Action Dharma charts the emergence of a new chapter in an ancient faith - the rise of social service and political activism in Buddhist Asia and the West. Fourteen new essays treat the historical origins; global range; teachings and practices; and leaders and organizations that make up the latest turning of the Dharma. Environmentalism and peace walks through the minefields of Southeast Asia; the future of the 'untouchables' of Japan; and outreach to minorities and inmates of the criminal justice system in the West are some of the challenging topics considered.

YoshidaI jumped into this book after realizing that I; like many dedicated amateur historians; had only a superficial knowledge of operations on the Eastern Front in the Second World War. This book certainly went a long way towards correcting that.What I'll say for it; both good and bad; is that you should understand that this is a detailed history of operations - down to the movements of individual units. This is very much a military history and not a political one.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. How Stalin's Red Army Crushed the WermachtBy Daniel K.
