1.The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian DetectiveThe Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective
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

2.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

3.The Six Wives of Henry VIIIThe Six Wives of Henry VIII
from Grove Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

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

from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Once again (I bought three books related with Henry VIII) the contents were the expected, the conditions in wich I received the book were perfect, and in a very reasonable lapse of time

5.Gandhi and Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our AgeGandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age
from Bantam
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
This book is a mediocrity at best. An interesting idea that never comes to fruition. The author's understanding of Gandhi is embarrassingly limited. Although, those interested in either men will find stories perhaps untold in existing history books or biographies. There is the seed of a great idea... more info

6.The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire: Churchill, Roosevelt, and the Birth of the Pax AmericanaThe Last Thousand Days of the British Empire: Churchill, Roosevelt, and the Birth of the Pax Americana
from Bloomsbury Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
This book is a splendid achievement. In it, Peter Clarke, former Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, examines the last thousand days of the British Empire (1944-1947) in its personal as well as in its economic dimensions. Demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of the facts and macaulayan narrative... more info

Steven Johnson's book, The Ghost Map, tells the story of how a doctor, John Snow, and a local minister, Henry Whitehead, worked together to combat an outbreak of cholera in their London neighborhood. They did so by conducting on the spot investigation which allowed them to demonstrate that the... more info

8.The Life of Elizabeth IThe Life of Elizabeth I
from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
I read this book as part of my interest in the Shakespeare authorship question. It was my first biography of Elizabeth, so I can't presume to compare to others. But I have read some other Tudor/Elizabethan history. I found Weir's book engaging, informative, relevant to my own interests, and... more info

9.ThunderstruckThunderstruck
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
It is interesting how much literary artifice underlies this book. The mere synchrony of the arrest of the murderer Dr. Crippin on shipboard facilitated by Marconi wireless becomes the rationale for a book which switches back and forth between the story of Dr. Crippin, his life, eventual deed, and... more info

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:

World War One brought about the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Middle East. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine (including a somewhat conditional Jewish Homeland), and the Transjordan were carved out mainly by the British. Turkey established itself as a separate... more info
