I have a few requests: Jacob Send a noteboard - 19/11/2010 06:37:32 PM
Russian/Soviet history
I am looking for some books that offer good commentary and perspective on the period from the build up to WWI probably through WWII and maybe the end of Stalin's time in office.

Post-Revolution to Civil War US history
Similarly, I am looking for some materials that focus on the time between the constitution and the Civil War. I have some good stuff for either side of that time period.

Ahern was fairly lambasted as far as I am aware Stephen - 22/11/2010 12:54:43 AM 821 Views
Was that by readers of that particular genre, or more by "serious" critics? Rebekah - 22/11/2010 07:34:24 AM 816 Views
Not all of those are available in the library/bookstores here, but some are. Thanks! *NM* Legolas - 25/11/2010 03:42:24 PM 401 Views
