1.The Great Upheaval: America and the Birth of the Modern World, 1788-1800 (P.S.)The Great Upheaval: America and the Birth of the Modern World, 1788-1800 (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Who cares about 1788-1800? After reading this book you'll see the incredible impact on today's world let alone the exciting events and personalities during this incredibly important era. I teach history and found this book enlightening. Insights into the French Revolution and it's impact on Europe... more info

2.The Life and Death of Anne BoleynThe Life and Death of Anne Boleyn
from Wiley-Blackwell
Price: $15.56

Customer Review:
If one is looking for mere entertainment, this is not the book to buy. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" written by Antonia Fraser, which contained only the most necessary historical facts in order to present the six Queens properly.
When I have given Eric Ives' book five... more info

3.The Pursuit of Glory: Europe 1648-1815 (Penguin History of Europe)The Pursuit of Glory: Europe 1648-1815 (Penguin History of Europe)
from Viking Adult
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:
I read a lot, but only rarely - usually when I find a book either supremely odious or sublimely magnificent - do I bother to write a review here on Amazon. I've just finished Tim Blanning's "Pursuit Of Glory," and must record that it is undoubtedly among the finest books I've read in many years. I... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $26.95

Customer Review:
A great book -- I discovered it from my History Book Club, before the great reviews poured in from the critics. I think the New York Times had it as one of its ten best at the end of the year. For all persons interested in women's history, biography, India, Caribbean. Shows how much certain intrepid... more info

5.[no image]Forgotten Patriots: The Untold Story of American Prisoners During the Revolutionary War
from Tantor Media
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
I have had the pleasure of taking Professor Burrows classes at Brooklyn College so I went into this reading expecting not only his great story-telling but a book of thorough research and high calibre and I was not disappointed.
As a historian (and veteran) I had some knowledge of the subject... more info

6.Common SenseCommon Sense
from Broadview Press
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
Thomas Paine's Common Sense did, in fact, make sense. It gave the reasoning as to why the colonies should revolt against the British Empire. Easily a favorite.

7.Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone BeforeBlue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before
from Picador
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

In my research for Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii, I read a dozen accounts of Captain James Cook's deadly encounter with the natives of Hawaii in 1779. This included not only the Captains' journal, but that of seaman, John Ledyard, and that of first mate, Lt. King. When Tony Horwitz... more info

8.The Fatal ShoreThe Fatal Shore
from Knopf

Customer Review:
"The Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes is the one book which is always mentioned when it comes to books about the history of Australia, and for good reason. Hughes' brilliant work covers in great detail the transportation of criminals from England to Australia, and the history of those penal colonies.... more info

9.Napoleon in EgyptNapoleon in Egypt
from Bantam
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
I enjoyed every page of this superb history. In excellent, entertaining prose we are given the reasons and context for this strange expedition, the many personalities involved, and their adventures on the way to Egypt (where they miss being intercepted by the British navy by one day!) We are then... more info

from Mariner Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I hate to be the one that drops the review average, but for a book about pirates it was surprisingly dull. I realize that the very nature of pirates means there is not much archival material to work with other than official documents that are very likely biased, but I came away from this book not... more info
