[History_students] History Club book suggestions

[Beiriger, Eugene]

Dear History Club members and friends:

At our last meeting we generated an almost student-only request for
recommended "good reads" and, thus, potential "wish list" additions for
the holidays.  If you wish to see additional material on the titles,
check with Amazon.com (or one of the other larger e-stores).  Hope you
enjoy...and feel free to respond to all with additional history titles.
