2.The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9 11 (Vintage)The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
It is easy to see how the author won the Pulitzer for this book. It is the definitive account of Al Qaeda's genesis leading up to 9/11. The book is both detailed but also concise and extremely readable. The author has a talent to make these events of non-fiction read like the best thriller novel.... more info

3.The Prize : The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and PowerThe Prize : The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power
from Free Press
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
Kind librarians should consider filing The Prize in the "Reference" section as a clear warning to readers. Yergin's book is a laboriously impressive volume of forgettable details by one of the oil industry's most gifted analysts. It is not a light bedtime or commuter train friend!

4.The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth CenturyThe Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
This is an exhilirating intellectual tour de force. Ross is the best "describer" of music I've ever read. Music resists being put into words -- they are two very different media. But Ross has the ability to do this -- his descriptions of works I am familiar with is always both precise and exciting.... more info

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Ah, the story of Eddie Chapman; long awaited and finally produced (actually two of them on the same day, but the thrust of "Zigzag" by Booth ruled it out for me.) I had read Masterman's "The Double-Cross System in the War from 1939 to 1945" which gave Chapman six pages, seen the movie... more info

6.The Guns of AugustThe Guns of August
from Presidio Press
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
First, I really enjoyed this book. I believe Tuchman did a masterful job of giving life to the people and events that led to WWI. This book is well worth reading, but only for what it is: half-history, half-literature.
This is not the place to start if you want to understand what led to WWI.... more info

Reading this book is an emotional and stirring event on many different levels. It offers one of the clearest and most succient histories of the period just after the Second World War.

from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Wow!!! I don't have a great attention span but this book kept me glued to its pages. While Rory's adventure to walk from Herat to Kabul in the footsteps of the Emperor Babur is an audacious one, he provides excellent insights into the cultural diversity that Afghanistan is, and the rich heritage... more info

10.The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World OrderThe Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
As an Arab-Canadian, I'm pretty much at the forefront of this so-called "clash of civilizations", and the way I see things as it stands, it seems as though there is indeed a 'clash' materializing. However, that is only a superficial gut feeling, the same feeling the respect Dr. Sam Huntington... more info
