The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin
by Gordon S. Wood
A leading historian of the American Revolution offers an incisive portrait of the complex, often contradictory figure of Benjamin Franklin, a man who was at once the quintessential American and a cosmolitan lover of Europe, a one-time loyalist turned revolutionary, and an ambassador whose French diplomacy, crucial to the American cause, became a source of suspicion at home.

The Gun That Changed the World
Kalashnikov, Mikhail
Oxford, United Kingdom: Polity Press, 2006 175 pages index biblio glossary b/w photos - 'I have often been tempted to relate these episodes from my youth, and each time I abandoned the idea. Could I safely reveal this part of my existence when I was an exile in my own country? My destiny might have been quite different, since people could have decided that the author of these revelations had no right to work in such a secret field as the weapons industry.'Mikhail Kalashnikov - The Russian word that is uttered most often, worldwide, isn't Lenin, Gulag or Perestroika, but Kalashnikov. The reason for this is simple: there are 80 million Kalashnikovs in circulation throughout the world. Kalashnikov himself, who was born in 1919 and invented the famous assault rifle the AK-47, here tells his life story for the first time: his deportation to Siberia with his family while still a child; his time as a soldier in a tank regiment; his invention of the world's most famous weapon and his turbulent life under Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev and Yeltsin.In this brilliant book, Elena Joly has recorded Kalashnikov's story and has taken pains to respect his engaging and colloquial style. In doing so she has put together a fascinating portrait of a man of ingenuity and vitality in the context of the often frightening and terribly unforgiving Russia of the twentieth century.. Reprint. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. ( more information) Offered by Hylands Bookshop (Australia)
