Today is June 17. Dr. Joseph Warren was killed at the Battle of Bunker(Breed's) Hill on this date in 1775. The St. Louis Post Dispatch had a review of this book in yesterday's edition. Looks like a good read:

Read the book it is a superior history, even points out a few of Fishers errors.

Evidently there is also a motion picture in the works based on the book...let's hope they do it right.
Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

"Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted." - George Rogers Clark
