Hell In A Very Small Place (Da Capo Paperback)

42 reviews
Bernard B. Fall

Da Capo Press, 1985

An empire sacrifices its non-commissioned officers...
Bernard Fall uses a very fitting epigraph from Menachem Begin, of all people, to foreshadow one of his book's themes: "When a nation re-awakens, its finest sons are prepared to give their lives for it liberation. When Empires are threatened with collapse, they are prepared to sacrifice their non-commissioned officers." (as Fall goes on to indicate, all too often those non-coms were not even the ...

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule

272 reviews
Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero

Da Capo Press, 2006

Who knew being vegan could be so delicious?
My husband and I decided to take the vegan plunge just under a year ago, with few expectations. We were in a "recipe rut" in the pre-veg era, and becoming vegan forced us outside of our cooking comfort zone in such wonderful ways! Terry and Isa's books have been incredible in our transition. We started with the Veganomicon and then moved on to VCTOTW, Vegan Brunch, etc. Without them, I'd never ...

Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye

54 reviews
David Ritz

Da Capo Press, 2003

Very detailed life story of Marvin Gaye
I'm not much on writting reviews, but I will say that I enjoyed reading David Ritz' "Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye" because there were always questions I had concerning Marvin Gaye's life, like why was his father the way he was toward his more famous son, what Gaye was like before he found fame, and so on. This book succeeds in detailing what Gaye's life was like right up to his fateful ...

Scipio Africanus

B. H. Liddell Hart, Michael Grant

Da Capo Press, 1994

The Greatest General of the Ancient World
Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon was a great read. I had to do a book report and had heard about Scipio, but never realized his greatness as a general. The book is written by one of the most noted Military Historians but it is written in an easy way that gets the points across without going deep into detail. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to know more about Roman History and ...

The Rommel Papers (Da Capo Paperback)

39 reviews
Erwin Rommel

Da Capo Press, 1982

an excellent read
This book is great. It shows in depth the workings of Rommel's plans and actions. The accuracy of his strategies is truly staggering when you read what he personally intended to do, even though his campaign was crippled by a severe lack of supplies and understanding from higher ups. While I personally am glad he lost in the end it makes you really wish he had succeeded when you are reading his ...

Iron Coffins: A Personal Account Of The German U-boat Battles Of World War Ii

102 reviews
Herbert A. Werner

Da Capo Press, 1998

I Could Not Put It Down
What a unique and exciting story Herbert Werner has, and against all odds, he lived to tell about it. Iron Coffins is the story of Herbert Werner, beginning as an ensign aboard German u-boats (German submarines during World War II), chronicling his move up the ranks to finally captain a number of u-boats during the most deadly time of the war during which only about 15% of boats sent out on a ...

The Complete History of Jack the Ripper

69 reviews
Philip Sugden

Da Capo Press, 2002

The man who gave birth to the 20th Century
An in-depth history of the most infamous serial killer of all time. This is a supremely well-researched and factual account of the crimes, the clues, and the suspects. In the graphic novel, "From Hell" Jack the Ripper is quoted as saying, "One day men will look back and say I gave birth to the 20th Century." So real you will be transported to fog-shrouded London streets where one hears ...

Widow To Widow: Thoughtful, Practical Ideas For Rebuilding Your Life

50 reviews
Genevieve Davis Ginsburg

Da Capo Press, 1997

Contains a lot of good advice and good thoughts
It's a sad fact, but women are much more likely to outlive their spouses than men. As such, many women, if not most, end up facing a future suddenly bereft of their life's partner. This book contains a lot of good advice and good thoughts. If you, or someone you love, has been recently widowed, then this is a good book to get. If you have a loved one who has been given a terrible diagnosis by a ...

Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield

40 reviews
Kenneth D. Ackerman

Da Capo Press, 2004

Said plenty well by others
But I just want to add my half cent's worth. This is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. I'm old enough to remember the little square milk cartons at school with the one sentence synopsis of each president in red, white and blue. Poor Garfield got, "Shot by a disappointed office seeker". This is the only one of those I remember all these years later, as even when I was in elementary ...

Requiem for a Dream: A Novel

87 reviews
Hubert Selby Jr.

Da Capo Press, 2000

This is the most haunting, accurate, disturbing, and best book I've ever read
This is the kind of book that was so disturbing and unsettling that it has stuck with me, and haunted me since I first began reading it. The book is written in two parallel stories that do intersect, but only on a couple occasions. In one story we have Harry, his girlfriend Marion, and his best friend Tyrone. The story begins in the summer. The friends come up with the idea of selling heroin ...

Dorian Solot, Marshall Miller

Da Capo Press, 2007

AMAZING for experts and beginners, of both sexes!
I bought this book form a local store because I had read such amazing reviews on Amazon I couldn't wait to read it. This book is a FANTASTIC resource for men and women, and I found myself learning things that I haven't learned after having a vagina for 22 years! in all honestly, I wish I had read it as a teenager. They stress heavily that masturbation is OKAY, and even have tips on how to ...

Memoirs Of General William T. Sherman

William T. Sherman

Da Capo Press, 1984

Sherman reveals himself
W T Sherman, General, U S Army was a most impresive commander. His memoirs go a long way in explaining some of the 'whys' of the great campaigns he led. And lead he did. The general went so far, on occason, as to eschew use of a tent and slept on the ground with his men using only a tent-half. The letters in the book provide insight into Lincoln's, Grant's, Sherman's et al's thinking on many ...

Dianne Jacob

Da Capo Press, 2005

A Must-have for Cookbook/Food-based book Writers!
I stumbled upon Dianne's website while I was researching for my book proposal. I wasn't planning to write a cookbook but since I love food and this book is so unique, I got myself a copy anyway. I'm pleasantly surprised! I've learnt a great deal about raising one's platform/profile before publishing a book, as well as the nuts & bolts of the publishing industry. This book is a MUST-HAVE ...

Somatics: Reawakening The Mind's Control Of Movement, Flexibility, And Health

Thomas Hanna

Da Capo Press, 1988

A priceless introduction to Somatics
I give this book a 10 star rating. I just love the Cat Stretch. There are live demonstrations of it on Youtube. I have been doing it daily for 3 months and with each passing day I feel more release of chronically tight muscles. I've had faster results with Somatics than with Egoscue. If you don't have the advantage of seeing a Somatic Educator (which I believe will give you even faster ...

Think Like a Pancreas: A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin

M.S. Gary Scheiner M.S.

Da Capo Press, 2004

Very helpful.
Definitely a must-read for type 1 diabetics. I bought this a few months after diagnosis, and it helped me really understand the effect the insulin I am taking has on my body and how to control my blood sugar even better.

Cancer on $5 a Day* *(chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life

36 reviews
Robert Schimmel, Alan Eisenstock

Da Capo Press, 2008

Positive Message
What a great book. It's obvious after reading this book that The Schimmel family are no strangers to hard times but it's the way that they have delt with their hardships that is truly commendable. This book is an uplifting, never give up tale about a man and his will to survive. Quick read but a must read. Great job on the book and good luck in the future Robert.

Wings Of Morning: The Story Of The Last American Bomber Shot Down Over Germany In World War II

34 reviews
Thomas Childers

Da Capo Press, 1996

A World War 2 "MUST HAVE"
There are very few books written, and even fewer read, that will motivate or so move a reader to go to unusual lengths to want to know or try and understand who the protagonist of the story really was;who he must have been. This is just such a book, and this is no ordinary story. First, and foremost, it is a true personal account of one of thousands of American young men from a typical all ...

Fire and Ice : The Korean War, 1950-1953

34 reviews
Michael Varhola

Da Capo Press, 2000

Varhola Does It Again
Being familiar with some of the author's other works, I tracked this one down as well. As expected, the level of detail and obvious meticulous research were as I expected. Another successful and vivid portrait of a very gripping historical period from an author who clearly knows his history. The wealth of little details interspersed throughout the mandatory historical details make this a true ...

Nordie's at Noon: The Personal Stories of Four Women "Too Young" for Breast Cancer

28 reviews
Patti Balwanz, Kim Carlos, ...

Da Capo Press, 2007

Nordie's at Noon - Excellent read
This book offers excellent insight into the cancer patient's feelings. I went through 5 years of breast cancer treatment with my best friend and this book helped me understand a lot of what my friend went through. She kept a lot to herself, always had a positive attitude toward her survival but I didn't always know what she was feeling. I highly recommend reading this book.

In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing: Chasing the Legend of Mike Austin, the Man Who Launched the World's ...

34 reviews
Philip Reed

Da Capo Press, 2005

A fascinating read for any golfer -- and a touching story, too
Ostensibly this book is half biography of little-known long driver Mike Austin and half technical discussion of Austin's revolutionary swing, many aspects of which run counter to conventional PGA wisdom. But as the artfully written narrative progresses, a third element emerges as well -- the touching story of the friendship that develops between Austin and author Reed during the writing of the ...
