Anouar Zaanoun anouar19981c9a — From other reviews, I expected this book to be all about race. Of course, it was, but the focus was more on mother-daughter relationships than anything. The bee-keeping aspect of the book was fascinating, and the prose was gorgeous but at the same time seemed appropriate for a 13 and 14 year old girl. Her feelings were expressed beautifully in a fashion which was sometimes a little overwrought (which is probably appropriate for a girl of that age anyway, when everything feels like the end of the world). I really enjoyed all of the characters, and it was refreshing to have a happy ending after all the sadness within the book.

Rae Farine rfarine — The war in Iraq and September 11th probably will be the defining event of the youth of the United States today when we look back in a few decades, in much the same way the war in Vietnam defined a generation of youth in the 1960s and 1970s. In a war that ended place a decade before most of those youth were born, what lessons can we take back? How exactly did the Vietnamese win? What were the social movements in the US that arose out of this conflict? Why are the myths of the American-Vietnamese War? The trick to understanding a lot of history is that a lot of what was taught us growing up was simply wrong and just a particular point of view. "A People's History of the Vietnam War", by Jonathan Neale, does a fantastic job of presenting an excellent history that skips over the usual hoop-la about certain elite leaders of the war, and instead concentrates on a more systematic analysis of the war that took so many millions of lives. He sees the world in terms of class and therefore argues that the American ruling class got into Vietnam as a continuation of their policies aiming at domination of the globe. They needed to save South Vietnam, which was about a brutal a dictatorship as there gets, in order to shore up their support of other dictators throughout the world. At the same time, he doesn't commit the same blunder that many other left-wing historians make in supporting elite cadre of the Communist Party either. He correctly identifies that the majority of the party leadership were the sons and daughters of the ruling landlord class, and though they wanted a better world and sought to destroy the class of their ancestors, they also made sure that they, the CP, stayed on as rulers. They did lead a mass mobilization of peasants which liberated their land and carried out a revolution, and life was much better under the CP than it was under the French, but at the same time as Vietnam liberalizes its economy, it is the Party which mainly benefits from it. Neale makes a pretty convincing argument that three main factors led to the defeat of the United States military in Vietnam by the Vietnamese forces. 1) The main one was the peasants revolt, led by the Communists and guerillas, in which hundreds of thousands of fighters gave their lives to bring a new future to their country. Millions of peasants died in bombings, slaughters, and executions, but they never gave up. When the Viet Cong (the South Vietnamese guerrilla group) was nearly annihilated following the Tet offensive and Operation Phoenix by US special forces, North Vietnamese units filled the void and gave everything until the truce of 1973 five years later. By the time of that truce, the guerrillas of the south and soldiers of the north were completely exhausted. for the rest of the review: http://www.woodenshoebooks.com/review...

Marie Birkner _arielouise_irkner — Interesting, but I mostly skimmed the last half of the book.

Vincent Burkhead vincentcreative — A bit far fetched but good read. Scary that NSa can reach so deep into our lives thru their listening and evaluations of telephone and email.
