ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ELITE FORCES IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR: Paratroops, Commandos, Rangers, Waffen SS

2 reviews
Michael Haskew

Amber Books, 2007

'Elite' status is determined by performance, not just assigned status alone.
From paratroops and commandos to rangers, this A-Z reference to elite forces of the second world war is a top pick for any serious military collection looking beyond the general overview of troops and battles. The best units from all the major combatant countries are included from both European and Pacific theatres of war in a survey arranged by nation and covering troops and squadrons on all ...

Bravo!!!!
Heather's book was an awesome read. As a writer myself, it was great to read about other literary divas who pave the way for me daily. Heather gave me my first recognition as a writer and I am so happy to see her thriving! Keep up the good work, girl!!!! C. Highsmith-Hooks

Ency Modern Military Aircraft (Encyclopedia)

Amber Books, 2006

Wonderful guide to contemporary military aircraft
Hard to believe this is already out of print, but such is the fate of niche-market books. This one is lavishly illustrated with color and black-and-white photos, line art, and color drawings. It also contains a wealth of material about the development, deployment, and service history of each aircraft. Extensive coverage of the F-15-18, Mirage 2000, MiG 29, Saab Drakken, Viggen, and Gripen, as ...

Fighting For Your Life is the MUST READ BOOK OF THE YEAR!
Fighting For Your Life: The African America Criminal Survival Guide told by John V. Elmore, Esq. and Foreword by a friend of the literary community, Mr. Tony Rose is the most responsible book on the planet.There is something that rang a familiar air of discord as I glimpsed at the chained arms on the cover of Fighting For Your Life: The African America Criminal Survival Guide told by John V. ...

The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt

1 review

Amber Books, 2006

extremely impressive and absorbing
Believe you me, I have more than my fair share of Egyptology works among my considerable collection of historical, archaeological, and anthropological opera. I must say that Strudwick's work impressed me quite deeply, mostly because of its format. Specifically, the material is so beautifully presented that one can open the book to just about any of the several hundred two-to-four-page spreads and ...

Dark History of the Kings and Queens of England

1 review
Brenda Lewis

Amber Books (AZ), 2008

A right royal scandal...
The history of the British Royal Family extends well past 1000 years ago, but for a long time, the date of 1066 has had pride-of-place as the demarcation of the 'proper' lineage, and Brenda Ralph Lewis' book on the kings and queens of England follows suit. Lewis does not pretend to give an extensive or in-depth history here - this being a book with the Reader's Digest imprimatur, it is as one ...

Every aspiring model should read it.

Urban Suicide: The Enemy We Choose Not To See... Crisis in Black America

Melvin Blackman

Amber Books, 2005

URBAN SUICIDE IS A MUST READ! ANOTHER HOT AMBER BOOK!
URBAN SUICIDE is a forbidden, tell all indoctrination of the state of Black America that will stir powerful dialogue and debate over the number one enemy of today's Black Man...HIMSELF! Not since George Orwell's 1984, has one sided propaganda impacted on the ideals of society and predicted the self-induced genocide of an entire culture within urban communities. To read Melvin BlackMan's testimony ...

Amber Books, 2007

The Best Generalist's Book On Classic Cars
No book is perfect for the collector, but this is probably the best for car collectors. With over 1000 of the world's finest models, from over 200 marques, it has certainly captured the best amongst its pages. It also has some strange picks, but it doesn't claim to only list the top cars. And the world doesn't start in 1945 for this author, his team goes back as far as 1891 for their car ...

Brian Inne

Amber Books, 1998

Compact survey
An extensive overview of torture, containing much photographic and illustrative detail. The sections range from torture in ancient Greece and Rome, the Far East, the Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition, instruments of torture (such as the infamous Spanish "strappado") torture in the twentieth century, the campaign against torture (spearheaded by the likes of Voltaire and Edmund Burke) and ...

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN MILITARY AIRCRAFT

4 reviews

Amber Books London, 2004

Excellent Value
I also bought this book at Borders on impulse, while I was looking for a DVD, because I could not believe the price($9.99!). I was really impressed with the very large selection of aircraft included in the book and the amount of photos and development history included with each one. This book is an excellent complementto the Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide which has even more aircraft and three ...

Millennium 20th Century Day by Day
This is an excellent resource book. It will provide one with endless material for research projects. Its great for chronologing events for someone's birthday or anniversary. It is also great for teachers and triva buffs. There is data for each day with special highlights for each month. A great conversation piece for your coffee table.

Encyclopedia of Ships (Encyclopedia)

Tony Gibbons

Amber Books, 2007

Best Ship book of it's type
This is one of the best ship encyclopedia's out right now. It doesn't have as much information as the Jane's Ship books, but makes up for it by the shear number of ship types. It covers every era from Ancient Egypt to the Ships that are now in the Persian Gulf.

Loyalty Is My Honour

Amber Books, 1995

Unparalled Waffen-SS Perspectives
A noteworthy and apparently unique contribution (at least in English) to the history of World War II in general and the Waffen-SS in particular. Be forewarned, anyone who is prejudiced against, and fears and abhors, the Waffen-SS will hate this book as it allows members of the Waffen-SS to discuss something other than accusations of atrocities. The book has been called a great equalizer as ...

No Mistakes! The African American Teen Guide to Growing Up Strong

Robin Henry

Amber Books, 2005

An essential handbook for todays teen
Purchase this book for Christmas or Kwanzaa gift-giving. Ms. Henry outlines proper attire, makeup, and education planning. This book is an easy read, and can be used in a high school curriculum. Most of the information on proper attire is focused toward young ladies. In my opinion, these suggestions cannot continue to "go without saying". Congratulations, Robin Henry on an outstanding ...

The World's Great Tanks from 1916 to the Present Day

Roger Ford

Amber Books

Fascinating history - not just a picture book
I bought this book anticipating some good pictures and a little story. I ended up reading it cover to cover and really enjoyed it. I'm not expert in this field. I have enjoyed military history for about forty years, and so maybe know a bit about it, but nothing on the level of the author. This book definitely gave me all sorts of great information beyond what I already had, and a new respect ...
