Customer Review:
Eventhough with the majority of biographies you always know the ending, I still cried a little at William Shawcross's description of the Queen Mother's funeral in the final pages of his fascinating book on her life.

3.ChurchillChurchill
from Viking Adult
Price: $12.42

Customer Review:
I've become more and more interested in the life of Churchill. Over the last two months, I've read Winston Churchill, CEO: 25 Lessons for Bold Business Leaders by Axelrod, and started Warlord: A Life of Winston Churchill at War, 1874-1945. Johnson's brief tome was a welcome respite from Warlord.more info

Customer Review:
My grandmother always used to say that "truth is stranger than fiction." It took me many years to appreciate that statement.

Customer Review:
There have been only two books in the sixty years that I have been reading that I could not finish, and this is one of them, and it is the worst of the two.

from HarperLuxe
Price: $15.96

Customer Review:
This is a great book. I learned a lot about the Battle of Britain. It's not a pilot story with dog fights on every page, but more about the overal Strategy, production problems, important players, and how a relatively few fighter planes, not bombers like most thought, would keep britain safe.more info
