Excellent

Revisado: 01-08-22

O’Reilly ties from the beginning of the mafia in America and Cicely to modern times. Covering Bonnie and Clyde, through Capone, Bugsy , to John Gotti. And Hoover was present most of the time.
Excellent read! It’s on my favorite shelf.

Yellow Fever in Memphis

Revisado: 04-13-20

Yellow fever ravaged Memphis, peaking in 1878. The city went from a population of 47,000 to 19k in months. This book covers its origins in Africa, describes daily living, medical care, churches, and the deaths and burials of the victims.
The epidemic sparked a virologist coordinated lead team which tackled the disease. Walter Reed was a leader during the research. My great 3x grandparents and 6 other relatives died in the epidemic and are buried together in a family plot.

Suspenseful

Revisado: 11-02-19

Another excellent Patterson book. An FBI agent has been marginalized during her career. Her determination lead to the discovery and conclusion to the countries most violin serial killer. His crimes were over a very large area and covered up in fires. Who he was, was shocking.

Expansion West

Revisado: 06-12-19

McCullough does another great job of research and story telling. A rather unknown American picked up from the American Revolution and expanded the Inited States. Reverend, Dr., Manasseh Cutler was extremely pivotal in our growth west into the Ohio Region.

Behind the scenes of the final days of the Nazi holocaust officers

Revisado: 11-04-18

Bill O’Reilly has written another excellent book. We know the history in his “Killing...” series. However, the behind the scenes details is what sets the series apart. In Killing the SS, O’Reilly tells the stories of the Nazi officers that escaped after the war and how the Israeli Nazi-hunters track down the 3,000 people who played a large part in the Jewish holocaust for Hitler. Many of them lived in South America. They were hunted and found. Some were executed. Many were eventually set free. Several were sheltered by other countries including the U. S. I recommend this book for those interested in knowing the final end of the Nazi regime after the war.

Sir,I’m about to complete Beneath two Scarlet Sky. 90% of the time I read historical and biographical books. Beneath ... is the best “novel” on my bookshelf. I will read your others. Which do you recommend, other than all of them? Keep it up!

I recommend Lone Survivor

Revisado: 02-06-18

The heroism of our soldiers is grand. Aside from that, the takeaway from the book is how much different our cultures are so much different. Both, good and bad. I recommend reading this book.

Bataan Death March is a must read about humanity

Revisado: 08-22-17

The most riveting and graphic book I have ever read. All H.S. students should read to understand how horrible is war and how we should never treat each other. Also to learn how our indoctrination, usually how we are raised and how cultures can get it wrong.
