The Habsburg EmpireA New History
Pieter M. Judson
HA EuropeNowEditors PickHA TelegraphBest History Books for Christmas Selection
Pieter M. Judsons book informs and stimulates. If his account of
Habsburg achievements, especially in the 18th century, is rather
starry-eyed, it is a welcome corrective to the black legend usually
presented. Lucid, elegant, full of surprising and illuminating details,
it can be warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in
modern European history.

Carter J. Eckert
This pathbreaking book contributes to both modern Korean history
and Japanese colonial history by exploring the instruction that Park
Chung-hee (who went on to lead South Korea from 1961 to 1979) and
others of his generation received when they were oficer trainees in
the Japanese colonial army in the 1940s.

SommeInto the Breach
Hugh Sebag-Monteiore
HA TelegraphBest Book of the Year
[Sebag-Monteiore] utilizes the
intimate archives of letters, diaries,
and dispatches to produce a far
more detailed and individualized
portrait of the subject than earlier
big single-volume treatmentsThe
narrative moves easily from the
larger logistical tangles back at
headquarters to the experiences of
the men ighting in the front lines,
and Sebag-Monteiore is every bit
as authoritative writing about the
birth of air and tank warfare as he
is picking apart the psychologies of
the men involved[An] enormously
satisfying book.

CharlemagneJohannes Fried
Translated by Peter Lewis
Charlemagneis relentless in
the accumulation of detail and
austerely comprehensive in its
endnotesThis Charles the Great
is unmistakably Karl der Grosse
Matching the mood of our times,
blood-lecked Realpolitikand
smoldering religious intolerance
are very much to the foreFew
[Charlemagne biographies] capture
so well the unlovely realities of
Carolingian politics and the sheer
technical dificulty of ruling a
medieval empire in the ab sence
of a state apparatus.
Michael Kulikowski,
Wall Street Journal
In this splendid biography, Fried
shows that Charlemagne remains
a igure to b e reckoned with even
12 centuries after his death.

ThundersticksFirearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America
David J. Silverman
A good measure of a work of history is whether it changes the way we
understand its subject. By that measure, David J. Silverman succeeds
admirably in ThundersticksIn Silvermans sober, sprawling account,
America is a nation built on slaves and guns.
Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times Book Review
Silverman tells this sad and bloody story with verve, making this an
essential work for scholars of colonial encounters.

The War WithinDiaries from the Siege of Leningrad
Alexis PeriBy mining an extraordinarily rich treasure trove of unpublished diaries,
Peri moves beyond relating what happened during the blockade and
instead explains how Leningraders made sense of it. Sophisticated,
nuanced, and extremely well written, The War Withinis a major contri-
bution to our understanding of the mentality of Leningrads civilians
during the blockade and the role that diaries played in Soviet history.

In this bril liant and sweeping narrative, Maier shows how,
beginning in the seventeenth century, sovereignty and territory

of labor and capital, and forged domains of law and authority.

The Good OccupationAmerican Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace
Susan L. Carruthers
A disturbing look at the experiences of the after-army: the
American service-people who stayed on active duty after the
Second World War, charged with rebuilding the places they had
helped to destroy. Frank, often harsh voices from letters, diaries
and memoirs serve up inconvenient truths: the armed forces
caste system and racism; casual cruelty and venality trumping
conscience; fraternisation (and prostitution and rape) with
blowsy frauleins and anxious to please Japanese maids.

Legible ReligionBooks, Gods, and Rituals in Roman Culture
Duncan MacRae
With this book on the role of writing in Roman religion, MacRae
offers a reasoned and persuasive corrective to current scholar-
ship. While scholars center all too often on the importance of
ritual action and religious practice, Legible Religion provides a
timely and important reminder that writing, reading, and think-
ing about religion were just as essential to peoples religious
identities in the Roman world as were their sacriices and vows.

The Roots of Urban Renaissance
Gentrification and the Struggle over Harlem
Brian D. Goldstein
Weve waited far too long for a book like Goldsteins. We see, through
his efforts, how debates over community control, modernist and
insurgent architecture, and public/private partnerships owe much of
their ongoing salience to the experience of redevelopment in Harlem.
Indeed, if the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s captures a distinctive
cultural lowering, the Harlem of the 1960s and 1970s, in Goldsteins
able hands, similarly stands in for America.

Lysenkos GhostEpigenetics and Russia
Loren Graham
[Grahams] survey of the terrifying milieu in which Lysenko thrived
includes a discussion of the eugenics movement in the Soviet Union,
and the short book thus encompasses two major types of threat to
the integrity of scientiic inquiry: institutional interference from with-
out and political infection from within. The latter threat, in particular,
is ever presentGrahams survey of Lysenkoism and eugenics in
Soviet Russia contains important lessons about threats to the health
of science.

Andean surface area approaching
two million.
