I agree with many you've listed. I just finished a wonderful work on WWI, A Storm In Flanders, by Winston Groom. He did a great job of using his novelist's eye for detail to bring home the horror of the Ypres Salient, while still covering enough of the "big picture" to make it a legitimate historical work. And I can't recommend highly enough Greg Palast's _The Best Democracy Money Can Buy_. A truly frightening work. -- lazarus "Therefore, my Harry, Be it thy course to busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels; that action, hence borne out, may waste the memory of the former days." -- King Henry IV, Part ii Act 4, Scene 5
