It's always an amazing event when a writer manages to take such a vivid snapshot of reality in their writing that you feel like you have experienced the things they have. That is what reading this is like. I felt like I was sitting down and having tea with my aunt and listening to a ...             The German Revolution, 1917-19232 reviews Pierre Broue The Merlin Press Ltd, 2006 The Final Authority on the Subject This is not the first book you should read about the German revolution - it's the last.

Pauwels The Merlin Press Ltd, 2003 Recommended This book does a good job of bringing to the surface and exposing plainly that which even a novice on WWII history already knows about the role of Americas corporate giants in driving American policy before, during and after the war. It is well written and will give the novice buff a new perspective on the war - though it is easy to fall into the Anti-American trap that the title of this book ...             Prolegomena to the study of Greek religion8 reviews Jane Ellen Harrison Merlin Press, 1962 A Fascinating Classic Although published in the early 1900s and outdated in certain areas, Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion is still an essential read for anyone interested in Greek Religion.

The book contains a clear ...             Opening Game in Chess1 review Ludek Pachman The Merlin Press Ltd, 1988 If you are under 1800 and you see this book,buy it! Ludek Pachman is an under-recognized chess writer. He is one of thiose rare writers who is a grandmaster yet knows how to write to an audience of developing players.
