2.Georgiana: Duchess of DevonshireGeorgiana: Duchess of Devonshire
from Random House

Customer Review:
After finishing "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire" by Amanda Foreman, I have come to the conclusion that the flaming youth of the 1770's and 80's were just about as wild a bunch that could be. It seems that the generation of aristocrats who came of age in the decade and a half immediately before the... more info

from Picador
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
The story of a million European slaves in north Africa, as recently as two centuries back, is compulsory reading to understand the muslem rulers' traditional mindset, petty and cruel, as is the Bible for those wishing to understand today's Middle East. It took Wilberforce 20 years in parliament,... more info
