One From the Heart
Delta Six Soldier Surgeon is not your usual war story. Dr. Richard Snider has written the story of a dizzying transition- from his surgical internship at Yale, to draftee in the Army and finally to front-line doctor in the jungles of Vietnam. In this memoir, we do not encounter issues and positions, instead we find a primal view of personal experience and feeling- smells in the air, the color of ...

U.S. Constitution
This publication contains the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, two of the most glorious documents ever conceived by mere mortals. It would be great if our government sent a copy to every citizen of this country and local study groups formed to learn and discuss its contents. How can we "defend" what we know little or nothing about--just exactly what it means to be an ...

I cannot recommend it enough!
If you want help to understand the Bible better, then this book is phenomenal! It is written in such a clear manner that everyone can understand. It covered the first part of the Bible through David's time. I read the Bible as I was reading the book and found that it coincided with it. It opened my eyes to many of the events that happened during those times. Did you know that when Moses lead ...

Good laughs, good read and first-hand real history
I'm one of those men with the "Civil War Itch" who can't get enough reading, can't get enough time on the battlefields. This book is hands-down one of my favorites in my extensive collection, re-read several times and dog-eared. It's something I always put in my bag for air-travel reading, because you can pick it up and put it down when you need to...the author and the illustrator both were ...

Practical Book on Health
This book is the most practical layman's book on health I have ever read. It's not a silly home remedies book. Nor is it a hard to understand technical manual. It gives plain and simple advice on how to live a healthy life. Everything from how to care for yourself and others when ill to what simple steps you can take to keep from getting ill to what kind of diet is best to how to take care ...

The story of a wolf/dog hybrid & the man who befriended him
R.D.Lawrence's book "The North Runner" is quite simply magnificent. It tells the true story of one man's friendship with a savage dog/wolf hybrid that sees man as his natural enemy, especially as he has been ill-treated since puppyhood. When Lawrence takes the Hybrid into his home he finds that he has true savage on his hands, and that it will take all his skills as a naturalist to tame an ...

In sixty three handsome, colorful, and well illustrated pages, Carr gives the reader the basics of Calvin's life and teaching in a very readable and interesting way. She doesn't focus on insignificant details, but sticks to the main points. The seven chapters (which chronologically follow Calvin's life) are the right length and depth ...

Fully God and Fully Man
This is a concise, highly readable, practical, and exciting book that explores the meaning and significance of the incarnation--a central, defining Christian doctrine. For Christians it provides depth and vitality to the celebration of the Savior's birth. For non-Christians it provides a reasonable explanation of an oft misunderstood but crucial Christian claim. Excellent appendicies with ...

Superb!!! A 'must have' for any Civil War Buff
I recently received my copy of 'Proud To Say I Am A Union Soldier' by Franklin R. Crawford. What a profound book! There are 21 Chapters, each one focuses on a specific soldier. You get to know those soldiers 'personally'. Some died on the battlefield, others of disease. Do you know how a person suffers when they have Malaria or some of the other diseases?? No? You will when you read this book. ...

The Other Side of the Coin

Hans J. Kunert

Heritage Books Inc, 2002

World history from a personal perspective
The Other Side of the Coin is a joy to read because of several reasons. First, Mr. Kunert's style is conversational and fluid; it feels as though he is speaking to us over beers, relating at one moment what is terrible and then finding joy and humor in other remembrances. Second, his candor about how the German people were treated by their own military and by other nations is valuable to those ...

Impressive Chronicles
Not being a serious student of history, I came across this book purely by accident, it was given to me as a gift. However, once I started to read this narrative I could not help to actually become interested in the fate of these Confederate Soldiers who are buried so far North of their beloved South.The author Mr Walter manages to keep the tone of the book quite easy to read and obviously put ...

The Loyalists in the American Revolution

Claude Halstead Van Tyne

Heritage Books Inc., 2009

Words can't describe it
This is one of the top 3 books ever written about the Loyalists during the American Revolution. It describes their politics, their life as soldiers and their relations with the British. It is shameful how books lump the Loyalists in with the British, when they are clearly just Americans fighting for their beliefs and their country, as they saw it at the time. Considering their numbers, the ...

A Great Read!
This is the best book I have read in months! I have read and studied the Hatfield and McCoy Feud for years. This is a great companion book to anyone wishing to learn more about the Hatfield and McCoys. It offers a unique perspective on both the people involved and the land where it occured. This is not a history book of facts and figures, but a well-told story of warmth and pride. The ...
