This book is not the book about the Israeli quest to bring terrorists to justice. It is about items located in a museum in the State of Tennessee related to the Battle of King's Mountain.

If you are looking for the book about the search for terrorists named "The Sword of Gideon", look elsewhere.

If you like to see the terrorists get what's coming to them, this is the book to read. Based on "fact", a group of Isreali Mossad agents seek for revenge for the massacre of 12 Isreali athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. A group of 5 men stalk various terrorists on their official hit list in Europe and a couple of others thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately they don't get them all and a side story of involvement with a mafia type connection for information makes this book a real page turner. Nothing like the bad guys getting greased with their own methods. I've read it 3 times and I'm about to start again. The 1986 movie of the same name dosen't do the book justice.

A competent popularized battle narrative that fails to capture the magnitude of suffering and carnage that took place on Okinawa. A better history encompassing the human dimension is Tennozan: the Battle of Okinawa and the Atomic Bomb. It is a griping appocoliptic description of this greatest of all Pacific War battles, one that dwarfed Iwo Jima, Tarawa and Peleliu combined.

A very detailed book on the entire operation. Deals mainly with the military stragedy of the opposing forces. Shows the Japenese experience very well.

Having been forced to read this book in a graduate class, I must say that I found it to be nearly impossible to read. The clearly Communistic slant makes this more of a political tract than a history.

James R. Barrett is a competent historian. He is even, despite his tendency to confuse profundity with complexity of expression, a reasonably good writer. Unfortunately, these qualities are overshadowed in his book on William Z. Foster by his own romantic attachment to the mythology of the "Working Class". The work is well researched, but its interpretation is flawed by Barrett's insistence on viewing the past through rose-colored glasses (pun intended). Simply stated, Barrett's own rather extreme ideological predilections taint the book to the point that it says almost nothing about the real place of Communism and its leader in American history. Frankly, with Edward P. Johanningmeier's biography of Foster already published, there is no real justification for Barrett's book. It has its uses in providing some new detail, but essentially it is irrelevant as history, and stands merely as an interesting document of fading left-wing historicism.

REA's problem solvers series starts out with a treatise on why they have written their books. Many of the problems they express with textbooks are evidenced in Electric Circuits by Nilsson, et al. The following problems, that REA states are evident in many textbooks, are evident with this one: "No systematic rules have been developed which students may follow up in a step-by-step manner. . ." the subject matter is written "by a professional who has insight. . .not shared by the students" and "the examples following a topic are too few in number and too simple to enable the student to get a thorough grasp of the principles involved."

While Electric Circuits does a presentable job at being clear, it tends to gloss over important nuances that are not described in the examples. With no answers to exercises available with the book (you can find them on the book's official website with some searching-but even those solutions have multiple errors) and no study guide showing step-by-step solutions to some of the problems, the student is left with trying to figure out the exercises without adequate examples or explanations. This reduces the textbook from being a resource to being a reference that sits in the student's book bag all semester only to be opened to find the assigned problems.

For an individual to read to get an extremely basic explanation of circuit analysis, or for an expert looking to refresh his or her memory, Electric Circuits may be adequate. For a student trying to learn the minutiae of circuit analysis, this book is woefully lacking.

Electric Circuits served as an introductory text for my first electronics class. It was helpful throughout the year and it was formatted to help students understand the main concepts. Additionally, this is one of the few engineering books that has more than the regular two tone colors-black and white. Nilsson's book also added blue and there are many diagrams and pictures of actual applications of the circuitry principles. However, the first two chapters on Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law did not provide enough examples of different configurations of circuits and I was stuck trying to determine the basic elements of a circuit. Secondly, Nilsson's book does have answers to the end of chapter questions in the back of the text as most other science or engineering books do, though there were two or three examples in the chapter that explained the thought process behind solving certain problems. I might have given two stars because the book started out roughly, but as the semester moved on, the book became more helpful.

it is very understable, you can read it and understand it even if you aren't native speaker. the problem is that sometimes problems are very hard, are you are not showed before how to solve them.

Compared to his other 'Columbo' works, this is by far Harrington's worst. I never thought I'd see the day when I couldn't wait to finish a Columbo mystery just to finish it and get it over with, rather than for the finale where our hero normally breaks down the case and explains all. As it is in this one he explains bugger all and the 'Hoffa connection' is both ludicrous AND unnecessary. Top that with the fact that the Columbo we see in this book is so far removed from our beloved Columbo on TV that it looks like an entirely different detective PLUS the fact that one of the main characters, Mickey, switches from a last name of Newcastle to Newhouse with irritating regularity and you've got yourself a pretty lame effort... sorry!

What happened? Columbo would be deeply saddened to read how his character has been so trivialized and packaged for sensational appeal. So much of this story is padded with solicitous sex and violence. What dose oral sex have to do with case? Do we need to read how some second-level victims are "blown apart" by a large caliber weapon? Who can't tell what the Hoffa connection is going to be from the very start? I was very disappointed in the handling of this. There is a very minimal story line to begin with and the superfluous verbiage just makes it more tedious. Mr. Harrington can do better than this. You don't have to print ANYTHING; wait until you have the kind of story line that was so evident in the original TV series. That's what brings in the interest. What we've been given is an overdose of rumpled fluff and all the references to semen, gore and peek-a-boo sex don't make this a hotter, more palatable bowl of chili.

The author does not know how to spell Dr. MOSSADDEGH'S name correctly. Again another American ignorant. Just as they call us EYE-RAINIANS.

This book is a competent history of the politics of Iran and the place of Musaddiq in it. The other reviewer's statement about the spelling of Musaddiq's name is rather silly: it's a matter of a transliteration of the Farsi letters using an Arabic pronunciation (Musaddiq) vs. one that is derived from Farsi pronunciation. In short, it's no reflection on the quality of the work whatsover, if anyone was prone to take such a silly review seriously to begin with.

So far, I have yet to find a more useless d20 book. The whole book seems to be a collection of randomly generated maps.

The maps are typically a top down view with brief (and somewhat questionable) descriptions of what each item represents. The map quality is only passable at best and the descriptions are sometimes just plain silly.

After purchasing the book, I returned it and took the shipping loss. Don't make the same mistake... avoid this book!

I bought this book just to see what is being published by the far right wing. If you you twist your mind around enough, you can see how this can make sense to some people looking for an explanation of why the world is like it is. Not really an enjoyable read, it made me angry more than it made me think, but it did have some creepy flashes of insight.

This book isn't good for a novice to start learning about black hair care. The is very confusing and a waste of time. In the book, they repeat the same thing over and over, you in up skipping pages, and half of the information you're probably already know how to do. The author of this book does't go in-depth the information they provide. Out of all the Milady's book, this book is the most disappionting and isn't worth your hard earn money.

The fact that I seem to be statistically challenged may be the cause of a clouded review; however, I feel that this book leaves out a great deal of information pertinent to finding your way from point A to B. The layout also leaves much to be desired. Examples frequently correspond to other examples in previous pages so that you are constantly flipping pages and trying to sort out what's what. I am now halfway through this book (and still clueless) and between all members of my class, we have found multiple typo errors. The errors are not just simple misspellings- most of them have been major errors in formulas. I had hoped to learn and understand much more of what's in the book- granted part of that is the instructor's responsibility, but the book truly seems lacking.
