1.		Flags of Our Fathers from Bantam Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I'd read "Flags of Our Fathers" after the superb "Flyboys," and perhaps it was only too easy to be disappointed. "Flyboys" is an amazing book, both focused on the immediate and on the greater picture; even for people who've read plenty of history, there are fresh revelations on every page.more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Mark Twain: A Life from Free Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I've read several biographies of Twain over the years, none more beautifully written than this book. It reads like a cultural history of the US during Twain's lifetime. I highly recommend this book to any serious student of Twain's work.

3.		Flags of Our Fathers: A Young People's Edition from Laurel Leaf Price: $6.50 Customer Review: I bought this book for my 14-year-old son, but needed something to take along with me to the doctor's office and got hooked. I have not read the "extended version", but this youth version is very good. In my opinion this book is about any 6 men who served in the Pacific Theater...I think the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Gilded Age (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $11.96 Customer Review: Witty, engaging and expertly crafted, The Gilded Age reveals Twain's and Warner's cynicism of American business practices (rampant, unrestrained speculation) and Washington politics post-Civil War. For the most part, the main characters are rather flawed. The sometimes loathsome sometimes loveable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Exercise Balance: What's Too Much, What's Too Little, and What's Just Right for You! from Gurze Books Price: $12.21 Customer Review: The Exercise Balance is a great book for anyone who exercises too much, not enough, or not at all. Great practical advice on how to read your body's physical needs, helpful illustrations and charts, and well-written information. Best of all, there is a chapter specifically for people with chronic... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship from Three Rivers Press Price: $11.21 Customer Review: This book should have been advertised more as the biography of the executive officer of the ship, Conway Whittle. The author is in fact one of his descendants and he wrote this book mostly from Mr. Whittle's log book and perspective and the book shows this bias from start to finish. The author also... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot from NAL Trade Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Bob Morgan was a friend of mine. His lovely wife urged him for years to write a book, yet he always seemed to sluff it off. At speaking engagements, he always pointed out that he was no hero, giving full credit to the other members of his crew, and the many other crews that flew the skies of Europe.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Pudd'nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $9.31 Customer Review: Given the brevity of this book, I feel a little absurd claiming it as my favorite work by Twain, but it is indeed my new favorite, even over Huckleberry Finn (which is really saying something). The ideas concerning race are deeply involved and the question about how much of our "make up" is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Darfur Darfur from DK Melcher Media Price: $25.55 Customer Review: This is a stunning, beautiful and informative book. Done for the right reasons by people that cares. Five stars is not enough.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Flags of Our Fathers: Heroes of Iwo Jima (Youth Edition) from Delacorte Books for Young Readers Customer Review: Anybody who has read about or has had relatives in the war knows about Iwo Jima. Many sadly get their "knowledge" from TV and or movies. However, the movie made from this book is not bad. Even though Hollywood took a little and made other marines experiences and stories part of the subjects of this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
