Review:Amity Shlaes' Forgotten Man is as important a book as Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz's Monetary History of the United States for describing the Great Depression and the various personalties and policies meant to save the economy that only exacerbated the decline. The author writes well with a sense of discovery and without an agenda. I learned a lot reading this book and it is what made me so eager to read her next book, Coolidge. Read more

Review:Could not s top reading this true-life ordeal. Alistair is a survivor of the worst that a man can do to another human being. This is a must read for we must -- like the holocaust -- never forget what really happens in war. Read more

Review:A harrowing, unforgettable trip into hell and back. A must-read for anyone mildly interested in the Eastern Front or seeing the war through German eyes. While not a completely historically accurate account, it was never intended to be a scholarly, historical reference. It is certainly authentic, however, and deeply personal and insightful. I cannot recommend this book enough. You will not get to the final pages unscathed and sharing in some tiny way Guy's grief, misery, disillusion, and trauma. Read more

Review:The book has so much less than meaningful detail that it is difficult to see the story and its salient facts. I doubt very much if the preponderance of the detail was based on recorded events. Whether it was or was not, its inclusion was beyond unnecessary It was superfluous and distracting. Read more

Review:This is a very interesting book and easy to read. It details the Lord's gracious hand of protection and provision to one family, who held to their convictions in the midst of WWII's evil and chaotic turbulence. The only warning I would give readers is to be careful not to use this book as a promotion for the Seventh Day Adventist Church or for legalistic behaviors, such as keeping the sabbath or abstaining from certain foods which you yourself have not been convicted by the Lord to do. (If yo... Read more

Review:While Balkan Ghosts certainly provides a lot of factual information for the reader, it ultimately fails to offer a creative assessment of the region, its troubles, and its future. One can learn much of the more macabre aspects of Balkan history by reading Kaplan's book, but not a real understanding of the "whys" behind the grisly detail. For example, while Kaplan often describes religious sites, personalities and historical events, he fails to analyze the critical role that religious fai... Read more

Review:Ever since this book was first released it has done nothing but benefit the Christian community with its simple illustrations and descriptions of Biblical topics. This is a must-have for every Christian home and especially for those who study the Bible in depth. This is an amazing book by an amazing man who will educate all who plunge into this material. I strongly recommend this book! Read more

Review:Real page turner that provides an insightful historical overview into the creation of ISIS. Makes you realize how a small minority of extremists have hi-jacked a religion to further their own off-base ideology. In many ways the things that are happening in American politics are playing right into their hands. Read more

Review:The first book was great and I absolutely loved it. The 2nd book unfortunately I didnt like that much and it was a bit of a re-hash of the first one. Last book was quite scary but well worth the read! Read more

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I started out knowing very little about Churchill. I mean I knew the basic stuff but he was so much more. The author gives great insight on Churchill at different times of his life. It reads like a novel that keeps the reader interested throughout the book.

I utilize customer reviews heavily when I am trying to decide on a purchase and consider reviews a valuable tool for us as consumers to make informed choices as to where we spend our money. Sometimes I... Read more
