Patricia Nixon.

The book had attempted to describe the life, married and political profile of the wife of President Richard Nixon... It's a very rosy picture of Pat Nixon; and not a real portrait of her, mostly. She had been overly proud of herself for the early child's life where she had to become a mother-figure (in her youth for her brothers, and continued to be a stubborn, self-possessed, maybe too independent self-loving person all her life ! She actually never supported her husband's Political carrier nor cared or loved him wholeheartedly... She diminished his character, called him names and was quite ambitious even in Public ! I believe, Richard Nixon had chosen a wrong person to be his wife: He had to continually wow for her attention, to date and then-marry him, which showed his inability to be strong, manly and not so dependant on someone else's approval... But that had been the "fault" of his early upbringing where his parents neglected him emotionally considerably a young child and as a person, depriving him of their attention and love ! I've read another work about Richard Nixon and that book was much more real and substantial with a great inside into people's behavior and feelings. I also disprove of author's addressing The President's by name "Dick" instead of the appropriate, Richard or Rick (for short) I Nixon. It is distasteful and rude ! I do not recommend this work to anyone who truly is interested in knowing and understanding the character of Patty Nixon.

The War on Warriors.

It's a very angry report by a true wars' veteran and a decent family man: unfortunately, Mr. Hegseth had written the book when he was in rage: which is while totally understandable and justifiable, is not how it should be narrated ! It should be written in a reasonable calm and not when our emotions run overboard... I respect our war heroes and Mr. Pete Hegseth, especially, but we all have to respect the public for which we dedicate and write for print & publication .

Truths.

I have enjoyed listening to Live talk by author: Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy ! But the book is nothing like his speeches: it is about him being a lawyer and nothing else of needed substance. I do not recommend this book to anyone.

Taco USA:

Not helpful, at all. Just a pretty angry account of how Americans misrepresent naming and describing authentic Mexican foods, complaining and making fun of the rest of the America that genuinely love and crave their foods and dishes made with them. No Recipes, No photos of dishes included in this very old book' narrative !

Tweedy, Damon,

Facing the Unseen.

A very thorough and tough very timely account of the tremendous lack of federal government medical care for elderly patients and those who cannot afford Insurance plans that would cover Medical private care. Because these people either cannot work harder than they already do, or do not make enough money thru their jobs ! It is taking place now and the situation had taken place for many years.... Through both poor teaching skills and lack of ability and desire to allow new students the freedom and ability to learn from the Best in medicine ! Be it sending these young and not too young students to other countries in Europe and other to learn the right way and to be held accountable to Always " Honor and do not do harm" in caring for sick.... In both "general" medicine and in healing mentally ill patients, equally well.
