Customer Reviews and Description The Color of Water by, James McBride The Color of Water by, James McBride, was a book that I thought I wouldn't care to read this summer, but it unquestionably wasn't. this book affected me greatly because, it made me understand how other people get affected because they are different. While reading The Color of Water, I noticed how it related to another book that I had read. It reminded me of To Kill a Mocking Bird. All of the racial conflicts are similar against people that ...

by: Diarmaid MacCulloch List Price: $34.95 Amazon.com's Price: $23.77 You Save: $11.18 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description While I have had a long-term love of history, my understanding of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries has always been sketchy and superficial. It went something like this: (1) the Catholic Church allowed people to buy their way into heaven (via indulgences); (2) this made Martin Luther mad so he challenged the church by nailing his position on the door of the church (and he also wanted to get married) and so did John Calvin; (3) Henry ...

by: Samuel P. Huntington List Price: $27.00 Amazon.com's Price: $18.36 You Save: $8.64 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Back in 1993, Huntington's seminal article in Foreign Affairs "The Clash of Civilizations" was prescient about the violent clash between Islam and the West. It better explained the causes of 9/11 than most books written after 9/11! Now, Huntington's focus has turned inward to the changing identity of American society. He considers that the demographic explosion of Mexicans within the U.S. is causing a Clash of Civilizations within our borders. This is not going to be a destructive clash as the ...

by: JAMES BAMFORD List Price: $26.95 Amazon.com's Price: $18.33 You Save: $8.62 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Despite the weighty subject, this book reads like a novel. Some reviewers pan it as a work of fiction. You owe it to yourself to read this book and decide for yourself. James Bamford asserts that the current Bush administration commenced its service with an agenda to topple Saddam Hussein, end involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and rearrange the dominoes in the Middle East. Bamford's premise is that the Bush administration, with the able assistance of its neo-conservatives previously ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: MOLLY IVINS, LOU DUBOSE List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description After reading Molly Ivins first book about George W. Bush, "Shrub", I was hoping I would never have to read another book by her. Not because I don't like Ivins or her writing, but because I was hoping that the book would make people see what a worthless leader Bush would make and not vote for him. Unfortunately, Bush got enough votes to allow the Supreme Court to get involved, and now another book must be written. The great thing about Molly Ivins is that she is able to relate the Bush Administrations ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description This is Robert Baer's second book and it is another essential read for every concerned Western citizen today. His first book "See No Evil" was already shocking enough by demonstrating how security has been risked in the past for the sake of political correctness and other interests. Baer has shown how insane the CIA politics was towards Middle East terrorism and everybody has seen the result on 9-11 and before in 1998 in Africa. His latest book now turns it's attention towards the Pandora's Box ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: David Hackett Fischer List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $24.50 You Save: $10.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description On a number of occasions I have recommended David Hackett Fischer's "Paul Revere's Ride" as one of the finest American history books I have ever read, a display of deep research, perceptive analysis, and a highly compelling prose narrative. With "Washington's Crossing" Fischer has matched his earlier book. Just as the title incident in "Paul Revere's Ride" served to signify Fischer's broader study of the earliest days of the American Revolution and the battles at Lexington and Concord, here Emmanuel Leutze's 1851 painting "Washington ...

Slusser, Valley Center, CA. A new book written by David Ray Griffin, a professor of theology at Claremont School of theology, raises significant and pungent questions about the involvement of the Bush administration in the tragedy now known as 9/11. This book reads like a fine detective novel. Nonetheless, its author has done his research very carefully and it is in the marshalling of the evidence that the suspense is created. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Since I watch The Factor, I figured it would contain anecdotes I was already well aware of. But then I heard Bill O'Reilly say on his show (in response to a negative letter) that it was the best book he's written. That did it, I bought the book, fortunately for me. I was very impressed with it. While it did have the usual apologetics in it, the author did clearly have a mission in writing this book. Some reviewers here are saying his advice is trite. If so, why are there so many people living exactly the opposite ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I'm very happy that mr Norman Davies is writing all those books about Poland.Poland used to be one of the biggest Nations in Europe(for a long time the biggest)yet ,because of the cold war nobody knows much about it's history. I have been studying central european history and was always amazed how little people knew about country such as Poland.When it comes to Poland's role in WW2 it must be one of the most underrated.Poles fought in pretty much every major campaign(look at the 303 squadron in battle of Britain)their AK(Home Army)was one of the ...
