1.Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent FaithUnder the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Never before have I had to actually turn my eyes from the page because the text/truth was too horrific to read. This book takes you into the lives of the FDLS. It should scare the bejeezus out of anyone that this sort of thing is going on right here in our country. Not to mention the predicted... more info

from Scribner
Price: $24.75

Customer Review:
Perlstein is a scion of the 60s. Through reading a lot of newspapers and mining a lot of television, he has constructed an imaginary world called Nixonland.

3.Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIALegacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
from Anchor
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
For the first two thirds of Legacy, the author applies an agnostic and universal critique of the OSS and CIA. This bumbling agency never really did any intelligence gathering, they were wrong more than right and they were always infiltrated by counter spies. The reader begins to trust Weiner as a... more info

from Random House
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
Boom! Voices of the Sixties by Tom Brokaw is a rather difficult work for me to assess as I have so many mixed emotions concerning this time of change in or country. First, just to let you know where I am coming from, I am extremely liberal in many of my views and extremely conservative on others.... more info

6.Bowling Alone : The Collapse and Revival of American CommunityBowling Alone : The Collapse and Revival of American Community
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I admit I didn't finish the book. I was bored by much of it and read parts here and there. But what I looked for and didn't find was what seems to me to be obvious...We're less social because we're more mobile. Corporations shuttle families around the nation so rapidly that after a few generations... more info

from Naval Institute Press
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
This is a first-rate book. I am delighted I read it. I found it to be touching, informative, funny, and readable.
It also confirms, once again, what I think of those in the American military----they are very good people, and dedicated professionals.
It is not surprising to note that... more info

8.The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed AmericaThe Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
Highly informative, slightly esoteric, and entirely relevant, Hajdu's case study on the hysteria surrounding crime comic-books at the dawn of the Cold War left me with far more questions than answers. While this generally is a sign that an author has breached the innermost walls of my cerebrum and... more info

from Harper
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
"I reject" writes Wilentz at the close of the introduction, "the now fashionable claim that objectivity involves reporting all views or interpretations as equally valid." With that, be assured, all pretense at objectivity is chucked out the window: Wilentz spouts the received liberal cant about... more info

10.The Best and the BrightestThe Best and the Brightest
from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
An excellent review of the origins and causes of the Vietnam conflict and a must read for the serious historian to understand the liberal, leftist viewpoint. To be fair in one's analysis however, the author's views need to be contrasted to a viewpoint from the right. A good comparative work is... more info
