Review:Moorehead's accounting of the French resistance people, and especially the young women, is heart-breaking. It is hard to believe that the world went through such a horrible experience. The descriptions of the death camps by those who survived are not sugar-coated. Moorehead gives such detailed descriptions, as told by the women who lived through it, the reader fully grasps the horror. Read more

Review:The book arrived in perfect condition and I was impressed with the service from Amazon. Unfortunately I found the story line disappointing. At some points in the book her story contradicts itself and has grown to enormously ridiculous proportions.

It is amazing how my students reacted... instead of rage they have displayed a loving gesture: they have been taking a minute of silence in the beggining of each of my classes... to remember those who did and did not survive Auschwitz. Read more

Review:Very readable, revealing, and applicable to the times we live in. I loved "What's So Amazing About Grace?", and thought "Vanishing Grace" was just as valuable. Yancey writes in a style that flows as it reveals. Read more

Review:The Durants succeed again in encapsulating the 17th century in Europe. They label it as the landmark century intellectually and scientifically and there is much truth to their assessment: the 18th Century, the "Enlightenment" and "Aufklarung" usually takes pride of place given the American and French Revolutions that dominated them and the general retreat of superstition and obscurantism that marred both Catholicism and Protestantism in the previous centuries. The Durants clearly show that all... Read more

Review:Fascinating primer on the founding of Islam and the complex history of people and thought that followed. If you read nothing else, read the final chapter for a take on Islam that you won't find in popular media. A must read. Read more
