Anglo

Quigley Carroll

G. S. G. & Associates, Incorporated, 1981

THIS BOOK IS THE GRANDADDY OF THEM ALL
The book gets five stars, not for holding one's interest nor its readability, but rather because it not only devolves the origins of the hidden criminal elements that were soon to control the US government, but more importantly, it devolves the tactics used to achieve ...

The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British

Sarah Lyall

W. W. Norton, 2008

Oh, to be in England!
Sarah Lyall has given us poor colonials a wonder, funny, and dead-on accurate depiction of our UK cousins. I literally could not put down this wee tome down until I finished it--laughing much of the way--in a single sitting.

The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers

George MacDonald Fraser

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

Thorough, well-structured, and entertaining
Until England and Scotland were united under a single king in March 1603, the border between them was, unsurprisingly, a natural place for strife and disorder. The two countries had been at war intermittently for centuries, and many armies had passed back and forth ...

A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order

F. William Engdahl

Pluto Press, 2004

Great; Terribly Important
I had long put off ordering and reading this book. The subtitle, which implies essentially that this past century of war was all about a struggle for oil dominance, had seemed to me a very limited argument. But Engdahl's book was so heavily referenced in E. H. ...

The Line Upon a Wind: The Great War at Sea, 1793-1815

Noel Mostert

W. W. Norton, 2008

A cogent, thoughtful history of a great naval war
Noel Moestert's "The Line Upon a Wind: the Great War at Sea, 1793-1815" is a massive (over 700 pages of text) account of the nautical side of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (with American War of 1812 as well), extending from the first action between ...

Avalon: A Novel

Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2006

A fine work of engaging and event-filled historical fiction and romance
A wonderful historical saga of the tenth century. Rumon, descendaant of Charlemagne and King Arthur journeys from his native Provence to England, which is being torn apart by rifts between Christian and pagan, and violent invasions and raids by Vikings and Danes. He ...

Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)

W. W. Norton, 2002

Much more than an old parchment...
Most people probably think Beowulf is still read merely because it's old. Well, it is old. Wow it's old. Hoary and whiskery old. Best estimates place the composition somewhere between the 7th and 10th centuries A.D. One can speak in terms of millenia when speaking of ...

The Mists of Avalon

Marion Zimmer Bradley

Ballantine Books, 1982

The Mists of Avalon
This is one of my all time favorites. I bought this copy as a gift for a friend. Nearly every literate person has heard the tales of Camelot and King Arthur. This classic novel expertly focuses on the women's perspective. I've read it several times and find insights ...

The Cousins' Wars: Religion, Politics, Civil Warfare, And The Triumph Of Anglo-America

Kevin Phillips

Basic Books, 1999

The best book on American history i have ever read
This is an amazing book, written, not by a formal scholar, but someone who made history himself, through his political activism for the Republican party in the late 60s. Kevin Phillips has clearly developed intellectually since then. Reading this book, and especially ...

Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules: 2002 Revision/2005 Update

The American Library Association (ALA), The Canadian Library Association (Cla), ...

American Library Association, 2005

Great
New book in great condition. Delivered quickly. The book did not come with a 3-ring binder. So basically the book is several hundred unbound pages which are already hole-punched.

To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right

Joyce Lee Malcolm

Harvard University Press, 1996

Funk's Commentary in the Howard Law Journal
From T. Markus Funk, "Is the Second Amendment Really Such a Riddle? Tracing the Historical "Origins of an Anglo-American Right" 39 Howard Law Journal 411 (1995): Few topics of contemporary social, moral, and political debate can provoke as much raw emotion and open ...

The Anglo-Saxon World: An Anthology (Oxford World's Classics)

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

Fascinating Reading
I'm a homeschooled student (in 10th grade). I read this book as part of a course on early European history, and have also referred to it while studying the history of the English language. Most of the translations are very accessible to the modern reader on their own, ...

A Tradition of Victory (The Bolitho Novels) (Vol 14)

Alexander Kent

McBooks Press, 2000

A Tradition of Victory
Book #14 in this extensive series is no less filled with the excitement and drama of ficticious naval history. Alexander Kent pulls no punches when it comes to the not-so-romantic life at sea of the 1700-1800's. A must read for Bolitho fans. And the genius of Kent ...

The Anglo-Saxons (Penguin History)

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1991

A great introduction
This well-illustrated volume provides an excellent introduction to the Anglo-Saxon period. The "picture essays" regarding coinage and other specialized topics help provide detail without interrupting what amounts to historic narrative. The problems of using source ...
