Book Reviews of Fugitive Days: A Memoir
Book Review: A Conservative Says Thanks...
Summary: 1 Stars
For a political conservative like myself, there is no better propaganda than people like Billy Ayers. An unrepentant terrorist who spent much of the late 1960s and early 1970s planting bombs around the country attempts to explain how the Vietnam War made him do it. As a teacher of college undergraduates, I find this work invaluable as a depiction of an important (if often whitewashed) face of the New Left. (My low rating is based on an estimate of the intrinsic worth of the book; its social/political utility is far greater.)Book Review: Don't waste your hard earned money.
Summary: 1 Stars
There's only one thing worse than a spoiled little boy who is constantly indulged and never made to mind. Ayers knows that the United States of America is the only nation on the planet where he would be allowed to boast and profit from his crimes. You know, guys like him make me proud of this country. Proud that we are so great that we can allow those of his ilk to freely speak their mind. But if I were you, I wouldn't pay a single, solitary sou for the right to read Mr. Ayers' childish rant.Book Review: A first cousin of bin Laden
Summary: 1 Stars
Ayers is a self-described terrorist who carefully avoids the use of that word in his puerile memoirs. But make no mistake- he is closely related to bin Laden and all other terrorists in history who use violence to advance political positions. While he may bristle at the use of the terrorist label now, Ayers is proud of his use of bombs and violence in the book.It would be a shame to give this terrorist money through royalties from sales of this piece of garbage and self-justifying trash.
Book Review: Let's send Bill back underground
Summary: 1 Stars
There's a certain fascination to this book, but its not the one that the posturing ninny who wrote it was aiming at. Ayers is a moral idiot, incapable of shame or embarrassment. He says here that he has no regrets about planting bombs, and that he cannot rule out the possibility that he will do so again. Here's a fun question to think about: do we, as Ayers' potential victims, have the right to make a pre-emptive strike against him?Book Review: A Huge Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I found the writing self-righteous and sensationalistic. Really a disappointing waste of time. I thought I'd find something worth gleening by reading his experience...but in the light of what has happened in the US of late, I found this book distastful. I bought this book at my local bookstore and am returning it post haste!!! Don't waste your money!
