3.		Cradle & Crucible: History and Faith in the Middle East from National Geographic Price: $16.00 Customer Review: This was a good book for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.

7.	[no image]	Europe's Last Summer: Who Started the Great War in 1914? from Blackstone Audiobooks Price: $56.95 Customer Review: It is amazing that the leader most opposed to war was the Kaisar, who ended up watching as his country started one. And the leader most in favor of Slav rights was the Arch-Duke, who died by the hand of a Slav who wanted more rights.
