from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

If I were rating Bobby, there aren't enough stars in the heavens to measure how I feel about him. I was 17 when he died, and I don't think I have taken politics seriously since. Even the left of center Democrats I usually agree with on policy seem pale, scheming elitists compared to Bobby. So... more info

Customer Review:
Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of the most powerful most inspired and most read books off all time.

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

from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.77

Customer Review:
Given that this book is essentially covered by the reviews of its primary source "Reclaiming History" from which it is extracted, I can only reiterate the majority view here that this book is well worth reading - especially if you have not the time for the 1700 pages plus of the aforementioned RH.... more info

Customer Review:
Take your Websters dictionary, re-arrange the pages so there is no comprehensible order, place a new binder on it and retitle it "English, the langauage that rocked the world" and you've pretty much accomplished the same thing that this author has. I borrowed the audio book from the local library... more info

Tom Wolfe takes us through part of the acid-movement of the 60's with Ken Kesey (author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") and company as they embark on their journey across America to popularize acid. Wolfe writes in a way that sort of makes you feel that you are on acid too. His writing style... more info

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
I generally don't care for large tomes that hope to explain Hollywood's workings to the general reader--they are often so full of star struck gossip as to be difficult to get through. In the end the stars are usually not that interesting -that's why they have so much machinery to make them stars and... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Robert Kennedy's memoir gives not only a fascinating insight to this critical episode, but it serves as a paradigm for crisis management.
