{{newreview
|title=Golden Parasol
|author=Wendy Law-Yone
|rating=5
|genre=History
|summary=If you look her up Wendy Law-Yone is described as a Burmese-born American author. That ''Burmese-born American'' might be an accurate description of her current citizenship, but it barely hints at the ethnic mix of her heritage, nor of her personal closeness (through her father) to her original homeland's struggle for freedom and democracy.

{{newreview
|title=The Great War: The People's Story
|summary=One could argue that the main title of this book is slightly questionable. Throughout the half-century or so before the outbreak of hostilities in 1914, Europe had rarely been free from conflict, with the Franco-Prussian, Graeco-Turkish and Balkan wars for a start. Nevertheless, the majority of the continent was at peace with itself and most of its neighbours during this period.

|author=Vincent Bugliosi
|title=Parkland
|rating=4.5
|genre=History
|summary=''Parkland'' is not just a book about history but a book ''with'' a history. Vincent Bugliosi published ''Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy'' in 2007 with much of the book being based on his preparation for a mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald which was shown on British television. This book was an exhaustive look at what happened in Dallas and at subsequent events such as the trial of Jack Ruby and the conspiracy theories which have abounded in the intervening fifty years. ''Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy'' was published in June 2008 and is - as the title suggests - restricted to what happened on 22 November 1963 and the following three days. ''Parkland'' is the film tie-in version of that book.
