2.A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an AgeA World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
I was expecting a history book. I love history books. This was more of a history story, a fireside tale of history. That's ok -- I can take that. It reminds me of Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose -- about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
While *not* a comprehensive history of the Middle... more info

Alison Weir's well-written, easy to read book about the Six Wives of Henry the VIII is an outstanding work of history about England in the 1500s, Henry's six wives, and the role they play in English politics and international relations with Spain, France and Germany. It is definitely a five... more info

4.HiroshimaHiroshima
from Vintage
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
There are works of fiction and nonfiction that transcend their genres. This is one of those works, one that should be required reading for high school students, or, at the very least, for college students, if it isn't already. The horror that was the A-bomb unleashed unbridled power over the city of... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true.
Maus just captured me.I... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Although I am not Jewish I feel the same as the Jews that Holocaust books MUST be read. I was horrified to learn recently that a 37-year-old cousin did not know what a fascist was. This is NOT okay. Already thing are happening in the U.S. that mirror what happened in Germany before World War II, but... more info

8.Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A TriumphSeven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
from Anchor
Price: $14.28

Customer Review:
Rightfully regarded as a modern classic, this book is nevertheless not light reading. This is a result of the density of information, as well as Lawrence's writing style, which often makes a re-reading of passages necessary to fully grasp them, besides his use of some unusual vocabulary. But by the... more info

from Random House
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
AS the published author of several books about Islamic terrorism I find this book hypnotic in its content, but sadly I had read it in two sittings, I could have read on and on. The history crammed into 300 pages is truly rivetting, and a sad reflection of the struggles we see today in the same parts... more info
