Vietnam: The Bloodbath at Hamburger Hill. Talk about courage under fire. The soldiers at Hamburger Hill fought for eight straight days to capture a small piece of Vietnam’s countryside, which chewed soldiers up just like chopped meat. No wonder Patrick Power (just 19 years old) was frightened. Wouldn’t you be if you were in his shoes?

Superbugs. Superbugs, bacterial diseases and infections that have become immune to current antibiotics, are getting much more common.

What makes a superbug, and why are they becoming more and more frequent? Is there anything that we can do to protect ourselves from superbugs? Here is an exciting book that answers these questions as well as so many others.

Living Through The Mexican-American War. Why was the Mexican-American War so important to the modern United States’ formation? Could Texas really have survived as an independent nation or as part of Mexico?

This book seeks to relate the overall events and chronology of the war and shows its impact on everyday lives.

The book does an excellent job of presenting the conflict as well as other related stories, covering the years 1821 to 1849. The book itself has a nice layout and is colorful. There’s a mix of photos, maps, illustrations, and colored sidebars that bring some visual interest to the pages. There’s a nice added touch of the “worn/burnt” edges look on every page. It’s details such as this that set a book like this above the rest about a topic like this.
