1.Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous CrewEscape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew
from Da Capo Press
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
This an unbelievably well-written book that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and I couldn't help wondering what I would have done if I were thrust into a similar circumstance. Calling these guys the Greatest Generation is uttering an understatement.

2.Persepolis Boxed SetPersepolis Boxed Set
from Pantheon
Price: $17.09

Customer Review:
What a fantastic graphic novel! If you normally don't read graphic novels (or comic books), don't be afraid, the pictures won't hurt you and the stories are only enhanced by this format. Buy the box set because the first book will only leave you wanting more.
The books are composed of short... more info

4.The Nightingale s SongThe Nightingale's Song
from Free Press
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
The "Nightingales's Song" is a remarkable story. I know three of the five characters, (McCain, McFarlane, and Webb), and truly admire them all. This book is a great piece of reporting, and is more relevant today than it was when it was first published. Admiral Jim Stavridis, still on the front lines... more info

5.Shah of ShahsShah of Shahs
from Vintage
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
I read this book twice both in Persian & English and found lots of historical errors in the book such as claims that PM Mossadeq was democratically elected back in 1950s which is totally wrong. PM Mossadeq was APPOINTED as PM by the King of Iran, Shah Reza Pahlavi in 1950 and when ordered to... more info

6.The Prince of the Marshes: And Other Occupational Hazards of a Year in IraqThe Prince of the Marshes: And Other Occupational Hazards of a Year in Iraq
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Long before the United States thought of invading Iraq, Bassam Tibi, a Syrian political scientist, wrote that Arabs are not interested in democracy. This was restating the obvious, but not everybody noticed.
And shortly after the invasion was declared a "mission accomplished," a newspaper... more info

7.A History of Iran: Empire of the MindA History of Iran: Empire of the Mind
from Basic Books
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
A plethora of recent books chronicle recent Iranian history (with a particular focus on 1953-today). This book discusses that period, but it does a lot more. The vast majority of the book deals with ancient Iranian history - including tales of epic Persian leaders (Xerxes, Darius) and the wars that... more info

Customer Review:
The author provides both a first hand account of the Shia poltical environment after the fall of Saddam's regime as well as a history of the unique and bitter relationship between the Shia and Saddam that is most interesting for westerners as the author explains not only the conflicts between the... more info

9.On Wings of EaglesOn Wings of Eagles
from NAL Trade
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
After reading _The Pillars of the Earth_ and its sequel, I was doing a little Web research (Wikipedia) on the Perot rescue and found out that Ken Follett had written a book about it: "What luck!" I thought.
I thought wrong. The format of this book is so dry and dull it was almost unreadable. I... more info

10.Guests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis: The First Battle in America s War with Militant IslamGuests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam
from Grove Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Reads like a thriller novel, but is 100% true. If you are completely unfamiliar with the history of Iran from about 1945-1979 you should probably spend at least a few minutes learning about that before reading this book. The book jumps right into the drama of the hostage crisis without providing... more info
