Counter-factual history.

Operation Barbarossa : Hitler's invasion of Russia, 1941 / by Glantz, David M. 39009040049039 04/16/2014 05/07/2014 0

Glantz is THE expert you want to read on regarding the Eastern Front.

I know I know, it's my 2nd reading, but Rick's writing is so entertaining lol.

Monty's men : the British Army and the liberation of Europe, 1944-5 / by Buckley, John (John D.) 39009050752100 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

Atkinson is pretty harsh on Monty, so let's look a bit close at how his Army faired, from a British point of view?

FDR and the Jews / by Breitman, Richard, 1947- 39009050543889 04/19/2014 05/10/2014 0

An intriguing subject, Jews were poorly treated by USA during those times; but should have a closer look.

Genesis : Truman, American Jews, and the origins of the Arab/Israeli conflict / by Judis, John B. 39009050789391 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

The above subject naturally leads to this.

Six months in 1945 : FDR, Stalin, Churchill, and Truman-- from world war to cold war / by Dobbs, Michael, 1948- 39009050446463 04/16/2014 05/07/2014 0

A pivotal period in history; I'm not that interested in the Cold War period, but still. Should read this long with a bio or expose on the Dulles brothers by Stephen Kinzer.

POLITICS

Chomsky and Dershowitz : on endless war and the end of civil liberties / by Friel, Howard, 1955- 39009050786975 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

I just know their name, not much, so thought this interesting.

HISTORY

This is a year around diary like entries on 1922, a very fun read.

Danubia : a personal history of Habsburg Europe / by Winder, Simon 39009040447761 04/28/2014 05/19/2014 0

I always was fascinated by the Habsburgs.

The restoration of Rome : barbarian popes and imperial pretenders / by Heather, P. J. (Peter J.) 39009050824982 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

This is probably the 3rd part of the Barbarian Trilogy by Heather, very looking forward to it as I'm interested in this period.

The savage storm : Britain on the brink in the age of Napoleon / by Andress, David, 1969- 39009050746771 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

Napoleonic Age is another period I'm interested in; from a Conservative British viewpoint? Why not.

I've read some Renaissance books from the 2nd part of last year. Let's continue. And of course I need to learn more about Art history.

Richard Wagner : a life in music / by Geck, Martin 39009050796610 05/01/2014 05/22/2014 0

Heard Wagner was a major pain in the ass lol. This is more of a technical biography, concentrating on his music and what Wagner sought to express by it.
