1.		Franklin and Lucy: President Roosevelt, Mrs. Rutherfurd, and the Other Remarkable Women in His Life from Random House Price: $18.48 Customer Review: As an admirer of FDR I was very interested in what his relationship was with Lucy Mercer. This book answers many of the questions about FDR's affair with Lucy. Moreover it is a love story about an attraction that never died for either party. With any adultery there is the victim and the author goes... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		My American Journey from Random House Audio Price: $11.99 Customer Review: Colin Powel is clearly a great American as exemplified among his many accomplishments and life experiences. However, this presentation of his life story is arduous and without excitement. This book often presents itself more like an encyclopedia entry than an insightful biography. While equal blame... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Roosevelt's Secret War: FDR and World War II Espionage from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $12.21 Customer Review: I first cut my teeth on this subject with William Stevenson's "A Man called Intrepid." That left me wanting more information about espionage during WW II and that led me to this book. Had I read this one first I probably never would have gone on to the Stevenson book. Persico is a far superior... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Nuremberg : Infamy on Trial from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.56 Customer Review: How does the civilized world hold evil accountable?

6.		Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour: Armistice Day, 1918 World War I and Its Violent Climax from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.85 Customer Review: The author's point concerning the sheer stupidity and callousness of Pershing and other allied commanders in continuing to attack German positions AFTER THE ARMISTICE HAD BEEN SIGNED is earthshaking and almost incomprehensible to today's reader. Yet there it is; probably 6,500 additional American,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		My Enemy, My Brother: Men and Days of Gettysburg from Da Capo Press Price: $17.00 Customer Review: At first I liked this book until I realized that a lot of things the author say happened, just did not happen. And a lot of things he says some of the Generals said, they didnt say them. One of the most telling is when Lewis Armistead was wounded after going over the stone wall in Pickets Charge,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	Casey: The Lives and Secrets of William J. Casey: From the OSS to the CIA from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: In November 1980, William J. Casey found himself in the most enviable position of any campaign management professional in history. He had engineered Ronald Reagan's successful campaign for President, taking the reigns of a broken operation and turning into a efficient and disciplined juggernaut.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Piercing the Reich from Viking Adult Customer Review: This is a superb book on a little-told aspect of World War II espionage -- the infiltration of OSS spies into Nazi Germany, and their tales of survival (or capture) while trying to collect intelligence, and send it to the Allies, from inside one of the most repressive police states during wartime.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
