This review is from: No More Lies (Library Binding)
I first read this book in 1974, shortly after reporting to my duty station aboad a US Navy vessel. I read it because I remembered that Dick Gregory was a very funny man, and I really needed a good laugh. I got MUCH more than I bargained for.Each of us has some pivotal moment in our lives. I guess I was waiting to arrive at mine, because I remember being pretty apathetic about most things. THIS BOOK was one of three that served as my wake-up call. Dick Gregory's insight is an invaluable resource, and will serve as inspiration to almost anyone who undertakes to read this very enjoyable book. (In case you're wondering what the other two books were, one was Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and the other was "The Autobiography of Malcom X".)

Awesome, humorous tale of history,
By A Customer
This review is from: No More Lies (Library Binding)
This book was great. No More Lies tells history like it was, not like every white guy wants it to be. Gregory teaches about parts of history ignored in our high school books. He uses quotes and keeps it real. Also, his great sense of humor beats out any other modern history writer. Gregory keeps your attention throughout the whole book. For anyone looking for a fresh and often sarcastic perspective on history this book is highly recommended. - Cheese
