Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11
by
and commented:
Definitely a instant history. Derived from Friedman's columns and personal notes. Skip this one and go with "Lexus and the Olive Tree", "The World is Flat" or one of his longer and more "timeless" books.

From Beirut to Jerusalem
by
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).

The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
by
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.

The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization
by
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).

Citizen Soldiers: The U. S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany
by
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).
