TWICE AS NICE!.......2004-01-03

Not only is this a book a great read but, a great reference guide too! You can use this book in more than one way. You can read it just for the fun of it & laugh at the reality of man. Or it can be used as a sort of encyclopedia of information on bachelorhood. For men, it is like a safe haven of permission to be who they really are. For women, it will (at the very least) help them understand that men are men & that is what they tend to do best. This is my second time having read the book, which is why I am writing this. I read it a while ago but have been reflecting on it ever since, so I figured I had to read it again. With the easy guide-like format I can just pick it up anytime, find where I want to be, hand it to a guest for something to flip through as I make some coffee, even grab it for an emergency guide of info along the journey of the bachelor life. Buy it, read it then, buy another one for a gift. No, don't give your only copy away! You need it for your coffee table or, better yet, for sittin' on the Throne! This is the thing to hand down from father to son for generations to come.

This book describes me so perfectly it's scary.......2003-08-01

I am the ultimate bachelor, I can relate to so much stuff in this book it isn't funny. The book however is very funny. This guy Ward Anderson is something else. I'm assuming he has either spent way too much time with the ultimate bachelor or he just doesn't get out much. Anyway this is a quick fun read perfect for a vacation or just for fun. Buy this book you won't be disappointed

Hysterical!.......2003-07-31

Anderson's so right it's scary... and hilarious! As a woman, if you know any single men, or are a single man yourself, this book will absolutely kill you. From typical bachelor pad decorations (i.e. lawn furniture indoors) to a guide on getting through a chick flick, this book will have something to remind you of every single man you know. It's a great present for a friend or even for yourself. It had me dying!

I've learned so much :).......2003-07-25

One can learn so much from The Ultimate Bachelors Guide. It is a well organized, well written, comical book for anyone. As I turned the pages, I couldn't keep myself from smiling and laughing. It was quite amusing how I discovered characteristics of my male friends lying right in the text of the book. After reading it, I felt it was a perfect gift for my older brother who recently turned 21. This book really got me interested in comedy, and I attended a comedy club for the first time, and LOVED it, just as I loved the book. I recommend the book for both men and woman of all ages.

Book Description

The first volume of the long awaited 2 volume photo study of the Battle of Kursk which promises something for everyone, whether serious historian, WW II enthusiast or hobbyist. This first volume covers the Southern sector of the attack culminating in the tank battle at Prokhorovka. The SS Panzer Korps, with the 1., 2. and 3.SS Panzer-Grenadier-Divisions, the Grossdeutchland Pazergrenadier Division and the 503 Heavy Tank Battalion all fought in this sector. The book includes hundreds of photos, most previously unpublished or miscaptioned in the past by less careful authors, which tell the story of this crucial German gamble in the summer of 1943. The color profiles included are to the Author's usual very high standards and the included maps succinctly describe the unit positions of both sides during various phases of the onslaught. Not just a photo album, the book includes a discussion of the operational concepts that led to the fighting, force comparisons and a! description of the objectives of the opposing forces. A detailed day-by-day description of the actions of all German units involved in the attack in this sector is also included. Finally, the authors lay to rest several misconceptions and legends surrounding this epic battle and provide irrefutable evidence that German losses were not nearly so great as Soviet and other sources have long claimed. Includes 702 photos, 48 pages of color vehicle, equipment and aircraft illustrations, 4 color maps and 3 pages of color tactical insignia.

Amazing pictures!.......2006-10-23

At just over $60, this book provides some brilliant photos of the battle. Do not hesitate, buy this book. I will be buying volume 2 when it is released.

Wonderful Picture Book.......2006-08-03

A very interesting Picture book with never seen photos of best quality before. Ideal for modellers.

Operation Citadel.......2006-03-02

If you are a fan of these Fedorowicz photo albums then this is another one that will be of interest.This volume concentrates on the conflict in the Southern sector of the Kursk/Orel area.
The book has the usual JJF mix of crisp clear photos as well as 'in action' pictures that while of lesser quality,are of no lesser interest.The 700 photos in the book are mainly of the German forces involved,although the Russian side is represented as well. Understandably the Armored units predominate,but there are also many images of the crews and Infantry that took part in the battle.
Add to this over 90 vehicles are represented in color plates as well as a concise overview of the day to day operations.An added touch is the individual recollections of some of the combatants involved.
All in all a first rate book.

Indispensable; brings Citadel to life.......2005-06-10

This is an outstanding book. The authors have developed an excellent account of the southern half of the Kursk battle. That said, potential readers should be aware that this book is not an exhaustive text-based description of the battle. Rather, the main purpose of the book is to use an extensive collection of photographs to provide a visual account of the fighting.

A brief overview of the battle is included to orient readers to the general outline of the battle. Sprinkled through this account are some incredible first person combat narratives. These accounts vary in length from half a page to eight pages. All of them are gripping and amazing to read. One passage, told from to point of view of a tank driver of the 7./SS-Panzer Regiment 1 describes being ordered into the middle of a chaotic smoke-filled battlefield to rescue a wounded officer. In the process of the rescue attempt, the drivers tank is hit numerous times and most of the crew are killed. The diver only barely escapes death/capture himself.

The heart of the book are the photographs and they are excellent and well captioned. The quality of the photographs range from fuzzy to crystal clear. In general most are of very good quality and are crisper than the photographs found in many other world war two books. Those that are poor quality are included because they show unique events, such as a two photo sequence showing German tank fire engaging lend-lease Churchill tanks. There are lots of photographs. It took me six evenings to make it though a first pass of the book - and that was without really studying the photos, just looking at them and reading the captions.

I strongly recommend this book. The photographs are diverse enough to appeal to a causal reader, but dedicated east front and world war two enthusiasts will be overwhelmed with the quality of this work. A combination of this book and Glantz & House's "The Battle of Kursk" would make an excellent gift.

Exploding the Myth.......2005-06-05

Although largely a photo album, this book also explodes the myth surrounding the Battle of Kursk. The 1st 70 odd pages provides the main narrative to the book that looks at the overall situation on the Eastern front, the German and Soviet plans, the build up of equipment and order of battle (including tank inventory tables). Also included is a day by day blow analysis of the battle in the southern sector along with first hand accounts from tank commanders, drivers, grenadiers that vividly relive the battle. The book shows that history has perhaps taken Soviet reports at face value, but German losses were not as great as were claimed and in fact if the German attack may have succeeded if launched earlier or at least until Soviet reserves had been dealt a blow. Strangely the culminating clash of armour at Prochorowka has gone down in history as a great Soviet victory, although the Russian attack was effectively halted with the Russians losing 180 tanks with few German losses in comparison. However, further losses were incurred by the Germans when the operation was called off by Hitler, and equipment that was undergoing repair had to be abandoned once the Russians launched their counter offensive. The authors also try to stress the battle was not just a tank battle but included all arms including infantry, artillery and anti tank weaponary and the Luftwaffe and Red airforce.

The photo section is huge (covering over 350 pages) and great pains have been made to correctly label the photgraphs. Also included is a colour profile section of the vehicles used at Kursk and 3 operational maps.

All in all this is a fine book that questions recorded history that would please the keen historian, while the photo and profile section would keep the keen modeller equally happy. Recommended

More on the Nez Perce tribe than Chief Joseph's flight.......2001-11-10

First off, contrary to earlier reviewers, this book has NOTHING to do with the Lewis and Clark expedition. Out of the 350 pages in the book, they might be mentioned a half dozen times and one might want to get Lavender's "The Way to the Western Sea," if interested on Meriweather and William's trip.
Instead, "Let me Be Free," is on the Nez Perce tribe which lived in Oregon's Wallowa Valley until it was forced from the land in the 1860's. This is a great book if the reader is interested in a century's worth of history about the tribe but I'd suggest something else if the intent on reading this is solely learning about Chief Joseph's tragic flight from the US military in 1877.
I originally got into Lavender's works after reading his fantastic book, "Bents' Fort" which is about the trading family of William Bent in SE Colorado. I had no interest in the subject but was recommended the book and I fell fully immersed into it because of Lavender's detailed writing-style and ability to create real identities to the historical characters instead of just giving names and dates. He has the same writing style in "Let Me Be Free," and will never shy from a unimportant but lighthearted side story. The writing is anything but dry.
The first half of LMBF is on how the tribe lived and existed, its neighbors, and its relations with the first whites to reach Oregon. Lavender has a contentious understanding of the western Native American tribes and writes in a fair and unbiased reader-friendly style and includes the correct names and terms the Nez Perce (Nimipu) used.
The last 100 pages cover Chief Joseph's (Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kehht's) flight and includes a fantastic map in the front for the reader to follow the tribe along on its failed march to freedom.
The book fails to get five stars from me because I was most interested in the Nez Perce march and it just took too long to finally reach that subject in the book. It reminded me of "Undaunted Courage," (Ambrose's book on Meriweather Lewis) where there is no much buildup to the expedition that once the reader finally reaches it in the book, it falls a bit flat. However, if anyone is interested on the Nez Perce tribe itself, you won't find a better book. Any Western Oregon historians would also immensely enjoy this work.

Historic Betrayals and Avoidable Human Suffering.......2001-02-27

Originally subtitled "the U.S. Army's War Against Seven Hundred Nez Perce Men,Women, and Children," this moving history documents the brutal persecution of a small Northwestern tribe. Western historian David lavender never hides his sympathy in this powerful chronicle of Chief Joseph's "flight toward freedom" in 1877 to avoid reservation life. This is a really sad story filled with overlooked possibilities for compromise, understanding, and tolerance. Lavender considers the Nex Perce War the final betrayal of a long and once-promising relationship between white explorers, fur trappers, Christian missionairies, and the tribe. Chief Old Joseph, father of the more famous Chief Joseph, even converted to Christianity for both spiritual and practical reasons. Peaceful coexistence and friendship with the new settlers was his policy. Greed, cultural intolerance, and racial hatred eventually doomed those possibilities for Nez Perce. Although Chief Joseph developed a reputation as an Indian Napeleon for his brilliant fighting tactics, Lavender emphasizes that Chief Joseph continually sought to avoid war. Chief Joseph's simple hope was to have a reservation that would allow his people to live in their traditional land and stay close to his father's grave in Wallowa Valley, Oregon. The United States military commanders of that time, however, demanded the tribe move. This compelling account of the Nez Perce's failed 1700 mile exodus to join Sitting Bull in Canada captures the cruelty, mindlessness, and viciousness of 19th century America's expansionist policies. Chief Joseph's eloquent words, especially when surrending after a blizzard just a few miles south of the Canadian border, accents the pain and injustice.
