1.Charlie Wilson s War: The Extraordinary Story of How the Wildest Man in Congress and a Rogue CIA Agent Changed the History of Our TimesCharlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of How the Wildest Man in Congress and a Rogue CIA Agent Changed the History of Our Times
from Grove Press
Price: $10.46

Customer Review:
I read the book after I had seen the movie (which was a lot of fun) to find out more about what really happened. Well, I did find out, but was quite disappointed.
The book was not nearly as enjoyable as the movie. This was not because it was too political-analytical (I can handle... more info

3.The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (Caldecott Honor Book)The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (Caldecott Honor Book)
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
Imagine a life where you could only draw what the government said you could draw. A life where you couldn't listen to music or read books of your own choice, you couldn't grow your hair long, and you were asked to report your parents if they said anything negative about the government.
This was... more info

4.Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America s EnemiesBlacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies
from Crown Forum
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Unlike all other histories of the period, including a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Evans thoroughly documents every one of his assertions. No innuendo, no truisms, nothing to be taken on faith. It turns out that McCarthy was not evil, he was just honest and happened to be right. The... more info

5.The New Cold War: Putin s Russia and the Threat to the WestThe New Cold War: Putin's Russia and the Threat to the West
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
The author describes step by step how freedom was curtailed. How Russia is moving backward. How they have in the end not looked to the West but to their Soviet and Tsarist past for a model. How the Kremlin has created a system of "authoritarian bureaucratic capitalism" in which economic stability is... more info

6.All Hands Down: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS ScorpionAll Hands Down: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS Scorpion
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
The only factual information I gleaned from "All Hands Down" was from the interviews with the family members and friends of the Scorpion crew. The real "facts" pictures and documentation surrounding the Scorpion's demise essentially illiminate any type of torpedo explosion either their own or... more info

7.Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of LockheedSkunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
This book is very much of its time, and has to be regarded as such. I was forced to read this for work by an over zealous client. I gritted my teeth to the end. Yes, on one level it is fascinating as a piece of history. Even I quite enjoyed the history of the U2 and Blackbird, which I vaguely... more info

9.The Cold War: A New HistoryThe Cold War: A New History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
There is a crying need for new histories of the Cold War based on revelations, especially from Soviet sources, but also from declassified American material released since the end of the period. This is not it. Covering the 40+ years in less than 300 pages implies some superficiality, but Gaddis'... more info

from Grove Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
It's hard to describe Charles Frazier's debut novel, as it's like nothing else I've ever read. The only other book that I've ever had trouble reviewing has been the The Complete Conversations with God (Boxed Set), a series that makes for a rather awkward comparison considering it belongs in another... more info
