From Victoria's Empire to the End of the USSR - History for the Classical Child

The Gripping True Story That Inspired The Movie - Redemption At Hacksaw Ridge

Review:The real life story of Desmond Doss is story about a true American Patriot who, because of his religion, would not take up arms, but, who also wanted to defend his country against its enemies. This true story chronicles the life of an extraordinary American who engaged in what can only be said to be an unbelievable series of acts of bravery to repeatedly save his fellow soldiers in the face of unimaginable and ferocious firepower which killed and injured hundreds of American soldiers.

The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and The People Who Play It
The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and The People Who Play It

Review:I approached this with a little caution as I somehow never played D&D, probably because I was too busy with my comic books and models of the Enterprise 1701-D. David is an excellent guide for the D&D uninitiated. I imagine that if you were or are an avid player, this is the book for you. If you are not, it's a book that makes you wish you were. He builds the world and tells the story of the culture so well that I felt as left out reading this as I do reading about Seattle Grunge cult... Read more

Review:This is a fascinating story about what it is like to be a civilian in the midst of war. The narrative is clear and candid without being so gruesome or grisly as to turn the reader away. It helps those of us who have never been through such a situation appreciate how fortunate we are and provides excellent insight into the situation of those who are trapped in war-torn parts of the world today.

A Renegade History of the United States

Review:I read this along with Howard Zinn's "Peoples History of the United States". Together, both books "liberated" me from the stock shlock whitewash "patriot" and "lady liberty" tainted history books of my dozen years of schooling Read more

Their Finest Hour (The Second World War)
Their Finest Hour (The Second World War)

Review:" The Gathering Strom " is a very interesting, comprehensive summary of most of the events which led to the beginning of WW II. Discussion of the pre WW II British and European appeasers which emboldened Hitler and directly led to many of the initial Nazis victories before the war as we understand actually began. What I found fascinating was to read the book from the perspective of the British which conflicted with much of what I learned and understood from the American perspective. The book is ... Read more

The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue

Review:you will have a better understand of just how dangerous being involved with the sea is. You will also understand just how the Men (and now Women) of the Coast Guard do their work in all kinds of weather.
