History of the Habsburg Empire 1526 1918
by
Robert A Kann
Don Eveland
, December 17, 2011
This book is a fine overview of The Habsburg Empire. I mean that in a good way as, though a summary of the nearly 400 years The Habsburgs ruled a group of diverse ethnic groups in southwestern Europe, the author Robert A. Kann, intrigues one into wanting to know more about this fascinating empire that went down in flames due to it's diverse ethnicity.

The Seige is a fascinating account of a little publicized period in history. Extremely interesting and filled with anecdotes describing life in Leningrad during 1941-1944. This is important to understand deeper the human cost of war.

Profiles In Courage 50th Anniversary
by
John F Kennedy
Don Eveland
, November 09, 2011
I recently reread JFK's profiles in courage and found it to more pertinent to our times than ever before. The courage of the men described still epitomizes the Kennedy quote "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country.". The current politicians would do well to read Profiles in Courage.

Terrible Year The Paris Commune 1871
by
Alistair Horne
Don Eveland
, October 28, 2011
The Terrible Year is also known as The Fall of Paris, one of Horne's trilogy about the 3 wars from 1870 to 1945. It brought to light the Seige, and the Commune, two periods of time closely connected to the growth of Prussia. The Seige section was very good as to the amount of information and description of the surrounding of Paris by the Prussians and the capitulation by Paris which created the vacuum by which the Commune came about. Horne used many "vignettes" to describe life during the Seige, as well as the Commune. I think it taught the lesson of how anarchy is not a way to civilization. The description of the "burning of Paris" was disheartening. To see Paris now and compare it with its history. I highly recommend this book for folks interested in history as well as learning about Paris.
