In 1944 Raoul Wallenberg, a businessman, playboy and member of one of Sweden's most wealthy and aristocratic families, volunteered to go to Budapest as a diplomat for the purpose of saving Hungarian Jews from Hitler's Final Solution. During the next six months, through espionage, bribery, threats, and, when all else failed, stirring acts of personal courage, he managed to rescue tens of ...             Pearl Harbor Ghosts : The Legacy of December 7, 19418 reviews Thurston Clarke Ballantine Books, 2001 A vivid picture of Honolulu in December 1941 This book is more anecdotal than historical. The book doesn't dwell on the minutiae of military history, but it does perfectly set the scene of Honolulu during the days leading up to the attack, Dec. 7, and the days immediately after the attack. We learn about the complex ethnic mix on the island of Oahu; how military leaders were more concerned about internal sabotage than external attack; how ...             By Blood & Fire July 22, 1946: The Attack on the King David Hotel2 reviews Thurston Clarke G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1981 Great book, essential on Jewish terror Today we often hear snippets in the media such as "Israel is the real terrorist". THese quotes are anti-semetic and sensationalistic in nature since we all know that only one Jewish act of terror has taken place in the last ten years(Mr. Baruch Goldstien). yet during the struggle for independence Jewish Terror organizations romed Palistine striking fear into the hearts of arab fascists and ...             Searching for Paradise: A Grand Tour of the World's Unspoiled Islands3 reviews Thurston Clarke Ballantine Books, 2002 A wonderful tour of many fascinating islands _Searching for Paradise_ by Thurston Clarke was a wonderful, well-written, witty book touring many of the world's islands, from the arctic island of Svalbard to sunny South Pacific islands like Abemama and a number of islands in between. I found the book a good mixture of history and travelogue and loved the author's descriptions of the sites, architecture, and in many cases fauna and flora of ...             Equator: A Journey6 reviews Thurston Clarke Avon Books, 1997 Perfect travel writing I read this book years ago when it first came out. I keep going back and reading it again. I don't generally enjoy travel writing, but this book is simply one of the best I've ever read. Not just interesting, but witty and interesting, which is something much better. The kind of book that you regret having read the first time because you'll never get to read it again for the first time!             The Last Campaign Thurston Clarke Henry Holt & Co, 2008             The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America32 reviews Thurston Clarke Henry Holt and Co., 2008 Great book! This is one of the best books I have read in a long time! It is very personal and inspiring. It is like being on the campaign trial with Robert Kennedy. I would strongly reccomend this book to anyone interested in american politcs.             Ask Not: The Inauguration of John F. Kennedy and the Speech That Changed America14 reviews Thurston Clarke Holt Paperbacks, 2005 A real belter! This is a short, interesting, and satisfying read. It follows closely, and as factually as is possible, the development of this historic speech. I think it does a good job of finding and exploring the influences and authorship of the speech as well as the editing and construction of the speech - its amazing to see how much each word and phrase is considered, changed and laboured over. ...             Die Insel Thurston Clarke Piper Verlag GmbH, 2004             California Fault: Looking for the Spirit of a State Along the San Andreas1 review Thurston Clarke Ballantine Books, 1996 Whose Fault? California Fault is an excellent and endearing book. Thurston Clark combines elements of geology, sociology, history with a wealth of insight to create the story of the San Andreas fault and the Californians who live above and along it. The author provides an excellent and detailed narrative, and, despite following many entertaining digressions, keeps it all together and focussed by the ...             Searching for Crusoe: A Journey Among the Last Real Islands6 reviews Thurston Clarke Ballantine Books, 2001 Run Away I like to lie on the beach and disappear----this book took me to another time and place. I shall be reading it again lying on the sands of the Grand Cayman----I say, read it feel the sun on your pale skin....take the one you love. Crusoe- the romance is in us all. Even if u lie in your own backyard this summer--read, feel Father sun on your pale flesh longing for freedom. Adventure is there, ...             Great Journeys of the World1 review Patrick R. Booz, Cynthia Russ Ramsay, ... American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996 Tripping! I was getting this book at 50% off on an Indian web site. Since I didn't find any reviews on Amazon.com ;-) I was wondering whether I should go ahead with the purchase. I took a chance and ordered the same. And what a nice pleasant little surprise it turned out to be. As with all National Geographic books, I check out all the photos on Round One and then get down to reading the stories. ...             Pearl Harbor Ghosts: A Journey to Hawaii Then and Now Thurston Clarke William Morrow & Co, 1991              search for books along, america, andreas, attack, california, campaign, changed, crusoe, december, equator, ghosts, harbor, hawaii, inauguration, insel, inspired, islands, journey, journeys, kennedy, legacy, looking, mystery, paradise, robert, searching, speech, spirit, unspoiled, wallenberg books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
