Brody reviews 'Working-Class New York: Life and Labor Since World War II' by Joshua B. Freeman.

The Serbian genocide of Bosnian Muslims is discussed in terms of the Serbs' desire for national unity & 500-year-old cultural mythology & resentment over their defeat in the battle of the Field of the Blackbirds by the Turks. The current war is aimed at the extermination of Muslims through maximization of terror, violence, & death, & has caused soldiers -- men of sound mind -- to commit unimaginable atrocities. Though unimpeachable evidence exists to document the murder & torture, including government statistics culled from 650 eyewitnesses, & 5,039 reports of war criminals -- little more than idle threats have emerged from the international community. In the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the feeling of betrayal by the UN & Europe runs high. 2 Photographs. D. Generoli

"Kenneth M Alexander, husband, father, architect, artist, and social justice activist is many things to many people, but he is firstly true to himself, his voice, his craft and his message. In this compelling, and often nostalgic, autobiography, Kenny chronicles his personal journey through time, and local spaces, predominantly on the Cape Flats. There are moments of mirth, and tender remembrances of places that are no more, such as the Kismet Bioscope, for example, coupled with the sobering realities of living, for the most part, during a time that was fraught for all South Africans of colour, during apartheid. Kenny does not shy away from calling a spade a spade, which is perhaps one of his most endearing, and infuriating, qualities. Love him or hate him, he remains a tour de force"--Back cover

This book is the first biography in 42 years of the priest and educator whom historians have called the most important anticommunist in the country. Founder of Georgetown University's influential School of Foreign Services, Edmund A. Walsh is one of the most influential Catholic figures of the 20th century. A pioneer in the new science of geopolitics, Walsh wrote four books, dozens of articles, and gave thousands of speeches on the moral and political threat of Soviet Communism in America. Walsh left an indelible imprint on the ideology and practical politics of Cold War Washington, moving easily outside the traditional boundaries of American Catholic life and becoming, in the words of one historian, practically an institution by himself.
