If you read one book this summer make it:

The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift and America's Finest Hour - Andrei Cherny

This is the best non-fiction book I've read in a long time. Anyone doubting our abilities to convert a culture into a democracy needs to read this book.

I am now on to:

"Monster of Florence" - Douglas Preston.
Very good look back at the real case of the Florence serial killings which were the basis for a lot of the Hannibal Lecter books.

The Majesty of Law; Sandra Day O’Connor

I was often unhappy with O’Connor as a Supreme Court justice, but I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the Constitution and wants to know why we have come so far from the vision of the Framers of the Constitution. Many of the court cases that brought us to where we are are discussed in this book and it makes it all a little clearer. It is a well written book, and interesting to read some of the history of the court. This book came out when she was still on the bench, but I am just now getting around to reading it. The great thing is it can be found cheap now.
