                                      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book Addressing Personalized Dog Ownership/Relationship.......2006-03-27

                                      I found this book to be very informative and stimulating. For someone who is looking for some professional to give them a cut and dry answer to their prospective dog relationship questions this is not the right book. For someone who is interested in the mechanics and development of a highly unique (and ultimately rewarding) interpersonal relationship with a member of another species then this is the book you want. Just like people, cultures, and snowflakes, dogs are just as special and unique as individuals and breeds. This book is designed as more of a workbook or troubleshooting guide with a dash of dry humor and executed with the author's adroit writing style. If you are interested in all the different breeds get The Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World. If you are interested in developing a health well informed relationship with your specific dog (and learn a few things about yourself along the way) get this book.

                                      2 out of 5 stars Great concept, bad execution........2004-09-30

                                      I am currently looking for my next dog and came across this book at the library. The idea sounded promising but I was very disappointed. There are too many checklists and questions without real guidance (a questionnaire at the end of each chapter would have been better) and they are alternating with more examples than I care to know of how the sample humans deal with their dog situation. I started skipping from chapter to chapter, hoping to find some real revelations somewhere especially since each chapter sounded promising but in the end I was utterly confused and certainly did not gain any new insights. I give the book two stars for the idea that is behind its contents, but the execution is poor.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Fascinating!.......2002-06-13

                                      I read it all night! This book explains with real-life cases. I recommend it to anyone with a love for dogs.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Future Dog Owners.......2002-03-05

                                      As a professional dog trainer, DogSmart, by Myrna Milani, is a book I recommend to all my students. Hopefully people will read it before buying a dog, but better late than never. This book is full of great recommendations on what to ask yourself before you commit to a lifetime relationship with your canine partner.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2001-05-11

                                      This is one of the best books I've ever read! Easy to understand, but she doesn't treat the reader like an idiot, either. Definitely not one of those 'you do it this way, and any other way is wrong' books. Also very interesting reading, and not so dry you put it down after three paragraphs.

                                                    This book has good plans of the best gardens in Suzhou. It also includes a brief history and commentary on each garden. However,the photography is strictly amateur. Poor adjustment to lighting conditions; poor composition; inadequate clarity (some photos are blurred). If a professional photographer had taken the photos, this could have been a great book.

                                                                    Among the more sensational espionage cases of the Cold War were those of Moscow’s three British spies—Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, and Guy Burgess. In this riveting book, S. J. Hamrick draws on documentary evidence concealed for almost half a century in reconstructing the complex series of 1947–1951 events that led British intelligence to identify all three as Soviet agents.



                                                                    Basing his argument primarily on the Venona archive of broken Soviet codes released in 1995–1996 as well as on complementary Moscow and London sources, Hamrick refutes the myth of MI5’s identification of Maclean as a Soviet agent in the spring of 1951. British intelligence knew far earlier that Maclean was Moscow’s agent and concealed that knowledge in a 1949–1951 counterespionage operation that deceived Philby and Burgess. Hamrick also introduces compelling evidence of a 1949–1950 British disinformation initiative using Philby to mislead Moscow on Anglo-American retaliatory military capability in the event of Soviet aggression in Western Europe.



                                                                    Engagingly written and impressively documented, Deceiving the Deceivers breaks new ground in reinterpreting the final espionage years of three infamous spies and in clarifying fifty years of conjecture, confusion, and error in Anglo-American intelligence history.

                                                                    First off, I would have to agree with a couple of the other reviewers. This book was not very well organised. On the whole, I thought the author might have made a more convincing case if he had organised his material in a more stream-lined manner, and not keep being diverted by a thread of discussion, shooting off to tangent that did not seem to ever come back to the main discussion.

                                                                    However, I must also say that the author made a rather compelling case. On closer examination, there does seem to be many curious and inexplicable aspects of the careers of the Cambridge spy rings. Not least of which was the fact that Kim Philby seemed to have been promoted at least twice to senior positions, despite not having done much to prove himself, not having run field operations or even having successfully pulled off any intelligence coup. This was often explained half-heartedly as being because of the 'old boys network' or the 'old school tie', yet a gaping hole remains, particularly if we consider that Philby was in fairly minor jobs in MI6 before his sudden elevation in 1944, just after VENONA produced results.

                                                                    The other inexplicable part of the Philby story was his tenure as MI6 liaison to the CIA in 1948. Yet, in spite of minor successes, the Soviets remained remarkably ill-informed about truly important strategic issues that Philby ought to have been in a position to inform them about. Of particular importance was the number of atomic bombs the US actually had and the deployment of B-29 to the UK. Of equal importance was the anticipated response of the west to the Berlin Blockade. To put it simply, the Soviets miscalculated on those issues.

                                                                    A third inexplicable part of the story was how Burgess and Maclean in 1951, and then Philby in 1963 managed to slip the close survillance of MI5 and other intelligence services, in spite of the proven track record of those agencies. The net just suddenly seemed to open to allow the spies to escape. Again, this had never been satisfactorily explained.

                                                                    The author's theory at least had the advantage of giving explanation to these inexplicable episodes within a single framework.

                                                                    And if his account was true, it certainly would not have been unprecedented. The British, after all, ran one of the most sophisticated deception operation during WW2 in Operation Fortitude. And recent information had surfaced that the British intelligence services were not above sacrificing Dutch agents to deceive the German intellingece services in 'the English Game'.

                                                                    An operation as described by the author would be completely in character and within the proven competence of the British intelligence services.

                                                                    And as another reviewer had said, even if it were not true, it's a jolly good yarn!:)

                                                                    4 out of 5 stars A shapeless mess, but sweeps all before it.......2007-04-28

                                                                    Good material and critical thinking, poorly arranged. The author has one basic point, which he reiterates in each chapter as either conclusion or thesis (sometimes both). And that point is, the British security services succeeded brilliantly for a half-century in misleading the public about the Burgess-Maclean-Philby case. To break it down to its most salient arguments:

                                                                    1) Burgess and Maclean did not "jump" when they took that night boat to St-Malo in May 1951. They were "pushed"--by MI5. MI5 had been watching them for years, playing with Maclean as a cat plays with a mouse, delaying overt investigation while gradually inciting a sense of panic throughout the spy ring.

                                                                    2) Kim Philby was neither head boy nor master spy. He was a bibulous blowhard, a second-rater whose utility to the Soviets expired long before 1951. When he was stationed at the embassy in Washington, DC in 1949-51, he did not even have a regular Soviet contact. (When he finally ended up in Moscow, the KGB had no use for him: he was under constant surveillance and suspicion.) Philby was mainly useful to the British security services, first as a useful fool whose contacts could be monitored, later as a straw-man who could be portrayed as a sort of Prof. Moriarty of espionage, thereby allowing the security services to hide how they much they actually knew about the Soviet apparatus.

                                                                    The arguments are based on the author's review of the so-called Venona transcripts, decryptions and counterintelligence documents that accumulated in the American security services from the 1940s and 50s. This book serves as a sort of bibliographic introduction to what can be pulled out of those files, but it is itself too confused and sprawling to be the final word itself. The thing is just difficult to read. It needed an editor and proofreader, to give it clarity and shape, and to catch the author's more obvious errors. At least twice Hamrick speaks of Heath being Prime Minister in 1963, and I can't tell whether he really means Macmillan or Lord Home, or means minister Heath in the cabinet.

                                                                    3 out of 5 stars HEROIC SOVIET SPIES OR BRITISH DUPES?.......2007-04-21

                                                                    I like a James Bond spy thriller replete with the latest technology as well as the next guy. Le Carre's Cold War-inspired George Smiley series. Even better. So when I expected to get the real `scoop' on the actions of the Kim Philby-led Ring of Five in England that performed heroic spy service for the Soviet Union I found instead mostly skimpy historical conjecture by Mr. Hamrick. The central premise of his book that the Ring of Five was led by the rings in their noses by Western intelligence made me long for one of Mr. le Carre's books. Apparently the only virtue of the opening of Cold War archives has been not to bring some clarity about the period but to create a cottage industry of conjecture and coincidence that rival the Lee Harvey Oswald industry. Interestingly, the New York Review of Books (April 26, 2007) in its review of Mr. Hamrick's book brought in the big guns. The review by Phillip Knightley, who actually has done some heavy work sorting out the Philby case, politely, too politely, dismisses the claims as so much smoke. No disagreement there from these quarters.

                                                                    2 out of 5 stars Fiction.......2005-12-31

                                                                    If the British Intelligence had indeed set a trap for the Cambridge Spies, then the deceiving plan was poorly managed that eventually led to disasters.

                                                                    It is highly unlikely that Philby would be promoted to such a high position to post at Washington DC as a liaison between SIS (MI6), CIA and FBI had his true identity as a Soviet agent been exposed to the MI5. The success of such a bold counter-intelligence plan need at least
                                                                    (1) a highly motivated and efficient British security service. MI5's inexcusable incompetence in the Klaus Fuchs' investigation during the same time period showed the exact contrary,
                                                                    (2) complicated and delicate co-operations among the three giants which unfortunately history has proved non-existence even between CIA and FBI in 1950s.

                                                                    The reality is cryptically simple, Philby compromised many of the three agencies' intelligence or counter-intelligence operations whether domestic or international, Albanian Operation for example, and possibly the sensitive Venona Secrets. Philby successfully deceived the three powerful giants, not the other way as the author expected. Even worse, Philby involuntarily created a long-term mistrust between American and British intelligence communities.

                                                                    This book has unusually larger amount of comments and imaginations than necessary supporting facts.

                                                                    4 out of 5 stars A New Twist to an Old Story?.......2005-08-04
