1.		Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall from Granta Books Price: £5.59 Customer Review: I picked this up after watching "The Lives of Others." The book is well written, mixing evocative (sometimes over-elaborate) reflections with a much more sparse style when retelling some of the scarcely believable stories of the misery of life in the GDR. Some of her observations are very sharp,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine from Oneworld Publications Price: £8.99 Customer Review: A real eye opener. This book may be a little difficult for some to come to terms with and for others even more difficult to accept.

A Long Long War: Voices from the British Army in Northern Ireland 1969-98 from Helion & Company Price: £17.50 Customer Review: On completing several tours over the water myself I found this book held every opinion I heard by my collegues when serving over there.

Special Forces Pilot: A Flying Memoir of the Falkland War from Pen & Sword Aviation Price: £13.99 Customer Review: I received my copy of 'Special Forces Pilot' the day after publication after having waited patiently for publication.

6.		The Cold War from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Silly, jingoistic, pulp history shot through with half truths, unsupported and unsupportable claims and distortions. John Lewis Gaddis is a history professor at Yale University but how he can draw so many stupid conclusions from the Cold War is beyond me.

8.		The Cold War: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from OUP Oxford Price: £4.19 Customer Review: The VSI series doesn't always work for me. If I invest time to read any non-fiction book, I expect it to better than a few internet articles.
