    <![CDATA[Having previously dissected the factual inaccuracies of a single bellicose talk show host in  <em>Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot</em>, Al Franken takes his fight to a larger foe: President George W. Bush, the Bush Administration, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and scores of other conservatives whom, he says, are playing loose with the facts. It's a lot of ground to cover, as evidenced by the 43 chapters in <em>Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them</em>, but the results are often entertaining and insightful. Franken occupies a unique place in the modern political dialogue as perhaps the media's only comedy writer and performer who is also a Harvard fellow as well as a liberal political commentator. This unique and vaguely lonely position lends a charming quixotic quality to adventures such as a tense encounter with the Fox News staff at the National Press Club, a challenge to fisticuffs with National Review Editor Rich Lowry, and an oddly sweet admissions visit to ultra-conservative Bob Jones University (with a young research assistant posing as his son when Franken's real-life son refuses to participate in the charade). Less useful are comic book dramatizations of &quot;Supply Side Jesus&quot; and a fictitious Vietnam War story featuring the numerous righties who, Franken intimates, improperly avoided service. And Franken's criticisms of conservative talk show hosts Sean Hannity, O'Reilly, and columnist Coulter, while admirable in their attention to detail, fail to shed much new light on people who have built careers on broad arguments and relentless self-aggrandizement. But Franken is at his best, and most compellingly readable, when he backs off the wackiness and the personal grudges and writes about more personal matters such as the political circus surrounding the memorial service of the late Senator Paul Wellstone. But even on these more serious topics, Franken's wit is still present and, in fact, grows sharper. In a time when much political discourse is composed of rage and shouting, it's refreshing that Al Franken is able to shout in a witty manner. <em>--John Moe</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[John Perkins started and stopped writing <em>Confessions of an Economic Hit Man</em> four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this expose of his former professional life. Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an &quot;economic hit man&quot; for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. &quot;Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars,&quot; Perkins writes. <em>Confessions of an Economic Hit Man</em> is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations. Think John Le Carré, except it's a true story.<p>  Perkins writes that his economic projections cooked the books Enron-style to convince foreign governments to accept billions of dollars of loans from the World Bank and other institutions to build dams, airports, electric grids, and other infrastructure he knew they couldn't afford. The loans were given on condition that construction and engineering contracts went to U.S. companies. Often, the money would simply be transferred from one bank account in Washington, D.C., to another one in New York or San Francisco. The deals were smoothed over with bribes for foreign officials, but it was the taxpayers in the foreign countries who had to pay back the loans. When their governments couldn't do so, as was often the case, the U.S. or its henchmen at the World Bank or International Monetary Fund would step in and essentially place the country in trusteeship, dictating everything from its spending budget to security agreements and even its United Nations votes. It was, Perkins writes, a clever way for the U.S. to expand its &quot;empire&quot; at the expense of Third World citizens. While at times he seems a little overly focused on conspiracies, perhaps that's not surprising considering the life he's led. <em>--Alex Roslin</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Suketu Mehta legt mit <em>Bombay</em> ein grandioses Buch über seine Geburtsstadt und deren Menschen vor und führt uns eindrucksvoll vor Augen, dass Mumbai, wie Bombay seit 1995 offiziell heißt, in jeder Hinsicht wirklich eine, nein: die „Maximum City“ ist, als die er sie im (Original- bzw. Unter-)Titel seiner literarische Reportage völlig zu recht bezeichnet.<p>  Schätzungen zufolge leben in dem von seiner gesamten Infrastruktur her auf etwa dreieinhalb Millionen Einwohner ausgelegten Bombay etwa 18 Millionen Menschen. Mindestens die Hälfte davon in windigen, illegal errichteten Behausungen unmittelbar an Bahnlinien, Kanälen und selbst in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens. Nicht nur der Verkehr in die Stadt hinein und aus der Stadt heraus übersteigt bei weitem alles, was man ansonsten aus den Metropolen der Welt an Chaos gewöhnt ist: Nirgendwo in der Welt werden auch nur annähernd so viele Menschen in so vielen und so überfüllten Zügen in so kurzen Intervallen transportiert, wie in Bombay. In diesem auf den ersten Blick völlig undurchdringbar erscheinenden Dschungel hat Mehta Pfade gefunden, auf denen er sich und seine Lesern durch eine Mega-Stadt führt, in der auch die Gegensätze von Arm und Reich, Schön und Hässlich, Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, Aufbruch und Niedergang in völlig zufällig erscheinenden Nachbarschaften sehr viel dichter beieinander liegen als in jeder anderen beliebigen Stadt der Welt.<p>  Mehta hat den Band in drei Teile gegliedert, in denen er uns zeigt, welche besonderen Spielregeln der „Macht“ in Bombay herrschen, welche maximale Rolle das „Vergnügen“ hier spielt und was auf seinen „Passagen“ sonst noch so über die Stadt seiner Kindheit und auch über sich selbst so erfahren hat. -- Maximale Leseempfehlung! -- <em>Andreas Vierecke</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>This remarkably ambitious book tells the story of the great social and political catastrophe that enveloped Europe between 1914 and 1945. In a period of almost continuous upheaval, society was transformed by two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust, and the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Combining a powerful narrative with profound analysis, acclaimed historian Robert Gellately argues that these tragedies are inextricably linked and that to consider them as discrete events is to misunderstand their genesis and character. Central to the catastrophe, of course, were Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, and this book makes use of recently opened Russian and German sources to explain how these dictators&#8217; pursuit of utopian&#8212;and dreadfully flawed&#8212;ideals led only to dystopian nightmare. <br/><br/>In a groundbreaking work, Gellately makes clear that most comparative studies of the Soviet and Nazi dictatorships are undermined by neglecting the key importance of Lenin in the unfolding drama. Rejecting the myth of the &#8220;good&#8221; Lenin, the book provides a convincing social-historical account of all three dictatorships and carefully documents their similarities and differences. It traces the escalation of conflicts between Communism and Nazism, and particularly of the role of Hitler&#8217;s anathema against what he called &#8220;Jewish Bolshevism.&#8221; The book shows how the vicious rivalry between Stalin and Hitler led inescapably to a war of annihilation and genocide. The reverberations of this gargantuan struggle are felt everywhere to this day.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ War aber auch höchste Zeit! Dies sieht auch ein begeisterter Amazon-Kunde so. Nachdem für ihn <em>The Beatles Anthology</em> schon schlichtweg &quot;der Hammer&quot; war, dürfte ihn dieses längst überfällige Gegenstück der Rolling Stones endgültig zum glücklichen Menschen machen. Eine unglaubliche, 40-jährige Bandkarriere findet ihren würdigen Ausdruck in einem mehr als opulenten Bildband. Nur eine weitere Bildbiografie? Weit gefehlt! Die Stones selbst sind es, die in ihren eigenen Worten zurückblicken!<p>  Dora Loewenstein, die Tochter des Stones-Managers, sowie der Musikjournalist und Stones-Fachmann Philip Dodd, haben die &quot;Größte Rock'n'Roll-Band der Welt&quot; auf ihrer Forty Licks-Jubiläumstour rund um den Globus begleitet und belauscht. Das eigenwillige Erinnerungsprotokoll, das dabei entstand, ist weit spannender als jede penible Biografie es sein könnte. Streiflichtartig liefern Mick, Keith, Charlie und Ronnie eigenwillige Stimmungsbilder aus sämtlichen Schaffensperioden.<p>  Reisebeginn sind die rauchgeschwängerten Clubs im Westen Londons, in denen zu Anfang der 60er-Jahre Bands wie die Yardbirds, Alexis Korner und eben die Rolling Stones, den Rhythm &amp; Blues neu definierten. Mick, Keith und Charlie durchleben noch einmal den tragischen Tod ihres Ur-Mitglieds Brian Jones, der sich der Band (drogenbedingt) zusehends entfremdete, von Keith Richards in gewohnt ruppigem Idiom (&quot;keiner verlässt diese Band lebend&quot;) trocken kommentiert. Es waren die ersten zehn Jahre, die den Kultstatus der Band begründeten und Epoche machende Alben wie <em>Beggars Banquet</em>, <em>Let It Bleed</em> und <em>Sticky Fingers</em>, die noch einmal anklingen.<p>    Neben der musikalischen Seite, dem Tourstress und dem Prozedere des Songwriting, ist es die fragile, hoch explosive Hassliebe des Kreativmotors der Band, Jagger und Richards, die für die aufschlussreichsten Passagen des Buches sorgt. Ausgerechnet aus dem Munde des ewigen &quot;Lehrlings&quot; Ronnie Wood (immerhin seit Mick Taylors Weggang von 1975 vollwertiges Bandmitglied), erstaunt es, zu erfahren, dass er die Band mehr als einmal vor dem Split bewahrte.<p>   Das satt bebilderte und süchtig machende Werk wird begleitet von Essays solcher Zeitgenossen wie Ahmet Ertegun, dem legendären Gründer von Atlantic Records, dem Fotografen David Bailey, wie auch dem Superproduzenten Don Was und Sheryl Crow, die den Stones-Sound in ihrem eigenen Werk hemmungslos auslebt. Am Ende des Riesenbuches angelangt, kann man sich nicht mehr vorstellen, dass es eine Welt ohne die Stones geben kann. <em>--Ravi Unger</em></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Unvergessen die Sache mit dem Einparken und dem nicht zuhören können! Nun der köstliche „Survival-Guide“ für Weihnachten, damit nervlich, partnerschaftlich und familiär an den Festtagen nichts schief gehen kann. Zwei Profis in Sachen Kommunikation zwischen den Geschlechtern geben mit ausgesprochen viel Augenzwinkern und Toleranz ein humorvolles und vergnügliches Vorbild.<p> Männer kaufen auf die letzte Sekunde Weihnachtsgeschenke, meist etwas Nützliches, „was ihrer Meinung nach ein Problem löst oder in irgendeiner Weise nützlich ist.“ Das Einpacken von Geschenken ist „eine völlig sinnlose Arbeit“ für sie und wenn ein Mann unter Weihnachtsstress gerät, „schließt er sich wie eine Auster und gibt keinen Ton mehr von sich.“  Frauen hingegen haben den Stress besser im Griff mit Reden, dann wird „ihre Sprachfunktion“ aktiviert, oder einem gelegentlichen Tränenausbruch. „Frauen bauen Stress ab, indem sie immer wieder über ihre Probleme reden, vorwärts und rückwärts und unter jedem Blickwinkel.“<p> Ein herrliches Buch nicht nur zur Weihnachtszeit, aber extrem passend dafür! Kurze Kapitel mit Wahrheiten, die uns ja so bekannt vorkommen, endlich spricht es jemand aus, dabei noch so verzeihend und vergebend. Haben wir denn nicht alle Fehler? Weisheiten und Wahrheiten, Umfragen und Untersuchungen, verpackt in liebevolle, knackige und nicht selten komische Sätze und Situationen. Fallschilderungen und Situationsanalysen halten uns den Spiegel vor, freundschaftlich gemeinte Ratschläge sind durchaus zum Annehmen geeignet. „Beim Lebensmitteleinkauf sollte immer der Mann den Einkaufswagen schieben. Männer haben gern alles unter Kontrolle...Dabei können sie ihr räumliches Denken ein setzen.“ oder „Setzen sie einen nervösen Gast mit dem Rücken zur Wand- das hilft ihm, sich zu entspannen“.  Zwei Dinge sollten Paare, die Weihnachten genießen wollen auf keinen Fall vergessen, zum einen ist Sex gut gegen den Weihnachtskater und vor allem sollte die Frage an die liebe Verwandtschaft geklärt werden: „Was hast du gesagt, wie lange wolltest du bleiben?“<em>--Barbara Wegmann</em></p></p>]]>
