The Official Politically Correct Dictionary & Handbook
Henry Beard, Christopher Cerf
Grafton
In an age where sensibilities matter, this is a work which will leave many issues cleared for readers. Of course, along the way you might stumble quite a few times, before getting up to laugh about it. For there is much that is hilarious here, obviously with a dash of the pretentious in terms of language. You will love it all. Muktijuddher Mahanayok Tajuddin Ahmad
Badruddin Ahmad
Nawroz Shahitya Shambhar
The author makes known his deep affection and abiding respect for the man who waged a war to free Bangladesh. Tajuddin Ahmad, he feels and so do others with him, was always a victim of intrigue in his party. What hurt even more was that in the end he needed to find his way out of government, thus parting company with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Life and Times of Andy Grove
Richard S. Tedlow
Penguin
This is a story of a great survivor. Grove came out alive from the depredations of the Second World War, never having had any reason to believe he could not rebuild life from scratch. It was plain confidence, in addition to organisational skills, that led him on. And that is how he influenced Intel. It is an inspiring work for ambitious people. Presidential Courage
Brave Leaders and How They Changed America 1789-1989
Michael Beschloss
Simon & Schuster
Beschloss has always been fascinated by American history. This work is just one more example of how he has striven to weave the many strands of that history and bring them together. Here he selects a few presidents, zeroes in on their moments of decision and informs the reader why those moments eventually accorded greatness to those men. It is a fascinating read.
