ALEXANDER POPE, by Peter Quennell. A considered, selective and urbane biography of the great 18th century poet, satirist and curmudgeon.

SILENCE ON MONTE SOLE, by Jack Olsen. An account of the Nazi liquidation of 1,800 people on an Italian mountainside that draws its strength from the author's careful research and unrhetorical style.

THE ARMS OF KRUPP, by William Manchester. The "smokestack barons" of the Ruhr, whose arsenal armed Germany in two world wars, are portrayed in an encyclopedic history of their most powerful and eccentric family.

MILLAIS AND THE RUSKINS, by Mary Lutyens. The odd marriage of the Victorian critic and esthete is given an enlightened going-over by a British biographer.
