Death and Exile is the dramatic history of the deportation and death of millions of Muslims in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from areas that have remained centers of conflict--the Balkans; the Middle East; and what was the Soviet Union--and shows how these conflicts developed. The history of the expansion of the Russian Empire and the creation of new nations in the Balkans have traditionally been told from the standpoint of the Christian nations that were carved from the Ottoman Empire. Death and Exile tells the story from the standpoint of the Turks and other Muslims who suffered death and exile as a result of imperialism; nationalism; and ethnic conflict. The compelling story that unfolds in Death and Exile deepens our perspective on the history of the peoples of the Middle East and the Balkans and presents a framework for understanding modern developments in the region.

A Good Book That Leaves You Wanting MoreBy Kevin BarrackThis was the first book I ever read about reincarnation; and it was a great place to start. Because the stories are each written by the people themselves; they offer a variety of styles and perspectives that provide a great overview of the issues of reincarnation; karma; and healing.This book is passionately written. The stories; and commentary by Yonassan Gershom; are honest and not fanatical. There is a pointedly open-minded attitude in the presentation; which does not assume that the reader believes in reincarntion. However; by the end of it I found myself believing and wanting to learn more.For a more scientific approach to the topic; try reading Old Souls; by Tom Shroder. For more detailed descriptions of reincarntion and the spirit world; as recovered through hypnosis; check out Journey of Souls; by Michael Newton.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I RememberBy Carole LouieAs I participant in this book; I just want to let folks know that it changed my life even though it was not an easy experience to remember. Rabbi Gershom wanted to show the personal stories from beginning to remembering to how the memories impacted their (our) lives. For me; to discover that life goes on was a huge awakening. More than that; it has given me a renewed zest for this life.
