2.Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns AmericaBecause They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America
from St. Martin's Press
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
Every citizen of the United States should read Brigitte Gabriel's book "Because They Hate". It will open the eyes of everyone and help them understand the enemy we are fighting. The American mind cannot grasp the evilness and the mindset of our enemy because we are a culture of life not death. These... more info

3.Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeBenjamin Franklin: An American Life
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
If you want to learn about Ben Franklin this is a fine read. If you want to be entertained try something else. Isaacson's style is ponderorus and lacks energy and flow. Who would have thought that Franklin's wonderful life could be recounted in such boring detail.

4.[no image]Brave Companions: Portraits in History
from Prentice Hall Trade

Customer Review:
All writers, especially biographers and journalists, have a collection of vignettes in their notebooks or files that are like film outtakes -- they're left on the cutting room floor. Here, McCullough gathers up his outtakes relating to fascinating people, places and things and puts them together in... more info

5.The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to FreedomThe Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom
from The Lyons Press

Customer Review:
The Long Walk is one of the greatest books I have ever read. The decades long battle over its authenticity is, I think, a testament to its power. Only a work of literature that brings such palpable reality to the reader could have withstood the firestorm of controversy surrounding it from so many... more info

This book is a well-written story about how scientists and engineers figured out how to navigate the globe. It is a story that was well known in its day and forgotten within 50 years.

9.[no image]Autobiography (Twelve-Point Series)
from North Books
Price: $25.00

Customer Review:
I have read this book myself at least twice. This book was purchased as a graduation present for a nephew. I wish someone had made me read this book at the age of 13. Franklin is quite the character. There are a lot of controversies surrounding his life, but for the purpose of instruction, I prefer... more info

10.A Man Without a CountryA Man Without a Country
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Vonnegut breezes through turn-of-the-century American life in aphoristic, often curmudgeonly free-association. While the inkwell of cantankerous wit hasn't run dry, this book is a bit of an exercise in redundancy; the contained thoughts and criticisms are better developed in his later works,... more info
