So some time ago I made a thread in OT about maybe starting a SD.Net Book Club for swapping history books. Well I just got a small stash of books given to me from a good friend which I'm not going to be able to read in the near future. So if you're interested let me know, all I ask is that you pay for the shipping when you return 'em. (Or send them on to another interested party.)
The books:
Blood and Iron, From Bismarck to Hitler the von Moltke family's impact on German History.
By Otto Friedrich.
King Leopold's Ghost, A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa. By Adam Hochschild.
The Fall of Berlin, by Marshal Vasili I. Chuikov, Former Supreme Commander Soviet Land Forces.
The Zimmerman Telegram by Barbara Tuchman.
and The Russo-German War, 1941-1945 by Albert Seaton
I also have quite a few other books I'd be more than happy to send out which I'll record if there's any interest in these. Post a message on the book your interested (so nobody else claims it) and PM me your address and I'll let you know when I send it out.

'After 9/11, it was "You're with us or your with the terrorists." Now its "You're with Straha or you support racism."' ' - The Romulan Republic
'You're a bully putting on an air of civility while saying that everything western and/or capitalistic must be bad, and a lot of other posters (loomer, Stas Bush, Gandalf) are also going along with it for their own personal reasons (Stas in particular is looking through rose colored glasses)' - Darth Yan

Other books I'd be happy to lend out:
Vienna, 1814 by David King. It's a new book that just came out on the Congress of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. It's very well written and deals quite well with the Vienna Social Life and gives a moderate amount of detail on the negotiations too. It's not a heavily academic book by any means, but it's rather good I think.
A War Like No Other, Victor Davis Hanson.
A Critical History of Early Rome by Gary Forsythe
Ancient Historians by Michael Grant
69 A.D. By Morgan
The Ghosts of Vesuvius by Charles Pellegrino
The Romanization of Italy by Torelltini
Sexual Life in Ancient Rome by Otto Kiefer
World of Late Antiquity by Peter Brown
History of the Middle Ages by Joeseph Dahmus
The Bad Popes by Chamberlin
War in the Middle Ages by Philip Constantine
Great Military Defeats by Regan
After Imperialism by Akira Iriye
Embracing Defeat by John Dower
Game Over by David Sherif
Nelson by Vincent
To Rule the Waves by Arthur Hermann
Germany, America, Europe by Hanrieder
France Under the Germans by Burin
The Lions of July by William Jannen
Myth of the Eastern Front by Stewart and Davies
And there're about a dozen more which I'll post later.
