Allen Ginsberg

Harper & Row, 1986

Poets see hell through the eyes of angels
I reread this little book before attempting to review it. I remembered that it was a mad mantra of transcendent power from the heart of hell, but I didn't remember how nondated it was. This work is fresher and more relevant than 99% of what passes for poetry today. How ...

Encyclopedia of Indian Wars: Western Battles and Skirmishes 1850-1890

Gregory F. Michno

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2003

An interesting read that's also a reference worth keeping
Many books call themselves an encyclopedia of this or that but turn out to be simply random collections of information on their topic. However, Gregory Michno's Encyclopedia of Indian Wars: Western Battles and Skirmishes, 1850-1890 really is a miniature encyclopedia ...

Sharpe's Skirmish: Short Short (Richard Sharpe Adventure Series)

Bernard Cornwell

Sharpe Appreciation Society, 2002

A Great Series
This is another entry on the Sharpe series. It is fun, entertaining and very readable. Cornwell's research is as excellent as usual. He takes some licenses for the shake of the story and continuity, but this is OK. Some people are outraged by the portrait of some of ...

Skirmish: The Great Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak

Clifford D. Simak

Berkley Publishing Corporation, 1978

One of the best short-story writers in Speculative Fiction!
The Big Front Yard is the best (in my subjective opinion) SF short story ever! Skirmish is way up there, too! Mr. Simak is a great writer and describer of human idiosyncracies. He represents an alternative to "in-your-face" factoid reporting, to the less-than-subtle ...

Small Wars and Skirmishes: 1902-1918

Edwin Herbert

Foundry, 2003

small wars and skirmishes, 1902-1918
This is a wonderful book covering an interesting,if neglected period. The writing is well done and evenhanded. Most works on the "colonial wars" cover the era from about 1879 to 1902, and are anglo-centric. If the sources are not in english, or don't feature the ...
