Eagles: Hell Freezes over (Authentic Guitar-Tab) 303 reviews
Alfred Publishing Company, 1999
Love this
For some reason I was never a big big fan of Eagles back in the 70's. Recently I started listening to them again and absolutely cannot stop playing this video. I have it on in between listening to CNN/MSNBC on the elections. It is a great reprieve from that. Love, love, love it.

Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)69 reviews
Don Felder
Wiley, 2008
An Insight Into A Great Pop Rock Band
Being a 30yr fan of The Eagles and guitarist Don Felder, I had to read his book. This is not a typical trash talking tell all tome. It's more of an introspective of Felder's life and career before and during the Eagles era. He does point out intra-group rivalries, ego and vanity trips, and the constant infighting over equitable shares of the group earnings. No different than any insight into a ...

Red Eagles: America's Secret MiGs (General Aviation)
Steve Davies
Osprey Publishing, 2008
From the late 1960s until the end of the Cold War, the United States Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, culminating in a secret squadron dedicated to exposing American fighter pilots to enemy technology and tactics. Red Eagles tells the story of this squadron from the first tests of MiGs following the Vietnam War when the USAF had been woefully under-prepared in aerial combat. These initial flights would develop into the ...

Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 5) 29 reviews
Naomi Novik
Del Rey, 2008
Another great installment
I thought the book continued the excellent pace, and turned some ideas on its head, making England more like Russia for Napoleon. As for the rest of the spoilers, you'll have to read it yourself.

Once An Eagle105 reviews
Anton Myrer
Harper Paperbacks, 2002
A Moving Experience
When you sit down to read this book by Anton Myrer, you may realize that you are reading one of the most memorable books of your lifetime, even though I found the beginning almost a different, less polished writing style from the rest of the book.
Myrer introduces us to a night clerk who has a gift for leadership and a photographic memory. He joins the infantry in time to search for a Mexican ...

Eagle Against the Sun: The American War With Japan28 reviews
Ronald Spector
Vintage, 1985
Best Single Volume Account of the American War in the Pacific
I read this shortly after the first edition came out. I was taking a year off to travel around the world and I was going to spend a good six months in the South Pacific. Although I had read a lot of history on the war prior to this, I wanted a good general history to tie everything together. I wanted one as in-depth as I could get. From this volume I made again launched into a more detailed ...

The Eagle of the Ninth38 reviews
Rosemary Sutcliff
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1993
Remember it is a Young Adult Novel
Like many others who have written reviews of "Eagle of the Ninth", I read this novel as a teenager and was very impressed by it. I am now middle aged and I can see why the book has sold more than a million copies. Is well written and tightly plotted. Rosemary Sutcliff was a worthy successor to H.E. Henty and the Victorian English tradition of the "Boys Own Adventrue Story". It is sad to see ...

Peter H. Smith
Oxford University Press, USA, 2007
First rate interdisciplinary approach to history.
In this very readable historiacl survey of U.S.-Latin American realations, Smith develops a template which demonstrates the logic of U.S. policy and Latin American response within the context of the global situation. To accomplish this, he breaks history into three general time periods: 1790s-Cold War, The Cold War, and the post-Cold War. In each of these periods, Smith develops the global ...

Game Over (Bill Slider Mysteries)5 reviews
Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
Severn House Publishers, 2008
Bill's back, finally!!
I'll try not to be a spoiler here, but it might be tricky, so be forwarned. I have been waiting for almost four years for the next Bill Slider mystery and, while I won't say it was worth the wait (I HATE waiting!), I will say this book is so very satifying in that some loose ends are tidied up. Bill Slider, a London police Detective Inspector who's trying to balance finding time to marry his ...

The Eagle and the Raven37 reviews
Pauline Gedge
Chicago Review Press, 2007
Enjoyable
The front and back covers of this book are very misleading- it implies that the book is all about Boudicca, but she only really comes into the book in the last hundred pages or so, though she makes brief appearances throughout the story. Most of the book is about Caradoc, who was the first uniter of the native British tribes against the Romans.
I first became interested in the British ...

Great Book
I just received this book and I am very impressed. I have only been playing the guitar for just a short while and still taking lessons. I like the way this book is laid out and easy to follow.

It is ia fun ...

A timeless classic
A book written with this much emotion and character should be read by all ages. Along with all the other books in this captivating series, "Eagle" is truly a work of art. The knowledge behind everything in this book honestly reflects the dedication of the author. Through the author's writing style, I can clearly see the characters thoughts, appearances, and actions.

Simon Scarrow
Headline Book Publishing, 2008
A Brilliant Addition to the Eagle Series
I don't know how Simon Scarrow does it, but this book continues to thrill in his great 'Eagle' Roman military adventure series. The brutality of campaign life and the consolidation of Roman control in Britian is brought to life so vividly in this story, and you find yourself unable to stop reading just to find out how the story ends. A brilliantly written, gripping, and entertaining novel. It's ...
