1.		The Capture of Attu: A World War II Battle as Told by the Men Who Fought There from Bison Books Price: $11.85 Customer Review: One of the only books on a neglected subject, this book would be appreciated by any WWII buff. I've found that, for me, the best accounts of military action are those compiled from oral reports. This classic is essential because it was put together shortly after the fight for Attu, when the memories... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Facing Fearful Odds: The Siege of Wake Island from University of Nebraska Press Price: $22.99 Customer Review: It is attributed to John Ford that he said "Print the legend, not the story." Whether that tale is true or not, the line was delivered at the end of the move `The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence,' as was said to allow a popular conception to be maintained. This same thought was behind the movie `Wake... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Custer Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong Custer from University of Nebraska Press Price: $10.00 Customer Review: The premise for this book is solid: Too often, George Armstrong Custer is judged on the basis of his effort at the Little Bighorn. Too many people ignore the estimable record he developed during the Civil War. The book traces his role in the Civil War, from a young staff officer to one of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		A Complete Life of General George A. Custer, Volume 1: Through the Civil War from University of Nebraska Press Price: $12.95 Customer Review: I just want to share summaries with other costomers	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Bataan: A Survivor's Story from University of Oklahoma Press Price: $20.79 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

7.		The Sacrificial Lion : George Armstrong Custer (Montana And The from Upton & Sons Price: $50.00 Customer Review: Mr. Custer tells a very bare bones version of his great-great uncle's life. It is startling how much is cleared away when only basic facts are discussed. The author cuts through hype, politics, revisionism, and decades of venomous build up to paint a simple, sympathetic view of Custer's life and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Black Flag Over Dixie: Racial Atrocities and Reprisals in the Civil War from Southern Illinois University Press Price: $11.00 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

9.		Riding with Custer: Recollections of a Cavalryman in the Civil War from Bison Books Price: $10.51 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
