I am drooling over some of the titles.
One in particular:
Cables from Kabul: The Inside Story of the West’s Afghanistan Campaign. By Sherard Cowper-Coles. Harper Press; 312 pages; £25. Buy from Amazon.co.uk

1. I've been looking for a history of Italy, esp. the Resorgimento.

Thanks for the list, even if the Science choices seem a bit uninspiring.
