Shakespeare’s Letters

Attribution
Alan Stewart
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2008

Vietnam : The History Of An Unwinnable War, 1945-1975

Attribution
John Prados
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2009
Description
Prados patiently pieces back together the events and moments, from the end of World War II until our dispiriting departure from Vietnam in 1975, that reveal a war that now appears to have been truly unwinnable–due to opportunities lost, missed, ignored, or refused. By turns engaging narrative history, compelling analytic treatise, and moving personal account, Prados’s magnum opus challenges previous authors and should rightfully take its place as the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate one-volume account of a war that–judging by the frequent analogies to the current war in Iraq–has not yet really ended for any of us.

Welcome to Kittur, India. And if the characters in Between the Assassinations are any indication, Kittur is an extraordinary crossroads of the brightest minds and the poorest morals, the up-and-coming and the downtrodden, and the poets and the prophets of an India that modern literature has rarely addressed. A blinding, brilliant, and brave mosaic of Indian life as it is lived in a place called Kittur, Between the Assassinations, with all the humor, sympathy, and unflinching candor of The White Tiger, enlarges our understanding of the world we live in today.
