Cold War Book Review
.... know what it was all about…
Sometimes I think that at that early age I
learned everything about my sex from these
thin paper dolls—or, at least, the basic
knowledge that for a woman it is more

.... colonies.
Prior to England's victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, English exploration had been limited by religious and political turmoil.

For King, the change in his outlook came when he looked at the social problems of the urban slums, and the extent of racism of his previous allies. This turning point came with the riots in Watts, Los Angeles. For Malcolm X, the major change came when he broke from the Nation of Islam and went on his Hajj to Mecca, when he realised the anti-racist nature of true Islam. It must be remembered, however, that Martin's second phase came well after Mal .....

praise for General Grant.
