Ian Ross is on page 300 of 560 of The Woman They Could Not Silence
This is a well researched and excellent analysis of a woman who fought for the rights and reforming for women on the eastern coast. Around 1860, the main character was admitted by her own husband, Theophilus to be carefully and cruelly put in an insane asylum. Her name was Elizabeth and what she did to defy the head superintendent who oversees her staff who work with her there is beyond belief!

This book is a treasure! It forces the reader to imagine the hardworking life of A very young lady who was very fortunate in her courageous efforts once she is picked as the personal librarian (hence the title here) to J.P. Morgan! She learns to attempt and adapt by discussions with the man Morgan himself and other relationships outside his circle of trust with other very rich tycoons’ like the Vanderbilts.

It’s a very interesting snd luxurious blend of well written documentation and appealing stories that really has you wondering more about this era of time as well as the people. To be more specific, it is so interesting and worthwhile reading about how important and yet necessary was the survival of this president snd his legacy to the country. Im waiting until every next page of this suspenseful drama of American

Ian Ross is on page 302 of 438 of Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939
It is provocative and makes new and interestingly insightful observations on how these people suffered in the hands of Francis Franco and how Hitler and Mussolini’s terribly (helping?) the Rebels on Franco's side, were forever showing how the needs of the many were always in stark contrast and disarray compared with those of the few elites

This was quite a romantic and yet true and appealingly thoughtful bio of the beginning to last years of this amazing presidents political achievements in life... Every tale you've heard that is rather more of a rumor whether that is true about the man himself and his political side is well revealed in this astounding new book by Erik
Foner!

Ian Ross is reading Einstein: His Life and Universe
This was a spectacular portrait of the man behind the image of whom everyone calls a genius! It was very much thought provoking and sensitive to treating his life somewhat speculatively, and altogether, it was a most enjoyable tour de force bio of Einstein and not just science he worked through but his personal life too!!
