Book Description

Based on extensive research in Polish and German archives this book documents the major developments within the labor movement in the Ruhr, including the mass strikes of 1889, 1905 and 1912 and the so-called 'Polish Revolt' of 1899. The author argues that Polish militancy generally exceeded that of native miners and calls into question the standard view of the Polish workers' relationship to the labor movement. This revisionist book begs a reconsideration of the role that foreign labor plays in modern industrial societies.

Book Description

Although the mystery novel has been popular with women readers since the 19th century, until the late 1970s, fictional women detectives typically were portrayed as stereotypic and passive, and often overlooked by critics. Over the last two decades, however, women mystery writers have begun creating a new type of hero: the modern female detective--an independent, intelligent, witty, and compassionate woman who can take care of herself. This volume analyzes the new female serial detectives and highlights their struggles with femininity and feminism in the everyday and the way they have profoundly altered the genre's standard plotting and characterization.

This strategy guide is quite good and covers almost everything in the game but is not as complete as previous guides for other Tak games.

The book is very helpful. The only down side is that the illustrations are extremely small and hard to view.

Book Description

Afghanistan, March 2002. In the early morning darkness on a frigid mountaintop, a U.S. soldier is stranded, alone, surrounded by fanatical al Qaeda fighters. For the man’s fellow Navy SEALs, and for waiting teams of Army Rangers, there was only one rule now: leave no one behind. In this gripping you-are-there account–based on stunning eyewitness testimony and painstaking research–journalist Malcolm MacPherson thrusts us into a drama of rescue, tragedy, and valor in a place that would be known as...

ROBERTS RIDGE

For an elite team of SEALs, the mission seemed straightforward enough: take control of a towering 10,240-foot mountain peak called Takur Ghar. Launched as part of Operation Anaconda–a hammer-and-anvil plan to smash Taliban al Qaeda in eastern Afghanistan –the taking of Takur Ghar would offer U.S. forces a key strategic observation post. But the enemy was waiting, hidden in a series of camouflaged trenches and bunkers–and when the Special Forces chopper flared on the peak to land, it was shredded by a hail of machine-gun, small arms, and RPG rounds. A red-haired SEAL named Neil Roberts was thrown from the aircraft. And by the time the shattered helicopter crash-landed on the valley floor seven miles away, Roberts’s fellow SEALs were determined to return to the mountain peak and bring him out–no matter what the cost.

Drawing on the words of the men who were there–SEALs, Rangers, medics, combat air controllers, and pilots–this harrowing true account, the first book of its kind to chronicle the battle for Takur Ghar, captures in dramatic detail a seventeen-hour pitched battle fought at the highest elevation Americans have ever waged war. At once an hour-by-hour, bullet-by-bullet chronicle of a landmark battle and a sobering look at the capabilities and limitations of America’s high-tech army, Roberts Ridge is the unforgettable story of a few dozen warriors who faced a single fate: to live or die for their comrades in the face of near-impossible odds.

Download Description

“A true story of courage that captures–over the course of seventeen hours–all the drama and sacrifice of war. IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN. Highly recommended.”--James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys

“At once a terrifying and compelling narrative, ROBERTS RIDGE strikes awe for its unflinching and honest portrayal of the courage, determination, and capability of American fighting men. This true tale resonates with vitally important lessons of success and failure on the field of battle.”—Eric Haney, author of Inside Delta Force

"In the tradition of Black Hawk Down, Malcolm MacPherson vividly brings to life this harrowing story of courage, pathos, and war at its grittiest. For military history buffs, or those interested in the front lines of the war on terror, Roberts Ridge is a must read."--Jay Winik, author of April 1865: The Month That Saved America

Good But Lacks Context.......2007-08-05

I read Not a Good Day to Die immediately prior to reading Roberts Ridge. I was curious about the comparison and thought the topic was worth reading both. I wasn't disappointed.

Roberts Ridge has one significant shortcoming as a piece of nonfiction and that really stands out against Not a Good Day to Die. The subject matter of Robert's Ridge takes place during a much larger operation named Operation Anaconda. Roberts Ridge can be read in isolation but the reader is left without an understanding of the larger context in which it took place. And that context is helpful in understanding how the events on Roberts Ridge came to be and who the actors where. Without that context, the book essentially becomes a kind of action book, focusing on only what happened at in that limited time, as opposed to a more useful piece of nonfiction.

The author seems to spend too much focus on the jocularity during combat. Some of that humanizes the characters but again, it felt like the author was aiming for the equivalent of an action movie. And remembering the success of Black Hawk Down, he may have been.

I also don't like the title. Neil Roberts died alone on that mountain, giving his life for his country in unfortunate circumstances. As far as I've read, the place retains its historic name and only the title of this book calls it Roberts Ridge. That seems to me to be a little cavalier.

If you have the time and interest to read both, read Not a Good Day to Die First. You'll understand more. But that book has its own flaws that Roberts Ridge helps offset so they are both worthwhile.

Great read despite the controversy.......2007-05-19

I have to say that prior to writing my own review, I read the reviews below and I am saddened that apparent family members of the fallen feel an injustice was perpetrated by this book. If that's true then that is very unfortunate. However, since I don't know anything about these issues personally, I can only comment on my experience with the book, and I loved it. While others clearly did not care for the author's writing style, I enjoyed it much more than many of the other military non-fiction writers I have read. I thought the author did a great job of bringing together the accounts of so many people and I also appreciated the insight into who the lives of the soldiers that was afforded by the chapters about their backgrounds. It gave a very personal ring to the story. I have not read Naylor's account yet, but it is next on my list. Overall I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Black Hawk Down or similar works. It's a very quick read with more action than most books in this genre can boast of.

Excellent Story.......2007-05-18

I knew only a little about this story before reading "Roberts Ridge." There are (of course) contradicting accounts about what "really happened" on Takur Ghar, but the story this book tells from that momentous fight was very compelling in my opinion. I read the book quickly and enjoyed it throughout. There are so many people involved in this battle it does get hard to keep it all straight in a few spots. Overall, I enjoyed the book and appreciated MacPherson's writing style.

Great read!!!.......2007-05-15

Once you pick it up...you won't put it down! Very accurate and uplifting story of true heroism.

Great Account of the Battle for Takur Ghar Mountain.......2007-04-22

Prior to Operation Anaconda, the less-than successful operation to trap and kill Al-Queda troops in the Sha-i-Kot Valley, a number of Special Operations Forces teams infiltrated the area in order to conduct reconnaissance prior to the operation and then direct close air support into the Valley to kill the terrorists. Mako 30, one of these teams, was sent to the most obvious observation point in the Valley - Takur Ghar mountain. Only problem was that the battle-hardened Al Queda terrorists, mostly Chechens, were quite aware of the military significance of Takur Ghar and made it their own before Mako 30 arrived. MacPherson makes a great argument for the pitfalls of relying on the best technology in the world - even our best "sniffers" never picked up on the terrorists on the peak. After attempting a landing and losing Neil Roberts, Mako 30 attempted to return to the same Landing Zone they had unsuccessfully tried to occupy the first time around. Mako 30's predictable defeat is followed by a Ranger Quick reaction Force that is also pinned down. Unbelievably, the Rangers landed in the exact place that Mako 30 did, losing their MH-47 in the process. A third reaction team lands, scales 2000ft on mountain, and the Rangers finally prevail over the enemy.
MacPherson has done a great job of capturing the details of the battle, but his account falls far short of "Not A Good Day To Die", a far more detailed and better-sourced account. Nonetheless, MacPherson's account captures the individual bravery and sacrifice of the U.S. soldiers on the mountain. A great compliment to "Not A Good Day To Die". A must read for any small unit commander and anyone interested in Al Queda tactics.
