This Glorious Struggle, by Edward Lengel
http://bfgb.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 14/ this-glorious-struggle-by-edward-lengel…It isn’t hard to find George Washington hagiographies. Starting with Mason Locke Weems and the legendary cherry tree, writers have treated Washington as superhuman and above reproach. That is not to imply that he isn’t a great man - his resolve to walk away from the Presidency is probably the best example of his rectitude - but he was not the man many historians would have us admire.

http://www.flamesrising.com/ one-who-walked-alone-review/One Who Walked Alone Review By Flames | May 14, 2008 Like a lot of folks ’round these parts, I’m a huge fan of Robert E. Howard.

THE WAR
http://www.mcnallyrobinsonnyc.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ the-war/by Marguerite Duras (W.W. Norton, $14.95) Duras can lacerate with her words, even when she’s writing about love, so imagine how she writes about war, occupation, Holocaust and treachery. This is an account of her personal experiences, including waiting, almost dead with anxiety, to see if her husband would come home from a concentration camp.

A Million Little Fictions
http://christophercocca.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ a-million-little-fictions/“Nothing in this book should be considered accurate or reliable.” So says the first page of James Frey’s new book. Frey sold “A Million Little Pieces” and “My Friend Leonard” on the premise that the stories they recount were capital-T-True and I get why that was wrong.
