The Book Buying Binge Continues Unabated
Fortunately, summer is nearly here and I will have time to whittle down the Antilibrary pile. Three More:
Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)
Zhou Enlai: The Last Perfect Revolutionary
The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order

The book on Zhou is supposed to be good.

Hi Lex,
.
I read a bit of it at dinner. It is good but "rough" in the sense that you are getting a lot of, new, inside information, from a defector type – valuable stuff – but it hasn’t been polished or put in the same (larger) context the way a professional historian would use the same material. Good companion book to Dallek, MacMillian, the Mao and Chiang bios etc.
