"In the weeks after September 11 . . .

Thomas Jefferson
The American Presidents Series: The 3rd President, 1801-1809
The American Presidents
Joyce Appleby; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Appleby has succeeded in writing as good a brief study of this complex man as is imaginable. Another in a series on the American chief executives edited by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., her elegant book is a liberal's take on the complex, sphinx-like founder of American liberalism. Appleby convincingly argues that the third president's greatest legacies were limited government (breached, however, by the opportunism that characterized his own presidency) and the great expansion of democracy."—

Nobilities in Transition 1550-1700
Courtiers and Rebels in Britain and Europe
Reconstructions in Early Modern History]
Ronald Asch
Bloomsbury USA
Nobilities in Transition 1550-1700
explores the transformation of the nobility in the late 16th and 17th centuries in Europe, examining political and social changes, the impact princely courts had on noblemen and women and their way of life and analyzes issues such as the "refeudalization" of state and society in southern Europe or the increasing urbanization of noble elites in this time period. While paying due attention to the great heterogeneity of the nobility in Europe it nevertheless shows how the adherence to common values and ideals nevertheless gave noble elites coherence and a shared sense of identity.

The Limits of Power
The End of American Exceptionalism
American Empire Project
Andrew Bacevich
A Metropolitan/Holt Paperbacks Book
“This compact, meaty volume ought to be on the reading list of every candidate for national office in November's elections. In an age of cant and baloney, Andrew Bacevich offers a bracing slap of reality.
The Limits of Power
is gracefully written and easy to read . . . chockablock with provocative ideas and stern judgments. Bacevich's brand of intellectual assuredness is rare in today's public debates. Many of our talking heads and commentators are cocksure, of course, but few combine confidence with knowledge and deep thought the way Bacevich does here. His big argument is elegant and powerful.”—

Washington Rules
America's Path to Permanent War
American Empire Project
Andrew J. Bacevich
Metropolitan Books
“To say that
Washington Rules
is a breath of fresh air in the debate over U.S. foreign policy would be like comparing a zephyr to a hurricane. Writing with Force-Five fury, Andrew Bacevich lays bare the dogmas and shibboleths that have animated national security doctrine for the last half century and produced an Orwellian nightmare of permanent war in the name of permanent peace. This passionate, often discomforting book brings rare clarity to a subject of urgent importance for all Americans.”—

René Backmann, Translated by A. Kaiser

Backmann places the barrier smack in the middle of the controversy over Israeli confiscation of Palestinian lands: He makes a compelling case that Israel set out to expand West Bank Jewish settlements on the Israeli side at the expense of thousands of acres of Palestinian territory."—

James Buchanan
The American Presidents Series: The 15th President, 1857-1861
The American Presidents
Jean H. Baker; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Historians generally agree that James Buchanan was the worst U.S. president. After all, it was on his unhappy watch that the Union disintegrated. Far from wishing to rehabilitate Buchanan, Baker wants to bury him deeper in infamy. She brilliantly shows how Buchanan's mishandling of the mini-Civil War between pro- and anti-slavery factions in Kansas led to John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and helped make the greater conflict inevitable, and how his vacillation and dithering allowed rebels to seize federal forts and arsenals across the South."—
