"Always worth finding out where an iconic movies/tv creation started. This is an entertaining read and is well worth the time to do so."

Black Cat Raiders of World War IIby Richard Knott
Reviewed on Jun 20 2009
"Good account of the information. Not for the casual reader, but if you study WW2 or aviation this is a good read. Piloting these planes in the dark with primitive radar was a real test. "

Commandos and Rangers of World War IIby James D. Ladd
Reviewed on Jun 20 2009
"While this is a fairly comprehensive look, the author does make it all seem a little bland. Given the nature of the operations covered that may sound strange. The part best covered was the work done by the beach survey teams swimming in from subs to gather data on potential landing sites. The appendices are a great resource for serious WW2 readers."

Economics in One Lessonby Henry Hazlitt
Reviewed on Mar 20 2008
"Probably the clearest presentation of econ that you could want. Because it depends on the fundamentals, it is not dated nor will it become so. It is well organised and complete."

"If you want a straightforward explanation of economics, this is it. Very readable, and does not bog down. If you need to supplement your childs public education in economics, this will do it."

Dreadnoughtby Robert K. Massie
Reviewed on Jul 16 2007
"If you want to learn about Europe leading up to the Great War, this book will provide an excellent starting point. It is well written and thorough, typical Massie. The author does an excellent job of bringing to life the major British and German figures and their interconnection.
If you you care to round out the period, add "The Proud Tower" and "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman and you will be well informed about a period seldom seen in a US public school classroom."
