1.		The Best Game Ever from Grove/Atlantic Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Mark Bowden has written some amazing and riveting works of non-fiction and would certainly rate in the top five of anyone today but this work really does not do his prior great writing justice. Basically he takes a lot of other people's work and pardon the pun he treads on well worn turf. Bowden... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This book went fast for me. The author's style is fairly direct, which is good given the subject matter (less direct approach leads to bogged down in names and who was where, etc.). On the negative side, occasionally he goes a little too fast and I missed important issues and people. In addition,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Bowden has written a masterful account of the Black Hawk Down tragedy which became a famous Tony Scott movie. The scene is grim: Mogadishu under the warlords with an inept, incompetent United Nations force presuming that it will separate the warring factions and restore peace.

4.		Guests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam from Grove Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Four hundred forty-four days. Think back to what you were doing 444 days ago. Think about everything you've seen and done, the people you've met, fallen in love with, fallen out of favor with during this time. Now imagine being held against your will for that long. Imagine being locked away, forced... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Doctor Dealer: The Rise and Fall of an All-American Boy and His Multimillion-Dollar Cocaine Empire from Grove Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: The book is about Larry Lavin, a dentist, family man, and cocaine dealer on the side (!). The book is well written. Moves along very nicely. This story goes to show what greed and discontentment can do to a person. Here you have a guy who has a lot going for him, but risks it all by dealing cocaine.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad from Grove Press Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This book certainly has won praise by many amazon.com readers as witnessed by the numerous five star ratings it has received. True, it is written as a fast-paced narrative, and flows well. You might call it an "easy read" as a result. However, if we take it as a work of history, rather than a "war... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Genesis (Old Testament Library) from SCM Press Customer Review: This is a classic commentary by one the true giants of modern biblical/theological thought.
