1.Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeBenjamin Franklin: An American Life
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
It was a pleasure to read a true perspective of this founding father. This book made him more human than history has made him in the past. The author did a fantastic job in trying to explain why he was the way he was and painted a vivid description of the life and times. On the other hand, I have... more info

from Random House
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
Crowley does a very good job of putting the struggle for the Mediterranean into its historical context. Reading his book allows you to see how the Christian West struggled against 'the Evil Empire' of a different era. I got this book from audible.com (a division of amazon) as a full-length audio... more info

from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:

I was taken aback when, within the first chapter, the author noted how Alaric (the Goth) had difficulty keeping his Huns (no kidding) from sacking Rome. I wanted to give Manchester the benefit of a doubt, but within the first chapter he totally neglected factual content in favor of... more info

from William Morrow
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
This book begins with a lot of technical stuff. If you majored in Latin to avoid taking math, don't give up, just turn the pages. About the third chapter it gets really interesting and fun to read. It is filled with extraordinary bits of information that will delight you.

There's no denying the simple... more info

Customer Review:
This book manages to inform, illuminate and irritate: a good example of the process of educating. I enjoyed most aspects of the book: the information is well-presented and the language is clear and concise.
