About The Book.......2005-05-24
From The Jacket Flap:
There are many books which tell you how to do many things. But here is a book that not only tells you, but also motivates you to do it. It's a book of winning strategies for identifying what you want and then inspiring yourself to achieve those goals. This book will help you to produce specific, measurable, long-lasting changes in yourself. It will transform your relationship with money and help you create financial independence. It will help you turn your dreams and visions into reality.
How? One of the biggest secrets of life is that you must feel successful and feel rich inside before you can create riches in your outer world. Our lives are driven by our emotions and how we feel about ourselves and the world. Logical and analytical thinking can offer all the advice and practical tools we will ever need-and still leave us lacking in the motivations, passion, and excitement to use the strategies that guarantee success. Lee Milteer has beaten all the odds and will show you how to do the same-and be the person you want to be.
Lee Milteer is president of Lee Milteer Associates, Inc. in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her powerful presentation style has made her one of North America's most highly regarded human-potential speakers. Lee is a businesswoman whose background is in sales and management. Since 1980, she has been speaking professionally about success principles to thousands of people throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and the Virgin Islands. Among the many companies she has worked with are IBM, Xerox, Fed Ex, AT&T, and Walt Disney. She has also shared a platform with Og Mandino, Zig Ziglar, Norman Vincent Peale, and many other well-known speakers and celebrities.

Self-Talk and Grow Rich Review.......2003-10-02
I recently read the book entitled "Self-Talk and Grow Rich and was impressed to find out that this book is not just another one of the "get rich schemes", but a book that adheres to the biblical principles for financial wealth.
"Self-Talk and Grow Rich" gives the principles, keys, steps and purposes for individuals who are struggling financially. The book also provides scriptures which supports the confessing of God's word on a daily basis to produce supernatural abundance.
The is also a guide for peope who need help with anxiety, anger, sickness, low self esteem and fear. The book gives biblical instructions on how to use self-talk in any of these areas.
"Self-Talk and Grow Rich" explains how we need to change our attitude towards money and prosperity. The book uses various scriptures to prove that God wants us to be healthy and prosperous and to be a blessing to His kingdom.
I was greatly inspired by the author's personal testimony of how he received a supernatural blessing during financial challenge. He writes how after he daily made faith confessions, and put himself into position to receive, his debt was wiped out.
I highly recommend the book for individuals who are ready to experience financial wealth, health and peace of mind.

hilarious and much needed for uptight america.......2002-03-22
This book kept me in stitches. Written with so much clever humor. I am a straight woman who wants to know about what's up in my fair city. Now I want to grab the husband and hit some of these clubs after reading the guide.
Hello Los Angeles!.......2002-02-02
Voltaire once said "Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need." But hey, we all need some vice every now and then, mostly we need vice now! It seems like these two writers, Hundley and Guzik, really dug deep into the Los Angeles underbelly, did their gumshoe work and came out with an excellent guide to not only Sex, but dare I say, a great book on the beatific city of Los Angeles. This book has everything you'd ever want to know about Sex in Los Angeles, but didn't have the druthers, or knew the right questions, to ask. Also, the writing (funny as all get out) is worth the price of admission alone, not to mention all the sex info. Buy it and you won't be disappointed!
Still Horny? Yes..after reading this book!.......2002-01-27
This book is just a book mostly on strip clubs, shopping, and night clubs. This book might be good for men who are trying to locate the ultimate strip club, or where to pick up a bimbo, but for anything else...forghettaboutit! I personally bought the book to find out how they rated some of the swinging clubs, but there was only a mention of two. Out of all the swing clubs, underground sex clubs and parties out here in Los angeles...they only mention two. Oh yea..if youre looking for a good spa to get a facial or something, or shopping for sex toys and sexy clothes...its cool! But if youre looking for all the places where you can have some crazy sexual fun in Los Angeles... forgettaboutit! Keep looking!
Very Well-Designed, Interesting Topics, Fast Read!.......2002-01-11
As a relationship author from Los Angeles, I found this book to be a real eye-catcher. This book is beautifully designed from a book production point-of-view and is a handy guide for sexually curious people.
It seems like more of a guy's book, but there are lots of contributions from women in this fascinating collection of sexy ideas. While topless bars may not be of interest or value to most women and even some guys, I found the "Rules of the Lap Dance: Do's & don'ts from a private dancer" to be a good read. There's also information of hotspots in not-to-far San Francisco, Las Vegas, Tijuana, and Palm Springs.
It's also like a restaurant guide or tour book except that the establishments serve up a different kind of menu. That menu includes strip clubs, porn shops, adult toy stores, lingerie shops, spas/massage parlors, some kinky history, porn star interviews, singles bars, escort services, late-night pick-up joints, stories of rock star groupies, celebrity clubs, nude beaches, happening hotels, and even places to "make out." (Is this high school again?)
The publisher promises new editions for New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas in the near future. That New York edition should give new meaning to "Sex and the City."
I give this a 5 star rating for the ideas it triggers and for the excellent formatting. But the real question is whether this information is really a benefit or just something interesting to read about. As a travel-tour book it's price of $18.95 may be in line. As something interesting to read, however, the price of the book is $4 too high.
In the meantime, this book should probably sell a ton regardless.

"Ulysses S. Grant was a perceptive and surprisingly modern manager," writes Al Kaltman. "A pragmatist who learned from his own and others' successes and failures, he brought new dimensions to strategic planning. He was adept at seizing and exploiting opportunities as they presented themselves, and he boldly shattered paradigms long before the term paradigm had made its way into the management jargon."
Kaltman uses Grant's military career, beginning with his enrollment at West Point through his early successes in the Civil War to his eventual command of the entire Union Army, to illustrate 250 basic principles of business success, from "Bureaucrats do the dumbest things" to "You can't stop the clock." In an afterword, Kaltman considers how President Grant failed to live up to the principles of teamwork and planning that led General Grant to victory, with a resultant career as chief executive whose legacy has been less than stellar.
Book Description
Long before leadership became identified as the catalyst for corporate success, the Civil War's winning general was showing the world how dynamic leadership is the crucial determinant of victory or defeat.
Ulysses S. Grant never sought fame of glory, nor did he try to tie his performance to personal reward. Instead, he concentrated on contribution and service. He looked upon being given increased responsibility not as increasing his power, but as increasing his ability to get the job done. "The great thing about Grant...is his perfect correctness and persistency of purpose." (Abraham Lincoln)
In this masterful retelling of Grant's story, Al Kaltman draws on Grant's writings and life experiences to present a series of practical lessons on how to get superior performance from the troops.
Going beyond mere "how-to's", Cigars, Whiskey & Winning deals with character traits, core beliefs, and fundamental values to reveal the secrets to becoming a winning leader that are as much about "who to be" as "what to do". And there isn't a chart, table, or checklist in sight-just a handy index of lessons for ready inspiration on demand.

Good leadershipship principles by U.S. Grant........2007-09-22
Grant may have been a poor President, but he was a great General. This book expounds the leadership principles of his war years. Grant was not only decisive, but he could also admit to mistakes. His treatment of his fellow officers shows he was a born leader. In three years, he rose from being a store clerk to a four star general. He did this using his courage, common sense, and good decision making. Lincoln may have saved the Union through his political leadership, but U.S. Grant saved it militarily with his good leadership.
This is a easy to read book. The book is in excess of three hundred pages, but most of the pages are not full. Some two hundred and fifty principles are detailed in the leadership of U.S. Grant. Too bad Grant did not use some of these principles in his Presidency.
Home run.......2007-07-30
Kaltman has done the research for you and put it all in a great lesson by lesson format. Any leader can refer to this book for day to day operations.
Every Manager Should Read This........2007-04-10
Very good read for anyone in management.
Uses the Civil War memoires of U.S. Grant to illustrate management skills and practices.
Very interesting. Excellent gift for men.
True to Grant's Character and Management Theory.......2007-03-15
Well researched book that explored both Grant's personality and effective leadership. I found it a nice change of pace from most management texts. Done in small bites, it would be great for use in class or discussion group. I felt it started rather simplicistically, but improved quickly. I especially appreciated the chapter at the end that explored why such a successful General was considered far less effective as a President. Good investment for any management bookshelf.
Well written book, with good advice........2006-03-09
I found it both intertaining to read, and thought provoking. It is full of logical advice, and real-world examples.

Warrior sacrifice.......2007-09-26
Dennis Banks has obviously witnessed the personal sacrifice of following a path in a cause larger than his own self-interest. He and Erdoes have done well in their writing and story telling of the hey day of the American Indian Movement. Such a sad chapter in the history of this nation but I was awe-struck at the tone of optimism in Banks as a person. He truly embodies a level of hope and spiritual regeneration despite his many flaws---as we all have. The price one pays as he has in his life for pursuing a dream is truly remarkable. Great piece of work that deserves every consideration. Now, if only justice would finally roll down like the waves of a might water for Leonard Peltier.
Pay for your crimes!!!.......2007-03-16
America is a very, very, very old place. We were not here first and it is time we give back what is not rightfully ours. The American Indian is the original American and he should be able to do whatever he wants to do in America.
Buy this book and let us free brother Leonard!!!!
A Good Read.......2006-11-11
I purchased this book for an anthropology class and I found it to be
an interesting read, but not an easy read. The book is written as if the author is actually talking to you so it tends not to be very smooth, however the content is very interesting and enlightening. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in what the Native Americans are really like, how they live, and more importantly how they are treated in their own country.
Great Personal History and Social Commentary.......2006-08-08
Ojibwa Warrior is an autobiography and first hand account of the formation and rise of the American Indian Movement told by one of its founders, Dennis Banks. Banks' book, Ojibwa Warrior, is a multi-dimensional account of the history of racism and empire in the United States which should be of great interest not only to historians but also to anthropologists, philosophers, ecologists and especially social and environmental activists.
Banks begins the book with one of the most important events of the 20th century - the armed takeover and occupation of Wounded Knee by the American Indian Movement in 1973. Throughout the course of interaction between the Federal government of the United States and the remaining Tribal Reservations, the takeover of Wounded Knee was arguably the most important event of the 20th century. The takeover placed the American Indian Movement and the struggle for Native sovereignty into the national and international spotlight. The takeover of Wounded Knee is a fitting beginning for Banks' book, which is filled with various stories and events that combine into a overarching narrative of uncompromising struggle against oppression and determination to better the lives of Native Americans by any and all means necessary.
From Wounded Knee, which is dealt with in detail towards the end of the book, Banks fades back to his childhood years on the Leech Lake Ojibwa Reservation in Northern Minnesota where he was born in 1937. Banks was born into an economically poor yet culturally rich environment where he and his family lived close to the land and relied on natural foods to supplement their scarce and unhealthful government rations. Dennis tells of the close relationship that he had with his Grandparents, who still spoke the Ojibwa language and continued to practice the spiritual and cultural traditions of their ancestors. Throughout the book, Dennis would reflect back on those happy days often. However, the good times did not last. At the age of six, Dennis and his siblings were forcibly removed from the care of their relations to be placed into State run boarding schools. Banks' experience in this "school" was one that can be described as nothing other than a Government sponsored attempt at cultural genocide.
When Dennis returned to the reservation, he found the situation there to be much worse than when he had left as a child. Although the reservation had always been poor and marginalized, the situation was now much worse - increasing numbers of white folks had encroached into the reservation and the state had forced the Ojibwa nation to take out licenses to hunt traditional foods on their own land. The ability to sustain oneself on the reservation had become nearly impossible and Banks did what many youths from poor and marginalized areas often do in a tragic attempt to better their economic situations - he joined the armed forces. Ironically, rather than making Banks into a mindless soldier for America, his time in the Air Force ended up engendering within him a consciousness of the racist and imperialistic nature of the United States:
"I had been guarding the ramparts of the American Empire, but now I felt like those Crow and Arikara Indians who, after scouting for Custer and fighting on behalf of the whites, were pitted against their own brothers, the Cheyenne and Lakota. My Japanese family members were called gooks, slopes, and slant-eyes by whites, and those who suffered from these names were people just like me. Was I not a slant-eye, as all American Indians are? The American Air Force, which I had thought of as a friend, turned out to be an enemy" (p.55).
Although his antipathy toward the Air Force had already been established, Banks extended his tour of duty two years to remain in Japan with his new Japanese wife and child. When Banks was reassigned to the States shortly after, he went AWOL in order to remain with his family. However, his freedom did not last for long and he was quickly captured, court-marshaled, jailed and shipped back to the States where he received a dishonorable discharge.
By the mid 1960s, Banks was remarried with children and living in the "Indian Ghetto" section of Minneapolis where he had sunken into despair and alcoholism. In 1966, he was arrested, convicted and sent to prison for two years for stealing groceries to feed his family. During his time in prison he wrote that he had become invigorated by the growing resistance to U.S. empire both inside and outside the country and was especially inspired by groups such as the Weather Underground and the Black Panther Party. When he was released from prison in 1968, he returned to Minneapolis, determined to organize the Indian community to join in the struggle against racism and empire. On July 28, 1968, Banks organized a meeting in the "Indian Ghetto," where over 200 people showed up to discuss how to best empower their local community - during this meeting the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) was formed.
A.I.M. began with the formation of a local cop-watch program to monitor and intervene in police abuses of the Indian community. As A.I.M. began to grow and achieve successes in its various struggles, native communities around the country began to call upon the group to intervene in their local struggles. A.I.M.'s tactics were confrontational and although they did not seek violence, they were not afraid to use it if they deemed it necessary to achieve their goals. Coupled with their militant organization and tactics, Banks also describes a spiritual foundation based on a synthesis of traditional native ceremony/spiritualism that was very important to the cohesion and morale of the organization. Although A.I.M.'s tactics were modeled after groups such as the Panthers and Weathermen, those groups suffered from a reactionary anti-spiritualism and disconnected consciousness. It is very likely that A.I.M's spiritual foundation was the key element that allowed A.I.M. to achieve many great successes in their struggles as well as to remain as an organized movement while other resistance movements dismantled and faded into oblivion when faced with the violent repression of the U.S. government under the cointelpro program.
A.I.M. achieved many great victories in their struggles, but they also suffered many devastating defeats. Banks describes some of the more notable actions that A.I.M. undertook during the 1970s and early 1980s, including the six day long occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington D.C., the riot in Custer, South Dakota, which ended in the arson of the County Court House, the three month long armed takeover and occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, and the shoot-out between A.I.M. members and F.B.I. agents at the Jumping Bull ranch on the Pine Ridge reservation. Banks also describes he and Leonard Peltier's time together on the run from a massive national manhunt after the Jumping Bull ranch incident and also writes about the time he spent in California during the 1980s while he lived under an asylum granted him by then Governor Jerry Brown.
The importance of Banks' book cannot be understated. As a primary source document, it will remain as an important reference for present and future historians studying the American Indian Movement and the various groups with which it interacted. The book will also be of great importance for present and future resistance groups who find themselves engaged in struggle against the forces of empire and the repressive apparatus of the United State Government - for these people and groups Ojibwa Warrior will provide much needed insight into the strengths and weaknesses of resistance movements in the United States and the strengths and weaknesses of the various repressive agencies of the U.S. government.
A NATIVE AMERICAN BEST SELLER.......2006-03-23
What do you say about Dennis Banks? You say a true warrior. This is a book that should have been out years ago. Dennis' life is full of rawness, meaningful, honest, strong and passionate times. Dennis captivates you with the rawness of his upbringing, he swells your heart with all the trials and tribulations of his personal thoughts and feelings, such meaningful passages; and most of all his honesty regarding his feelings of being a leader. . . passing it on . . . getting back to his roots. He brings meaning to us as a people, he makes us look at ourselves and appreciate where we came from and what we have and what we should never, never forget. Dennis is a true American warrior.
