bedroom for eighteen years. As much as I'd liked to have been there myself, I felt a nagging fear that Simpson was going to follow him to the loo.
Had this been a gorgeous picture book with Mark's borrowed interviews strewn about this book might have stayed in my collection.

Easy, breezy, pleased me........2006-05-11

Through the first twenty or so pages, Simpson's apparent attempt to appropriate and emulate Morrissey's wit/sense of humor sort of turned me off. But while I would've enjoyed a slightly less precious delivery, Simpson does turn out to have a reasonable amount of original observations on Morrissey's career.

Promoted as a "psychobio," Saint Morrissey is more about the man than the music - you may be surprised how little Simpson has to say about the actual albums through 250 pages (though this may be down to the fact that Morrissey offers much more opportunity for intellectual tangents than the average artist). You might call it a Unified Theory of Morrisseyism: it's less about "he did this, then he recorded this, then this happened" (which is what a lot of otherwise fine bios, like Complicated Shadows, devolve into) than it is about what it all means. It's an emotional response instead of a historical exercise, and that really appealed to me. It's also less...invasive, I guess?...than, say, Heavier Than Heaven, which took disgusting license in trying to get into its subject's head. Saint Morrissey isn't about exposing its subject's secrets, because Simpson understands Morrissey's career well enough to realize that his secrets are a massive element of his appeal. That understanding and respect is the key appeal here. Of course, it's written by a fan, and an alarming one at that, so Saint Morrissey is never critical in any serious sense, but it never panders the way Landscapes of the Mind does, either.

In the end, it's a quick, cute read designed for those who already know all the significant dates and chart placements and catalogue numbers. Why don't you find out for yourself?

A Morrissey book that made me want to be sociable!.......2006-02-07

Simpson takes as his source material only that which Morrissey has written in his lyrics or spoken in interview, and thus claims no special privilege to know him, any more than any other fan knows him - (i.e. intimately). As such, it may or may not bear any relationship to the truth as Morrissey himself sees it, for Simpson acknowledges the self-defeating nature of trying to interpret those enigmatic lyrics. But that's irrelevant. I have never read a book before like this: every page or two, I wanted to stop and talk about what Simpson had written with someone else - I wanted to discuss, argue, complain, gasp, share the experience. Mostly, I wanted to laugh. Considering that this is a book about a man whose isolation, morbidity and alienation is legendary, this book made me want to be sociable.

3 and 1/2 stars.........2006-01-06

i've read over 10 books in the smiths/morrissey vein and this one's good. the author's also a fan. very insightful.

Book Description

The "Blank Fiction" of young American writers such as Dennis Cooper, Lynne Tillman, Bret Easton Ellis and Susanna Moore represents a shift away from the postwar obsession with dense plots, political subject matter and academic philosophizing. These writers appear to value superficiality over complexity, mass culture over high culture and youth over experience. In the first scholarly critique of blank fiction, James Annesley assesses a wide range of recent American writing and identifies their principal unifying characteristics. Challenging conventional postmodernist approaches, Annesley reveals the dynamic of blank writing to be tied to the dominant economic forces of contemporary capitalism. This contextual analysis concentrates on the relationship between blank fiction and consumerism and positions the writing within currents of contemporary American culture. This is a welcome and much-needed introduction to a new direction in contemporary literature.

Voices of Modern Designer Nihilism.......1999-11-10

Jean-Francois Lyotard is often quoted as saying that postmodernism is "the incredulity toward metanarrative." Gone are the "fictions" worshipped in the past. Everything is a product of time and chance. The horizon of meaning has been wiped away. Metanarratives are reduced to personal plots. Hence the rise of "blank fiction"-the voices of modern designer nihilism, exercises in hedonism and rage. James Annesley provides a serious examination of this zeitgeist literary genre and its authors, such as Brett Easton Ellis (Less Than Zero), Brian D'Amato (Beauty), Dennis Cooper (Frisk), Susanna Moore (In The Cut), and Lynne Tillman (Absence Makes the Heart).

Building on Pierre Bourdieu's work on forms of capital, Annesley suggest that the unifying dynamic in blank fiction is its exploration of commodification-commodity as both an economic and social signifier. He writes, "In an age of infomercials, product-placement and ambient advertising, writers who are tuned into the dynamics of commodification must inevitably be able to provide important insights into the contemporary scene."

As such, blank fiction provides a grim reminder of the cultural consequence when "desire is sovereign and purchasing power the ultimate arbiter." Depicted is a twisted world where violence is equated with power, cosmetic surgery a form of advertising; where sex merges the visual with the commercial; where brand labels become identity; and drug dealing is seen as a celebration of entrepreneurialism. Here the commodity form becomes the force field of all social relationships. Nietzsche's prophetic vision is unmasked-our cultural "spiritual decay lovingly dissected." The pervasive logic of the commodity form may prove Lyotard wrong: the market may become the only credible metanarrative. If so, then the world of blank fiction may be no stranger than life.

Book Description

In this New York Times bestseller, award-winning combat reporter Sean Naylor reveals how close American forces came to disaster in Afghanistan against Al Qaida-after easily defeating the ragtag Taliban that had sheltered the terrorist organization behind the 9/11 attacks.

At dawn on March 2, 2002, over 200 soldiers of the 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain Divisions flew into the mouth of a buzz saw in the Shahikot Valley. Believing the war all but over, U.S. military leaders refused to commit the troops and materiel required to fight the war's biggest battle-a missed opportunity to crush hundreds of Al Qaida's fighters and some of its most senior leaders. Eyewitness Naylor vividly portrays the heroism of the young, untested soldiers unprepared for the ferocious enemy they fought; the mistakes that led to a hellish mountaintop firefight; and how thirteen American commandos embodied "Patton's three principles of war"-audacity, audacity and audacity-by creeping unseen over frozen mountains into the heart of an enemy stronghold to prevent a U.S. military catastrophe.

Not A Good Book to compare to Black Hawk Down.......2007-10-11

The story somewhat picks up like the beginning of Carlito's Way. Al Pacino is dying at the beginning and you go back to what got him there. In the book, it starts off with the soldiers ready to run out of a helicopter and start hunting. Then it takes you back to the planning, training, and finally the landings. My biggest frustration with this book was the excessive number of people Mr Naylor has to revolve the mission around. There are just waaaay to many names and nicknames to try to keep up with. What makes Black Hawk Down better by quite a few klicks, is that it revolved around fewer characters, even though a lot were also involved. Mr Bowden did an outstanding job of getting to the heart of the story and did not sacrifice narative nor characterzation. Mr Naylor has about 5 to 10 people in each mini-chapter and keeps shifting from group to group. As I wrote earlier, it was quite frustrating trying to keep up with so many of the people involved. It just bogged down the flow. Also, he seems to have too many quotes from people he might have interviewed in what seemed out of context. He would be in a paragraph writing about something, and bam, a quote that didn't fit in. But I'm sure someone said it to him. Also, unlike Eric Haney, author of Inside Delta Force, he seems to blame this guy or that organization for messing this up or not catching the signs of this or that. In Mr Haney's book he continually praises the individuals he worked with: CIA, FBI, SeALs, US Marshalls, ATF, Secret Service, etc. Not a bad account of the operation, but too many characters to try to keep focued.

Well researched, good book........2007-10-03

Hard to follow all of the characters, and the author or his sources have an obvious bias against the Navy SEAL teams, but very interesting and educational read.

Very Good But Flawed.......2007-08-05

Many people have reviewed this book on this site so I'll just focus on a few key points. First, as many have commented, this book delves into the force structure details to a great extent. However, these details set the context for the problems the operation later encountered. I also read Robert's Ridge right after this book and it clearly lacks that context that would elevate it from the equivalent of an action movie.

The book appears to be thorough and meticulously researched. It covers the subject well.

The biggest flaw, in my view, is that the author felt entitled to engage in judgment throughout the book. He particularly makes sweeping, one-sided judgments about the people involved, their competence and their motivations, and sometimes seems to slant his reporting to support his judgments. Much, if not most of the time, there is little or no support provided for these judgments, good or bad.

He is overly harsh with respect to the SEALs. Some of them made mistakes no doubt but the reader can decide that for him or herself based upon a fair presentation of the facts. For example, he clearly leads the reader to judge the actions of a SEAL nicknamed Slab. Robert's Ridge offers details about Slab's decisions that may not completely counter balance the negative judgments but certainly provide a more complete picture of his decisions.

I found one particularly galling example to be the case of John Chapman, the combat controller who died when he went back with the SEAL team to rescue Neil Roberts. The author suggests that he was still alive when the SEAL team abandoned the ridge, thereby leaving him to fend for himself against overwhelming numbers. The author mentions that an official investigation concluded Chapman probably died before the SEAL team left him but he seems to steer the reader to the conclusion that the investigation must have been a white wash.

In fact, it wasn't until I read Roberts Ridge, and the accompanying notes, that I found out there was credible evidence suggesting that Chapman probably died immediately from his wounds and, if correct, could not have occupied a bunker to fight on. Of course, there is evidence to the contrary and unfortunately we'll never know. That's where the readers should be left - to form their own conclusions.

My other minor quibbles are that more and better maps collected in one section are needed, more pictures of the individuals would be useful and a timeline would help readers keep track of the many details. Curiously, despite the author's focus on details before the operation began, he provides little in the way of information about the aftermath.

It's really a shame the author approached this topic the way he did because the topic is fascinating and it's important. There are many lessons to be learned and not only for those planning combat. Still, it's a good book overall and worth reading.

Great companion to "Roberts Ridge".......2007-07-11

There's not much I can say that hasn't been spelled out in the 80+ reviews before mine, but I'll add my 2 cents nonetheless. Naylor's account, as many have indicated, IS a pretty heavy on minute details, but that's not a bad thing in and of itself. The problem I had was following the incredible number of names and ranks that were spit out that were NOT on the battlefield. It's not all that difficult to follow the major players in the story, but some of the background people are really hard to track. I also need to echo the reviews that point out that Naylor was seemingly overly harsh on the SEALs involved. While this isn't so apparent in the beginning, and he does have some kind things to say about a few SEAL operators, once the story progresses to the Takur Ghar section he seems to have a real axe to grind with the Navy and I think his Army loyalty is exposed. Many of the "mistakes" or decisions the SEALs made were no different from ones the Army made earlier in the operation, (Blue on Blue bombing killing U.S. troops, anyone?) but Naylor treats every mis-step in this part of the story as if the mistakes were unique to the Navy. It gets pretty old after a while. Those gripes aside, this was still an excellent read and especially worthwhile if you have read or intend to read "Roberts Ridge". Naylor's book should probably be read first, just because it gives a lot more background for why "Slab's" superiors were so insistent he and his team go when and where they did. Overall highly recommended.

Good, Yet Too Detailed Read For Most Readers.......2007-06-24

I really liked this book for the exact reasons that many others didn't -- the detail. As someone who served in Afghanistan on two occassions, I am less interested in the 'blood and guts' battle scenes and more in the behind-the-scenes stories that go into intelligence and planning. Granted, the story at times gets bogged down in seemingly insignificant details, but I felt the overall pacing was good. The backgrounds and personalities of the individuals portrayed gave a good sense of the men who were fighting, planning, and organizing Operation Anaconda. From what I understand, many people at SOCOM hated this book because of the details provided which means Naylor hit a homerun in getting his facts straight.

Definately not a book for all tastes, but if you like books that focus on the minutia, then this one is for you. For good combat action, read 'Blackhawk Down' or 'Ambush Alley'.

Customer Reviews:

Very good intro.......2005-03-16

This is really everything you need to know about modern NA history in one brief book. Very readable, brief but with enough detail to make the story a good one. Hits all of the highlights such as Allotment, Indian New Deal, Termination and how Indian affairs have changed since Nixon. It is not a romantic look at the plight of the Indians--its a realistic, accurate assessment of Indian problems since WWII, and what Indians are doing today to try to help themselves while still keeping sovereignty, dignity and thier past.
Its kind of a mini-text book.

An Excellent Primer on Indian Policy.......2002-08-10

I happened upon this book by pure coincidence but have since come to rely upon it as an essential reference source on the history of federal and state policy towards dealing with tribes, tribal governments and tribal members. A really well written and interesting read, not too academic or technical, and does justice to the experience of Native Americans while maintaining a remarkable objectivity uncommon to most histories on this topic. Very useful to put contemporary Indian policy issues into a larger historical context, in my case, in representing state government interactions with Arizona tribes. A good read for interested non-government amateurs as well.
