from Walker & Company
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
If you enjoy detective novels and also have an interest in sociology and literary history, this is the book for you. It is very well-written, with neither sensationalism, nor clumsy appeals to popular cliches about either the very wealthy, the working-classes, or the really, really evil. The... more info

from Hill and Wang
Price: $9.00

Customer Review:
Very well written. Gets to the point. This is the FIRST book I've read (other than Diary of Anne Frank) about the concentration camps & the horrific plight of those who endured them.

3.Churchill, Hitler, and The Unnecessary War : How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the WorldChurchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World
from Crown
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Buchanan takes most of the good ideas from Niall Ferguson's "The Pity of War" -- you would be better off to read them in the orginal there rather than Buchanan's cribbing and twisted views. Also, Ferguson's views are highly controversial and shouldn't be taken as consensus views from historians. The... more info

6.A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an AgeA World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
I was expecting a history book. I love history books. This was more of a history story, a fireside tale of history. That's ok -- I can take that. It reminds me of Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose -- about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
While *not* a comprehensive history of the Middle... more info

Alison Weir's well-written, easy to read book about the Six Wives of Henry the VIII is an outstanding work of history about England in the 1500s, Henry's six wives, and the role they play in English politics and international relations with Spain, France and Germany. It is definitely a five... more info

8.HiroshimaHiroshima
from Vintage
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
There are works of fiction and nonfiction that transcend their genres. This is one of those works, one that should be required reading for high school students, or, at the very least, for college students, if it isn't already. The horror that was the A-bomb unleashed unbridled power over the city of... more info

from Knopf
Price: $23.10

After watching an episode of the tv series that this book is based on, I ordered two books - one to give as a gift and one for myself. The gift was very well received. Lidia is wonderful to watch, listen to and read, especially if you are nostalgic about your Italian heritage as I am.
