A Work of Fiction by a Coward
I served with Mr. Whitmore in Viet Nam.He was only in the field a month and tried to "slide" and get out of duty.He is simply a coward and made up a fictious life to justify his desertion and collaboration with the enemy.You would be better served by donating the money you might spend on this book to your favorite charity.

A classic story about the American experience in Vietnam
This is a very well written and engrossing story of a man who was wounded in action in Vietnamand after recuperating in a hospital in Japan decided to opt out before he was sent back into combat.He found his way from Japan through Russia to Sweden where he received asylum. The story is about what it was like to be a black soldier from the south caught up in the war, and what it was like to end up in a country which was as passionately against the war as any place in the west. It is a worthy addition to the literature about the American experience in Vietnam.

Why is this book so expensive?
I found this book too expensive. How is it possible that average book could be worth so much? Any explanation? ... Read more

This man, this glorious man...
Writing in 'Clothes Show' magazine in 1995, journalist Sylvia Patterson memorably declared: "Marcus Schenkenberg is so good-looking it is, frankly, preposterous. He's a cartoon fantasy man...his chest is a two-seater sofa!" It isn't simply that Marcus is so completely, breathtakingly beautiful - that much should be obvious to anyone who's ever seen his image in print, on film, on the Web, or even in the flesh - it's also because his inevitable success as 'the first male supermodel' prompted a renewed interest in men's clothing and hygiene at a time when the fashion industry seemed oblivious to this gaping hole in the market, and because he paved the way for an entirely new breed of celebrated male models, including Michael Bergin and the awesome Tyson Beckford, amongst others. Hence the title of this archetypal 'coffee table' book, "Marcus Schenkenberg New Rules" (1997), an uncredited collection of essays, interviews and observations from some of fashion's top-rank glitterati - Gianni Versace, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, et al - copyrighted by Universe Publishing, Marcus Schenkenberg himself, and Boss Models. The Best
This book is a must for all fans of Marcus Schenkenberg. He is so indcredibly good looking. I love his look, his body. He is great. And all the pictures inside are great, too. I hope there will be a second one. Hopefully, soon.

"Marcus Schenkenberg is a Maverick for Male Supermodels"
This book is a very beautiful book of photography.It's subject does not ask for the camera's attention, He demands it.I have a book collection on all type's of photography from 1930's to 2001, "This is one of my favorite." ... Read more

Christina, Queen of Sweden
I am doing my undergraduate research on this woman, and I found this book to be extremely helpful.I loved reading every word and I couldn't put it down.The more I learned about this fantastic, bizarre woman in history, the more I wanted to know.Extensively researched with all of the major texts (as far as I can tell), its most definately an entertaining and informative book.Kudos to this first-time author! ...

A Sucess At Its Greatest
Linnaeus was generous since he taught what he knew. He invented many theories and wrote books about them. lots of "Linnaeus knowers" consider him vain because he wrote four autobiographies on himself. He always injoyed plants ever since he father became important and gave him his garden. One thing about Carl that I thought was remarkable and interesting was he did many things for others. I think it's incredible that Linnaeus did what he pleased.
