Aleksandr Fursenko, Timothy J. Naftali

W. W. Norton & Company, 1998

The Cuban Missile Crisis' Origins, Events, and Decisions
In 1958, Fidel Castro and his band of guerillas successfully overthrew the despised Batista regime in Cuba. At the time, Castro was a question mark for US policymakers. He actually was invited to visit the US and gave a speech at Harvard. However, his domestic socialist reforms caused consternation in Washington, while the communist affiliations of his leading supporters (e.g. his brother, ...

The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order: 1964-1980

Steven F. Hayward

Three Rivers Press, 2009

Brilliant and long overdue
Hayward's meticulously researched study of the "Reagan Era", actually starting with 1964 and running through 1989 in the 2nd volume is a beautiful piece of historical work. He points out many little-known events that liberal historians simply choose to leave out (rather than attempt to answer) but shows all the warts as well. Very readable. One only hopes that he intends to keep writing.

Great Gift
I bought this book for my Grandson for Christmas. He loves Mustangs and loves this book. Of course he didn't understand the history of these cars and this book was a great help.

A Turning Point in Baseball & American History
David Halberstam's masterpiece depicts a remarkable scenario for baseball & American society as well; the Yankees' dynasty was beginning a twelve year hiatus & the upstart Cardinals were coming into their own, bringing with them a style of play that would be emulated by the rest of the National League for another 20 some odd years; manifested by its domination in All-Star play over that time ...

They Finally Got It Right
A good addition to this series. The only let-down is that we're seeing more and more strips that have already been collected in other Peanuts books. It was bound to happen though, so I'm not knocking off a star for this. There are two real gems to this book. One is the story where Linus (my absolute favorite Peanuts character) runs for class president. I'm betting Schultz had a lot of fun ...

National Lampoon 1964 High School Yearbook

Rugged Land, 2005

Brilliant Concept
When this first came out, it was an amazing success. First great conceit: printing the whole thing upside down. The "front cover" is the only page that faces the way it does; all the rest of the piece relates the back cover as the front, which is a beautifully done leatherette high school yearbook cover. And then there's the content. It's all here - the clubs, the class clowns, the ...

State University of New York Press, 1997

A Victory Never to be Relinquished!
Let's get a little fancy here and offer a Gestalt metaphor: from the election of FDR to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the far-from-United States of America fought second Civil War - longer and less bloody than the first but just as profound in its consequences and just as foreordained by Humanity in the inevitable victory of 'justice for all.' In this metaphor, the election of ...
