Ordinary events in the author's American life such as the slicing of a stick of butter into small 'Little Yellow Squares', opened the floodgates of memories reflecting the 1945 American Army food distribution in Germany. Triggered by her Marine son saying 'farewell' due to the Iraq conflict in 1992, the emotional essay 'A Few Days Left' reflects the unimaginable agony of war as a daughter, a wife and as a mother by recalling her father's incarceration in a Nazi concentration camp, and her husband's tours of duty in Vietnam. A 2009 chance meeting with a 1948 Berlin Air Lift 'Raisin Bomber' crew member connected the dots of her life. This fact-filled, detailed account of cataclysmic events in world history including the duration and the fall of the Berlin Wall is a 'must read' for everyone interested in historical truth.

This is the system by which Prof. Carroll was able to "cure the most vicious horses of the habit of balking or kicking; also the habits of shying, running away, pulling at the halter, jumping fences or pitching under the saddle. It will enable anyone to ride any horse or mule without saddle or bridle with perfect safety; also to drive without bridle or lines."

Here's just a taste of what else you'll find inside:

• Revealed: the mechanical advantage whereby you can compel a horse to stop instantly at your command, with only a few pounds of pressure!
• How to gain the confidence of a horse so "as long as you are with him he feels no fear."
• How to manage a wild or vicious horse and even those that are quite old before they are first handled.
• How to cure a horse of jumping and fence breaking so thoroughly that he will happily stay in almost any kind of enclosure.
• Secret ways of "jockeying" a horse to make him appear to be other than what he is, eg. blind, lame, sick, unwilling eat or drink and how to remove a brand.

The sublimity of Muhammad's preachings in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevels the mind of the Musalmans.

When a bunch of apparently non-practicing Musalmans headed by Mohamed Atta launched that fifayeen attack on New York's World Trade Centre that Sep 11, the non-Muslim world, by then familiar with the ways of the Islamic terrorism, was at a loss to fathom the unthinkable source of that unexpected means of the new Islamist scourge.

This novel nonfiction probes the mind of the Musalmans, afflicted by the Islamic psyche shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life, attitudes of his detractors, and the credulity of the Umma, with Thomas A. Harris's 'I'm Ok - You're Ok' scanner, to sketch the anatomy of Islam that explains the Atta phenomenon.

Also examined herein is how the Hindu sanatana dharma came to survive in India that is in spite of the onslaught on it, first by Islam and then by the Christianity, for over a millennium.

 This is very heady stuff for history buffs to read what happened written by someone actually there. Her point of view is often politically incorrect and meant for just herself.
