Quick! How many books have you read on James Knox Polk (1795-1849) our eleventh President of the United States?

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $7.00

Customer Review:
Too bad Faulkner isn't still alive. When he said "The past isn't really dead. It isn't even past," he could have been talking about this marvelous book. Though the world it depicts is obvious long gone, Meacham's vivid writing and the way he explores universal themes of trust and betrayal, power and... more info

from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $15.65

Customer Review:
Although the author belabors some points, as though she is facing a jury, I have found this book to give me a much clearer understanding of what life in slavery was like. It has also helped me better grasp why it was not abolished earlier.
It is also fascinating as a history of the Hemmingses,... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $20.99

Customer Review:

This is probably the best one volume civil war history there is. I'm giving it one star only so that this review appears alongside some of the genuine one star reviews. As far as I can tell, pretty much all the people who don't like the book object to its political position: it isn't... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $15.18

Customer Review:
Why McCullough chose to write a book on such an unpromising subject - Roosevelt's childhood and early years - is a great mystery. There is very little of interest in the childhood years and that part of the book is mercilessly padded out with endless descriptions of houses, furnishings and distant... more info

from Regan Books

Customer Review:
I couldn't help comparing the book unfavorably with Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's "A Midwife's Tale," which juxtaposes the actual journal entries of a late-18th/early-19th-century midwife with the historian's exhaustively researched observations about what these entries tell us about that time and... more info

Having read the Mayflower by Mr. Philbrick some time ago and knowing how he was motivated to write that book, it interested me as to his motivation for this book.
