1.Fin-De-Siecle Vienna: Politics and CultureFin-De-Siecle Vienna: Politics and Culture
from Vintage
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
We are drawn to Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century because of Adolf Hitler, as much as or more than by its own curious modes of art, music, architecture, science, literature, city design and medicine. What a strange brew it was!
Cultural historian Schorske has nothing to say about... more info

2.Five Chimneys: The Story of AuschwitzFive Chimneys: The Story of Auschwitz
from Academy Chicago Publishers
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
This review is based on the original (1947) edition. Let's focus on some seldom-developed issues.
Large numbers of Polish clergy were sent to Auschwitz in the early years of the camp. However, Lengyel reports many more arriving in 1944 (pp. 108-110). They were often put to death immediately;... more info

3.The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg ArchdukeThe Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke
from Basic Books
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
This book has two big problems. The first is that the subject of the book isn't worth a book of this length and depth. The second is that the author often "makes good" the lack of depth in the subject by speculation and theory.
Wilhelm von Habsburg was never a figure of consequence. A mnior... more info

from Helion and Company
Price: $35.97

Customer Review:
The major tank battles on the Hungarian plains fought in late 1944 have been neglected, for some reason, for many years by English-speaking writers. Thankfully, this situation has now been remedied with this excellent book!
The author's text describes in great detail, on a virtually daily... more info

5.Auschwitz: A Doctor s Eyewitness AccountAuschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account
from Arcade Publishing
Price: $11.19

Customer Review:
The problem with this book is that it thrusts a very negative and dark side of life into all that read it. Of course the book carries factual data that needs to be known- but we all must be careful about how obsessed we become with the darkness of humanity. Reading books like this keep the holocaust... more info

6.Seed of Sarah: MEMOIRS OF A SURVIVOR (Illini Books Edition)Seed of Sarah: MEMOIRS OF A SURVIVOR (Illini Books Edition)
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
I could not put this book down once I picked it up. I have read many great books involvong the Shoah and this one stands out. Judith is such a truly a remarkable woman, that it serves as a reminder of how many remarkable lives were lost.

from Yale University Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
THE BOOK WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. WHEREAS I DO USUALLY LIKE SCHOLARLY BIOGRAPHIES, I FOUND THIS ONE TO BE OVERLY SCHOLARLY AND NOT AT ALL ENTERTAINING. I HAVE RETURNED THE BOOK FOR A REFUND.

9.The Siege of Vienna: The Last Great Trial Between Cross and CrescentThe Siege of Vienna: The Last Great Trial Between Cross & Crescent
from Pegasus Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

Rather looks like a turn paper of a quite average-college standard.
Also, the reference index is really not revealing.
So, why?

10.The HabsburgsThe Habsburgs
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
Unlike most histories of the Austian-Spanish-Burgundian-Low Country-Holy Roman Emporers, who were the Habsburgs, this is the story of how they saw themselves (as working for their people at the behest of a Catholic God). Much is made as to how they viewed themselves and how they wanted to be viewed... more info
