1.Churchill, Hitler, and The Unnecessary War : How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the WorldChurchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World
from Crown
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Buchanan takes most of the good ideas from Niall Ferguson's "The Pity of War" -- you would be better off to read them in the orginal there rather than Buchanan's cribbing and twisted views. Also, Ferguson's views are highly controversial and shouldn't be taken as consensus views from historians. The... more info

from Harper
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
Han Van Meegeren was a mediocre artist with an enormous ego. Convinced that his talents were being maliciously ignored by the Dutch artistic community, he used considerable patience and ingenuity to develop a way of forging paintings by some of the greatest artists of Holland's Golden Age,... more info

3.The Prince (Bantam Classics)The Prince (Bantam Classics)
from Bantam Classics
Price: $4.50

Customer Review:
Machiavelli's "The Prince" is a guide of morality-void techniques for acquiring and maintaining political power and ultimately, political fortune. Written nearly 500 years ago, this blueprint for tyranny is just as relevant today. As his compass, Machiavelli uses history, both ancient and... more info

4.A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an AgeA World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
I was expecting a history book. I love history books. This was more of a history story, a fireside tale of history. That's ok -- I can take that. It reminds me of Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose -- about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
While *not* a comprehensive history of the Middle... more info

from Grove Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

Alison Weir's well-written, easy to read book about the Six Wives of Henry the VIII is an outstanding work of history about England in the 1500s, Henry's six wives, and the role they play in English politics and international relations with Spain, France and Germany. It is definitely a five... more info

6.The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness (Newly Expanded Paperback Edition)The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness (Newly Expanded Paperback Edition)
from Schocken
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I've used Wiesenthal's The Sunflower as a text in college courses several times. On each occasion my original high estimation of Wiesenthal's narrative grows, while my dissatisfaction with the chorus of responses that takes up nearly two-thirds of the latest edition deepens.
Wiesenthal asks... more info

7.Universe of Stone: A Biography of Chartres CathedralUniverse of Stone: A Biography of Chartres Cathedral
from Harper
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
Why would someone write a biography of a BUILDING? Well, if you've ever been to Chartres Cathedral just a few dozen miles south-east of Paris, you'd know why. Chartres continues to provoke us with its emotive power, and its place in the history of Gothic architecture is firmly secured at "page 1" in... more info

8.The Iliad of HomerThe Iliad of Homer
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $11.34

Customer Review:
I love Greek mythology, so this sparked my interest. I had to read it for college and struggled through the first portion of it since it dealt with every man who was dying on the field. A brief description was given for each man. These were not the main characters so I didn't really care, but the... more info

"Makers of Modern Strategy" is a scholarly collection of high quality papers on strategy since Machiavelli to the present nuclear age.
