2.		Europe's Last Summer: Who Started the Great War in 1914? from Vintage Price: $6.57 Customer Review: I have read some of the other reveiws and I disagree with anyone who does not see this book as important for one reason: it provides the most authoritative understanding of why the Great War happened. This war, which still impacts us today, is badly understood. Worse, the lessons from it are lost.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Way of the World: From the Dawn of Civilizations to the Eve of the Twenty-first Century from Vintage Price: $4.29 Customer Review: There are already some good reviews on this book so I will only suggest reading the following books (whose scope is amazingly global) instead of, or in addition to, Fromkin's peculiar work: 1) Economy: 1.1 "Power and Plenty: Trade, War, and the World Economy in the Second Millennium" by Ronald... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		In The Time Of The Americans: FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur-The Generation That Changed America 's Role in the World from Vintage Price: $9.49 Customer Review: Very few writers can be both insightful and make their writing approachable. Fromkin is one of the few who can do this. This books is about FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall and MacArthur. It is an excellent periodic review of the dawning of one age to the passing of another. It also is important... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The King and the Cowboy: Theodore Roosevelt and Edward the Seventh, Secret Partners from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.77 Customer Review: I found this book to be a most interesting piece of history, a glimpse into the minds and actions of two underrated personages, telling both the good and the bad about them. When reading the book in a dentist's reception room, I was a little taken aback by a fellow paient, upon seeing the title,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The Independence of Nations from Praeger Paperback Price: $6.00 Customer Review: As "The Independence of Nations" has been published almost thirty years ago, criticizing it feels a little anachronistic; facing a very different political world and a different intellectual environment, it is probably natural that David Fromkin's book would highlight and focus different things then... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Cradle & Crucible: History and Faith in the Middle East from National Geographic Price: $0.64 Customer Review: This was a good book for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East. The book is basically split into two parts: the first part is history of the middle east and the second part focuses on the major religions of the area. The earlier chapters move a little fast for my taste, shoving... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Kosovo Crossing: American Ideals Meet Reality On The Balkan Battlefields from Free Press Price: $1.09 Customer Review: What would a book with the title "Kosovo Crossing: American Ideals Meet Reality in the Balkan Battlefield" be about? You may think it will be about the 1999 Kosovo war and its aftermath - I certainly did. But you will be, as I was, mistaken. The first one hundred pages of 'Kosovo Crossing' are... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
