A useful introduction to Cohen's biography.
Lots of interesting information and useful facts about Field Commander Cohen's life and work. Well laid out with plenty of photographs and appendices. The book does not gloss over The Ladies Man pre-recording days,as other related material does.

The only criticism is that it is toosycophantic. Best example of this is the awe with which Leonard'suniversity reading list is presented - Everybody Knows students don't reada quarter of the books they should, preferring to lead The Smokey Lifeinstead. But if He's Your Man then it is worth a read. ... Read more

Product Description
The demographic and social structure of most industrialized and developing countries are changing rapidly as infant mortality is reduced and population life span has increased in dramatic ways. In particular, the oldest-old (85+) population has grown and will continue to grow. This segment of the population tends to suffer physical and cognitive decline, and little information is available to describe how their positive and negative distal experiences, habits, and intervening proximal environmental influences impact their well-being, and how social and health policies can help meet the unique challenges they face. Understanding Well-Being in the Oldest Old is the outcome of a four-day workshop attended by U.S. and Israeli scientists and funded by the U.S.-Israel Bi-National Science Foundation to examine both novel and traditional paradigms that could extend our knowledge and understanding of the well-being of the oldest old. This volume engages social scientists in sharing methods of understanding, and thereby possibly improving, the quality of life of older populations, especially among the oldest old. ... Read more

Fascinating Heartfelt True Story
True story of how a young Jewish boy succeeded in resisting the Nazis & then triumphed over his fate in life.

Profound story of courage, believe and survival
This is an amazing true story about a Jewish boy from Pressburg, Checkoslovakia who survived the Nazis. Once you start reading it, you can't put the book down.It fully captivates you.The story is so awesome that you feel as you're the one experiencing the horrible trials that this boy was presented with.
I happen to know the author (the boy in the book), Romi Cohen.He's now prominent business man and a world famous Mohel in New York who brings great mitzvah to the world.

Surviving the holocaust and maintaining faith
I found this to be an amazing book. The book is about a young Jewish boy in Czechoslovakia who survived through all the Nazi efforts to kill him and the people he was with. Despite the difficulties he maintained his faith. Unlike other holocaust books, this doesn't make one feel helpless, because he fought back. It made me feel as if I was there myself. The amazing thing is that it is all true! ... Read more
