2.[no image]Rebirth of a Nation: The Making of Modern America, 1877-1920 (American History)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
Lears claims that William James and Henry James were the elder brothers of outlaw Jesse James, which would be a wonderful piece of history if only it were true. It's incredibly disappointing that an "historian" would present this fantasy as fact. And it leaves me wondering how much of the rest of... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $3.71

Customer Review:
I have spend a great amount of time, and I believe rightly so, in drawing out the lessons of the struggle against slavery as they were played out as the great task of the American Civil War of the mid-19th century. I have mentioned, generally in passing, that the other great task of that fight was... more info

from Plume
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
I believe this is one of the better books Ambrose has written. I have read and reread till the pages are falling out. Drawing comparisons to such larger than life characters as Custer and Crazy Horse is no mean feat, especially on the Crazy Horse side.
We have histories (oral traditions) of... more info

from Library of America
Price: $18.47

Customer Review:
A must read for anyone who studies battle tactics, especially Civil War buffs. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered Gen. Sherman's Memoirs, which I just finished and it was equally as good. You have to keep in mind that both of these books are slanted towards the Northern point of view, however it's... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.93

Customer Review:
In this book, David Stewart has reinvented the Andrew Johnon impeachment with new research and a fresh prespective that really puts a new light on the affair. Beyond being a fast, engrossing read, Stewart pokes some very big holes in the stale old bugaboos about this event. He treats Johnson and his... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $0.78

Customer Review:
As you might expect of a book hailed by Larry McMurtry as one of the best treatments of the Great Plains in American history, this book is an elegantly and devilishly plotted story of an elegant and devilish man, George Armstrong Custer. Taking as its central focus the Battle of the Little... more info
