Among the Soldiers of Ward 57
by Michael Weisskopf Oct 2006
 (3 reviews)List: $25.00
320 pages, Hardcover
Henry Holt and Co
| Mike Weisskopf (a reporter) lost his hand the night a grenade bounced into the HMMWV he was riding in. He picked it up, and tossed it out of the vehicle - and it blew up pretty much in his hand, blowing it off - but, incidentally, saving the lives of the soldiers in the vehicle.

William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology
by Simon Winchester Aug 2002
 (92 reviews)List: $13.95
352 pages, Paperback
Harper Perennial
| An immensely readable book on what amounts to the invention of geology, oddly enough via geography.
Were I teaching those subjects in high school or college these days, my students would be reading that book. It wouldn't reach all of them, certainly, but the ripples of interest would spread wider. | Biographies & Memoirs

by Simon Winchester Oct 2004
(51 reviews)List: $13.95
288 pages, Paperback
Oxford University Press, USA
| Winchester illustrates the drama of the soap opera that was the compilation and publishing of the Oxford English Dictionary. What a debt we owe the people, especially James Murray, that managed to "get 'r done!".

The Commanding General of Abu Ghraib Tells Her Story
by Janis Karpinski Oct 2005
 (24 reviews)List: $24.95
256 pages, Hardcover
Miramax Books
| One of the most poorly edited and written books I've read in a long time. It was, despite its flaws, a fascinating read.
And I believe, based on her own words, she deserved to be relieved, and probably not prosecuted for dereliction. | Biographies & Memoirs

Penguin (Non-Classics)
| I love books like this, that take common things and make them, in a sense, uncommon, give them a sense of drama beyond what we'd imagine. If only textbook writers could master the telling of history like this.
