Book Reviews of Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson

Book Review: A pacy and amusing account of a difficult time
Summary: 5 Stars

However, this book blows apart that stereotype.

The year, which must have been an awful time, is covered at pace, with the merest possible attention given to the political intricacies which would bore an untrained eye.

The account is told through REAL eyes - the best parts are the descriptions of the ordinary people of Bosnia, who had suffered so much, and of Gen. Rose's own troops, who did so well, and were so effective, at a time when they must have felt that their hands were tied behind their backs. Goose emerges as a real character, and I hope that we hear from him soon.

It must have been frustrating as the force commander to be criticised for the year by those who could only imagine how difficult and political was the job on the ground. It is a tribute to the author that the book does not become a slurry of self-justification.

I believe that this book has a real currency as a historical piece - yet is told like with the momentum of a thriller. It is as if there was a ghost writer.....

Go buy it for a good read, for a good record, or as an excellent historical piece.
