3.[no image]Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War Ii's Greatest Rescue Mission
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
Honestly, I've never been a WWII history buff - but I might be now. Once I started reading this book (the subject of which I ashamedly knew nothing about beforehand) I absolutely could not put the book down.

from Vintage
Price: $4.87

Customer Review:
A central thesis of Kaplan's book is that the U.S. is now an empire with global reach. I just don't agree with his premise. If we are an empire, we're pretty bad at it. What is true is that the U.S. military has succumbed to "mission creep" with little or no public debate. Why are we training troops... more info

from NAL Trade
Price: $6.88

Customer Review:
Tillman's book on the Marianas Turkey Shoot has great research and great details. It covers the massive air sea battle that marked the end of Imperial Japan's naval aviator forces and I just didn't like the writing style.
Tillman assumes a strange level of knowledge by the reader. For example... more info

Brewer's book tells how presidents have consistently drummed up support for foreign wars by appealing to what Americans want to believe about themselves.
