    The great raid by William B Breuer- He has about 19 other titles as well that topic WWII.

    The real wild west by Michael Wallis- He also has other titles that topic Route 66 and American culture.

    The politically incorrect guide to...by Clint Johnson- I've read the PIG(pol inc gde) to the South and to the Constitution. He also has titles that cover the civil war and other books in the PIG series.

                I don't have much time before work, but are these books and the ones you're referring to fiction or non-fiction?

                    Another Amazon question: Is this just for Amazon US, or their international stores, as well?

                      The great raid you already have in movie form at the aStore. Its about the WWII Ranger rescue at Cabanatuan, non-fiction.

                      Michael Wallis is non-fiction, American history and pop-culture.

                      Clint Johnson is history and govt, non-fiction. I have the mentioned titles but like the Authors, plan on reading them sometime.

                              Thanks Johnny... I've got the two non-fiction military history titles you listed, but I've yet to create categories for fiction, and will need to create something for political history.
