Kiss Me While I Sleep (Howard, Linda) ReviewIn "Kiss Me While I Sleep," Linda Howard has returned to the world of John Medina and Niemi Burdock, the world of covert intelligence operations and contract killers. She has also returned to the theme she explored in "Cry No More," the trauma of a parent who has lost a child.
Lily Mansfield is a contract killer for the CIA, 37 years old, with 19 years of experience. She is also a grieving parent whose 13-year-old, adopted daughter has recently been killed, along with her foster parents who were Lily's best friends. Lily has set out to kill the man who ordered the hit on Zia and her foster parents, and to wreck as much havoc as she can on his organization. She is doing this without the CIA's sanction; in fact, they have sent one of their top agents, Lucas Swain, to stop her.
Sound grim? It isn't. Lucas Swain is not only an alpha hunk, he is also one funny guy. I found myself chuckling at Swain's opinions and actions, whether it was his thoughts on "chick food" or his views on Fiats. (He hates 'em.) The man went through more cars than Stephanie Plum.
If "Cry No More" had a fairly straightforward plot, that must have been because Howard was saving all her twists and turns for "Kiss Me While I Sleep." Just when you think you understand all Lily's and Swain's schemes and counter-schemes, Howard gives the plot a twist, and you realize you've been led down the garden path. Again.
All in all, a delightful read with a sexy hero and heroine, a serious examination of a parent's grief, and a plot that will have your head spinning. Highly recommended.Kiss Me While I Sleep (Howard, Linda) Overview

The Narcissism of Minor Differences: How America and Europe Are Alike ReviewMost politically-enagaged Americans already think they know about Europe; either it's a decadent and pusillanimous continent that should serve as a warning or a more civilized and socially-cohesive place that America should aspire to emulate. Baldwin challenges these lazy assumptions with a mountain of objective data that show America tends to fall within the European range in a host of quantifiable respects. While not denying that the United States is distinct in a number of ways, the author shows convincingly that the differences between the US and "Europe" is often less pronounced than the differences between individual European countries. Perhaps the most valuable implicit lesson in the book is that "Europe" as a concept is extremely nebulous and not particularly valuable for comparisons. Baldwin's book is a quick read and though I sometime found the statistics a bit dry, his constant resort to quantifiable data keeps the thrust of the argument from becoming too subjective. I wish he would follow up his work here with a more opinionated sequel, but perhaps that would detract from the modest, objective qualities of this book. A gem.The Narcissism of Minor Differences: How America and Europe Are Alike Overview

Death Orders: The Vanguard of Modern Terrorism in Revolutionary Russia (Praeger Security International) ReviewNobody. I mean NOBODY touches this woman's work on terrorism!
Aside from the entire book's being extraordinarily well developed, chapter 7 details the systemic or socio-cultural hysterical intellectual response to trauma created by terrorism better than any writer to date that I've had the good fortune to read. I have been a researcher, writer and manager in the field of trauma for thirty-five years. Death Orders is an interpretive must for those considering themselves terrorism experts, or better yet leaders and other managers of consensually run populations.
Magnificent scholarly work that throws the widest intellectual loop around the thoughts, mind constructs, ideologies, factual histories, epistemologies and methodologies of the predator class! Thanks, Dr. Geifman, for giving it to us.
