Anthony Beevor is a great historian.
I have read all his books,but this one is very special to me as it happened in Normandy,where I,partly, grew up. I am very familiar with all the small towns,villages and hamlets mentionned in the book . I have travelled the small roads in a region which is... more info

Customer Review:
This is excellent history demonstrating the friendship of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette as well as the connections between the American and French Revolutions.
Gaines shows us how much the French Revolution was a result--primarily economic--of the American and the book flows... more info

4.The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled ItThe Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It
from HarperBusiness
Price: $11.48

Customer Review:
I could only get about 1/4 of the way through the book. The author repeatedly uses words and phrases like "must have", "surely", and "probably".
Either write a novel, or write a biography. If there's simply not enough material for a biography, don't waste my time.

from Scribner
Price: $13.73

Of this book's many fine qualities, the author's great gift of creating canopy stands out.

from Bantam
Price: $14.89

Customer Review:
This book was very interesting until the last 60 pages, the rest was boring which is about his life being in jails for debt and treason and constantly running around trying to find someone to finance his exploring these parts are plain boring.

8.Rashi (Jewish Encounters)Rashi (Jewish Encounters)
from Schocken
Price: $12.66

Customer Review:
I specifically chose this title as an introduction to Rashi, knowing that it would not be a full biography. Having said that, other titles in the series have gone in to more depth about the subject's background and influence (especially if background information is sparse, as with Rashi). Overall I... more info

9.[no image]The Communist Manifesto
from Harlan Davidson
Price: $1.64

Customer Review:
Karl Marx could have made a fortune in the film industry with his brothers. Instead he decided to capitalise upon his crazy idea that people should all be equal. This is nonsense. In life there are people who are rich and people who are poor. People who are tall and people who are short. People who... more info

Dominique Lesbros annoys me.
I've been to Paris a gazillion times, lived there for months, get around without a map. I not only have favorite restaurants, I have favorite dishes at them. I'm looking right now at a concert stub from a top-ten-ever Bruce Springsteen concert at the Bercy Arena.... more info
