America's Secret War: Inside the Hidden Worldwide Struggle Between the United States and Its Enemies67 reviews
George Friedman

Broadway, 2005

Excellent view behind the scenes
George Friedman gives us a rare look behind the scenes of America's fight with radical Islam. It was fascinating to get a look at how the U.S. viewed acts of terror and terrorists in general before and after 9/11. Friedman goes into detail that you simply cannot get from watching the news or reading papers. For example, Friedman lays out many reasons for invading Iraq other than WMD's. These ...
  
  











  



  
Between Mother & Daughter: A Teenager and Her Mom Share the Secrets of a Strong Relationship5 reviews
Judy Ford, Amanda Ford

Conari Press, 1999

A refreshing book that both mothers and daughters will love!
This book is a true one-of-a-kind. Open, honest, and real, this book is full of practical ways that mothers and daughters can learn from each other to create a strong and loving relationship during the teen years. Each chapter begins with a true senerio that all mothers and daughters can relate to, (like the desire for body-piercings, learning/teaching to drive, dating/boys, etc.) then Judy ...
  
  











  



  
Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War, 1941-194591 reviews
Leo Marks

Free Press, 2000

A Funny Cryptographer
Of all WW II memoirs, Leo Marks has probably written the most distinctive and unusual. In the prime of his youth, a young Leo failed in his attempt to enter Bletchley Park's hallowed ground, and was instead sent to the SOE, Special Operations Executive, charged with Churchill's mandate to "Set Europe Ablaze." When Marks arrived at the SOE, the coded transmissions of secret agents were based ...
  
  











  



  
Push Not the River65 reviews
James Conroyd Martin

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

An Historical Fiction Treasure!
I found this historical fiction text to be absolutely enthralling! It has not only provided me with hours of enjoyable, page-turning reading, but has also given me great insight into my Polish ancestry and heritage. The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ...
  
  











  



  
Between The Tides7 reviews
Patti Callahan Henry

NAL Trade, 2007

Everyone has one secret
This is a beautiful must read book. Captures your heart from the onset. I'd recommend it to everyone. I honestly was a little put off by the ending; I thought it was going to be better, more detailed or complete. I felt like we were left hanging. It was only the very end. Loved the rest.

Thoughts on Book
This is the first book I have read by Barbara Delinsky and I must say that I am very impressed. This is a great book that has kept my interest. I have already ordered another book by her and can't wait to start reading it. I would highly recommend this author.
  
  











  



  
Against a Crimson Sky: A Novel18 reviews
James Conroyd Martin

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

An Incredible Sequel!
James Conroyd Martin has created yet another literary treasure with his sequel to PUSH NOT THE RIVER. Once again, his fabulous gift for storytelling has given me deeper insight into the history of Poland and has truly helped me understand how the political events of the day affected so many lives. Well done!

This book is right on the subject for me. Could this be true???? I think so
  
  











  



  
Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are13 reviews
Rob Walker

Random House, 2008

Rob Walker rocks!
Fascinating -- accessible to non-academics yet rich with anecdotes and an in-depth analysis of the state of flux which typifies marketing today. A must read for anyone interested in marketing or branding. I am a young fashion designer who reads Rob's blog regularly and have corresponded with him on a couple occasions. I enjoy his work because his angle is intellectual yet relevant, and he ...
  
  











  



  
House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties118 reviews
Craig Unger

Scribner, 2004

Excellent
Craig Unger has connected a lot of the dots! I think this should be required reading. It is depressing to read about all the crap that is going with our government and know that there is nothing that can be done about it. Left feeling outraged and helpless. At times it felt like a thriller and I am sorry that it is not fiction!
  
  











  



  
The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews23 reviews
Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam

Nation of Islam, 1991

Truth or Consequences!
I write my review with bias, in response to the obvious diatribe against this work. Several questions come to mind when both reading this work and the pale attempts at refutation of its content by all comers. 1.) Why is all of the venom directed toward Minister Farrakhan, when it was a work not instigated nor financed by him, but was the voluntary work of the NOI research department taken up ...
  
  











  



  
Love and War Between the Signs: Astrological Secrets to Emotional Compatibility7 reviews
Amy Keehn

Three Rivers Press, 1996

Amazingly Accurate
WOW!! Is the first word that came to mind as I read through Amy's book. I am a true Aires (with Venus and Mercury also in Aires). After reading Amy's book, Love and War Between the Signs, I can now truly understand why I have found certain men to be incompatible with my line of "feeling". I was beginning to think that there was nobody out there who could understand a direct, honest, ...

The result of meticulous and painstaking research
Nicely enhanced with occasional illustrations by Monika Suteski, "Secret Lives Of The Civil War": What Your Teachers Never Told You About The War Between The States" by Cormac O'Brien is an informed and informative compendium of odd facts, unsung heroes, obscure vignettes, and bizarre anecdotes that are a part of the American Civil War that are not presented in traditional classroom lectures, ...

The Ransom of the Jews: The Story of Extraordinary Secret Bargain Between Romania and Israel5 reviews
Radu Ioanid

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2005

An Engrossing Read Providing A Window Into Romania's Past
Between 1948 until 1989, the State of Israel had clandestinely engaged in one of the longest and most expensive ransom pacts in history, wherein Romania permitted most its 370,000 Jews, who had survived the Holocaust, to immigrate to Israel in exchange for hard currency and various other considerations. Born and educated in Romania, and director of International archival programs at the United ...
  
  











  



  
The Jewish Onslaught: Dispatches from the Wellesley Battlefront10 reviews
Tony Martin

Majority Press, 1993

Excellent book, a must read.
From experience and background, I can testify that this book is accurate. You see I was jewish until I left judaism 5 years ago. I can testify to the attitude and behavior of my community. When are we going to wake up and join humanity and give up our outdated hateful racist idiology. I just have to pray! DR. Martin, you are a Hero.
  
  











  



  
Celebrities Between the Sheets3 reviews
Savannah Jahvall

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

Ever wonder is he as good as he looks?
Wow, this is a tell all book and gets down to the nitty gritty bordering on hardcore info on the rich and famous sexual exploits. It even rates each ones performance while in the act. The book is filled with clues as to the participants. Are they lovers or just another lay? My best guess produced the following players, Jamie Foxx, Shaquille O'Neal, Method Man, Sleepy Brown, Jah Rule, Shemar ...
  
  











  



  
Just Between Us Girls: Secrets About Men From The Mayflower Madam8 reviews
Sydney B. Barrows

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1997

Listen to the Madam
Okay so I was pretty young when I read this book (17) but seriously, it was very, very educational. I then shared it with my mom who's remarried and she also benefited from it. I recommend this book, it's very adult though, and think the chapter entitled SAT is very worthwhile reading. :) Bye
  
  











  



  
Wedge: From Pearl Harbor to 9/11--How the Secret War between the FBI and CIA Has Endangered National Security7 reviews
Mark Riebling

Touchstone, 2002

Pogo Lives at FBI--We Are Our Own Worst Enemies
Although I know the CIA better than I do the FBI, I have spent time in the past ten years with law enforcement officers from over 40 countries including the US, and the bottom line is that the FBI bureaucracy (Supervisory Special Agents and the politically-motivated upper tiers of FBI management) are a worse threat to US security than individual terrorist groups, for the simple reason that as ...
  
  











  



  
Between the Wingtips: The Secret Life of Birds3 reviews
Brutus Ostling, Magnus Ullman

Collins, 2006

WOW! Birds in ways I've never seen them before.
This is surely the ultimate in bird watchers books. Sure you can get bird catalogues, but this book has better information on why birds do things than I've ever read. And the photographs! Amazing! The shots are pin-sharp, the poses incredible and the photohrapher says he doesn't photoshop them... what a master... I'm buying 5 as Chrstmas gifts. I KNOW they will be loved. I bought Audubon's Birds ...
