| 2. |  | Valor's Trial (Confederation)
from Tantor Media
Price: $19.79
Customer Review:
I loved all the books in the Valor series and Valor's Trial was just as much fun as the others. This one brought in some new characters, introduced us to soldiers from the "Others" and brought explanations for the war. I really enjoyed this book and found it a smooth trip to the end of the series.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Originally, Fred Anderson wrote Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of the Empire in British North America.

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.78
Customer Review:
Borneman's French and Indian War provided me with exactly what I was looking for: a popular history of the war that maintains the momentum of its narrative without omitting crucial details. It was a good sign when in the front I found two items that are so critical to this genre: the chronology of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | A Rifleman Went to War
from Lancer Militaria
Price: $29.95
Customer Review:
This book is a must read for riflemen. This is the classic account detailing rifle use during trench warfare with a focus on sniping. This book was even used as a text when the U.S. military "rediscovered" sniping after the quiet times following WW I, WW II, and Korea. Also look for his other work,... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $17.60
Customer Review:
This gem of a book approaches all of its subjects with deep humanity and keen intelligence. Some of Greer's conclusions will inevitably be controversial, given the subject matter. But having read dozens of academic history books on natives and Europeans, I know of only a few that unfold with such... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Well, this is a little tough to review because it was not the easiest read. So, unless you really love the sea and stories about tough men working in the scariest of environments, you will have a tough time finishing this book. However, Farley Mowat does capture the essence of what it was like for... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
