Union Forever-Excellent Book.......2003-07-01
The Book Union Forever, the 2nd book in the Lost Regiment Series, begins with a good start. The new president, Kalencka, and the leader of Roum, the Consul Marcus, sign a treaty that will allow the new railroad to extend into Roum. The Republic of Rus is beginnign to form, and the Suzdalians have adopted Democracy and rebuilt the northern part of Suzdal.
The action first begins when an army of Carthaginians led by Tobias Cromwell, who has converted the Ogunquit into an ironclad, lands and destroys the town of Ostia to the South of Roum. The veteran regiment of the 5th Suzdal led by young Vincent Hawthorne attacks and is thrown back, and the city is besieged. Hawthorne sends a message back to Rus, and with quick actions, an Army of 25,000 men led by Keane goes to Roum. However, when the Army arrives, the Carthaginians pull out, and using their ironclads they block off the army from returning to Suzdal and they set off to besiege it.
After this Keane builds an ironclad fleet of his own with the help of the Roum, and he sails off and engages Tobias and a climactic battle. However, I will not reveal the secret of who won.
All in all, this turned out to be a great book. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in these books
Better than the first in the series.......2002-06-30
Lots of action in this one. Several large battles. Even a naval battle.
Too bad the author has to waste so much time in the beginning reintroducing the characters and their history. If Forstchen could skip that and go into more detail with the plot...
Either way, this was a very good follow up to Rally Cry. I read back to back. I finished Rally Cry (#1) and immediately picked up Union Forever (#2). I have Terrible Swift Sword (#3) in my hand right now. After reading the irst 60 or so pages of Union Forever, I was right back into the main story.
Excellent book. I hope Forstchen can keep up the pace. The end of the book leads us to believe that it will be the never ending battle. Fine with me.....
The series so far:
#1 - Rally Cry
#2 - Union Forever
#3 - Terrible Swift Sword
#4 - Fateful Lightning
#5 - Battle Hymn
#6 - Never Sound Retreat
#7 - Band of Brothers
#8 - Men At War
#9 - Down To The Sea
I have them all......
The Navy's Turn........2000-08-11
Second book in the "Lost Regiment" series, this one is a winner, too. In what could turn out to be a very clever plot device, the author presents the new horde, Merki, waging war by proxy against the Republic, using as pawns the humans from Cartha. This is naval warfare, and the shifty Cartha will prove tough customers in all the novels to come. New major characters are developed here, among them Bullfinch, who goes from being the only Navy man to leave the ship at the end of "Rally Cry", to become Admiral of the Republic's navy. Also, we get insights into Tobias' motivations, and there is some redemption, as well. Ferguson starts to prove that he is a engeneering genius, and both Hawthorne and Keane will see parts of themselves that they don't like. A very good, fast read. There are several typos and a little confusion in the names, but, overall, still an excellent Bloody New World. When it comes to sheer emotion in battle, Forstchen outdoes everyone else in the field.
Yet again another five-starer..........2000-03-03
Cool. It was neat to see more people than the Yankees or Rus. Romans are always cool, so seeing them in here is exciting, and then, of course, there are the Carthaginians. After the defeat of the Tugars, it was interesting to see Mutza, their leader or Qar Qarth, having to serve the Merki Horde. The sea battles were really cool, and it was nice to see that dog Cromwell get his just desserts. Again, the editing was horrible, but it didn't interfere with the overall story, so Union Forever was an awesome book and a good follow up to Rally Cry.
A somewhat different plot line for this one........1999-02-02
Very different and very interesting. The human vs. human angle is perhaps more understandable than the human vs. Tugar or Merki. Perhaps a little too unrealistic. Still, who ever said that realism was needed in books. A truly entertaining read. Resolves a few important points for us. One of the best parts is the cliffhanger ending. Another great one by Forschten.
Book Description
Soviet socialism was based on paradoxes that were revealed by the peculiar experience of its collapse. To the people who lived in that system the collapse seemed both completely unexpected and completely unsurprising. At the moment of collapse it suddenly became obvious that Soviet life had always seemed simultaneously eternal and stagnating, vigorous and ailing, bleak and full of promise. Although these characteristics may appear mutually exclusive, in fact they were mutually constitutive. This book explores the paradoxes of Soviet life during the period of "late socialism" (1960s-1980s) through the eyes of the last Soviet generation.
Focusing on the major transformation of the 1950s at the level of discourse, ideology, language, and ritual, Alexei Yurchak traces the emergence of multiple unanticipated meanings, communities, relations, ideals, and pursuits that this transformation subsequently enabled. His historical, anthropological, and linguistic analysis draws on rich ethnographic material from Late Socialism and the post-Soviet period.
The model of Soviet socialism that emerges provides an alternative to binary accounts that describe that system as a dichotomy of official culture and unofficial culture, the state and the people, public self and private self, truth and lie--and ignore the crucial fact that, for many Soviet citizens, the fundamental values, ideals, and realities of socialism were genuinely important, although they routinely transgressed and reinterpreted the norms and rules of the socialist state.

Performing admiration .......2006-03-21
The anthropological account of post-modern society offered in this book is certainly one of the best I encountered in recent years. By brilliantly and engagingly analyzing the late soviet society, the author provides us with original analytical insights into the peoples' relations with ideology, discourse and ritual. A perennial social laboratory for all kinds of cultural experiments, Russia in its soviet phase served A. Yurchak as an empirical field whereby to conceptualize the paradoxical, non-dichotomous and multi-layered post-modern social condition. Moreover, Yurchak joins the exclusive club of genial authors who succeeded in touching the intangible uniqueness of the "soviet experience" - i.e. everyday life, way of thinking, forms of language and power, performance of dream and fake. Thus, this reading is necessary for both the favorites of lively intellectual reading and for everyone who pretends to understand something about "Russians", even if they are already post-Soviet and therefore similar and close on the one hand, but different and inconceivable on the other.
As anthropologist and Russian by origin, I try, in my everyday experience, to explain to my colleagues and friends the world I came from and to show how relevant this world is to any cultural and intellectual account of contemporary life. Yurchak's book is a great contribution to this challenge.
A remarkable book.......2006-02-03
This is a very good ethnographic account of some important aspects of everyday life in the later years of Soviet Union. It is interesting, well written, the quality of the research is high, and the account is truly enlightening. As a researcher actively interested in East European ethnography I woud very much like to recommend it to readers looking for interesting and non-banal accounts.

Forever Nineteen.......2003-02-26
Story line was weak and it did not contain as much information as I thought it would.
Forever Nineteen.......2001-10-28
This book is the account of a fictional Lieutenant (Tretyakov) in the Russian Army--although certainly based on the actual experiences of the author. It was very interesting to read about the war from a Russian point of view.
There are some common characteristics with "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Remarque, but both the war (World War II rather that World War I) and the point of view (Russian rather than German) make it unique. Treyakov's claim that he never did anything extraordinary or heroic contradicts his ultimate sacrifice.
A most excellent book.
The message of the book is sobering--that Russians are just like Americans and want peace.
story of War with plea for Peace.......2001-04-23
This excellent novel of the Eastern Front is practically a memoir. It is based on author Grigoriy Baklanov's own experiences fighting on Russia's front lines. The main character is a fictional young lieutenant, Volodya Tretyakov, an ordinary Red Armyman who has never performed a heroic feat, yet is a hero nonetheless. His tragic fate is immediately revealed, in the title "Forever Nineteen", and in the opening paragraphs in which his skeleton is unearthed by a crew filming a documentary on a thirty-year-old battlefield. So, a certain poingancy pervades the entire story, as the reader comes to know and care for the character. As Tretyakov defends his country, every day experiencing the horrors of war, he becomes keenly aware of the preciousness of life. Deep bonds are formed under fire with his comrades. Even in the grim aftermath of battle, he notes the beauty of his world amidst the destruction, and he desires with all his heart to live. When he is wounded, he gets a brief respite at a military hospital. There he meets a young woman and falls in love. Conflictingly, he longs to return to the front. Promises are made upon his departure, and Tretyakov begins to believe he will indeed survive. The reader, knowing otherwise, dreads the story's ending. This was the author's intent. "I hope you will find the people dear to you," he writes in his forward. "They... just like the American people, want peace most of all." Through Baklanov's moving, descriptive prose, the reader feels acutely the senselessness and tragedy of war. Read his book; you will not be able to put it down or soon forget its message.
This book is one of the best novels written on the WW II.......1997-05-18
Having read this book several times, I come to the conclusion, that this book is simply one of the most interesting and touching works on tis subject. The book, written in the Soviet times, has nothing to do with the communist ideology. It was first prohibited to publish and it took the author a long time to finally make it accessible to public. It talks about the feelings of the so-called "lost generation", teenagers, that dedicated their best years to saving their country. Their beliefs, hopes, - everything is in this book. The author was one of them - the subject is a really close thing for him.
I would really recomend you to read this book if you are anyhow interested in WW2 and the its impact on the life of individuals.

Important statement about the Russian soul.......2006-05-04
As a novel, this is not particularly satisfying -- at least the translation I read -- because it starts as a compelling story about a Siberian exile and morphs into an essay on Leninism, Stalinism and violence.
Even so, this is a great book that tell us that the danger of Russian exceptionalism; that somehow its idea of suffering and the soul is an exportable world view. I think Dostoyevsky is a little easier to understand now. I look forward to reading Life and Fate.
Moving, Thoughtful & Important.......2004-03-23
Vasily Grossman is something of a forgotten, unsung, giant of Soviet dissident authors. Born in Berdichev, Ukraine in 1905, Grossman rose to prominence and received national acclaim as a war reporter for Red Star, the official newspaper of the Red Army. Grossman's coverage of the Battle for Stalingrad was popular and well known. In fact, Grossman may have been the first reporter to tell the story of the Holocaust, beginning with his reports subsequent to the liberation of Treblinka in Poland. Prior to the publication (abroad) of Forever Flowing Grossman had seen his other major work, Life & Fate, banned by the KGB. In February 1961, a KGB Colonel, Vladimir Prokopenko came to Grossman's flat not to arrest Grossman but to arrest his novel "Life and Fate". Grossman's manuscripts, carbon copies, notebooks and typewriter ribbons were all seized. These events took contemporaneously with the authorized publication in the USSR of Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. An explanation of why Grossman was perceived as more of a threat than Solzhenitsyn can be gleaned from the contents of Forever Flowing. (The story of the eventual publication of Life and Fate is best left to reviewers of that book.)
"Forever Flowing" tells a simple, yet emotionally deep and politically nuanced tale. The story begins with the 1957 return to Moscow of Ivan Grigoryevich after 30 years of forced labor in the Gulag. (1957 marked the year in which the tide of returning prisoners of the Gulag reached its peak.) He arrives at the flat of his cousin, Nikolay Andreyevich. Nikolay, a scientist with less than stellar skills, has reached some measure of success at the laboratory through dint of being a survivor. He reaches the top of his profession only after those of his more talented colleagues are skimmed from the laboratory after purges (Stalin's last campaign - the Doctors Plot - seems to be referenced here) and other typical political campaigns. The meeting in the flat is entirely unsatisfactory for both parties. Nikolay is particularly upset (although he is not capable of figuring out why) as he sees his pale imitation of a life reflected through the prism of his cousin's 30 year journey. Grossman paints a vivid picture of Nikolay, more than a bit jealous that Ivan's light had always shone brighter than his own prior to Ivan's arrest. Nikolay suffers from the guilt of one who was not arrested and who is painfully aware of the choices he made to keep from being arrested. In that sense having Ivan sit across from him at the dinner table disturbs Nikolay no end because Ivan represents a mirror into which Nikolay can see only his own hollow reflection.
Grigoryevich leaves Moscow for his old city of Leningrad, the place where he was first arrested in 1927. There, quite by chance, he runs into the person whose denunciation placed him in jail in the first place. Grossman here embarks on a discourse on the different types and forms of denunciation available to the Soviet citizen. It is a remarkable discourse that shows how many different ways there are to participate in a purge and how many ways there are to legitimize ones participation and/or acquiescence.
From Leningrad Ivan travels to a southern industrial city where he finds work and eventually finds a deep and satisfying love in the person of his landlady, a grieving war widow. That relationship forms the centerpiece of what might be called Grossman's vision that love and freedom are two goals, not mutually exclusive, that form the essence of our shared humanity.
The above summary does not do justice to the power and depth of Grossman's prose. Further, it cannot do justice to the literary and political importance of the work. Since the death of Stalin, the Soviet line had remained relatively firm - Stalin's excesses were the product of a disturbed mind that represented a horrible deviation from the theory and principles of Leninism. The USSR's best path is the one that returned it to the path created by Lenin. Khrushchev first enunciated this line. (Brezhnev never paid it much mind as his own administration marked a step back towards Stalinism in some respects.) Even Gorbachev's perestroika was based on the theory that a return to first-principles, i.e. Leninism, would save the USSR from destruction.
Grossman did not buy into this line and Forever Flowing is noted for a remarkable attack not only on Stalin but on Lenin and Lenin's anti-democratic tendencies that had more in common with Ivan the Terrible than the principles of revolutionary democracy. "All the triumphs of Party and State were bound up with the name of Lenin. But all the cruelty inflicted on the nation also lay - tragically - on Lenin's shoulders." Grossman may have been the first to make this leap and he paid the price for making that leap. (This involves the suppression of his Life & Fate.)
Despite the horrors set out, quietly and without excess rhetoric, Grossman returns to an somewhat optimistic vision of mans search for freedom" "No matter how enormous the skyscrapers, no matter how powerful the cannon, no matter how unlimited the might of the state, no matter how vast its empire, all this was only smoke and mist which would disappear. There remained alive and growing one genuine force alone, consisting of one element only - freedom. To live meant to be a free human being.
Forever Flowing (and Life and Fate) are well worth the time and attention of anyone with an interest in the subject matter.
Alexander Shuster.......2001-08-30
One of the best books about not only a Soviet reality but also about Russian nationalism and imperialism that still exists today and probably will be "flowing forever".
Highly recommended!!!
Moving Account of horrors of Bolshevism and Leninism.......2001-08-17
A very moving account of the horrors of Bolshevism and Stalinism in Russia.The chapter that touched me the most was the story of a young mother who was taken away from her mother and child to Siberia where she eventually dies of disease and despair No decent human being could fail to be moved by this account of a nightmare that really happened It is told in the rich literary style that can only come from a Russian writer-bringing to life the horrors of Communist tyranny and the beauty of Russian life that survived it
An inadequate version of a fine book.......2000-07-26
This translation should not have been republished. Firstly, it is both clumsy and full of errors. Secondly, it is based on an incomplete manuscript. Grossman's final, considerably expanded text was published in the Soviet Union in the late eighties. A translation of that text is long overdue!
Book Description
An oral history based on interviews done for the award-winning documentary, The Wobblies, by filmmakers Stewart Bird and academy-award-winning director Deborah Shaffer, with historical introductions to each section of interviews by labor historian Dan Georgakas, co-editor of the monumental Encyclopedia of the American Left.

The most valuable labor history resource out there.......1998-06-12
This book gives the most complete and colorful history of the IWW that I have ever seen. The combination of personal histories with scholarly writings on the IWW through time makes a truly rich history. I would strongly recommend it for anyone with even a passing interest in the subject.

Book Description
Are Islam and the West on a collision course? From the Ayatollah Khomeini to Saddam Hussein, the image of Islam as a militant, expansionist, and rabidly anti-American religion has gripped the minds of Western governments and media. But these perceptions, John L. Esposito writes, stem from a long history of mutual distrust, criticism, and condemnation, and are far too simplistic to help us understand one of the most important political issues of our time. In this new edition of The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality?, Esposito places the challenge of Islam in critical perspective. Exploring the vitality of this religion as a global force and the history of its relations with the West, Esposito demonstrates the diversity of the Islamic resurgence--and the mistakes our analysts make in assuming a hostile, monolithic Islam. This third edition has been expanded to include new material on current affairs in Turkey, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Southeast Asia, as well as a discussion of international terrorism.
Customer Reviews:
takes the long view.......2007-05-18
Esposito does a fanatastic job showing how Islam really is a religion of peace: once everybody's Muslim, that is. Till then, pass the ammo. And since peace is the ultimate goal, we have no choice but to classify it as a peaceful religion. (Pol Pot was also a man of peace in this way.)
Another strength of Esposito's book is the way it proves how what we persist in seeing as a threat should instead be greeted as a welcome boon.
After all, once we've all converted, we'll likely be much happier. There'll be no more interfaith disagreements, no uppity women, no Israel, no public controversies, no music, art, sculpture, dance, or bickering political parties.
Nor will there be any debates about education, art, philosophy, history, or anything else. And since there will be no further need to read books, our pious brows will never be furrowed in painful cogitation.
Our lives will be led in blissful confidence that God loves us, we're 100% right, we're going to Heaven, and that by everybody bowing to a rock five times a day we will have attained the absolute summit of human achievement.
So what threat?
A pressing need for a fourth edition.......2007-03-18
Firstly I should say that this review pertains more directly to the writing style and content of Esposito's text rather than a wider discussion of his thesis on the nature of militant Islam -- those looking for such an analysis may wish to consult other Amazon reviews for this book.
As with many writers on the subject, Esposito couches his discussion of contempory events by tracing their historical developments: indeed he devotes some two-thirds of the text to this end. Laudable and necessary though this approach is, I was stuck by the considerable unevenness of the structure: as can be discerned from a glance at the contents page, the chapters range from a modest 20 pages to an unwieldy 80 pages (within a 280 page text) with arbitrary sub- and sub-sub- divisions dotted throughout. Whilst this system can work effectively for certain writers, to my mind this approach causes Esposito to treat his subject matter in an similarly uneven style, allowing, for example, considerable discussion to one nation's history, little to another, or none to yet another, somewhat irrespective of what importance in the Islamic revivalist story might have been fairly attributed to that country back in in the mid to late 1990s. Developments in Palestine--relations between Hamas, Fatah and the US in particular--are glossed over, almost as an afterthought, in the concluding pages of the text.
Equally, general readers wishing to digest 'The Islamic Threat' cover to cover, rather than by chapter or sub-chapter as an academic gloss, will slowly become frustrated by Esposito's continual use of repeated miniture lists and translations of Arabic phrases. Clearly the term 'jihad', for example, should be translated the upon its first use, but surely not on the fifth or tenth use also.
I do not wish to be unfair to Esposito. He is undoubtedly a leading authority in his field, and attempts to offer an sober analysis of Islamic-Western relations in a time where it has conceivably never been of greater importance. My feeling, and I'm sure that of many others who have read 'The Islamic Threat' is that a fourth edition is sorely needed to correct both sometimes painful editorial clunkiness and, of course, bring his analysis into line with developments since the 1999 edition.
If you can be open a little, lots of informative details .......2006-05-29
Despite an automatic "us against them" response many of us may have to this topic, this erudite presentation should not be discounted and is all the more important to study.
It is unfortunate that many Christians and Jews feel negatively toward Islam. To be fair, it is unfortunate the Islam emerged as a teaching meaning to supercede Christianity. However, Christianity seems to have begun and has largely remains convinced of itself as a one true way. Perhaps from all this, folks from all sides will learn the dangers of placing authority in supernatural claims.
But given that Christianity, Judaism and Islam exist as they are, it seems helpful that John Esposito has been able to make it clearer just how Islam does exist these days. Answers are by no means easy or simple nor is it constructive to just try to write off a strawman Islam.
Esposito has presented so much information on the various forms and usages of Islam today that it would be too much to ask him to expand his early sections on the history of Islam. Nevertheless readers unconvinced somehow here as to the contributions of Islam may want to also read books focused on Islam's history. Reading the Quran also can't hurt. It may seem repititive but it does present powerful images that may explain to doubters Islam's appeal.
People exploit religions, People use religions to exploit other people. This hardly is confined to Islam nor is Islam hardly confined to such activity. For roughly 1 billion people Islam provides help: Esposito's contribution herein is making it overwhelmingly clear how many various forms that help has taken and how many of these forms are constructive.
Esposito knows his stuff!.......2005-10-24
I read this book for a book review I had to do for a history of Islam course. Altogether, it was a great book, though probably not for the "average" reader. Esposito is a scholar, thus he writes like one. Anyone who hasn't already gotten a few academic books under their belt might find a few of his more complex concepts a bit difficult to follow. He goes into great detail, but also assumes a lot of knowledge on the part of the reader. Nevertheless, the points presented in the book are important for everyone to understand. As Esposito says, if you TRULY want to understand Islam and modern Muslims, you MUST be willing to delve into the complexities of history. It may be hard work, but if you want to know the truth behind the stereotypes, you have to be willing to learn a lot!
A fantasy in which 9/11 didn't and couldn't happen.......2004-09-27
This book, written before 9/11, tries to convince the reader that something like 9/11 will not happen. Well, it did happen.
It is not an accident that Esposito failed to admit that something like 9/11 might be in the works. His purpose was to whitewash Muslim terror. And it is worth noting that such books do no one any good. They certainly do not help Muslims!
