Cancer and Common Sense

Two recent events have transformed the world: the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of militant Islam. This is the first book to explain the link between these two occurrences. George Crile spent nearly a decade researching and writing this original account of the biggest, most expensive secret war in history: the arming of the Afghan resistance to Soviet occupation. Moving from the secret chambers in CIA headquarters to stand-offs in the Khyber Pass, Charlie Wilson's War is one of the most thorough and vivid descriptions of CIA operations ever written. It is the missing chapter in the geopolitics of our time.

The Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History: The Arming of the Mujahideen by the CIA

Charlie Wilson's War

"Six out of every one hundred American women will develop breast cancer ... at least one of them will die of it. Today, breast cancer is the most common cause of death in women between the ages of 37 and 55. And to many women the conventional treatment--radical mastectomy--is as frightening as the disease itself. This important and long-needed book presents the facts you need to know about breast cancer and about the alternative methods of treatment already used by most surgeons in England, Scandinavia, Canada, France and other nations to avoid radical mastectomy whenever possible."--Publisher's description.
