Leopoldville Disaster: December 24, 194426 reviews Allan Andrade Tern Book Company, 1997 A Book that is a Serice to the contry as well as a good read "`Hey, I'm alive!' Drew blacked out. When he came to, he found himself on a beach, naked protected only by a raincoat thrown over him. He heard a faint voice `Throw him in there too.'

It's so ponderous and mysterious, and is full of truths in hiding. The character who sees King December is a dull man with a dull job, and it's never clear if the King is part of his imagination. There is a lingering sadness throughout the book, but it's so beautiful that I cry everytime I read it.             December9 reviews Eve Bunting Topeka Bindery, 2001 Angel in the Alley December is a remarkable book -- it manages to connect homelessness to the realm of miracles and the mystery of Christmas.

The younger set don't always understand the implications of the old lady who visits on Christmas Eve, but they are deeply touched by the generosity of a ...             Brazen Chariots: An Account of Tank Warfare in the Western Desert, November-December 19418 reviews Robert Crisp W. W. Norton & Company, 2005 I Loved This Book As I've said in other reviews, I am far from a military historian; I wouldn't even make a good amateur military historian. Having said that I must say that I absolutely loved Brazen Chariots by Major Robert Crisp and my only complaint is that it seemed too short. His account of being in North Africa during World War II is very easy to read and not overburdened with military lingo and it ...             Saints for Young Readers for Every Day, Vol. 2: July-December7 reviews Pauline Books & Media, 1995 Catechize your children with the saint of the day Coupled with a chapter from the New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism (#1), nightly readings from Pauline Media's two-volume "Saints for Young Readers" are an excellent way for parents to catechize their children.

Also ...             A Long December15 reviews Donald Harstad Rugged Land, 2003 Another great book from Harstad! Donald Harstad writes an incredibly good police procedural.

The book is, as a matter of fact, an introduction and, therefore, is ...             BusyBodyBook: A Family Organizer, September 2005-December 20067 reviews Joan Goldner About Your Time LLC, 2005 I Love BusyBodyBook Family Organizer!!!

Prange McGraw-Hill, 1988 An excellent, well researched book of the Day of Infamy. This book is a must. Though difficult to obtain, it is well worth the wait.

Prange's relentless search, and also of his "sucessors" after his death, for the TRUTH about the the attack on Pearl Harbor, make this a must read.

As someone who has also been in the nursing home industry for a number of years, Elaine told the tales with such accuracy and humour.
