Price: $7.49

Customer Review:
This is excellent history demonstrating the friendship of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette as well as the connections between the American and French Revolutions.
Gaines shows us how much the French Revolution was a result--primarily economic--of the American and the book flows... more info

4.The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled ItThe Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It
from HarperBusiness
Price: $11.48

Customer Review:
I could only get about 1/4 of the way through the book. The author repeatedly uses words and phrases like "must have", "surely", and "probably".
Either write a novel, or write a biography. If there's simply not enough material for a biography, don't waste my time.

from Scribner

Of this book's many fine qualities, the author's great gift of creating canopy stands out.

8.Rashi (Jewish Encounters)Rashi (Jewish Encounters)
from Schocken
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I specifically chose this title as an introduction to Rashi, knowing that it would not be a full biography. Having said that, other titles in the series have gone in to more depth about the subject's background and influence (especially if background information is sparse, as with Rashi). Overall I... more info

9.[no image]The Communist Manifesto
from Harlan Davidson
Price: $1.64

Customer Review:
Today, communism has been given a negative rap, and is even used as an insult. While I might not agree with every idea within Communism, this book was still a fascinating and interesting read. Despite what people today have done to Communism, Mr. Marx had some brilliant ideas in here that in the... more info

10.Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France s Greatest TreasureWine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure
from Broadway
Price: $7.55

Customer Review:
In the first few pages of the book, the authors describe a wine tasting they attended with all of the wilting flowers one expects out of the dullest of wine snobs. It is a rough start, especially for as violent a reverse-snob as me. I have been in and out of the European wine scene since boyhood,... more info
