The Death of the Nazi Regime and the World's Most Notorious Dictator
The Death of the Nazi Regime and the World's Most Notorious Dictator

Review:As usual O'Reilly's books are full of interesting facts and personnel stories. Major part of the book surrounds the battle of the bulge and how it affected the defeat of the 3rd Reich. Full of archived photos that have brief descriptions. I wish that he would have gone a bit further describing how Berlin was divided with the Allies and Russians, east and west. The last part of the books goes on to describe what happens to the main players after the war ended. i.e., the generals and others. Read more

The True Story of the Final Combat Mission of World War II
The True Story of the Final Combat Mission of World War II

Review:I literally couldn't put this book down until I finished it! ...It's that good. Not only does it chronicle the events of Jerry Yellin's remarkable journey but Don Brown provides the reader with a fabulous synopsis of the events leading up to and through the War in Japan. It includes many eye-opening unsanitized truths about the brutality of war and in many cases the teenagers that fought in it. Winston Churchill said it best, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many t... Read more

After Long Silence: A Memoir

Review:This book was received on time and in good condition. This was my second try at getting this rare Tepper book so I was glad to get it. My first buy was cancelled and I had to protest to get my money back. It pays to notice the buyers ratings on each seller. Read more

and the Conquest of Everest - The Great War

Review:Very interesting and exhaustively researched treatise on the early exploration of Everest, with comprehensive coverage of the historical and political context. The only downside is that it can be pretty hard keeping mental track of all the players and their back stories. Read more

Confession of a Buddhist Atheist
Confession of a Buddhist Atheist

Review:I was very disappointed with this book because it is primarily a treatise on the life of the Buddha, almost in mind-numbing detail, rather than a detailed treatment of why the author has gotten to the particular stage that he has in his spiritual development. The title of the book is "Confession of a Buddhist Atheist" but very little is devoted to that topic. Most of the book discusses facts surrounding the buddha's life, much of which I found to be superfluous and quite frankly boring. But t... Read more

The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism
The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism

Review:I have read almost every major book on this subject, Dawkins, Harris, Barker etc. and thought I would be reading redundant information. I was pleasantly suprised at the content as well as the way David Mills writes. I wish this book could replace every bible ever printed and it should be mandatory reading for anyone befor taking a leap of FAITH. Execellent book Mr. Mills. I wish you where my neighbor so we could chat and you could help me write a best seller. Good on you my friend,PEACE. Read more

A New Look at England’s Most Notorious Queen - The Creation of Anne Boleyn
A New Look at England’s Most Notorious Queen - The Creation of Anne Boleyn

Review:This book is very interesting facts about Anne Boleyn, but is very dry and reads like a historical thesis. I am slowly reading through it as I am supposedly a distant relative of hers on the Howard side. Susan seem to be really wanting to get out the facts about Anne rather than hearsay which has previously been written and I praise her for that, but it is a slow read. Read more

Days on the Road: Crossing the Plains in 1865
Days on the Road: Crossing the Plains in 1865

Review:This book was just what I needed this autumn. It made me want to take a trip West in a covered wagon or on a pony. The author does a superb job of making the reader feel part of the journey West. I like a diary or memoir book that is first hand story. I felt the tension as the wagons forded the rivers. I felt the danger as the travelers feared the Indians. I felt the sadness as graves along the way were seen and markers read. I felt the happiness when the people came together for a big me...
