The Age of Reagan: A History, 1974-2008 29 reviews Sean Wilentz
Harper, 2008
Not a balanced work on the subject
To read the title, one would have thought the author would present us with a thoughtful history of the Reagan presidency that would pull together the disparate views that were common to the era. This, sadly is not the case. Mr. Wilentz's credentials as a historian are quite well known. What he ...

The Anti-Christ 48 reviews Friedrich Nietzsche
Wilder Publications, 2008
Who thought Nietzche wrote comedy?

Winning the Peace: The Marshall Plan and Americas Coming of Age as a Superpower 1 review Nicolaus Mills
Wiley, 2008
Winning The Peace
This book was well written and flowed very well from beginning to end. I enjoyed it and would recommend reading it. I was a little disappointed that the author used the opportunity to use this venue for "Bush bashing" as multiple references were made to the current state of affairs in Iraq. I ...
