Story
Starting as early as 1939, disparate Jewish underground movements coalesced around the shared goal of liberating Poland from Nazi occupation. For the next six years, separately and in concert, they waged a heroic war of resistance against Hitler's war machine that culminated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In Isaac's Army, Matthew Brzezinski delivers the first-ever comprehensive narrative account of that struggle, following a group of dedicated young Jews - some barely out of their teens - whose individual acts of defiance helped rewrite the ending of World War II.

Teaching courage
Reviewed: 07-09-20
I am 74. I am hoping to live 20 more years. I am studying how to be brave, how to work through fear, so that I may yet do my part in this world. This book is a primer on courage and selflessness. The narrator, Arthur Morey is just the best.

Story
When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

An important book
Reviewed: 06-27-20
I am 74. I took Psychedelics 101, Mind Expansion 101 and Basics of Community starting in the Haight Ashbury 50 yrs ago. I am still a student today. What advanced course I will take now and in the next 20 yrs. I haven’t decided. That I will do so has been assured by reading this book.
