| | 3. |  | The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $9.40
Customer Review:
For what looks like a trade market paperback, the content kept me turning the pages. The author introduces you to key figures that assist with personal connection to the narrative.

from Vintage
Price: $9.45
Customer Review:
There is a lot of ground to cover here, but horne does so well. I read this book before travelling to paris for the first time. The book gives an excellent overview of the major historical events shaping paris

| | 8. |  | Kissinger: 1973, the Crucial Year
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
Though Mr Horne is an accomplished historian, he trolled too close to the trees to see the Kissinger forest. Interesting anecdotes aside, his accounting of a pivotal year in the career of the refugee from Hitlerite Germany seems too starry eyed about the dubious achievements of his subject.
