| | 2. |  | The Great War and Modern Memory
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
Another must-read for anyone interested in great literature. From the sublime to the mundane, Fussell is most fascinating. This can be a fairly quick read -- perhaps a long weekend for most, but then you will find yourself returning to re-read certain chapters, and it will definitely end up on your... more info

| | 5. |  | The Road to Oxiana
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
I have read about how great "Oxiana" is for a long time, so finally reading it is like arriving at a new place after a long journey. The author, who spends most of the book trying to cross Iran in order to get to Afghanistan, makes that country very interesting, especially now 70 years later it is... more info

from Back Bay Books
Price: $16.19
Customer Review:
Unless you enjoy seeing the US Army trashed save your money. Very twisted view of the WWII Army and those belonging to it. I agree with a previous writer that had the author been a officer doing his job his men would have been trained properly. As a retired Army officer and combat veteran I found... more info

| | 9. |  | The Road to Oxiana
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.95
Customer Review:
M. Byron wanted to write literature. His book therefore uses travel material with this goal. And indeed, it is interesting 1930's literature. He also worked hard to learn his stuff about Iran and Central Asia. However, an absence of linguistic ability and his numerous western prejudices prevent him... more info
