Talks in this volume were delivered by the Frierdiker Rebbe; late '39=early '40; in Riga; New York and Lakewood. They pulsate throughout with creative and inspiring interpretations of Biblical and Talmudic teachings; heartwarming descriptions of incidents and encounters in the village of Lubavitch; pungent but good-humored admonition; candid childhood recollections; energizing stories and oral traditions of his forebears; and; predictably; a veritable gallery of colorful personalities whose verbal portraits spring into life. Included is his highly-charged parting message to his Chassidim at the airport of Riga. He never allowed his sense of trauma to paralyze his optimism; it spurred him ahead to vigorous and pioneering outreach activity.

Five StarsBy Roman FriedrichExcellent book mainly from the Colonial perspective and Spainish use of Andean culture to gain control.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A most necessary read for history enthusiastsBy Drake MKenneth Andrien's book sheds light on one of the greatest civilizations that dominated the west coast of South America. Albeit it being an account after the rule of the Inca; Andrien nevertheless brings to the fore how vital Andean agency was following the "conquest" by the Spaniards. The author goes through the various forms of Andean and Spanish society; and thankfully gives us modern scholars; and interested readers; a more detailed and objective account of the realities of Inca society following "conquest".2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a must!By mitzigg04This book let me say has it all! A really great and easy to read history-type book on the incan civilization and colonial society in the Andes. It's very well written and includes so many interesting and no so obvious details. It's easy to understand and a fast read. The only complaint I have is that it's a bit repetitive throughout the chapters; but for students; that's not a bad thing!
