1.		My American Journey from Ballantine Books Price: $4.50 Customer Review: The author has provided a detailed account of his service in the US armed forces and US government national security council.

4.		Roosevelt's Secret War: FDR and World War II Espionage from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $2.42 Customer Review: There's a lot of detail in this book as it pores into every nook and cranny of Roosevelt's espionage activities.
