I don't care what this dimwit says, "Salt" is a great piece of historical writing. I learned all kinds of stuff from it.
Very highly reccomended. Really.

I would say they are all great picks and his selecting "The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History" by Barry is kinda scary!

I agree completely. I read it twice over a couple of year period. It explained more about the spread of civilization than any history text I have come across. It is completely non-ideological and factual.

We can see why liberalism has gotten us into so much trouble. What Bush is doing is excellent strategic work - using a past analogy to help understand future scenarios. Typical liberal - the writer doesn't even understand this. It's over his head!
