"1812" brought the war to life with a quick yet thorough history. I enjoyed the details of the naval battles on the Great Lakes, and the descriptions of the follies of the war were jaw-dropping. ]]>
This was one fun book to read. I liked the two points of view, and how they come together at the end. ]]>

A terrific book where one flashback flows into another with an almost dreamlike quality. ]]>

A bit of an understatement about the ending. ]]>
An outstanding, detailed look at Stonewall Jackson's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley in the first half of 1862. Cozzens focuses on both the generals who dictated the battles and on the common soldier marching, camping and fighting in the misery. ]]>
Just an outstanding sports book, with plenty of detail and insight from the participants themselves. I loved learning more about the history of the team, and Eisenberg put the comments in perspective. Many of the major players are heard from, including Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer. Peter Angelos also offers his views, though he probably should have stayed quiet. ]]>
