History: Report From Ground Zero

Published: 2002; Pages: 366; Rating: Good
I looked for quite a while on Amazon.Com for a comprehensive book covering the events of September 11th, 2001. It has been a few years now since this world changing event and I had not read a single book covering the details yet. You would think it would be difficult to choose between the many titles available, but I discovered that an overall narrative of the event was actually difficult to find. Believe it or not. Lots of books were listed about individual pieces of that day and surrounding events, but not the one overall ‘Complete 9/11” book.

History: The Making of Europe
by Christopher Dawson
|
|
Published: 1932; Pages: 274; Rating: Poor
Someone at work with whom I was having a political argument loaned me this book to read. After thumbing through it before diving in, it appears to have been one of his textbooks in college, and you know how dry those kind of books can be. This was certainly no exception. This was about as tough a read as trying to sew with a tire iron.

History: Keeper of Genesis
by Robert Bauval & Graham Hancock

Published: 1997; Pages: 396; Rating: Average
I bought this book at a book store in India once during a three week stay with not much to do on the weekends. They actually had a little coffee shop inside the store just like you find in a Barnes & Noble, but maybe on a little smaller scale. Most of the selections were paperbacks as is this book, but they had some new edition hardbacks as well, just not very many. For example, the Bill Clinton biography “My Life” had just been released while I was in India and they had it in stock shortly after the USA stores received it.

History: ''Murder In Brentwood''
by Mark Furman
|
|
Published: 1997; Pages: 392; Rating: Good
It would be interesting to see a poll taken now years after the event to see what percentage of people believe O.J. Simpson was guilty of murder. The murder of his wife and the murder of a friend of hers that happened to be on the premises when O.J. pulled his knife out and started cutting throats. I wanted to see Mark Furman’s side of the story after watching the trial so long ago and seeing it won not on the physical evidence presented by the defense, but instead by the defense pulling out the race card in large part by the door opened by Furman. And also because there was no other possible way to defend O.J.

History: ''Gods and Generals''
by Jeff Shaara
|
|
Published: 1996; Pages: 498; Rating: Good
Gods and Generals is the sequel to “Gone For Soldiers” and the prequel to the Pulitzer prize winning novel, “Killer Angels.” The former being about the Mexican War that preceded the Civil War and described the various Civil War generals as young men as they were first coming out of their respective military academies. The latter being about Gettysburg. Everytime I see, hear, or write the word “Gettysburg” small shiver and sharp memories run down my legs. If you have never been to the Gettysburg battleground or have never read your history about this battle, it is simply a must do thing.
