2.One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear WarOne Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War
from Knopf
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
The new details uncovered by Mr. Dobbs makes this a "must purchase" for anyone genuinely interested in this historical episode.
However, I must admit that, from an entertainment perspective, the first half of this book dragged a bit while the second half was much more riveting.

from International Institute for Ecological Agriculture
Price: $47.00

Customer Review:
This book delves into the kind of information that could help us avoid making the same mistakes over and over. If it can help create awareness of how susceptible the public is to being flim-flammed by the Oil Industry experts and its sycophants imbedded throughout the government and media we could... more info

Slavery By Another Name is a must read for every African American in search of answers about their past. It is a well reaserched book that answers a lot of questions about the seeming inability of African Americans to progress in this wealthy society. It is an important and eye opening work.

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

7.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 Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I found the grammar in this book to be very poor. It was so distracting I had to stop reading. I don't understand how an editor would put a book to print that ends many sentences in dangling participles and others are just fragments that don't even pertain to the paragraph.
In my opinion this... more info

Customer Review:
i think the book could have gone through one more review period/editing, but for the most part it was full of entertaining stories. i dont want to pick it apart for its redundancies, but sometimes the author got carried away with using certain manners of speech, puns, etc. over and over again. also,... more info

from Feral House
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Richard Hoagland has been my hero for many a year, and it is breathtaking to see all this information at last in writing. The disparity between what we're told, and the Truth about Space will make you Gasp. Then it will make you Mad. From statements from the Astronauts, to true history from NASA... more info
