Quick! How many books have you read on James Knox Polk (1795-1849) our eleventh President of the United States?

2.In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship EssexIn the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $6.52

Customer Review:
I came to this book as a fan of Melville's 'Moby Dick', having recently re-read it and wanting more. That the climax of Moby Dick is taken from an actual incident, and further, that Melville's Ahab might in fact be loosely based on an actual person (the Essex's first mate Chase) is fascinating to... more info

3.Personal Memoirs of U. S. GrantPersonal Memoirs of U. S. Grant
from Dover Publications
Price: $3.98

Customer Review:
Ulysses S. Grant was a humble man, and his book is extremely honest. Readers will be hard-pressed to find one word of embellishment or bragging. While there are many fascinating sections to this book, Grant's explanation of the Fugitive Slave act as the trigger of the war (they made the Northerners... more info

from Lonely Planet Publications
Price: $103.22

Customer Review:
The Lonely Planet books are famous -- and rightly so. This book has great maps and a lot of useful information. It also has some information about transporation schedules -- something that's often hard to pin down even when you're fluent in Spanish, as I am. The cultural information it contains is... more info

5.Trotsky: Downfall of a RevolutionaryTrotsky: Downfall of a Revolutionary
from Harper
Price: $15.54

Customer Review:
With so much to work from, Patenaude ends up turning this into a book report style overlong newspaper article. Much of the story is repetitive and is reported from different angles like a "Rashamon" story. The main problem is that little of his early life is exposed except for brief anecdotes that... more info

Customer Review:
First, I would draw your attention to two excellent reviews of this book, one in the May 29, 2008 /NYRB/ by Larry McMurtry and the other in the Dec. 2008 /American Historical Review/ by Gerald Betty. I think McMurtry's review sums it up best: This book contains many valuable insights into Comanche... more info

I'm a Texas native living in Georgia. This book not only let me recreate many tastes from my childhood, but it also gave me the fascinating histories behind many of those nostalgic flavors. When I first received this book, I literally sat down and read it cover to cover. From the old Frito Bandito... more info
