The Individual and the Tribe!Review Date: 2006-01-28
I read James Janko's powerfully gentle and inspiring book "Buffalo Boy and Geronimo" straight through without stopping, except to eat and relieve. Janko brought me into village life. Aware of my senses, I was living in a world of smell and touch, of reverence and spirituality, of survival and belief. In the very beginning, we learn that the Vietnamese call the Vietnam War the American War, and Janko presents a world almost unfathomable in what the US does to this country, Vietnam, and then, Cambodia, and yet, it is not black and white. We are there with the fears of the Americans. They, too, are caught in a trap. And what sustains those who are sustained? The earth, the animals, the plants. Janko is a poet, a spiritual, mystical sage who carries us along in believing and trusting. In this book, I learned what it is like to live in a Vietnamese village, and I learned the power of the individual, the group, the tribe, the village in its need to survive. I learned about honoring ancestors, and I learned it at the deepest levels. Janko brings us into a tribe, a tribe of humanity that includes all nature. This is a masterful book, a must-read book, a book to change your life.

The Mother of all Page Turners!Review Date: 2007-10-18
It reminded me of Steinbeck in its efficient ability to weave a complex and rich story full of vivid atmosphere out of so few words. A clever mix of genres too - a modern, original story with shadings of the CSI procedural, the murder mystery, and the spaghetti western. That it also manages to include a believable and satisfying love story makes me wonder if it's already being made into a movie. If so, I can't wait.
Quite simply it's a great story told with fascinating characters that leaves you begging for more. And I'm pretty sure that's all I ask for when it's time to curl up with a good book.

The buffalo nickel, found near the unidentified body by the highway, is a vital clue.
The buffalo nickels were produced from 1913 until 1938 and were considered one of the most distinctive American coins ever minted.
This book should keep you on your toes and turning the pages. "I read it in one night..." a reader recently told me.

Electrifying War DramaReview Date: 2003-02-16
Ominous events unfold in War Zone C (Tay Ninh Province) just miles northeast of Saigon near the Vietnamese-Cambodian border. Three young 25th Infantry Division soldiers befriend some local brothel girls in Tay Ninh City; the hometown of the Buddhist 'Cao Dai' militant sect and prime strategic target for local 'Charlies' and their NVA comrades, infiltrating like ants to honey through the infamous 'Dog's Head' border crossing tributary of the Ho Chi Minh trail. The GI's are told by the commie-hating girls of a plan to attack the 'Holy See' Cao Dai temple in Tay Ninh when South Vietnamese President Thieu is scheduled to give a political speech. This bit of round-the-bout intelligence sets the stage for the decimation of the crack NVA 350th Regiment in a monumental battle with few US loses.
Great stuff for starters, as Lupo leapfrogs events into an intriguing, page-turning story. The three GI's: Doc Luane, James Jaggers, and Pee Wee Anson, are promoted for outstanding 'undercover' work (no pun intended), and, as things often work in the 'Green-machine,' their boss and guardian-angel, Colonel Anson, is promoted to general and assigned to Saigon. Under the circumstances, this couldn't have happened at a more convenient time it seems with Luane, Jaggers, and Pee Wee fighting for their lives against the VC while managing to get married to their Vietnamese heartthrobs. The good general has them transferred to the relative safety of Saigon, just before Tet of 68'. We all know what erupted then.
During all this melee, the girls become pregnant, and Lupo explores the unique personalities of Luane, Jaggers, and Pee Wee Anson now rubbed raw with primeval instincts bared. This is staged against a testy background of racial tensions and negative feelings surfacing against the war, coupled with the bitter catalysts of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy's assassinations back in 'The World'. Doc Luane with his death-wish, Jaggers killer-instinct, and Pee Wee's hatred must somehow be resolved for good to prevail over evil. They bond together in a common goal of somehow getting their expectant brides out of harms way by whatever means possible---even if it means working in the rather shady backdrop of CIA vagabond, Bill Jenkins. Without giving the poignant ending away, I just might say that the author makes the adamant point of America being at war thirty-five years ago while still rattling its sabers in 2003 against an evasive enemy in which there can never be a clear-cut victory---a 'Buffalo's Revenge,' so to speak.
From both a literary and editorial perspective, the book is well organized in placement and sequence of characters and events. Diction, idiomatic construction, and maintaining a proper tone with difficult subject matter deserves special mention. The dialogue is excellent! Mr. Lupo has a talented ability to reproduce everyday speech---both American and Vietnamese---especially the half-humorous and half-hostile exchanges of men who live and work together in constant fear. Conversion of the text to that of a screenplay would give full justice to the author's literary finesse of brilliantly creating a catharsis out of the dismal abyss created by all wars. A 'dang' good Vietnam war era read---highly recommended!
" A Buffalo's Revenge"Review Date: 2003-02-10
Bob Lupo's novel is a good study in human relationships - in the most trying of situations. Although it deals with race relations - I found it was more about emotional and personal spiritual issues that at are basic to all men. I found myself thinking much deeper about the whole experience after putting down his book.
I highly recomend this book to veterans of any war - or to those who want to get a feel for what it might have been like. Although the story line is not one comon to anyone's experience that I have ever meet - it uses the situation as a way to reveal the inner warrior, that those who fought there might relate to.
This book would make a great movie, if it was ever discovered by the media. This book is well worth spending some time with. I rate it 5 Stars!

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star ReviewReview Date: 2008-07-03
Author Zitkala-a (Red Bird), a Yankton Lakota Sioux woman, took this oral tribal history story and translated it into English in 1901. Brought vividly to life by Illustrator S. D. Nelson, a Lakota artist, I found this book to be totally awesome.
Zitkala-a was a very talented native author who brings this oral tale alive in a unique way. This story and others were listened to around the campfires of her youth as told by the tribe's storytellers. She sticks closely to the oral history despite the translation into the English language. This was one of many oral historical tales that she translated from Lakota to English without the help of an editor, interpreter, or ethnographer. Raised traditionally for the first 8 years of her life, Zitkala-a then attended boarding school and later graduated from high school and college.
I find it fascinating that this story was written and published by Zitkala-a, a prolific native American woman author and native civil rights activist, over 107 years ago; and that this oral tribal history story can still be relevant to children everywhere today. Amazing!
The very gifted S. D. Nelson makes this tale literally jump off the pages and give your child a real feel for the moral message of this story. The artwork is very colorful, appealing, detailed, and kid-friendly in a big way.
This is a must-have book for your child if you want them to know the wise and valuable stories that our First American children grew up with. This is a simple but fun tale that your child will want to read over and over.
This book is put out by the South Dakota State Historical Society Press and is the second book in the Society's Prairie Tale series. Dance In A Buffalo Skull just won the Mom's Choice Awards' Most Outstanding Children's Book of 2008. This is an honor well deserved. Bravo to the South Dakota State Historical Society Press for bringing back the fascinating writings of Zitkala-a, so that new generations of the world's children can learn from her and her tribe.

Delightful for both Parents and ChildrenReview Date: 2008-05-07
The imagery in the story as well as the beautiful artwork make this story a delight to both the eyes and the imagination. The vocabulary of the story is a bit more challenging than is found in your typical children's book, but there is a glossary to help with those words, for the older children enjoying the story.
I don't personally have children, although I've always loved reading aloud to them. I lent my copy of this book to a good friend so she could 'test' it on a real child. Her son, 4yrs old, loved the story and asked for it to be read multiple times. She said he normally doesn't do that. So not only is this book a delight for an adult to read, it is a delight for a child to listen to.

Not just a Western story but a lesson in lifeReview Date: 2007-09-18
From beginning to end, this western adventure kept me reading. I imagined it to be just another novel about Cowboys, Indians and cattle drives. I couldn't have been more wrong. "Peacemaker of the Pecos" was a story of a town's struggle against tyranny and the evil elements that existed there. The story deals with one man's crusade to rid his town of an evil rancher that wanted to eliminate everyone that got in his way. But what the Hombre didn't count on was William Hart, a simple farmer (they all thought). But William had a secret buried deep inside of him that he wasn't so proud of; a secret that he even kept hidden from his wife and son. That secret would be brought out and William would save the town and all the people in it. Proving that turning the other cheek isn't always the answer.
I will be the first to admit that "I am not a great fan of Western novels," but "Peacemaker of the Pecos" was a very interesting read, from first page to the last. It was more than just a Western story; it had all the makings of a very good adventure. The way it was presented, the characters, plot and climax were a joy to read. I gave it an A and must admit, "I would read another Western that Mr. Edmonson writes, without any hesitation."

Another Libertarian AgreesReview Date: 2005-03-11
His defense of DiLorenzo's "The Real Lincoln" is incisive and accurate, and catches the spirit of this new breed of Lincoln critics. Jim summarizes the book nicely, and adds his own spin to DiLorenzo's commentary. Lincoln's excesses as a president are amazing to see laid out so graphically. Others have done the same for our twentieth century demigods, Wilson and Roosevelt, leading more and more of us to wonder about how political power is used and abused.
He covers many other areas, but one of my great interests has been the activities of our Communist brethren, especially in the area of murdering their citizens and neighbors. The "Black Book of Communism", while attacked by the left in France and here for being hard and nasty, does what has been needed for a long time. I doubt it will silence the noisy left on college campuses, but it will give some very graphic documentation to the accusations that have long existed against the Communist governments.
I expect that everyone will find many meaningful articles in this collection, and will especially enjoy Jim's humor and energetic writing style.
James Ostrowski : A Champion of Radical DecentralizationReview Date: 2005-02-12
Kind of like the republic Americans once enjoy before the federal government occupied the States, isn't it? Indeed, it's this "libertarian localism" that I find particularly appealing and laudable in James' work: his firm grasp of-and commitment to-the long-lost American virtues of radical decentralization and local autonomy. For when all is said and done, the real freedom lover doesn't sit on a lofty, holier-than-thou, intellectual perch. Rather, he gets down to the messy business of reclaiming his neighborhoods, as James does in "What's Wrong With Buffalo."
And as James has done (with verve and vim) throughout "Political Class Dismissed."
But even more than this volume's blistering attack on Leviathan, the thing I most appreciate about James Ostrowski is ... James Ostrowski himself. Here's why: "Essays Against Politics," the subtitle of this book, emphasizes not politics (the source of our bondage), but life, private life (the source of our renewal). James practices in life what he preaches in these "Essays Against Politics." He fights injustice as a litigator (and still finds time to write prolifically). He is a devoted family man, whose love and admiration for an inspirational father lights up his work. And he is unusual among libertarians (we are indeed a fractious bunch) for being intellectually honest-James gives credit where and when it's deserved, and in the face of intellectual disagreement and difference.
In addition to a sprinkle of wry humor, James exhibits throughout "Political Class Dismissed" an uncanny knack for distilling the issues: "freedom means doing what you will with what you own," he writes. To our overlords in government, such words are pearls before swine, but they'll resonate with freedom-loving Americans.
James's hero-Thomas Jefferson, the author of "the greatest secessionist document in history, The Declaration of Independence"-is also mine. This is just one of the reasons I call James a friend, and a fellow literary comrade-in-arms.
And why I recommend his book.

Review of Political Class DismissedReview Date: 2004-11-07
Another interesting essay focuses on the history of the FBI. This essay demonstrates that, since its inception, the FBI has acted primarily as a domestic intelligence agency whose primary function is to monitor and quash political dissent.
Political Class Dismissed is an excellent addition to the library of anyone interested in American politics and offers thought-provoking solutions on how to get the country back on the right track.

Buffalo Boy and Geronimo is about the brutality of war, the torments of adolescence and the senselessness of environmental terrorism. It is also a tale of love, growth, spiritual rebirth and hope.
The writing is almost poetical and is transfused with Janko's pantheistic philosophy. A wonderful piece of literature which champions the dignity of animals, the humanity of our enemies and the preciousness of our environment. One of the most sensitive books written on the Vietnam war...please read it and pass it on.
