Another interesting author is William Shirer who has 7 books on bookshare. I recently read 20th century Journey, his memoirs which was interesting. Many of his writings deal with the rise and fall of Hitler's Germany Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Roderick" <Richard@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 4:33 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] history > Hi everyone, > > I am actually shortening a subject line.
