The Desert Baron Written by Conrad Creasy
This is a history lesson pertaining to pre-WWI and during WWI, and even a few bits about the start of WWII. The Desert Baron was Friedrich Kress von Kressenstein, who I will refer to as Kress in this review. Kress was a war hero as well as a very decent humanitarian when it came to planning, fighting, and concluding a battle. He was a rare tactical expert beyond most other leaders and became quite well known by other officers and government decision makers.

An Honorable German Written by Charles McCain
I have read many books about various wars. WWII has always been my favorite war to read about and study since I was seven-years old when it started. That day, December 7, 1941 will never be forgotten by me. I know where I was and what my family was doing there. However, I have never read a book that so vividly took me into the heart of Germany and into the shoes of a German military member as he served his nation.

How About the Real Scoop on the Reagan Administration – Book Review
Believe it or not Ronald Reagan has had some 300 books written about him over the years, far more than any of his contemporaries, or our former heads of state. Of course, history tells us why, and we should not be surprised. Still, having read perhaps 5 or more books over the years on this president, most favorable, a couple not, I have come to the conclusion that the best book about his days in office is a book that I’d surely like to recommend to you.
