1.1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War
from Yale University Press
Price: $21.45

Customer Review:
This mostly military chronicling of the first Arab-Israeli war, is a difficult read, because the prose is so dense and full of almost arcane military details. It is hard to get ones hands or head around the larger picture. I, for one was hoping for a much more coherent and self-contained piece, with... more info

3.The Great War and Modern MemoryThe Great War and Modern Memory
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
Another must-read for anyone interested in great literature. From the sublime to the mundane, Fussell is most fascinating. This can be a fairly quick read -- perhaps a long weekend for most, but then you will find yourself returning to re-read certain chapters, and it will definitely end up on your... more info

from University Press of Kansas
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:
A very good reading indeed. Citino's idea to trace the origins of German art of war back through the centuries is very original and finally brings it all into place. After finishing this book, I immediately bought his German Way of War and enjoy it even more.
Why only 4 stars? Well, I took one... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
The Great Escape by Kati Marton. The book is about the lives of amazing Jewish Hungarians who fled Hitler and impacted the world. The character that I enjoyed reading about was Leo Szilard because he was one of the scientists that help create the atom bomb. The book also references the dramatic poem... more info

from Touchstone
Price: $10.17

Claude Brown's slightly fictionalized autobiography recounts his childhood and early adulthood throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Manchild in the Promised Land also documents the changing atmosphere of Harlem and the people it affected. Brown tells stories of himself as a hell-raiser, involved in theft... more info

Customer Review:
It's hard to imagine sometimes and easy to forget that once America was truly transformative as a nation. Through the Marshall plan, we saved Europe from the grip of crippling poverty and the encroach of Communism. In many ways, as this book points out, the Marshall plan was the very best of America... more info
