Reviews
Human rights watch
Sybylla DeMontagna
Mr Twain is heavy on scathing,withering scorn and his journalistic background serves him well,presenting facts and figures. Its so tragic that imperialism s' fallout continues to be manifest today. John Greenman, as ever does stalwart work in his reading. Thank you, Mr Greenman, you ARE Mark Twain, to. me.

Four stars instead of five only because I am very foggy, not to say ignorant, of the events about which Mark twain is writing. Nevertheless, they are events he makes vivid. Some deal with mere politics, but the most powerful deal with events that were cataclysmic in their day and highly reminiscent of issues of our own day I refer to the pieces on US involvement the Philippines and on the depredations of Leopold of Belgium in the Congo.) The details are horrible. The style is classic Twain: well expressed ideas and sardonic humor, even despite the subject matter. I think in our present day, for mountains of information delivered with a wry smile, the closest thing is Rachel Maddow
