Robert Moses and the Fall of New York - The Power Broker

Review:Many years ago a power-hungry man, with the biggest ego ever seen in recent times, decided to build a freeway (the Brooklyn/Queens Expressway) right THROUGH my neighborhood. This was done to many dozens of other little enclaves all over New York City. He ruthlessly ordered many people to move-out so that his highways could be built and he destroyed many communities by spliting ethnic enclaves right in two. He also had the audacity to build his highways all along the waterfront just because of h... Read more

The Rise and Fall of Jack and Bobby - The Kennedy Brothers
The Rise and Fall of Jack and Bobby - The Kennedy Brothers

Review:In my youth, I worked in John Kennedy's presidential campaign and Robert Kennedy's senatorial campaign. This book is written by someone who had real, inside connection to both brothers. His knowledge is also supported by professional study. He describes the real men, warts and all, not the icons. I recognize the men I knew. Nothing diminishes my respect for them. Read more

Frontline U.S. Army Nurses in World War II - And If I Perish

Review:A gripping book!

The authors keep you turning page after page as you follow in the footsteps of the U.S. Army nurses of World War II.

Haskell was shocked to see tall men disappear up to their necks in the Mediterranean. She watched as two of the shorter nurses in her party followed the soldiers and san... Read more

The Secret History of Wonder Woman
The Secret History of Wonder Woman

Review:I listened to the Fresh Air podcast about this book (titled after the book itself) and loved hearing about this largely unknown aspect of Wonder Woman. Shortly after I decided to find a full book because I wanted to learn even more. The writing style of this book was so horrible that I didn't make it more than 3% before giving up. Save your money and listen to the free podcast featuring the author rather than wasting money here. Sentences felt poorly constructed and awkward. I couldn't even foll... Read more
