January / February
1. Federick J. Sheehan
Panderer To Power
(FF: In 2007/2008, the Global Financial Tsunami almost collapsed the global financial system. We have yet to recover from that turmoil. The 2nd wave of financial destruction is about to begin. While many writers have pin-pointed the key global banks as the culprits, headed by Goldman Sachs, few have dared identify specific individuals responsible for the financial fiasco. Mr. Sheehan’s immaculate research have established an iron-clad case that Alan Greenspan was one of the key players that nurtured and promoted the various scams that have destroyed the livelihood of millions across the globe.
The mass media promoted Alan Greenspan as a financial genius, but this remarkable book tells a different story. In simple language, Alan Greenspan has been exposed as a scam artist, manipulator, charlatan and as the title of the book suggest, a panderer to power. Bernanke is following Alan Greenspan’s footsteps and we hope that Mr Sheehan will also expose this latter day panderer to power. This is a must read, and will be a classic.
Please read also Greenspan Bubbles which the above author co-wrote with William A. Fleckenstein which was reviewed in 2008. See archives.
2. Jocelyn Hurndall
Defy The Stars
(FF: Having just got back from Gaza and experienced first hand the devastation and cruelty suffered by the Palestinians at the hands of Israel’s war criminals, reading the story of a 21-year old student shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while trying to help a Palestinian child and died nine months later, aroused extreme anger in me. Tom Hurndall was unarmed, yet he was gunned down mercilessly.
The war criminals denied the crime, but the persistent efforts for justice by Tom’s Mother, the author, ensured that Tom did not die in vain. Finally, Israel admitted its culpability. This is a story of the courage of a young man making the ultimate sacrifice, a family’s determination to see that justice is done and the brutality of the Israeli regime. A story told with dignity and compassion. It is also a story about the Palestinians in Gaza, of all the mothers who have lost their sons in sixty years of occupation. Be prepared to stay up all night when you pick up this book.
