  8. On Jan 30 2017 Tom Copeland (USCG) read In the Land of Magic Soldiers: A Story of White and Black in West Africa by Daniel Bergner and commented:

    A brutal book and a rough read. My Dad spent two years in Sierre Leone with the Peace Corps back in the 60s so I grew up seeing pictures from the Bo district. If he were still alive I think he would have been interested and saddened by this one.

  9. On Jan 21 2017 Tom Copeland (USCG) read Sahara Unveiled: A Journey Across the Desert by William Langewiesche and commented:

    A poetic book about a difficult area. Seems like it was painful for him to write the part where he gets used to help smuggle some weapons.

  10. On Jan 18 2017 Tom Copeland (USCG) read Brave New War: The Next Stage of Terrorism and the End of Globalization by John Robb and commented:

    Some bold predictions about the end of nation state-level conflict. I think he foresaw some of the terrorist attacks we've seen in the past 5-6 years, although perhaps he would have predicted even larger ones.

  14. On Jan 05 2017 Tom Copeland (USCG) read War Trash by Ha Jin and commented:

    I hadn't realized this was fiction until I got to the end. Hard to know how realistic it is, although it sure had me fooled.

  15. On Dec 31 2016 Tom Copeland (USCG) read Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China by Ezra F. Vogel and commented:

    Fills in the transition from Mao to the modern era nicely. He certainly brought China a long way in 15 years.
