Analyze the perspective of the book and comment on how well the author does in presenting his arguments in the book.

/in /by

Instruction from professor: You will write a four page review essay of this book, using coherent and grammatically-correct English prose. Try to emulate the style of a professional book review, such as you would see in a good newspaper or in a scholarly journal. A review asks you to explain what it is the author is trying to do in this book and how well he does it. Comments on the author’s writing style or skill may also be relevant. It will be insufficient merely to summarize content as you would in a book report. You must also analyze the perspective of the book and comment on how well the author does in presenting his arguments in the book.

What sources do they use? What are the strengths and limits of their approach?

/in /by

create 1 page (excluding the referencing and biography) a reading note (single spacing, 12 times new Romans ) considering instructions below. The reading note is to evaluate your critical approach to evidence. It will enable the understanding of how documents make a case from evidence and how evidence should be evaluated.

In the reading note: you will consider in turn:
1. the claims of the author (what are their central ideas/arguments? Who/what are they arguing against? How do they situate themselves in the broader literature?),
2. the author’s methodologies (what guides their research? What questions do they ask/don’t they ask? What level of analysis do they adopt? What theories/concepts do they engage with? What sources do they use? What are the strengths and limits of their approach?).

What makes a good reading note?
• A good reading note is not a summary but nevertheless enable the reader to understand what the key points of the original documents are.
• A good reading note explains why the text was written and in what context.
• A good reading note is critical but not unfair. Judge whether the author has fulfilled his/her aims as set out in the introduction to the piece you are looking at.

Thank you

Assignment #2  :  Ever since the war in Vietnam ended, American politicians — and the people they serve — have been trying to learn from the lessons of the war.  Conflicts as varied as the civil war in El Salvador in the 1980s, to the first Gulf War in 1991-1992, to today’s wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and more recently, Libya, have provoked comparisons to Vietnam.  What comparisons do YOU see between Vietnam and the wars the U.S. is involved in today?  Has the United States learned from the mistakes of the past in the waging of these new 21st century conflicts?
