Michael Chezzi michael_chezzi_mua — Palaniuk'un bazı iyi fikirleri var, ama üzerine yazarak onları yere itiyor. Her zaman onun imgelerinden ve mizahından zevk almamıza izin vermek yerine hep cehennemi şok etmeye çalışıyor gibi görünüyor.

Tumi Moutlana noesis87media — W.K. Hancock, architect and advisor of the Smuts Archive, locates the central essence of Jan Christiaan Smuts in the farms and “the hills of [his:] beginnings.” Echoing almost Jeffersonian sentiments, Hancock notes that “Throughout the rest of his life, these farms remained his shield against financial worry and his guarantee of freedom to live, think and act by the standard of his own will and judgment.” Drawn across the pages of two volumes, interspersed with maps, pictures, and what can only be considered a modest number of references by modern scholarship, Hancock illuminates the life one of the most complex, experienced, and influential figures of modern history. Known to many as an impressive international statesman, Smuts acted also as a fearsome military strategist and leader, as a philosopher and spiritual intellect, and ultimately left an indelible legacy as one of the central figures that critically shaped (or misshaped) the birth and early direction of the South African nation. Hancock’s careful narrative of Smuts’ life effectively treats the diverse aspects of this impressive man, blending the traditional elements of biography with a nuanced appreciation of Smuts’ vast intellectual life and work, and casting his prose with lyrical details that reflect his subject’s own spiritual outlook. Hancock also demonstrates the rare ability to capture the fundamentals of strategy and conflict without belaboring his narrative with tactical detail or the indulgence of sensational prose. His description of General Smuts’ role in devising, defending and implementing an ambitious strategy opposing the British in the Boer Wars reflects a mixture of empathy and clear, resonant analysis. Of Smuts’ setting out upon the infamous invasion of the Cape Colony with his force of commandos, Hancock observes, “It was a brave speech. But perhaps too high flown? ...Some flourishes of rhetoric may be permitted to the leader of a forlorn hope; but if they are quite unrelated to the military realities of the time and place they will appear ridiculous in historical retrospect.” No higher tribute could thus be given to Smuts. Far from appearing ridiculous in defeat, the British subsequently came to rely heavily upon his military and diplomatic skills, even drafting his talents to the service of the Imperial War Cabinet in the First World War. In this first volume, Hancock’s work does justice to a man who did so much to contribute constructively to the shape of our modern world and yet, as the second volume might well document, eventually found himself fatally trapped by the cultural politics and sentiments of a previous century.

Vazha Purtskhvanidze thexuligana — I saw the movie first and really enjoyed it. I'm someone who can read and book and see the movie in either order and enjoy them for what they are. I like to see the differences and becuase movies have to condense so much I like to read the book as well so I can find out more.
