1. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read From Beirut to Jerusalem by Thomas L. Friedman and commented:

    Some of the personalities described have died or moved on, but a very good view of the Middle East (and what a strange place it is).

  2. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman and commented:

    Read Versions 1.0 and 2.0. O.K., but somewhat instant history/analysis. Whether 3.0 is as "dated" as the earlier versions are, I cannot say.

  3. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read The Generalship Of Alexander The Great by J.F.C. Fuller and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  4. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Decision in Normandy: The Real Story of Montgomery and the Allied Campaign by Carlo D'Este and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  5. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Frederick The Great On The Art Of War by Jay Luvaas and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. Currently being re-read.

  6. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Art of Maneuver: Maneuver-Warfare Theory and Airland Battle by Robert R. Leonhard and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred.

  7. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization by Thomas L. Friedman and commented:

    While some of the people depicted have moved on, a good read to help understand the clash between the have's and have-nots (or the First World vs. the Third World).

  8. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo by Edward Shepherd Creasy and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  9. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era by James M. McPherson and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  10. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Summons of the Trumpet: U.S.-Vietnam in Perspective by Dave R. Palmer and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  11. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Citizen Soldiers: The U. S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany by Stephen E. Ambrose and commented:

    Liked Ambrose's books on D-Day, The Band of Brothers and Pegasus Bridge more than this. This one, coming near the end of his career, feels more like a synthesis of his earlier works rather than a good extension (with new material).

  12. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read The Art of War by Antoine Henri De Jomini and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

  13. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Certain Victory: The U.S. Army in the Gulf War by Robert Scales and commented:

    Very dense/informative, but written pretty close to the conflict. Would time passed give us more/better perspective? Also recommended, "Crusade" by Atkinson.

  14. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read Face of Battle by John Keegan and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain! Overall I have enjoyed all of Keegan's books.

  15. On Mar 24 2010 Fred Kiesche (USA) read East of Chosin: Entrapment and Breakout in Korea, 1950 by Roy Edgar Appleman and commented:

    I've read it, but it was quite a while ago so my recollection is somewhat blurred. On Mount Tobereadagain!

    I do recall this being part (at the time when I read it) of a trilogy, all three being good.
