That sounds good. I'll come back to this one.



A lot of books on outright greed and abuse of power these days. Laws, moral or otherwise only need to be followed by others.

Right on the money AFA!!!! :thumbsup: The first part is allmost so realistic, cause it's whats really happening today, now!! It's kinda like another version of George Orwells 1984, but this is even closer to whats happening!! Take Care!! :wave2:

The Web of Deceit by Barry M. Lando goes into the history of the struggle for oil rights in the Middle East after WW1, and makes some interesting parallels of history repeating itself.

Ghost Rider • Travels On The Healing Road • Neil Peart

By Kevin Forest Moreau

Neil Peart, drummer and lyricist for the long-enduring progressive rock band Rush, seemed to have it all. In 1996 and 1997 the band had embarked on an extensive tour that Peart, a notorious perfectionist, believed to be the personal and professional high point of his life. He enjoyed enough material wealth to travel the world and to maintain two homes in his native Canada. And, of course, he had a supportive and close-knit family: his common-law wife, Jackie, and 19-year-old daughter Selena.

But all of that changed with startling abruptness. On a night in August, 1997, Peart and his wife received news that Selena, to whom they'd bid goodbye earlier that day as she headed for college, had died in an auto accident. As emotionally shattering an event as it was, it spelled only the beginning for Peart, whose wife sunk immediately into a deep depression and withdrew into a shell of her former self before learning a few months later that she suffered from a terminal form of cancer. Within less than a year, she was gone . . . .

What does he do ? Gets on his bad motor scooter and rides !

Rise and Fall of the Third Reich...William Shirier

I should get that. The local library has something on the history of Europe that looked good. But this caught my eye too;

Target Switzerland - Stephen P. Halbrook

From Publishers Weekly - The recent focus on Swiss accommodations to the Third Reich has obscured the facts surrounding Switzerland's success in deterring Nazi invasion, argues Halbrook in this narrative of Switzerland's preparations for armed resistance during WWII. Concessions on commercial or refugee issues, Halbrook contends, were not enough by themselves to fend off one of history's most ruthless dictatorships. What was decisive, he finds, was Swiss determination to defend itself by an armed force based on armed citizens. In contrast to Holland, Denmark or Norway, Switzerland during WWII successfully maintained its neutrality. It did so, argues Halbrook, by convincing Nazi Germany and its own citizens that any invader would pay in blood for every foot of ground, and in the end would find only devastation. Halbrook, a practicing attorney rather than an academic scholar, relies primarily on journalistic sources to make the points that Switzerland was prepared to abandon most of the country and fight to the last man from an Alpine redoubt. Among other questionable premises he accepts uncritically, he takes as given that militiamen armed primarily with bolt-action rifles and 50 rounds of ammunition constituted an effective fighting force in an age of mechanized war. His account, while written from a limited vantage point, nevertheless establishes a series of elements in danger of being submerged by the recent furor over bank accounts and trade figures. 16 pages of photos not seen by PW.
