Books I recommend
Here are the books I reommend:
"The Artic Event" by James Cobb. A story of intriuge about a joint America and Soviet task force that head to Wednesday Island in the Artic, to remove anthrax from a Soviet Bomber that crashed in 1953 and was headed to spray its payload over the United States before a terror group or rouge nation get there first.
"History of Christianity" by Paul Johnson. This excellent book traces the Christian faith back to the days of Christ, explaining the divisions inside the religion back to its very roots. I could not put this book down!
"Greatest Man" by Jonathan Eig. The definitive read about the immortal Iron Horse of Baseball, Lou Gerhig. It tells the tale of Lous poor childhood, his rise to fame and his sad death in 1941. (He is the ball player that made Yankee Scout, Paul Kritchell exclaim on the phone to a very then disbelieving Yankee brass that he had "found another Ruth!!!". They soon found themselves feeling the same way).
