Why in the name of common sense and simple humanity did Germany fight on long after the war was hopelessly lost ? An absolutely brilliant study of fanatical and delusional Nazis, a cowed military, and of course a weary, fearful, citizenry just hoping it would all end. Kershaw's finest work since his unexcelled biography of Hitler. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

The tumultuous year following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is chronicled in this meticulously researched book. Although America was caught totally unawares on December 7, 1941, its fleet of carriers was at sea. It would prove to be a decisive factor in the Battle of the Coral Sea and at Midway the following year. Mr. Toll recounts the conflict from both the American and Japanese perspectives and presents a harrowing and hellish picture of warfare at sea. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

Schindler may have saved 10,000 people and made money doing it. Rauol Wallenberg probably saved 100,000 and ultimately paid for it with his life. Alex Kershaw at his best: incisive, smooth and memorable. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

As World War II ended, a special force of American and British art experts searched northern Europe, on a mission to prevent the Germans from destroying the art treasures they'd confiscated. A great read. ~ Reviewed by Louise Jones
