Robert C. O'Brien's collection of essays on U.S. national security and foreign policy; with a forward by Hugh Hewitt; is a wake up call to the American people. The world has become steadily more dangerous under President Obama's "lead from behind" foreign policy. The Obama Administration's foreign policy has emboldened our adversaries and disheartened our allies. Indeed; Obama's nuclear deal with Iran is a 1938 moment. At the same time; the U.S. military has been cut and risks returning to the hollow force days of the 1970s. O'Brien lays out the challenges and provides the common sense "peace through strength" solutions that will allow the next president to make America great again.

La Sorte does a very good job of explaining the common life path many Italian Americans took; using specific personal stories from the time to analyze such immigrant stages: Before leaving Italy; the trip to America; living conditions; finding work; etc.If you're of Italian descent as I am; you can truly appreciate the risk your ancestors took by immigrating and settling in America; and the many fears and obstacles they surely faced. I certainly recommend this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You won't see any "images" in this book...By dawnmariex224 (only 202 without the bibliography) pages and only 1 "image" inside. I expected this book to have pictures. There is one on the cover and one on the second page (and it isn't a good one). For close to thirty six dollars (regular selling price-not inflated because it is a rare book) I expected more. The stories do look interesting. I would not have bought this if I had more carefully researched the book. Just an FYI for those who come looking for pictures. There are many other books that discuss the Italian immigrant experience for much less.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Voices Come AliveBy VFPLaSorte's account of the early immigration from Italy to America is a detailed and powerful study. Each chapter -- from "Leaving Italy" to "Working in America" -- is carefully researched and includes facts from current day scholars; contemporary documents; and most importantly from the autobiographies and diaries of the young immigrants themselves. By including numerous and lengthy passages from these autobiographies and diaries; LaSorte gives this sociological study an emotional impact rare among academic work. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in immigration studies or Italian-American history.
