| 2. |  | Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.56 Customer Review:  Another mighty tour de force from Ferguson, aided by some super smart research helpers at Oxford and Harvard. Following on from his earlier 'Empire', which redressed the balance towards the plus side of the British empire after so much liberal bashing, Ferguson argues that imperial power is not... |

| 3. |  | Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power from Basic Books Price: $13.84 Customer Review:  I read one review that bewailed the advantage taken by British soldiers, of less well armed adversaries. How silly is that, if I were fighting I should request, nay, demand, any advantage over the enemy.(Compare the War in Iraq) We are a silly generation...Empire was good and bad,, mostly, the... |

| 4. |  | The War of the World from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $12.24 Customer Review: The French defeat in WW II was caused by poor leadership. Troops and war materiel were abundant. The British were lucky at Dunkirk. Britain had a maritime advantage. It also had an air advantage. Blitzkrieg was invented by the British, but used by the Germans. After the occupation of Poland, Himmler... |

| 5. |  | The House of Rothschild: Volume 1: Money's Prophets: 1798-1848 from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $16.50 Customer Review:  What has Ferguson not told about the Rothschilds in his seemingly exhaustive two volume set? He all too facilely dismisses Victor Rothschild's being the fifth man in the World War II Soviet spy ring of Blunt, Burgess, et. al. He does not bring up the 1776 Masonic Illuminati order of Adam... |

| 6. |  | The Cash Nexus: Economics And Politics From The Age Of Warfare Through The Age Of Welfare, 1700-2000 from Basic Books Price: $16.76 Customer Review: Ferguson writes another of his trademark power histories with a grand narrative and an attempt to scale the mighty themes. The Cash Nexus, taken from Carlye's quote about money and political power, examines the paradigms of money and warfare in the modern world. He writes interestingly about... |

| 7. |  | The House of Rothschild: Volume 2: The World's Banker: 1849-1999 from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $16.50 Customer Review: What has Ferguson not told about the Rothschilds in this second volume of his seemingly exhaustive two volume set? He all too facilely dismisses Victor Rothschild's being the fifth man in the World War II Soviet spy ring of Blunt, Burgess, et. al. He dosen't discuss the Rothschilds' connection... |

| 8. |  | The Pity of War: Explaining World War I from Basic Books Price: $14.57 Customer Review:  I think the major conclusion of this book that World War I was was error, that World War I was the result of a series of miscalculations is the common wisdom. The conclusion is non-controverial. That World War I set the stage for World War II is again unspeculative. On the other hand many of the... |

| 9. |  | Virtual History: Alternatives and Counterfactuals from Basic Books Price: $17.72 Customer Review: Niall Ferguson has written several fine books that are must-reads for educated people. These include 'The Pity of War' (on WWI), 'The War of the World' (about the major conflicts in the 20th century including a stunning chapter on the 'armed slave labor camp' that was the Soviet Union), and this... |

| 10. |  | Colossus: The Price of America's Empire from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $17.13 Customer Review: Judging by the ominous title, one would think that Mr. Ferguson was warning of the dangers of empire. In fact, the heart of his argument is that the world would be a much better place if the U.S. was to welcome its adopted "imperial" role as defender of global order. The paradox, according to... |

| 11. |  | Paper and Iron: Hamburg Business and German Politics in the Era of Inflation, 1897-1927 from Cambridge University Press Price: $63.00 Customer Review: Neil Ferguson's first book is a provocative, erudite treatise that challenges much of the more recent writing on Germany's great inflation. Following Carl-Ludwig Holtferich's pathbreaking work, a consensus had begun to emerge that sees the mark's fall as part of a successful strategy that maintained... |

| 12. |  | Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $16.32 | |
| 13. |  | The Middle Parts of Fortune (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Books Ltd Customer Review: This book has a somewhat inflated reputation, due in part to the language (use of the "f word") which was very daring for its time. Many of the characters are one-dimensional and forgettable. The main protagonist is impossibly noble, staying in the lower ranks instead of taking an easy promotion.... |

Price: $5.95 Customer Review: This article contains the major thesis of Ferguson's work, 'Colossus'. It argues that the United States is an Empire in denial of its historical role and responsibility. He argues that the United States should be more, and not less involved in the world , especially in economic and cultural ventures... |
