1.		Thirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis from W.W. Norton & Co. Price: $6.98 Customer Review: Read the book several years ago and was convinced that the Russian ships turned around because they were carrying the nuclear warheads that the Cuban Missiles were lacking.

2.		Andrew Jackson from Times Books - Henry Holt and Company Price: $11.50 Customer Review: Andrew Jackson was and is a controversial character in the United States. Some people love him and some people hate him. This book does a wonderful job of discussing some main events that shaped Jackson's life and presidency. This book sticks to Andrew Jackson and does not explain the histories of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Robert Kennedy and His Times from Mariner Books Price: $6.54 Customer Review: Robert Kennedy played to win. The idea that he was a champion of the little guy is a myth. If you look at his record, you'll see that he was involved up to his neck in nefarious operations. A lot of material was not avaialble for this book - especially some recent de-classified material which shows... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		George H. W. Bush: The American Presidents Series: The 41st President, 1989-1993 from Times Books Price: $3.91 Customer Review: Well I too thought that George H. W. Bush was a better president than either the previous occupant or Clinton. He was a wise man who counciled patience and caution. He also wasn't afraid to break a campaign pledge that hurt the country. Unfortunately crazy conservatives killed him in the primaries... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		James Madison (The American Presidents Series) from Times Books Price: $11.18 Customer Review: This is the first book I read on Madison. I gained a knowledge about the events surrounding his presidency, but missed out on how he was personally operating within these events at times. For example, the author briefly mentions that Madison was close to death from an illness during his 2nd term,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House from Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers Price: $19.23 Customer Review: This book is one of the most thorough firsthand accounts of the Kennedy administration and takes an almost exhaustive look at many of the things that occurred during the administration.

8.		Herbert Hoover: The American Presidents Series: The 31st President, 1929-1933 from Times Books Price: $11.75 Customer Review: Having read many US President bios.,I feel safe in saying that Herbert Hoover`s story is the most extraordinary in terms of the wierd contradictions in his life actions and, in his latter years after his defeat in 1932, some of the most extraordinary quotes and statements he made, mainly in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Richard M. Nixon: The American Presidents Series: The 37th President, 1969-1974 from Times Books Price: $3.89 Customer Review: I don't believe I've read anything more profoundly biased and angry against President Nixon. At one point, its claimed he couldn't get out of, or end the war in, Vietnam. This is total BS because President Richard Nixon did, in fact, end the war in Vietnam! I think Drew needs to take a history... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.	[no image]	To Lose a Battle: France 1940 from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: Alastair Horne's book "To Lose a Battle: France 1940" is a wonderful work of military history that details the German boldness and Allied incompetence that led to the Third Reich's greatest military victory of the war. Horne portrays the Allied generals as bickering and indecisive, jealous of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
