12.		Black Hawk Down from Corgi Books Price: Customer Review: Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden is an intense book about a U.S. military mission that started out as a seemingly easy assignment, but went terribly wrong.

14.		The Emergency Teacher: The Inspirational Story of a New Teacher in an Inner City School from Skyhorse Publishing List Price: $24.95 Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (33%) Customer Review: It is fair to note that had Christina Asquith taught in a more affluent part of Philadelphia or a middle class suburban community, she probably couldn't write a book about her one-year experience as a teacher. Before being trained as such (even trained teachers have to struggle in the beginning by... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		Our Finest Day: D-Day, June 6, 1944 from Chronicle Books Price: Customer Review: Despite its brevity, this book is both informative and revealing. Bowden gives a good overview of what preceded and led up to D-Day. He describes Operation Overlord and the German defenses on the French coast, as well as the air and land assault plans. Especially interesting are the authentic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Black Hawk Down A Story of Modern War from Atlantic Monthly Press Price: Customer Review: In 1993, George Bush hailed the collapse of Russian Communism as a "New World Order."

20.		Road Work: Among Tyrants, Beasts, Heroes, and Rogues from Grove/Atlantic Price: Customer Review: I love these anthology works -- it sure beats hunting down all the pieces online or whatever.
