Mr. Spangler talks about the structure of the funds, the operations of both private equity and hedge funds, as well as their role in the 2008 financial crisis
Mr. Sjursen also shares his own personal views about the war, professional soldering, the ugly business of managing an occupation and the even uglier politics of inserting yourself in the middle of a sectarian civil war.
The book is straight forward and presents the information in small, easy to swallow chunks
Nellie Bly is the pen name of Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, an accomplished journalist, inventor and adventurer.
I truly enjoyed this book and the linked stories that go along with it.
This novel is an exciting, fast paced page turner with many themes
This book should be read by anyone who is interested in military history or is aspiring to leading troops.
Mr. Oren presents the history from the point of view of politicians, not the soldiers on the ground. He doesn’t deal much with military tactics but more with high level decisions and diplomatic chess games.
The author keeps the reader guessing about the real motives of all the characters involved. As is in life, there is not black and white, but only shades of gray. Even the “good guys” have their own dark motivation.
Each graphic takes up two pages and shows one subject (solar eclipse, tallest mountains, biggest lakes and more).
