Three Years With Quantrill
Although I don't like giving a 5 star rating to any book this book deserves 6! This is the real stuff, pre WWII, pre WWI, PRE-TV! It was written at a time before historic brainwashing by movies and television existed. Before people were self conscious about telling the truth. We can see the actual format of the "Civil" War sentiments. He reveals the concepts of dying, of The North, Slavery, and other aspects of the era that we are usually forced to accept from modern day writings, reflecting only current, politically correct viewpoints. The down to earth flow of this book is very enjoyable and is great reading for anyone with interest in this subject matter.
Excellent firsthand information
If you are looking for truth about what happened in Missouri during the War betwen the states this book is for you. The best way to learn what really happened is to read firsthand accounts and that's what this book offers. No one sided historical author can screwup or argue with accurate eyewitness reports. This book records the pure hard facts.

a must read
I could not put this down. It is a funny, warm, and insightful jam session on the subjects of literature, jazz, and American culture. This is a must have for any student of those subjects. It's also gives fascinating background into the lives and intellectual development of these literary giants.
Music on the Page
This is an excellent book. Fans of Ellison and Murray will appreciate the intimate look at the lives of these writers that can be gained from reading the letters published in this work. Moreover, the call and response nature of the letters beautifully mimic that which can be heard in some of the classic jazz and gospel songs of America. You'll have a hard time putting this one down...

Complete History of a WW II Engineer Combat Battalion
"Unbroken Line" tells the story of the 51st Engineer Combat Battalion. It is quite certainly the best history in or out of print that has been written about a battalion-sized unit in World War II. It covers completely and in lucid, readable style its activation; organization; individual, unit and combined training; landing on Utah Beach 3 weeks after D-Day; support of infantry and airborne divisions across Europe to the Danube River; its crucial role in the Battle of the Bulge where it earned the U.S. Presidential Citation and the French Croix de Guerre; and its construction under fire of the heavy ponton bridge across the Rhine River at Remagen, the longest such bridge ever constructed by the US Army in combat. Maps are detailed, accurate and vividly portray the operations described in the text. The battalion's histroy comes alive with quotes from letters to home written by members of the battalion. For the researcher of World War II training and combat operations at battalion level, this book is a must. For the reader interested in general in World War II , this book is highly readable and entertaining.
Fiftynine Years Late the Story is Finally Told
Fiftynine years after the event the amazing story of the exploits of the 51st Engineer Combat Battalion is finally told. This book was written by a member of the 51st ECB and edited by his son. Small elements of the 51st ECB stopped five German divisions for five critical days during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. The unit was later awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for their actions. Any serious student of U. S. Army operations in WW II in Europe will find this book rewarding and informative reading. The maps are well deliniated and detailed. The photos tell a great part of of the story and many have never been published before.

Detailed Scholarship!
I must admit that I thought that this book was out of print. I read Broadus' commentary on the book of Matthew in 1983 when attending Bible college. Since that time I have often borrowed a copy of the book from others for reference sake. This book details the first book of the New Testament with amazing scholarship. Broadus digs deep into the 1st Century A.D. and brings out the manners and customs of the day and uses the information to bring color to the Biblical story of Jesus Christ's life as recorded by Matthew. It also cross references to the other three gospels and puts together a detailed and complete record of Christ's journey on earth.
I like the book because it takes the subject seriously and seeks to examine the very words in the Book of Matthew -- not just paraphrase it as I have often seen other authors do. It is not a novel -- it is a reference guide must for anyone serious about knowing the gospel according to Matthew.

Best all around book on Ancient Egypt
Of all the one volume surveys of Ancient Egypt that I've read, this remains my favorite for its easy, flowing style. It may be old, but it doesn't seem a bit dated. I reread this book periodically and would recommend it strongly. It is enjoyable as well as informative.

Wesley isn't archaic Theology
A wonderfully understandable synthesis of how Weslayan thought is relevant to this new milleniun and can bring about agreement of both liberal and conservative thinkers. It can serve as a basis for the much needed 3rd American revival in Christ.

Extremely informative, for old and new Catholics
I read this book for the first time back in 1965-1966. I have shared this book with several of my catholic friends who found the book to be exqusided. I have the May 1953 editition. Naturally I had to order the revised edition. Since reading the new edition I find it very, very informative. and I highly recommend it be read by all old and new Catholics. It will answer many if not most of the questions you have about the Catholic Faith. God Bless You!
