Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase For Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson. Pulled from actual accounts from a variety of people, it puts them all together into a narrative of what will always be the greatest American chase scene.
Death's Men by James Winter. WWI told from the British and colonial soldiers' points of view, pulled from collected memoirs and first-hand accounts. Winter assembles and sifts through all these accounts to present the experience of the men in the trenches rather than those moving chess pieces on the map.

Troy : Lord of the Silver Bow - by the now sadly late David Gremmel.

A lot of plotting leading up to the war, with lost love and slaughter of prisoners. Even a hero that is not always nice

David Gemmell passed away? When?

Pierre Briant : "From Cyrus to Alexander: A History of the Persian Empire "

Yes, David Gemmell passed, and its unfortuante. The new Troy series is quite good.

Does anyone have good sourcebooks/histories on Pergammon or Syracuse? I cant seem to find anything worthwhile in print on amazon or barnesandnoble.
