1.		Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal from Harmony Price: $17.13 Customer Review: A suposedly true story, but frankly it did not have much of a ring of truth about it. Certainly parts are true, but as much of the story relied on the writings of a con man, how much can one believe. It has that, after the fact ring, of the victors did nothing wrong and the vanquished did nothing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond from Bloomsbury USA Price: $23.09 Customer Review: As one who studied Fleming's work extensively as a graduate student and later publishing a thesis on the writer's impact on pop culture of the period, I must admit I was a bit skeptical about yet another bland and redundant Bond "coffee table" book for the masses. Happily, this is not the case with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Man Who Would Be King: The First American in Afghanistan from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $11.20 Customer Review: In Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King, a young adventurer named Daniel Dravot penetrates feudal Afghanistan disguised as a cleric.

6.		The Englishman's Daughter: A True Story of Love and Betrayal in World War I from Delta Price: $11.86 Customer Review: At the center of this book is a fascinating bit of history, the story of some of the British troops left behind as the allies retreated in the face of the German onslaught at the start of World War I. My trouble with this book is that this central story is overwhelmed by not especially relevant... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Forgotten Fatherland: The Search for Elisabeth Nietzsche from Farrar Straus & Giroux (T) Customer Review: Some of the reviews have complained there is not enough information on the Nueva Germania Colony, and the book is merely a biography of Elizabeth Nietzsche. I would like to point out the book fails to be either. Instead of starting at Elizabeth's childhood, as any proper biography should, the book... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Josiah the Great from HarperPerennial Customer Review: This well written book is a great addition to any historical research library. It's also fun to read. Unlike some dry historical non-fiction, it's interesting and involves the reader in the life of Josiah Harlan, a 19th century Quaker from Pennsylvania who set off for Afghanistan and kept detailed... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
