1.Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Dire Warning: Churchills First Speech as Prime MinisterBlood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Dire Warning: Churchills First Speech as Prime Minister
from Basic Books
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
I have received the book, but it has blank pages on page #67, 70, 71, 78, 79, 82, 83, 86, 87, 90, 91, 94, 95, 98 & 99. Think it is probably due to printing/binding errors. Thus I have just requested for a replacement copy from Amazon today.

2.The Duel: The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and HitlerThe Duel: The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and Hitler
from Yale University Press
Price: $14.36

Customer Review:
I've always had great interest in World War II, and specifically the Battle of Britain, so this book seemed like a great fit, especially considering the author's strong reputation. Interestingly, this book is not so much about the pivotal Battle of Britain -- it spans May 10, 1940 to July 31, 1940,... more info

from Yale University Press
Price: $9.56

Customer Review:
One of my favourite books. Great story, told with great pace. I am in shock at the minority of people who do not like this. What on earth is their idea of a good book?

4.Budapest 1900: A Historical Portrait of a City and Its CultureBudapest 1900: A Historical Portrait of a City and Its Culture
from Grove Press
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
In many of his books, Lukacs sets out to write a multi-disciplinary history (drawing on economics, psychology, sociology, and political theory) of a narrowly circumscribed subject during a relatively thin slice of time (e.g., "Five Days in London, May 1940" and "June 1941: Hitler and Stalin"). Here,... more info

5.Student s Guide to HistoryStudent's Guide to History
from ISI Books
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
Lukacs' fluid writing style is this book's greatest merit. He points out a great deal of classical and modern history of outstanding merit and durability. This booklet, however, is published by the ISI's publishing house. Reading it is like being flung back into the academic culture of East Coast... more info

6.George Kennan: A Study of CharacterGeorge Kennan: A Study of Character
from Yale University Press
Price: $18.98

Customer Review:
This remarkable book is both an act of filial piety and a reference point for future historians: Kennan must be taken seriously, must endure, and must be seen at least as one of the important ships in a small--and not growing-- flotilla of great American statesmen. Lukacs performs a service of... more info

8.Democracy and Populism: Fear and HatredDemocracy and Populism: Fear and Hatred
from Yale University Press
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
The author seems to have some good ideas and I agree with much of what I think he is trying to say. The problem is the man can't seem to maintain a train of thought long enough to complete a decent sentence. I've never seen so much paraphrasing in a book. It's almost as if he's trying to write in... more info

9.June 1941: Hitler and StalinJune 1941: Hitler and Stalin
from Yale University Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
On page 51, after having said that he considered Stalin more "statesman" than Hitler, Mr. Lukacs discovers the startling "fact" that one of the main reasons for the contacts between Stalin and Hitler was the former's "admiration for Germany".
This is utter nonsense, as the reasons were quite... more info

10.At the End of an AgeAt the End of an Age
from Yale University Press
Price: $16.20

Customer Review:
I've given this book a two-star review because it contains many interesting ideas and should provoke much thought and discussion. Ultimately, this book must be roundly rejected for its dangerous anti-rationalism, abuse of scientific thought, and soft-core spirituality.
The central focus of the... more info
