| 1. |  | 1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War from Yale University Press Price: $21.45 Customer Review:  Despite the preponderance of news about the Middle East and the rich historical ties of the Christian West to its Judaic roots, few know much about what transpired at the beginning of the modern Jewish state of Israel. Many will find it surprising that such a momentous event was relatively minor in... |

| 2. |  | Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History from Harper Price: $18.45 Customer Review: Ted Sorensen, who was as much a Kennedy alter ego as he was a speechwriter, is the keeper of the Kennedy flame. In that capacity he wrote Kennedy's biography in 1965. But that book was wooden and lacking in perspective. This book is written after Sorensen has lived a full lifetime and enjoys the... |

| 4. |  | People of the Book: A Novel from Viking Adult Price: $16.29 Customer Review:  It was difficult to decide what was more disappointing: the poor narrative or the incredibly poor knowledge of the history in general, and of the region Ms. Brooks writes about in her "People of the Book". Since a lot has been said about the former in other reviews, I will comment on the latter. |

| 5. |  | The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel from Random House Price: $16.50 Customer Review:  Alan Furst is the master of evoking the atmosphere of pre-World War II Europe through his thrillers. I've figured out a couple of the rhetorical devices he uses to keep his writing so vivid. First, he's not afraid of run-on sentences, and his selective use of them gives his writing a European... |

| 7. |  | Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America from Scribner Price: $24.75 Customer Review: The country was already fractured by the time Nixon took office. Why do you think LBJ voluntarily gave up his second term? Protestors had already begun marching in the hundreds of thousands, chanting "Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many babies did you kill today?" Draft cards had long since started being burned... |

| 8. |  | What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception from PublicAffairs Price: $18.45 Customer Review:  Scott McClellan spends the first 100 pages of this 200 odd page book telling us about childhood, his powerful mom and his early political education. He assumes that he is an important enough historical figure that we really care know about his collegiate tennis career, etc, etc. These revelations... |

I finished reading The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life a few days ago and I truly... |
