Google it, my friend. You’re not the first to use the term neo-racism. It’s a great term, so kudos for that.

I’d recommend The Discovery And Conquest Of Mexico .

Read it, both Diaz’ version and Prescott’s. Also read, years ago, THE FAIR GOD by Lew Wallace of Ben Hur fame.

Thanks for the title and also, the info about Dan Jones.

I've a LOT of books about the Plantagenets, as well as all of the other kings & queens of England, but somehow never ran across anything by Dan Jones. New author and books for me to track down and read.

have you ever read "SAMUEL JOHNSON, by W. Jackson Meyers? It's a good read and you may enjoy it.

Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to imagine Johnson and Burke, sitting together, in a coffee house, a tavern, or anywhere at all and NOT talking about politics? LOL...impossible to imagine!

Thanks for the link; yes, I am VERY interested in that era! I'm very interested in the Victoria/Edwardian/"Bright Young Things" eras in the UK and have many, many books on them...not to mention the books I have by and about Churchill and his ancestors.

At this rate, I'm going to have to try to rework my library, so that I have room for all of these new books. LOL

I recently discovered Connolly’s books, and haven’t noticed too much of the political correctness yet.

Louise Penney is one of the authors on my list, and she is VERY politically correct. The rural setting and the main character make the stories really interesting.

The complete series by Vince Foster.

I'm guessing you meant Vince Flynn (American Assassin), not Foster. I don't think Vince Foster has been published lately, except possibly as a ghost writer :-)

I just finished a book from a new author (her first novel) called “Five Fathoms Beneath”, by J. R. Alcyone.

She’s a great writer, a friend of mine, and a good conservative, small-government kind of woman. It’s a good read. It’s not a political story at all.

I've got a book I've technically started, but haven't got much more than the introduction under my belt -- "Mark Antony's Heroes: How the Third Gallica Legion Saved an Apostle and Created an Emperor" by Stephen Dando-Collins. I see an mp3 unabridged audiobook version is available, will have to track that down. :^) I've read at least one of the other titles by the same author, I don't always care for his point of view coming through as it does, but still enjoy his work.
