From Booklist At least in public perception, war produces heroes and knaves, geniuses and fools. --Jay Freeman . Still, his portrayals of these commanders on the American side are insightful and often brutally frank. Fitz-Enz is an army veteran with 30 years of service, and he is a regular contributor to television documentaries on military topics. He pays tribute to well-known icons, especially Andrew Jackson and his conduct at the famed Battle of New Orleans. Fitz-Enz reserves most of his vitriol for those who owed their military appointments to their political connections. The War of 1812 produced a hefty supply of each. Here he views the war through a biographical prism, which leads to a confusing narrative structure

Often confused by advisors of little military talent, in the end he put his trust, and that of the people, in the grasp of hacks, sycophants, adventurers, and a few good men. While President James Madison was a brilliant scholar, author of much of this country's early documents, organizer of the executive branch of government, and an astute politician, he was no commander-in-chief. This is the story of the good, the bad, and the outrageous that held the future of the young nation in their hands and prevailed in spite of a twenty-one-ship navy and an amateur army, pitched at the greatest military machine of its time.. He relied totally upon appointed commodores and generals to conduct a war for the conquest of Canada on one hand and survival on the other

He served two tours in Vietnam, one as a combat photographer and another as a paratrooper and aviator. Colonel David Fitz-Enz, USA ret., served as a regular army officer for thirty years. He lives near Lake Placid, New York.

. He is the author of Old Ironsides: Eagle of the Sea; Redcoats Revenge; and Why a Soldier?

Starting with the proscription against the Golden Calf and the Hebraic and Islamic laws against the 'graven image," Besancon tracks the history of this debate through Greek and Roman culture, the various phases of early and medieval Christianity, including the ways in with the Eastern and Roman Catholic churches have dealt differently with the problem. Sonny Boy Williamson's "Been So Long" is one of the greatest blues records ever, and Elmore's "Dust My Broom" is a bona fide classic of the genre. This is a great series. I have found this book accurate and most useful. This is showcased especially well through the eyes of her personal slave, Nepthys when the book changes points of view. These three types of initiation have a great deal in common and all might be regarded as varieties of a single class, yet what distinguishes them from one another is the third category that is singled out by the quest or spontaneous election that produces dreams, visions, and especially ecstasy (3). Oh my goodness Please do not listen to the other people who "couldnt like it" for whatever reasons, especially with the excuse of it doesnt teach you the" right way" to pray. I am already stocking this book, I think it is excellent and I recommend it highly for my underwater photography classes. It doesn't dive deeply into the inner workings and various system stored procedures, views, and tables that maintain replication on a SQL server, no
