7.A Small PlaceA Small Place
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Customer Review:
I bought this book for a college class that I'm sailing through the Caribbean for. This is probably one of the best books I've read in a while. Kincaid's sarcasm and wit make this a fun read, and his poetic style enhances the text further. This work is a quick read, and I would recommend it to... more info

The author shares her insights into the problems that are cascading Afghanistan back into the arms of the Taliban and their allies.

9.I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in GuatemalaI, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala
from Verso
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
I was wandering through the stacks of textbooks being read by students at an expensive, west-coast university recently and about passed out when I saw that this obscene waste of trees is STILL required reading.
It says volumes about the totally intellectually debased education young people are... more info

10.Che Guevara: A Revolutionary LifeChe Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
from Grove Press
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
One must give Jon L. Anderson his props for the objectivity with which he approched the controversial character of Che. He uses a plethora of resources, many of which have never been seen before, to contruct an accurate picture of what occured during Che's life and the effect he has had on the... more info

11.The Last Days of the IncasThe Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $21.30

Customer Review:
The Last Days of the Incas is by far the most interesting history/non fiction book I have ever read. It reads much like a novel, brining the history of the Spanish conquest of Peru into vivid clarity and making the book extremely hard to put down. If you have an interest in the history of Peru, or... more info

12.Guerrilla WarfareGuerrilla Warfare
from bnpublishing.com
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
This book is very simplistic and is based completely on the Cuban revolution. It has some interesting points here and there, but it is lacking the depth of other like works such as Mao's work on Guerrilla warfare. There are two works in one in this book. The first is on how to organize and fight a... more info

13.Modern Latin America, Sixth EditionModern Latin America, Sixth Edition
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $49.45

Customer Review:
In my college going career, I have never crossed a book written by someone that is clearly so knowledgeable... unfortunately, the author is also so incredibly boring that I can't believe that they've read their own book. This one is a snoozer and I struggle to get through it.

14.Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the AztecsConquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs
from Tantor Media
Price: $18.99

Customer Review:
This book covers the Cortes expedition, from the landing along the coast through the destruction of the Aztec capital, with a short wrap up of the featured players. I was glad that the author resisted the temptation to go on and on. He found his ending point and took it. For those wanting more,... more info

15.The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of MexicoThe Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico
from Beacon Press

Customer Review:
A very good introductory book to the Conquest of Latin America. Though I do have to say, use only as an introduction. It is not a very good book to cite for any research. A very good example of showing both sides of the story; Spanish vs. Native.

16.Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban BoyWaiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy
from Free Press

Customer Review:
I loved this childhood memoir and I felt it is not only one of the best non-fiction books I've read, but it competes with my favarite: fiction. It has the feel of fiction as the people in the author's life and the author himself all had very vivid imaginations. So at times, the story felt totally... more info
