Marissa Day
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Corp, January 04, 2011
Review: Dark magic and even darker desires boil over in The Seduction of Miranda Prosper, a scorching tale by Marissa Day about a love that breaks all the rules…and shatters every taboo.
In the rarified atmosphere of London’s upper-crust society, the willful Miranda Prosper is widely considered unmarriageable. She is therefore stunned when handsome Corwin Rathe asks her to a waltz.

Corwin and his partner, Darius, are sorcerers engaged in a war against the treacherous Fae. And Miranda’s journey into their erotic world would be fraught with dangers—magical and physical—greater than any she could imagine….

Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan
Bing West
Publisher: Random House Trade Pub/Div Random House, February 22, 2011
Review: America cannot afford to lose the war in Afghanistan. Yet we can't seem to find a clear way to win. So argues combat veteran Bing West, backed by eight tours of the region's most violent provinces. In The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan, West exposes the real face of the war by taking us to the plains and mountains of this harsh and often inscrutable country, traveling with the troops, experiencing firefight after firefight, illuminating the nation of the country we wish to “build,” exposing the flaws of our leadership and scrutinizing the steps we are taking from the top down.
Counterinsurgency, West concludes, can't work in a shattered society against an enemy based in another country and with strong alliances among the very tribes we seek to control. What's needed is a new approach: Focus exclusively on training the Afghan army, support them with special ops and advisers, forget about American-led nation building and bring the troops home while maintaining a permanent advisory presence.
The Wrong War will stand as one of the definitive accounts of the conflict in Afghanistan, told by a war correspondent whose words carry the unmistakable ring of truth.

The Remote-Control Air War over Iraq and Afghanistan: A Pilot's Story
Matt J. Martin
Publisher: Motorbooks International Publishers, November 12, 2010
Review: The MQ-1 Predator is a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) used for observation, reconnaissance and targeted attacks. While this “drone” is viewed as an autonomous killing machine, the RPA has a crew—but one that remains on the ground, and sometimes far from the missions they’re flying. Ironically, due to the RPA’s monitors, these crews witness the effects of their attacks more closely than those flying traditional bombers.
Predator is Lt. Col. Matt J. Martin’s account of fighting the war on terror from the controls of an RPA. From his training in Nevada to his time in Iraq—where he and his crew witnessed the collateral damage of urban warfare—Martin illuminates a program that until recently was a largely classified secret.

The Pacific(sm)
Bild


Hugh Ambrose
Publisher: New American Library, Div. of Penguin, March 02, 2010
Review: In this companion to the HBO® miniseries—executive produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman—Hugh Ambrose reveals the intertwined odysseys of four U.S. Marines and a U.S. Navy carrier pilot during World War II.
Between America’s retreat from China in late November 1941 and the moment General MacArthur’s airplane touched down on the Japanese mainland in August of 1945, five men connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against Japan. From the debacle in Bataan, to the miracle at Midway and the relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, their solemn oaths to their country later led one to the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot and the others to the coral strongholds of Peleliu, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the killing fields of Okinawa, until at last the survivors enjoyed a triumphant, yet uneasy, return home.
In The Pacific(sm), Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of five men who put their lives on the line for our country. To deepen the story revealed in the miniseries and go beyond it, the book dares to chart a great ocean of enmity known as the Pacific and the brave men who fought. Some considered war a profession, others enlisted as citizen soldiers. Each man served in a different part of the war, but their respective duties required every ounce of their courage and their strength to defeat an enemy who preferred suicide to surrender. The medals for valor, which were pinned on three of them, came at a shocking price—a price paid in full by all.

A Short History of Private Life
Bill Bryson
Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc. Div Random House, October 05, 2010
Review: In his biggest book since A Short History of Nearly Everything, one of the most beloved and humorous authors of our time takes us on an epic journey through history, war, scientific progress and architectural design…all by taking a stroll around his house.
At Home begins with a simple realization: houses aren’t refuges from history; they’re where history ends up. Whatever happens in the world—social turmoil, the Industrial Revolution, new discoveries—eventually finds its way inside the home; look deeply enough at your house and you’ll see everything from the changes wrought by the invention of electricity to the effects of the guano trade on city life.
In his chapter on the bathroom, for instance, he regales us with tales of the rise and fall of personal hygiene, from the Romans, who elevated bathing to an art form, to Medieval times when people avoided water at all costs, to Benjamin Franklin, who liked to take “air baths” by basking naked by an open window, presumably to the consternation of his neighbors.
Also touching on the bloodshed caused by the spice trade, the intricacies of stair design and more, this is a fascinating look at why we live the way we do. It’s Bill Bryson at his best.

Mirjam Pressler
Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc. Div Random House, April 19, 2011
Review: The story behind Treasures From the Attic is as incredible as the tale it tells. When Helene Elias died, her daughter-in-law had no idea what she would find when she cleaned out her attic. Helene, as it turns out, was the aunt of Anne Frank, and over the years, she had saved some 6,000 family letters, documents and photographs from before, during and after the war.
In Treasures From the Attic, Anne Frank expert Mirjam Pressler sorted through this incredible find to piece together a fascinating account of the Frank family as they lived, loved and coped with devastating tragedy. As powerful and moving as any novel, this is an important book, one that offers new insights on Anne, her diary and the family that made her who she was.

Laurell K. Hamilton
Publisher: Ace Books Inc., November 01, 1998
Review: Jacket art by Luis Royo
Seems like everyone wants to get close to Anita Blake. Some want her protection. Some want to make love to her. A lot of others want a chunk of her hide. From the scars she wears, they've come close.
It's all in an evening's work for Anita. She raises the dead for a living, helps the St. Louis police solve crimes involving the preternatural, carries a license to kill vampires (who call her The Executioner) and doesn't take lip--or fang--from anybody.
In our first 3-in-1 collection, Club Vampyre... Anita confronts a 10-year-old girl who is also a 1,000-year-old vampire in Guilty Pleasures. And Jean-Claude, the world's sexiest dead man, slips into her life.
Ethics make Anita turn down a fortune to raise a 300-year-old zombie in The Laughing Corpse. Then she has to deal with the voodoo priestess who takes the job.
Before Anita can figure Jean-Claude out, she meets Richard, an idealistic alpha werewolf. When another vampire moves in, the fur really flies at the Circus of the Damned.
The Midnight Cafe finds our heroine developing her powers, social life and libido. And she buys a new set of silver knives.
While searching St. Louis for missing werewolves, Anita must keep her boyfriends from shredding each other at The Lunatic Cafe.
The Missouri countryside isn't safe either. Bloody Bones finds Anita tracking down an ancient evil and raising a zombie from a huge pile of bones.
There's a price on her head in The Killing Dance. And if Richard and Jean-Claude can stop bickering, they might be able to save her.
Now, in Black Moon Inn, our petite necromancer is facing her two toughest challenges to date.
One of them is the Vampire High Council. They've come to 'discipline' Jean-Claude. Burnt Offerings forces Anita to save the day...er, night.
In Blue Moon, Anita has to come to terms with herself--her growing powers, her needs and the men in her life--and get Richard, a high school teacher, out of the slammer before school starts.
Walk softly around this woman. Her Browning 9mm automatic is handy. And her silver knives are as sharp as Laurell K. Hamilton's writing. (613 pp.)

A Study in Sherlock

Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon
Lee Child
Publisher: Random House Inc., October 25, 2011
Review: In this irresistible new collection edited by award-winning Sherlockians Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger, 18 superstar authors—including Lee Child, Laura Lippman and Neil Gaiman—provide fascinating, thrilling and utterly original perspectives on Sherlock Holmes. These modern masters place the sleuth in suspenseful new situations, create characters who solve Holmesian mysteries, contemplate Holmes in his later years, fill gaps in the Sherlock Holmes Canon and reveal their own personal obsessions with the Great Detective.
Alan Bradley, for example, deftly displays the Master’s genius for drawing out a suspect—and then springing the trap—as Holmes goes undercover in a public park. Jacqueline Winspear imagines how a plucky young boy might have been inspired by Holmes to make his own deductions…and create his own detective. And three years after the great detective’s demise, Dr. Watson pays a visit to Holmes’ erstwhile landlady, Mrs. Hudson, only to be drawn into a case of pianos and poison, in Margaret Maron’s yarn.
Revealing new insights into Holmes with mystery, comedy and even illustrations, A Study in Sherlock is a perfect tribute to a timeless icon!

Review: At 91, Ptolemy Grey has already lost nearly all that’s mattered to him—and now his memory is going. He’s horribly neglected by his alcoholic son, Reggie, who’s supposed to be looking out for him, and he lives in squalor.

She gets his house in order, and then his mind as she talks to him about what he can remember. She knows she can’t stop his senility, but her kindness while caring for him at least keeps Ptolemy going, no matter what new surprises life has in store—including the murder of Reggie and the discovery of a suitcase buried under the clutter of Reggie’s life that’s about to change many lives....

Review: In Swan for the Money by Donna Andrews, Meg Langslow’s parents have a harmless new hobby: breeding and showing roses. Meg is relieved…until she’s asked to organize the Caerphilly Garden Club’s first annual rose competition. It’s bad enough the show is being hosted by the withering Mrs. Winkleson, who insists that everything on her farm—from the house to the animals—be black and white, but when two of her father’s entries are sabotaged, Meg must find the culprit.
Matters really start to shrivel when someone tries to kill Mrs. Winkleson. Was it an exhibitor or someone upset over the odd way she treats her animals? Would someone kill to win the coveted Black Swan trophy? Meg must solve the crime before more rose growers get pruned.

Simon Lelic
Publisher: Viking Penguin/Div of Penguin Putnam, March 04, 2010
Review: On an otherwise ordinary school day, recently hired teacher Samuel Szajkowski walked into a school assembly and gunned down three students and a colleague before turning the weapon on himself. It should be an open-and-shut case—the man was a psychopath—but Detective Inspector Lucia May isn’t so sure. Fighting both the sexism of her colleagues and the pressure from her boss to close the case, she digs deeper, piecing together the testimonies of the various witnesses into a picture that’s uglier, and far more complex, than anyone imagines.
Written by Simon Lelic, A Thousand Cuts brilliantly interweaves the witnesses’ accounts with Lucia’s own perspective. The result is a narrative tour de force from a formidable new voice in fiction.

Longtime fans and new readers alike will enjoy this expanded, Preferred Text edition of the multiple award winning novel, complete with a new introduction by Gaiman and 12,000 words of additional text, including one brand-new scene written specifically for this edition.

Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is brewing—a battle for the very soul of America...and he and Shadow are directly in its path.
One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.

Paul of Dune

Brian Herbert
Publisher: Tor Books, September 16, 2008
Review: Frank Herbert’s Dune ended with Paul Muad’Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert’s next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later after Paul’s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? And how did he become the most hated man in the universe? Using notes left behind by Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson answer these questions in Paul of Dune.
The Maud’Dib’s jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from triumph to triumph. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies—those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. And Paul himself is beginning to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?
Exquisitely filling in the gaps that have long puzzled fans of the Dune series, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have created a worthy new addition to the venerable Dune canon.

Review: Have you ever considered why you always seem to get stuck in the longest line? Why two’s company but three’s a crowd? Mathematics can reveal things about the complex world we live in that can’t be found any other way. In One Hundred Essential Things You Didn’t Know You Didn’t Know, John D. Barrow takes the most perplexing of everyday phenomena—from the odds of winning the lottery and the method of determining batting averages to the shapes of roller coasters and the reasoning behind the fairest possible divorce settlements—and explains exactly why things work the way they do. With elementary math and accompanying illustrations, he sheds light on the mysterious corners of the world we encounter every day.

Nos hacen un regalo tan horrible que no sabemos que cara poner. Salimos de casa con la etiqueta de esa prenda nueva aun colgando. Ana Galan lo ha vivido en carne propia y nos ofrece pautas —mas chistes y anecdotas— para tornar toda situacion vergonzosa en un momento irrelevante y salvar nuestra reputacion.

The Science of What Bugs Us
Joe Palca
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., April 25, 2011
Review: You board the train for your morning commute and pick up the newspaper. Almost immediately, the guy sitting next to you whips out his cellphone and starts yakking loudly about his amazing trip to Timbuktu. Why do you want to stuff the phone down his throat? Annoying delves into the latest findings of psychology to discover what sorts of things get on our nerves—and why.
As Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman report, in many cases there appears to be three elements required for something to be annoying. First, it must involve a stimulus that we find unpleasant and distracting. Second, it must be hard to predict when the stimulus will end. Finally, it must be impossible to ignore. (You can see why cellphone calls fit the bill.)
Within these pages, the authors discuss a wide range of annoyances, such as how skunks have taken advantage to our aversion to annoying odors; why raw onion fumes make us cry; and the secrets of trash talk among athletes. They share the results of a Northwestern University survey that ranked annoying sounds; out of 16 choices, the respondents ranked the scraping of a slate with a garden tool to be the worst, in front of rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam together and scraping metal. Why are we happy to get a raise of x dollars, but annoyed if we find that our colleague got a raise of x+500 dollars at the same time? After all, our gain is the same. They assess the reasons for this, as well as why your husband’s annoying habit of snapping his bubble gum may be transformed into an fondly remembered quirk at his funeral. The authors also investigate whether some people are genetically predestined to be annoyed all the time.
Want to understand your annoyances better? Annoying is the perfect book for you.

The Monuments Men

Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History
Robert M. Edsel
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, September 03, 2009
Review: Review by Dennis Showalter
In the midst of history’s most destructive war the United States initiated an Allied division whose mission was to limit cultural damage. Its official title was the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Section. It was commonly known as the Monuments Men—350 men and women who understood that the war against the Nazis was also a war for Europe’s cultural and intellectual heritage. Should that be lost, victory would lose much of its meaning.
The Monuments Men included museum curators and directors, artists and art historians, educators and conservators. Most were over 40, with families and careers. The story of this unlikely band of heroes was forgotten until author and producer Robert Edsel focused on its recovery. Collaboration with freelance writer Bret Witter has produced a fast-paced and informative account of preservation, rescue and restoration in the face of an enemy determined to annihilate the culture it despised.
The Monuments Men concentrates on the organization’s work after D-Day in northwest Europe and occupied Germany. Initially it concentrated on protecting cultural landmarks by limiting collateral damage, posting “off limits” signs and getting officers to provide security details. Then the mission expanded. As more and more towns and cities were liberated, the Monuments Men found themselves confronting the greatest organized theft in history. Apart from individualized plundering, the Nazis had indiscriminately looted churches, museums and private collections and stored the loot in thousands of small caches throughout Germany.
The Nazis’ exact intentions remain obscure, but involved acquisitiveness rather than aesthetics. The probable consequences were all too obvious. Not high explosives but greed represented the real threat to Europe’s heritage. The Monuments Men shifted their emphasis to recovery and restoration. Over five million artistic and cultural items had been dislocated by swastikad thieves or those seeking to forestall them: priceless paintings and irreplaceable manuscripts, jewelry, watches, silverware and eyeglasses, all mixed up in packages and trunks. Hundreds of thousands of items remain missing. But the Monuments Men tracked, discovered and returned millions more—after convincing the military authorities that they were dealing with stolen property as opposed to spoils of war. In the process they took chances only intellectuals were likely to accept: driving all night through woods full of Germans, or risking booby traps investigating cached art. They benefited as well from the help of German counterparts, acting from varied combinations of opportunism, guilt and a genuine spirit of restoration that at least began atoning for Nazi exploitation.
For six years after the war some of the Americans remained in Europe, overseeing the details of restoration, organizing exhibitions and generally restoring the matrices of European culture. Nazi propaganda had long insisted that the Americans would confiscate Europe’s art and sell it—being themselves too primitive to appreciate it. More than a bit of that attitude endures to the present. The Monuments Men is both a significant contribution to history and a valuable reminder that fighting for culture is not a synonym for destroying it.

The Appeal (Large Print)
Bild


John Grisham
Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc. Div Random House, January 29, 2008
Review: All rise for John Grisham’s return to the courtroom! With The Appeal, “the most popular writer in the land” (New York Times) has written a fast-paced nail-biter that portrays backroom politics at its dirtiest.
Attorneys Mary Grace and Wes Payton know the $41,000,000 awarded their client, Jeanette Baker, in a wrongful death suit will do little to ease the agonizing loss of her husband and son. But they believe the nationwide headlines excoriating Kayce Chemical Corporation for dumping toxic materials into Bowmore Mississippi’s drinking water is the real victory. And neither of them is worried about the company’s appeal, either; hell will freeze over before anyone can shake the rock solid evidence they amassed against the industrial giant. Then again, there are those who have accused Kayce’s ruthless head executive of being the devil incarnate.
Carl Trudeau will do whatever it takes to retain his position, his power—and the enormous salary that keeps his designer-clad trophy wife content. In other words, he has to win the upcoming appeal. And if a corrupt political machine can make it happen, they can name their price for whatever’s left of his soul.

Review: Sara Douglass, beloved author of The Axis and Wayfarer Redemption trilogies, returns with a richly imagined historical fantasy—The Devil’s Diadem.
In a time when darkness shrouded Christendom, a foolish monk found his way into Hell and made off with the Devil’s favorite diadem. Now the Devil wants it back....
It is the mid-12th c. when Maeb’s father dies, leaving the little he owned to the Knights Templar. With nothing to her name but a respectable bloodline, Maeb becomes lady-in-waiting to the wife of the Earl of Pengraic, a powerful Lord of the Marches—the dark Welsh borderlands. Then a terrifying plague that has devastated Europe overtakes England. Uprooted from London, the earl’s household makes a desperate trek to his ancestral seat in Wales—a place steeped in the mysterious magic of the Old People. But not even that can stave off disaster.
As life descends into chaos, Maeb is about to discover that the horrors she has survived at Pengraic Castle were but a prelude to the maelstrom to come. For Hell has arrived to desecrate the Marches, and the only thing that can foil its plans are the wits of one young and innocent woman, and the ancient secret she never imagined that she possesses.

Joanne Kennedy
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc., September 01, 2010
Review: When beautiful graduate student Charlie Banks travels to Wyoming for a conference on equine communication, the last thing she wants is to get involved with hunky horse whisperer Nate Shawcross. No bronco busters for her, buster. And Nate is in full agreement. He may be a master at communicating with horses, but women can be downright indecipherable. Plus, he has enough romantic scars to last a lifetime. But as Joanne Kennedy’s One Fine Cowboy unfolds, distrust soon gives way to something else.
To Charlie’s amazement, Nate’s rugged looks belie his surprisingly gentle touch. And even though she once hated the idea of cowboys, there’s no denying her response when her horse whisperer starts whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

Dean Koontz
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc./Div. of Random House, June 09, 2009
Review: Dean Koontz has proven time and again why he’s “a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller” (Newark Star-Ledger). But Relentless puts the bestselling author in a league of his own as he explores the razor-thin line between the best and worst of human nature.
Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a bestselling novelist who has everything he’s ever dreamed of—married to the love of his life, a genius child, even a great dog. On the heels of a bad review for his latest book from notoriously reclusive critic Shearman Waxx, Cubby has an accidental encounter with the poison-pen critic. And suddenly life takes a sharp 180-degree turn to the dark side. Waxx begins terrorizing Cubby's family and threatening slow and grisly deaths for each of them. But the seemingly hapless Cubby and his loved ones have more resilience than Waxx realizes—and they are not about to let a crazed, bow-tie-wearing psychopath destroy everything they hold dear.
Koontz is working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

The Somme

The Darkest Hour on the Western Front
Peter Hart
Publisher: Pegasus Books, Inc., January 07, 2009
Review: On July 1, 1916, the first day of World War I’s Battle of the Somme, there were 57,470 British casualties, of which a staggering 19,240 were killed. It was “the worst disaster ever to have befallen the British Army in its entire history,” writes historian Peter Hart. Yet the battle would go on another four months, costing over a million casualties among the three powers involved, and ending in a stalemate that would have the allies essentially starting from scratch the following year. How could this have happened? It’s a question that Hart attempts to answer in the pages of The Somme.
An offensive along the river Somme in Northern France, the Battle of the Somme was intended to be the “Big Push” that would break the German resistance and take the pressure off the French troops who had been suffering terribly at Verdun. Looking at the big picture, Hart argues that the Battle’s prolonged carnage was made possible by the initial popularity of WWI itself, whose arrival had led to “celebrations in the streets,” and by the political necessities of the Entente Cordiale with France and Russia, which had forced the British to abandon their traditional maritime geo-political strategy and pay their share of the “butcher’s bill.” As for the actual fighting, Hart evaluates the three British generals held most responsible for the Battle of the Somme—Douglas Haig, Henry Rawlinson and Hubert Gough. While they understood the importance that artillery would play in the offensive, they were slow to learn how to employ it properly. Worse, their use of infantry was antiquated and simplistic. And even after successes, lessons that might have been learned about artillery use and infantry tactics were “cast to the wind and replaced with the tactics of a lunatic asylum.
The Somme not only provides a meticulous military account of the offensive, it brings to vivid life the adrenaline-fueled thrills and horrors of the battle in the words of those who lived through it—generals and foot soldiers alike—quoted on virtually every page in excerpts from unpublished memoirs, personal letters, diaries and interviews. And an appendix entitled “Life in the Trenches” describes in excruciating detail the horrors of trench warfare, where the shelling and gassing often seemed preferable to the lice, maggots and rats. It’s not for the squeamish.
Hart hopes his book will achieve a renewed respect for the British soldier at war, not just the gallant, but the ordinary soldiers as well—“everyone and anyone who was sucked into the gaping maw of the Somme.” “All of them had lives they put at risk…and each in their own way did their best,” Hart writes, adding that whether the Somme “was worthwhile or even necessary is a larger question that should trouble us all.

Review: New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood soars to new heights of romantic suspense in The Ideal Man. At the center of the pulse-pounding thriller is Ellie Sullivan, a gifted young surgeon who is out jogging one afternoon when she witnesses a shooting. Ellie is able to save the victim’s life, but all she can tell FBI Agent Max Daniels is that the triggerman was in the company of a woman. What Ellie doesn’t tell the handsome agent is that being in his presence has sent more adrenaline surging through her system than she felt during her ordeal! Yet Max, with his rugged good looks and take-charge attitude, is not the type Ellie imagined as the ideal man, and despite her attraction, she remains aloof.
Max doesn’t want to alarm Ellie but the couple she saw is almost certainly the Landrys, notorious weapons dealers who never leave loose ends…ever. Which means Ellie has a price on her head. When Max learns she’s gone to South Carolina for her sister’s wedding, he follows, determined to protect this gorgeous, independent woman who’s got him rethinking his loner status. But before the sparks between them truly ignite, another threat to Ellie catches them both off guard….

How the North Won the Civil War
Andrew Smith

Review: In the months before Confederate soldiers fired the first shots of the Civil War, various proposals were already circulating in Washington on how to best encourage the South to return to the Union. One such proposal was to restrict Confederate access to the Atlantic and Gulf ports. The hope was that the Confederacy could be starved into submission. A week after the surrender of Fort Sumter on April 14, 1861, President Lincoln ordered a blockade of Southern ports, preventing the export of cotton, tobacco and sugar, and the importation of food and military equipment.
Southerners scoffed at the notion that they could be starved out. They did not foresee the tremendous impact the blockade would have on the availability, distribution or cost of food in their region. The South relied heavily on food imported from the Midwest and to a lesser extent, the North. The Confederacy, noted the New York Times, had plenty of cotton which the South could “neither eat or drink—and nor can they wear it unless they first send it North to manufacture it.” From the first shot fired at Fort Sumter, to the last shot fired at Appomattox, food played a crucial role in the Civil War.
Many plantation owners chose to grow cotton and tobacco, simply because they were much more profitable than food crops,” explains noted culinary historian Andrew Smith. “Had they devoted their land to growing wheat or corn or sweet potatoes, or to raising cattle or pigs, Southern farmers and plantation owners could easily have produced enough food to feed the entire continent.
In Starving the South, Smith takes a gastronomical look at the war and its aftermath. At the time, the North mobilized its agricultural resources, fed its civilians and military, and still had massive amounts of food to export to Europe. The South did not. Hunger and malnutrition weakened both Southern bodies and spirits. Starving, nearly emaciated Confederate soldiers were at a serious disadvantage when they faced off against well-fed Union troops. As Southern morale waned desertions from the Confederate Army increased.
The Civil War split the country in a way that still affects race and politics today. As Smith shows, it also affected the way we eat. The necessity of providing food transformed local markets into large, nationalized and industrialized food suppliers. It also forced the development of the Northern canning industry. The first truly national cuisine was created as emancipated slaves migrated northward carrying the recipes and flavors of the South with them.
Published on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Fort Sumter, Starving the South makes a compelling case that hunger was behind the defeat of the Confederacy.

The Slave Trade

James Walvin
Publisher: Thames & Hudson Inc., April 01, 2011
Review: The 16th-century Spanish and Portuguese explorers who journeyed to Africa in search of gold discovered an even more lucrative cargo in slaves. A hugely profitable transatlantic trade in human lives soon developed, linking Europe, Africa and the Americas. Africans and their descendants cultivated sugar throughout the Caribbean and Brazil, and tobacco, cotton and rice in the American South. A fervent abolitionist campaign eventually succeeded in changing public opinion, and forced governments to outlaw slavery, but the Atlantic slave trade persisted well into the 19th century, with incalculable human costs.
In this volume in the History Files series, James Walvin, an expert guide to the origins, development, eventual abolition and legacies of the slave trade, focuses on the experiences of those who lived through slavery. The book includes a special feature exclusive to the series: 10 loose-leaf facsimile documents ranging from plans and logs of slave ships to auction sale notices to private letters and emancipation proclamations. And a wealth of images—photographs, paintings, objects and maps—give further insight into the horrors and global impact of the transatlantic slave trade.

Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing, January 01, 2011
Review: The Mediterranean Diet has had the spotlight for a long time and for good reason. But when you’re ready for something different but equally healthy and delicious, travel some latitudes north to discover all the Nordic Diet has to offer. Trina Hahnemann’s follow-up to Club member favorite, The Scandinavian Cookbook, is a feast for the senses with glorious photography and the most tempting fare. Recipes for every course of every meal, such as Smorrebrod with Salmon Tartare, Goose Breast with Apples and Celeriac Salad, and Leek and Goat Feta Tart on Rye Pastry may seem decadent, but they’re actually quite wholesome and slimming—and they make it easy to enjoy the benefits of eating and living well like Northern Europeans do.
