1.A Good Clean FightA Good Clean Fight
from Cassell
Price: $4.87

Customer Review:
...and I don't say that lightly. I think Robinson's PIECE OF CAKE is flat-out one of the best books I've ever read, and as this book was billed as a sort-of sequel, I was all too eager to lay my mitts on it. Now I wish I hadn't bothered. Here's why.
CAKE It followed the lives of the men of the... more info

2.PIECE OF CAKE (FICTION) (Cassell Military Paperback)PIECE OF CAKE (FICTION) (Cassell Military Paperback)
from Cassell
Price: $152.75

Customer Review:
Just a comment about the reviews of this great book. Without rehashing the accolades and criticisms: If you think the character portrayal was disrespectful to "the Few," you have obviously, never spent any time in a tactical aviation unit. The dynamics of the young pilots' relationships with each... more info

3.Goshawk SquadronGoshawk Squadron
from Da Capo Press
Price: $8.55

Customer Review:
This book ranks with "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Das Boot" and many others as an illustration of the fact that war is humankind's worst activity. You are led to empathy with most of the characters, yet their lives are ultimately wasted in the meatgrinder. Commanding officer Woolley tries... more info

4.An Introduction to Abstract Algebra (De Gruyter Textbook)An Introduction to Abstract Algebra (De Gruyter Textbook)
from Walter de Gruyter
Price: $41.40

Customer Review:
The first thing to not about this book is that it is dense. In my abstract algebra course we covered chapters 3-5 in an entire semester. However, it contained every proof we needed in class, and although it reads slowly, it was usually crystal-clear. Especially good is its treatment of group... more info

from Cassell

Customer Review:
A story of the RAF Bomber Command in the early days of World War 2. The fictional 409 Squadron starts out in Hampdens (which the Germans shoot down in droves on daylight bombing missions until they are scrapped) and then switch to Wellingtons for night ops, flying deep into Occupied Europe on a... more info

7.WAR STORY (FICTION) (Cassell Military Paperbacks)WAR STORY (FICTION) (Cassell Military Paperbacks)
from Cassell

Customer Review:
WAR STORY is Derek Robinson's masterpiece. It is better than PIECE OF CAKE, which was filmed in 1988 for LWT, and it is better than GOSHAWK SQUADRON, which was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1971. It is simply an excellent novel every bit the equal of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT or... more info

8.[no image]Military Classics Collection
from Cassell
Price: $2.00

Customer Review:

I see that I bought this set of boxed trade paperbacks in January, 2004, having many other Cassell as well.
Book by book this may not seem to be the 'best' selection of WWII books available but yet is upon inspection a remarkable and readable selection of Cassell Military Classics.more info

from Enslow Publishers, Inc.
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
The book is great for kids who are interested in baseball in general, not just in Derek Jeter. It traces the development of a great career of a person who is a wonderful role model for kids.
