from Grove Press
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Frantz Fanon's political commentary on colonization is the perfect example of revolutionary literature with a pulse.
It explores the entire ordeal of colonization: from the early pangs of colonized animosity, to armed rebellion, to the destruction of the colonial bourgeoisie, all the way up to... more info

from NYRB Classics
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Alistair Horne is one of the preeminent historians of the 20th Century. I've read several of his books, including the entire trilogy on the three Franco - German wars. I've found each of his books excellent, but this one will always rate as his best - for the complexity of the material that he has... more info

3.Confessions of AugustineConfessions of Augustine
from Hackett Publishing Company
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
Michael P. Foley's "Editor's Preface" to this edition of Confessions contextualizes the translation well. It serves to locate Sheed's translation historically and academically. The "Editor's Preface" also discusses the cover art for this edition. That discussion is not only an insightful description... more info

4.Saint Augustine: A Life (Penguin Lives Biographies)Saint Augustine: A Life (Penguin Lives Biographies)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
It's hard to love St. Augustine. Even as one of the most influential religious thinkers in the history of Christianity--the image of heaven as a holy city, the City of God, was his idea--and as the author of his Confessions, arguably the first confessional biography (and a model for many of the... more info

5.The ConfessionsThe Confessions
from Vintage
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
This is a fresh and wonderful translation of this Christian classic. Sr Boulding is herself a fine poet capable of touching turns of phrase such as, [Book I,5]
"Who will grant me to find peace in you? Who will grant me this grace, that you would come into my heart and inebriate it, enabling me... more info

6.The Confessions of St. AugustineThe Confessions of St. Augustine
from Revell

Customer Review:
For whatever reason, the editor here has seen fit to leave out sections of Augustine's Confessions. What is most annoying is that this book is not clearly marked "abridged". Honest dealing requires this book to be clearly identified for what it is - an abridged, incomplete version of Confessions.

7.The QuestionThe Question
from Bison Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
The Question is, without doubt, the single best argument against torture under any circumstances. It is a brutally true and personal account of a man caught up under the circumstances beyond his control during the Algerian War of Independence. It was a time when the French, desperate to maintain... more info

from Enigma Books
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
First, I must admit I've not read the English translation of this book. I read the 2001 Perrin Edition in French (entitled, "Services Speciaux: Algerie 1955-1957). Nonetheless, assuming the translation accurate, here are my perspectives:
