1.		The Capture of Attu: A World War II Battle as Told by the Men Who Fought There from Bison Books Price: $15.16 Customer Review: I bought this book because my father fought in the battle for Attu in WWII. He hardly ever spoke about the War but did say Attu was the worst place on earth. The accounts written in this book have given me much greater insight into the things he described to me late in his life. This book has also... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Custer Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong Custer from University of Nebraska Press Price: $24.95 Customer Review: this book is valuable as a reference to Custer's Civil War service. At least you will learn in which battles he participated. Whether or not he was the brave hero portrayed is questionable simply because this author is so in love with Custer that everything else is disregarded. Urwin was only... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Facing Fearful Odds: The Siege of Wake Island from University of Nebraska Press Price: $23.60 Customer Review: Most people only know about wake Island from the William Bendix movie made in 1942 when very few facts of the battle were known. What was know was that in 1941, as most American outposts in the far east fell in hours, this small Island with a garrison of some 450 marines and a few airmen held out... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Riding with Custer: Recollections of a Cavalryman in the Civil War from Bison Books Price: $19.95 Customer Review: This is a memoir with chapters written in and after the 1880's. An interesting positivist take on the war--also interesting how politically conscious Kidd appears to have been. My general observation is that the Northern accounts seem to be more politicized, more likely to talk about politicians... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Black Flag Over Dixie: Racial Atrocities and Reprisals in the Civil War from Southern Illinois University Press Price: $20.25 Customer Review: Just another Anti-Confederate liberal college professor who has as grudge against anything Confederate. His verbal wars with the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Arkansas evidently predicated this book. As the author of a regimental history of a Federal Regiment and a Federal Reenactor, he has... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Bataan: A Survivor's Story from University of Oklahoma Press Price: $24.95 Customer Review: I've read about 40 first-person books written by survivors of the Japanese POW camps and this is one of the best. When I began reading the book I didn't realize that I knew Lt. Boyt's family and when I did the story became even more compelling. Lt. Boyt and his biographer did an excellent job of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
