The Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam HusseinTo the dismay of many in the West, the Gulf War ended with Saddam Hussein still in control, still defiant, and more determined to use any means of striking back. How far did he go? And now that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has been vanquished and the al Quaeda network scattered, how far should the United States go in pursuit of its war on terrorism?

To the dismay of many in the West, the Gulf War ended with Saddam Hussein still in control, still defiant, and more determined to use any means of striking back. How far did he go? And now that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has been vanquished and the al Quaeda network scattered, how far should the United States go in pursuit of its war on terrorism? The central question posed in this book is whether a future Iraq without Saddam Hussein will be even more unstable and more problematical to the security of the United States. The Reckoning is an account of the forces historical, religious, ethnic, and political that produced Saddam's dictatorship. Forged after World War I from the Mesopotamian provinces of the collapsed Ottoman Empire, Iraq has never had a national identity or a sense of common purpose. Hussein, ruling by terror rather than by persuasion, pitted the various ethnic groups, religious interests, and tribes against one another and in so doing achieved the destruction of Iraq's middle class and civilized society. After he goes, however he goes, the country could be the site of conflict even more vicious than the Balkan wars. Now more than ever, the future of Iraq is of critical importance to America's dealings with the Muslim world, and Sandra Mackey's informed narrative gives us a new understanding of the politics and national character of the country."Binding Type: Paperback

enjoyable!
Format: Kindle
YA novel with a Romeo & Juliet twist. I have read Rebecca Serle adult novels and really enjoyed them ..saw this on my Kindle feed and thought “why not?” Never too old to read YA fiction! The author’s characters are always ring true …and story moves along quickly and brings chuckles, sadness, and enjoyable conclusions.

Once I started reading I had to finish with no interruptions!!! Amazing!!!
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's your typical high school story of growing up, falling in love, and losing your first love. I loved the dynamic of the Rosaline, Charlie, and Olivia's friendship and how the girls stuck together. Also I literally felt the heartache Rosaline felt when losing Rob to Juliet but also when she lost the both of them. I really wished what happened to the both of them didn't end that way but it's life. A lot of people lose someone important to them in high school. Len was really my favorite character and how he brought the best of Rosaline out was so heartwarming. Len is the guy you always root for! Even though the ending was heart wrenching and bittersweet I would recommend this book to anyone. I cried, I laughed, and I felt every emotion Rosaline felt! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. Perfect from the beginning to the end! Especially the way Rosaline went to the cliff and found Len there!!!

Smells amazing, lathers on nice. Pairs well with the lotion I use when I get out the shower. Definitely feel clean and fresh after using this body wash.
