4 comments about "Every Man Should Try": Adventures of a Public Interest Activist.
- Fascinnating read. Reviews not only the history of nuclear disarmament but chronicles the ups and downs of working with entrenched interests. The basic message, however, is that if one can persist as Jeremy Stone has done, one can succeed.
- I enjoyed the book it was balanced with both successes and failures and for those interested in the NGO arena, the book provided some keen insights into what goes on behing the curtain in order to get things done. I enjoyed it, of course like all bios it needs to be taken with a litlle salt.
- I truly enjoyed the book, good writing
- Jeremy Stone seems to have gotten involved, Zelig-like, in almost every major issue of arms control, national security, or global conflict over the last several decades. He crossed paths with everyone from Albert Einstein to Henry Kissinger to Mikhail Gorbachev to Carl Sagan. His "adventures" include some remarkable successes-- like singlehandedly stopping the CIA's practice of opening U.S. mail sent abroad-- as well as some clear failures. His accounts of these episodes, which are leavened by humor and self-criticism, left this reader breathless and inspired. This is an amazing book about an extraordinary life spent trying to "change the world."

1 comments about R.D. Laing: A Biography.
- a most enjoyable, penetrating look into the mind of a genius. We see the beauty of Laing's thought and his amazing contributions to the field of mental health. We are treated to a thorough character assessment and loving, if at times probing, analysis of what Laing was all about.
This work is written in a conversational but educated tone that lends itself nicely to the subject matter. Highly recommended if you have not read all the others.
