Book Reviews of 9-11
Book Review: Best book in recent memory
Summary: 5 Stars
Chomsky throws down the facts in this book like vegtable soup. And it's very easy to digest too. In 9-11 the reader gets a delicacy of unique perspective, often ignorned by mainstream medias and authors. Chomsky's answers all the who, what, when, where, how, and most importantly why of the tragedy! He gives compelling reasons which are backed up by substantial factual details on the reasons of why 9/11 happened without justifying the sheer horror of it. We in America, when we turn on the news are often bombarded with unquestioning, flag-waving media outlets, ex. FoxNews Channel, CNN, etc. And Chomsky's analysis of 9/11 is a welcome change to that gross media-machines, who always hold that America #1 view!Book Review: Bold, we have to think of what they think, and would do.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want the other version of the truth read this book, it is not a slap in the face, it is Hard Truth. One thing that many of us do not realize is the way a foriegn country will react to our actions. This Book reveals that very accurate thought reasoning in open detail. From reading this it may be a trite reason for all of us to accept that certain nations will respond to our policies, meaning we should be careful for ourselves from what others will do to us if we intrude. Sure, there is absolutely no excuse for 911, what needs to be looked at is how to prevent it from happening again, one way is to be aware of what these primitive minded terrorists and religious fanatics will do if we make a certain intrusive policy. You don't step on a snake with bare feet, it will bite you, and if you have protective shoes, it will find a way to get you. The snake does not know any better, and neither do many of these people who would like to ruin us. We need to wake up to that reality, not everyone is as intelligent as we are. That is what I got from this book. I do think that is an accurate real life summary of anything or anyone who slaps people around, the other will do something. It's horrible that thousands had to die for this primitive way of thinking, but that is real life we have to obviously be more wary of. This book brings this to light in a very Bold position, of what the primitives could and can do to us, not what we would normally think they or anyone would do. We have to accept that primitives are in great numbers, and they do not have our way of thinking or reasoning. This book says , be careful.A book that offers a tremendous peace solution and even predicted the terrorist attack is SB 1 or God By Karl Mark Maddox, I believe this author has a potential remedy.
Book Review: CHOMSKY AT HIS BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
Vintage Chomsky who in this book has the courage and honesty of analyzing and rigorously documenting WHY so many people in the world particularly in the Middle East legitimately hate and resent not Americans, who are generally decent and wonderful people, but a flawed and biased US foreign policy conditioned and corrupted by a powerful and dominating pro-Israel lobby that continues to distort history and facts hollywood style, whereby the victim is the aggressor and vice versa .This american policy repeatedly and strongly denounced, but rarely reported in the mainstream media , by numerous Americans who are academics, church people, writers, politicians, former diplomats and military officers has consistently and blindly supported Israel's state terror and apartheid policies against Palestinians in the occupied territories and aggression against its neighbours, particularly Lebanon all this in blatant violation of various UN and Security Council resolutions and in spite of condemnations by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and European organizations etc....
Book Review: Can we handle the truth?
Summary: 5 Stars
Sobering and unsettling pronouncements jump off the pages (ALL the pages) of this work. Colin Powell, in an interview shortly after the atrocity, was asked "Why do they hate us?" Powell responded to the effect that they hate us because we love freedom. Powell is well-liked in this country -- but somewhat naive if he truly believes his own statement. Such short-sightedness permeates our culture and we need to apprise ourselves of the complexities of world affairs. We also need to face the fact that the U.S. (along with Israel) voted against a UN resolution condemning terrorism. Can we handle the truth that the U.S., since the end of World War II, has BOMBED forty countries? That millions of innocent civilians around the world have died as a result of our adventures. That Uncle Sam has been in bed with rather unsavory characters like Suharto, Noriega, Hussein, Bin Laden and many leaders of supremely repressive regimes. Chomsky helps us to realize the inescapable conclusion: the United States is the world's foremost perpetrator of terrorism.Book Review: Careful
Summary: 2 Stars
People need answers for problems they don't understand. They need comfort. Much of his factual information is incorrect, or at least estrimated wrong, but that's not the point. Why did he write it? Let's just put this succinctly.Chicken Soup For the American Soul this is NOT.
