Closer Than Blood
Bild


Gregg Olsen
Publisher: Pinnacle Books, March 29, 2011
Review: The first time was easy. No one ever suspected the victim had been murdered. The crime was long buried, but the dark passions guiding the killer’s hand are still alive—a hunger for revenge that cannot be denied.
Only one person can stop the killing. Only one person can identify the killer. Only one person knows the face of death is as close as the face in the mirror….
Like a Doberman with a rag doll, Gregg Olsen knows how to sink his teeth in and toss readers about. With Closer Than Blood, he delivers another of his riveting thrillers—an intelligent, heart-stopping read with three dimensional characters, wrenching plot twists and a terrifying exploration of the killing mind—all the hallmarks of a New York Times bestseller.

The Walls of the Universe

Paul Melko
Publisher: Tor Books, February 03, 2009
Review: Bursts forth like a new universe exploding into being…” says Robert J. Sawyer of Singularity’s Ring. And if the buzz around that debut novel is any indication, Paul Melko is riding a skyhook to stardom. If I were you, I’d jump on at the second floor by picking up Melko’s fun new universe-jumping adventure, The Walls of the Universe, based on the Hugo- and Nebula-nominated story of the same name.
Ohio farm boy John Rayburn is in trouble after beating up the high-school bully. But his petty problems fade when his doppelganger, Prime, appears with a device that lets him travel across worlds. For John, the lure of seeing another universe is too strong: he tries it out…and learns to his horror that the device only works one way—forward—and that Prime stole his life from him! Unable to return home, he settles in a new universe to try and fix the device.
As Prime sets out to cash in on inventions he’s stolen from other Earths—including the Rubik’s Cube—John’s attempts to lie low backfire spectacularly when he inadvertently introduces pinball to his new universe. Unfortunately, both actions draw the notice of other travelers, dangerous people who are exploiting worlds for their own nefarious purposes.

The Air War Against Japan, 1942-1945
Barrett Tillman
Publisher: Simon And Schuster, Inc., March 02, 2010
Review: Whirlwind is the first book to tell the complete, awe-inspiring story of the Allied air war against Japan—the most important strategic bombing campaign in history. From the audacious Doolittle raid in 1942 to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, award-winning historian Barrett Tillman recounts the saga from the perspectives of American and British aircrews who flew unprecedented missions over thousands of miles of ocean, as well as of the generals and admirals who commanded them.
Whether describing the experiences of bomber crews based in China or the Marianas, fighter pilots on Iwo Jima, or carrier aviators at sea, Tillman provides vivid details of the lives of the fliers and their support personnel. Whirlwind takes readers into the cockpits and gun turrets of the mighty B-29 Superfortress, the largest bomber built up to that time. He dramatically re-creates the sweep of wartime emotions that crews endured on 15-hour missions, grappling with the extreme tedium of cramped spaces and with adrenaline spikes in flak-studded skies, knowing that a bailout would put them at the mercy of a merciless enemy or an unforgiving sea. A major character is the controversial and brilliant General Curtis LeMay, who rewrote strategic bombing tactics. His command’s fire-bombing missions incinerated fully half of Tokyo and many other cities, crippling Japan’s industry while still failing to force surrender.
Whirlwind examines the immense logistics and construction efforts necessary to support Superfortresses in Asia and the Mariana Islands, as well as the tireless efforts of engineers to build huge air bases from scratch. It also describes the unheralded missions that American bomber crews flew from the Aleutian Islands to Japan’s northernmost Kuril Islands. Never has the Japanese side of the story been so thoroughly examined. If Washington, D.C., represented a “second front” in Army-Navy rivalry, the situation in Tokyo approached a full-contact sport. Tillman’s description of Japan’s willfully inadequate approach to civil defense is eye-opening. Similarly, he examines the mind-set in Tokyo’s war cabinet, which ignored the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, requiring the emperor’s personal intervention to avert a ghastly Allied invasion.
Tillman shows how, despite the Allies’ ultimate success, mistakes and shortsighted policies made victory more costly in lives and effort. He faults the lack of a unified command for allowing the Army Air Forces and the Navy to pursue parochial goals at the expense of the larger mission, and he questions the premature commitment of the enormously sophisticated B-29 to the most primitive theater in India and China.
Whirlwind is one of the last histories of World War II written with the contribution of men who fought in it. With tales of personal heroism and terror and a sweeping analysis of strategy, this book is destined to become a standard reference on the most important bombing campaign in history.

Christie Golden
Publisher: Del Rey/Bantam, June 23, 2009
Review: In Omen by Christie Golden, book two of the 9-book Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi saga, Jedi Knights are going insane, their uncontrolled Force talents threatening everyone around them. Exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment, power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is sending police to hunt them down and deal with them the only safe way they know how: by freezing them in carbonite.
Now one of these deranged Knights is displaying a rare Force ability known only to the late Jacen Solo and the alien Force-users called the Aing-Tii. On a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall to the dark side, Luke Skywalker and his son Ben head to the Aing-Tii’s world to figure out the connection.
While Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on destruction, an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and now, unbeknownst to anyone, this lost tribe of Sith is poised to reclaim their self-determined destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.

Surviving the Civil War, Prison, and the Worst Maritime Disaster in American History
Alan Huffman
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers, April 01, 2009
Review: They had survived the war and worse. Thousands of Union parolees, mostly Indiana and Ohio men recently released from Cahaba and Andersonville Confederate prison camps, crowded the docks in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Romulus Tolbert and John Maddox were among them. They were childhood friends who had enlisted together, fought together, survived the camps together and were now going back home to Indiana together. Perry Summerville from the 2nd Indiana Calvary was on that dock too. A veteran of Shiloh, Perryville, and Chickamauga, he had seen some of the bloodiest fighting of the war before being captured and sent to Cahaba prison. And there were thousands more, too weak and emaciated to stand with one thought burning through their minds: home.
We were on our way home from those horrid dens of cruelty and starvation,” wrote one former prisoner who boarded the Sultana. “Yes, we had lived through it all, and hoped, expected soon, to see loved ones and home and enjoy some of the peace we had fought to restore. Home!” Severely overcrowded, Sultana made her way up the Mississippi, careening from one side to the other under strain of her human cargo.
The Federal Army had contracted several steamships—Sultana, Henry James, Olive Branch and the Pauline Carroll—to transport the former prisoners north, up the Mississippi River. At $10 per head for officers and $5 per head for enlisted men, the steamboat captains filled their ships far beyond capacity. Kickbacks and bribes to Army officers further exacerbated the situation. Sultana, designed to carry just 376 passengers, soon groaned under the weight of an estimated 2,400 passengers—nearly six times her capacity.
To make matters worse, Sultana was having trouble with her boilers. Replacing the boiler would have taken three days, but Sultana’s captain couldn’t afford to lay up that long and miss the boon in transporting prisoners, so he ordered a hasty patch of a bulged boiler plate with one of less thickness. As the ship careened up river, water rushing out and back into her boilers created a massive surge in pressure.
Then at 2 a.m. on April 27, 1865, three of Sultana’s four boilers exploded. The steamship was split in two and soon erupted into a floating inferno. Soldiers who endured the worst of the Civil War’s horrors were dealt one final, tragic blow.
Out of the 2,400 passengers, 1,700 were killed, making the Sultana disaster the worst maritime catastrophe in American history. For those who somehow, incredibly, survived, author Alan Huffman tells their stories for the first time. Sultana provides both Civil War buffs and maritime enthusiasts a detailed, heart-wrenching look at a momentous story that has remained, until now, all but forgotten.

Mistress by Midnight

Maggie Robinson
Publisher: Kensington Pub Corp, December 28, 2010
Review: Laurette never intended to be a kept woman, but her brother’s debts have left her no choice but to go to Con, the notorious Mad Marquess. His terms are shocking—to erase her brother’s debts, she must be his mistress for six months. It’s a devil’s bargain and an invitation to sin…and God help her, the thought of it makes her tingle.
So begins Maggie Robinson’s Mistress by Midnight, but what Laurette doesn’t know is that Con intends her role as mistress to be far shorter than six months. He has a different task for her in mind…as his Marchioness. But seducing her body is one thing, winning her hand is another. As he soon learns, though she agreed to be his mistress, she’ll be damned if she’ll let him be her master.

John Grisham
Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc./Div. Random House, January 27, 2009
Review: Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father's small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal and his future has limitless potential.
But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn't want—a job most law students can only dream about.
Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practicing law, he is expected to lie, steal and take part in a dangerous scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed.
With an unforgettable cast of characters and villains—from Baxter Tate, a drug-addled trust-fund kid and possible rapist, to Dr. Dale, a pretty but seemingly quiet former teacher of mathematics who shares Kyle's “cubicle” at the law firm, to two of the most powerful and fiercely competitive defense contractors in the country—and featuring all the twists and turns that have made John Grisham the most popular storyteller in the world, The Associate is vintage Grisham.

Review: Capt. Thomas Forsyth’s tour in Afghanistan—and likely his military career—is cut brutally short when he’s badly wounded by a roadside bomb. Facing six months of recuperation leave, Tom returns to his childhood home, where his mother, the “First Lady” of racing, is a horse trainer. He’s never seen eye to eye with her, so he doesn’t expect a hero’s welcome—but even he’s not prepared for the reception that awaits him.
When his mother’s prize horse finishes third in a race it should have won, Tom discovers the training business faces a threat far more dangerous than a run of bad form. Soon Tom finds himself on a very different, but just as deadly, battlefield, where his military skills are tested in a ruthless game of kill or be killed.

The End

Ian Kershaw
Publisher: Penguin Putnam, Inc., September 08, 2011
Review: A plethora of books has been written about why Nazi Germany lost World War II, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital question of how and why it was able to hold out as long as it did, in the face of near-annihilation and untold suffering. The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, the Nazis refused to sue for peace. Historically, this is extremely rare, as a country defeated in war almost always seeks a negotiated settlement.
With The End, award-winning historian and preeminent Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw has written a fascinating and original exploration of how and why the Third Reich was willing and able to fight to the bitter end of World War II. Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, Kershaw explores this subject in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot against Hitler in July 1944—an act that outraged most Germans, despite the country’s desperate straits—and ends with the German capitulation in May 1945. Hitler, desperate to avoid a repeat of the “disgraceful” German surrender in 1918, was of course critical to the Third Reich’s fanatical determination, and refused to entertain any thoughts of surrender. But his power was sustained only because those below him were unable, or unwilling, to challenge it. Even as the military situation grew increasingly hopeless, Wehrmacht generals fought on, their orders largely obeyed, and the regime continued—and even ramped up—its ruthless persecution of Jews, prisoners and foreign workers. Beneath the hail of Allied bombing, German society also maintained some semblance of normalcy in the very last months of the war. The Berlin Philharmonic even performed on April 12, 1945, less than three weeks before Hitler’s suicide.
As Kershaw shows, despite the virtual disintegration of the Nazi regime in the war’s last months, the structure of Hitler’s “charismatic rule” created a powerful negative bond between him and the Nazi leadership, which felt they had no future without him. And so, their fates were inextricably tied. Terror also helped the Third Reich maintain its grip on power as the regime began to wage war not only on its ideologically defined enemies but also on the German people themselves. Yet even as each month brought fresh horrors for civilians, popular support for the regime remained linked to a patriotic support of Germany and a terrible fear of the enemy closing in.
Based on prodigious new research, The End is a harrowing yet enthralling portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps.

Review: They’re the last of the McCord men. Three rugged, restless cousins, they stand to inherit the family’s vast Montana rangelands, but on one condition—they must continue the search for the long-lost McCord treasure, which legend says is buried somewhere in the wilderness that surrounds their ranch.
The oldest of this wild bunch, Jesse McCord is a handsome devil, his laughing blue eyes darkened by a hint of danger that men find daunting…and women find irresistible. But he has one weakness: Amy Parrish. She was the only person he ever let in, body and soul, and when she left without a word, he was all but destroyed. And now that she’s back, he’s not about to let himself get burned again.
Amy’s in town to help her ailing father, not to rekindle things with the only man she’s ever loved. But despite all her attempts to rein in her feelings, every time she sees Jesse, the mere sight of him leaves her breathless. When she agrees to help him in his quest to find the legendary McCord gold, will their relationship stay strictly business…or will they succumb to pure pleasure?
Written by R.C. Ryan, Montana Legacy is a white-hot tale of love, family, and friendship that you won’t soon forget.

America's War in Afghanistan
Seth Jones
Publisher: W.W. Norton & Co. Inc., July 06, 2009
Review: Longtime Afghanistan expert and RAND analyst Seth G. Jones watched as American optimism evaporated after the defeat of the Taliban in 2001 and, just four years later, a new “war of a thousand cuts” had brought Afghanistan to its knees. With In the Graveyard of Empires, Jones harnesses important new historical research on insurgencies and integrates thousands of declassified government documents to offer a penetrating and definitive account of the American experience in Afghanistan, from the rise of the Taliban to the depths of the insurgency.
As Jones shows, the siphoning of resources to the Iraq war left U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan ineffectual and without support. Through interviews with prominent figures, including ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and commander Karl Eikenberry, Jones explains how a growing sanctuary for insurgents in Pakistan and a collapsing government in Kabul catalyzed the Taliban resurgence. Examining what has worked thus far—and what hasn’t—Jones argues that we must take a radically new approach to the war if the United States is to avoid the disastrous fate that has befallen every world power to enter the region, from Alexander the Great to the Soviet Union.

Review: Fern Michaels’ Razor Sharp casts the women of the Sisterhood in a seething political potboiler. The drama begins when Lily Flowers, the madam of a posh bordello, decides that before a group of Washington politicians can close her down, she’ll turn the beds, so to speak, on them. After all, they’ve been her clients for years. Lizzie Fox, the hotshot attorney who takes Lily’s case, smells a scandal that could reach President Martine Connor’s White House. That’s when she puts in a call to pals Myra, Annie, Kathryn, Alexis, Yoko, Nikki and Isabelle; no court in the land is a match for the seven fearless vigilantes with friends in high places. But this time, Sisterhood-style justice could cost them a presidential pardon.

Tick Tock

James Patterson
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, January 24, 2011
Review: Rugged New York City Detective Michael Bennett comes roaring back in Tick Tock, the new page-turner from incomparable thrillmeister James Patterson.
Vacationing on the Irish Riviera—better known as Breezy Point, Queens—with his grandfather, his ten adopted kids and Mary Catherine, the nanny whom he’s growing very fond of, Detective Michael Bennett has no complaints. But fun in the sun, not to mention romance, isn’t in the cards when a bomb threat followed by a rash of coldly calculated murders sends Manhattan into chaos, and he’s called back to investigate.
The common thread between the killings seems to be Bennett himself, since the perp has left notes addressed to him at each crime scene. And they all say the same thing: “For Lawrence.” Working with FBI agent Emily Parker, a former colleague who’s not shy about her feelings, proves almost as troubling for Bennett as the baffling case. Yet a pattern soon emerges suggesting the vicious crimes are copycats of infamous killers from the past…and finding out “why” is of the essence. For as the clock ticks on, time is running out for Bennett’s family, still at the beach, alone and vulnerable…waiting for him to return.

A Savage Conflict

The Decisive Role of Guerrillas in the American Civil War
Daniel E. Sutherland
Publisher: Univ. Of North Carolina Press, July 01, 2009
Review: Review by William C. Davis
For the past generation the role of guerrillas in the Civil War has been a perennial “flavor of the month.” Chiefly the interest centers around one of the more popular “what if” questions posed by adherents of the “the Confederacy would have won if…” school. If only, such reasoning goes, instead of surrendering his army at Appomattox, Robert E. Lee had unleashed his ragged divisions as guerrillas and partisans, they could have continued the war indefinitely and worn down Union resolve to continue the war.
The hypothesis is nonsense on several levels but it endures all the same. Focus on it has tended to obscure the very real importance of irregular forces on the periphery of the war, but now, building on the pioneering work of scholars like Albert Castel, Daniel E. Sutherland has produced the finest work to date on the real nature of guerrilla war and its impact on the conflict. At the outset it needs to be emphasized that A Savage Conflict: The Decisive Role of Guerrillas in the American Civil War does not by its title imply that guerrillas determined who won. Rather Sutherland argues convincingly that the partisan war exercised a steady and growing impact on how many of the war’s major campaigns were conducted, and more than that proved to be a steadily increasing drain on the resources and morale of the Confederacy.
In all conflicts in all times, the underdog will resort to means that are at the time unconventional in order to even the odds, whether it be submarines and land mines introduced by the Confederates, or Improvised Explosive Devices in modern Iraq. Facing likely overwhelming by superior numbers and resources, the underdog has nothing to lose by pushing beyond the accepted bounds of warfare. Not surprisingly, then, the Confederacy early embraced irregular units in the form of guerrillas and partisan rangers, especially in less settled areas like the Appalachian South and Missouri and Arkansas west of the Mississippi.
Unfortunately, by the nature of their service partisans are also the most difficult of all soldiers to control, since they operate beyond effective communications, to some degree live off the land, and often bring pre-war feuds and animosities to the table. So it was with the most noted Confederate guerrillas like William C. Quantrill and William “Bloody Bill” Anderson. Inevitably local guerrilla bands arise to combat the activities of the sanctioned partisans, and a special kind of warfare emerges, typified by the border frenzy in Missouri and Kansas in 1863-1864. Even more conventional partisans like John S. Mosby in Virginia sometimes produced as much ill for the cause as good, if only from the retaliation their actions brought from the Federals.
Sutherland offers the most detailed and in-depth look yet at this special kind of war and what it did to sap Confederate stamina and morale without significantly damaging the actual foe, the Yankees. Sensibly he devotes no more than a page or two to the issue of continuing a partisan war after Appomattox, but in these tightly packed pages he demonstrates just how the resort to guerrilla warfare that so many still see as the best hope of the Confederacy, actually helped to kill it from within.

How Copernicus Revolutionized the Cosmos
Dava Sobel
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, September 27, 2011
Review: Around 1514, reclusive Catholic cleric and polymath Nicolaus Copernicus outlined a dramatic reinterpretation of the cosmos. His heliocentric theory, in which he defied accepted wisdom and public opinion, posited that the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the universe. According to Copernicus, the planets, including the Earth, all revolved around the Sun. He spent the next two decades studying the skies and expanding his theory through hundreds of observations and calculations. Copernicus recorded his findings in a secret book-length manuscript. Fearing ridicule from his peers, he refused to publish the theory and concealed it for 30 years.
Despite his intense secrecy, Copernicus had shown an early outline of his heliocentric theory to a few select astronomers. And during the 1530s, news of the existence of a potentially revolutionary theory of how the heavens worked circulated throughout Europe. In 1539, drawn by rumors of a revolution to rival the religious upheaval of Martin Luther's Reformation, a young German mathematician named Georg Joachim Rheticus traveled to Poland to seek out Copernicus. Despite laws banning his presence in the Catholic diocese, the Lutheran Rheticus stayed on for two years helping his Catholic mentor prepare the long-neglected text for publication. When it was completed, Rheticus hand-carried the manuscript to Nuremberg and arranged to have it published by Europe’s leading printer of scientific texts.
Titled De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres), the manuscript was published in 1543. Copernicus was reportedly given a copy on his deathbed. The book forever changed humankind’s view of its place in the universe. In A More Perfect Heaven Dava Sobel recounts the life of Nicolaus Copernicus and the cosmic transformation he inspired. Sobel, the bestselling author of Longitude and Galileo's Daughter, traces the history of astronomy from Aristotle to the Middle Ages. She vividly illuminates the conflicting personalities and extraordinary discoveries that shaped the Copernican Revolution.
It is unknown what Rheticus said to Copernicus to change his mind about going public with his theory. Drawing from letters and treatises penned by the two men, Sobel speculates about that fateful conversation. At the center of her book is a two-act play “And the Sun Stood Still,” in which the author imagines Rheticus’ struggle to convince Copernicus to share his manuscript with the world. The inventive dialogue gives voice to one of history’s greatest visionaries.
Set against a background of religious and social turmoil, A More Perfect Heaven delivers an unforgettable portrait of scientific achievement.

Sinclair Lewis
Publisher: Harcourt Brace & Co., March 01, 2027
Review: When Nobel Laureate Sinclair Lewis (Babbitt, Main Street) first published Elmer Gantry in 1927, it generated a firestorm of controversy, and small wonder. Perhaps the most scathing satire he ever wrote, the novel indicted fundamentalist religion by tracing the story of a con-man with a golden tongue who decides to pursue a career as a minister and meets a succession of other clergymen and congregational leaders who seem more interested in fleecing their flocks than saving them.
For our Club's 85th Anniversary, we're proud to reissue this scathing look at the dirty business of old-time religion. Exposing the hypocrisy and opportunism of the evangelical clergy in the early 20th century, it’s just as relevant today as it ever was.

Why We Crave It, How We Create It
Laura Fortgang
Publisher: Jeremy P. Tarcher/Mbr of Penguin, April 16, 2009
Review: In The Little Book on Meaning, Laura Berman Fortgang reveals that while our hunger for a meaningful life can be enormous, our desire for meaning is usually satiated by the little events that make up the fabric of our lives.
Meaning is where we look for it, and through tenderly drawn stories from her own life and the lives of others, Berman Fortgang shows how we can discover the small achievements that truly matter. She takes us through five other “M words” beyond “Meaning” that serve as markers on the path of discovery, including “Mystic.” When we see the world through the eyes of a mystic, everything holds meaning.
The Little Book on Meaning is an insightful guide for those seeking greater purpose and fulfillment in their lives.

A Maisie Dobbs Novel
Jacqueline Winspear
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., February 19, 2008
Review: In her fifth outing, psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs delves into a strange series of crimes in a quaint rural community.
Having recently solved an especially disturbing murder, Maisie Dobbs is relieved to accept an apparently straightforward assignment from an old friend to investigate certain matters concerning a potential land purchase. Her inquiries take her to a picturesque village in Kent during the hop-picking season, but beneath its pastoral surface she finds evidence that something is amiss. Mysterious fires erupt in the village with alarming regularity, and a rash of petty crimes suggests a darker criminal element at work.
As Maisie discovers, the villagers are bitterly prejudiced against the gypsies who flock to Kent at harvest time—even more troubling, they seem possessed by the legacy of a wartime Zeppelin raid. Maisie grows increasingly suspicious of a peculiar secrecy that shrouds the village, and ultimately she must draw on all her finely honed skills of detection to solve one of her most intriguing cases.
Rich with Jacqueline Winspear’s trademark period detail, this latest installment of the bestselling series is gripping, atmospheric and utterly enthralling.

Churchill's Empire
Bild

The World That Made Him and the World He Made
Richard Toye
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., August 01, 2010
Review: Review by Edward B. Segel
In his radio address in early February 1952 on the death of King George VI and the accession of the young Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill referred to his own youth, “passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian Era.” So it seemed in Churchill’s romantic retrospective, with the Victorian Empire at its apparent apogee. But as Richard Toye makes clear in this illuminating study of Churchill’s life and his relationship with the Empire, with which he so closely identified himself, the story is much more complicated, ambiguous and interesting.
We usually see Churchill as an unreconstructed Victorian imperialist, with accompanying racist attitudes—and in some respects he was. But Toye’s view is much more nuanced than this traditional, somewhat one-dimensional picture (even than Churchill’s own self-portrayal); there are complexities, inconsistencies, changes over Churchill’s long career that are usually neglected. Toye uses an impressive array of private and public documentary sources to shed much useful light on British imperial history: “This book does not adopt a purely biographical approach but explores Churchill’s career within the context of the experiences and opinions of his contemporaries. It looks at attitudes and ideas as well as events and policies; crucially, it also examines the way in which Churchill was perceived and his messages understood not only in Britain but throughout the empire.
In all this Toye is very balanced and fair-minded—he is out neither to rehabilitate nor to deflate Churchill. He carefully weighs the early influences on Winston’s imperial thought, like his schooling at Harrow; or his father Lord Randolph, whose Victorian imperialist and racist attitudes seemed to accept racial equality (at least theoretically); or Winston’s early Social Darwinism. The very term “Victorian” needs greater precision: “No homogeneous view of Empire existed in late-Victorian Britain”; and Churchill himself became more “Victorian” only in the 1920s.
As Churchill’s career went on, he clearly moved to the right on issues of Empire—or rather, here as elsewhere, the world moved, while Churchill tended to stay behind: “It was this absence of a positive agenda, rather than his continued belief in Empire as such, that increasingly marked him out as a reactionary during the remainder of the inter-war years.” Churchill’s complete opposition to concessions to Indian self-government made him seem more of a die-hard imperialist than even Rudyard Kipling.
In his last decades Churchill tried to confront the “unpalatable fact” of the Empire’s inevitable decline as a result of the World Wars, economic strains and the rise of the Cold War superpowers; in a sense the downward course of the Empire was mirrored in his own life. But Toye has a more positive conclusion. Citing Nelson Mandela, he sees the Atlantic Charter of 1941 and similar declarations as inspiring many postwar liberation movements. Churchill, no doubt without intending it, “helped unlock the forces of anti-colonialism. The spirit of freedom…escaped the bounds he would have set on it”—perhaps providing, ironically against Churchill’s own vision, another of his great legacies.

FDR Leads the Nation into War
Steven M. Gillon
Publisher: Basic Books Inc., October 25, 2011
Review: Review by Dennis Showalter
Steven M. Gillon, of the University of Oklahoma, is a highly regarded scholar of modern American politics. He also has a sufficient flair for visual effects to be the History Channel’s resident historian. Both elements come together in this minute-by-minute reconstruction of the most dramatic and traumatic day in Franklin Roosevelt’s presidential career.
Gillon does not introduce anything new. What he does is bring together everything that is known and can be verified about the president’s behavior. Franklin Delano Roosevelt remains an enigmatic figure. His presidency was engulfed in crisis from its beginning. His election to an unprecedented third term was as much recognition of a metastasizing global war as an affirmation of his domestic stewardship. And throughout, Roosevelt kept his own counsel. By his own admission he was a juggler, never letting his right hand know what the left was doing. His death in office meant no memoirs. His presidential papers tend toward the anodyne. Gillon presents the man behind the curtains.
Franklin Roosevelt on December 7, 1941, was a presidential figure in the highest sense: assuming leadership when the situation called for it, neither making hasty decisions nor passively awaiting events. Tired and ill, he was nevertheless in command of himself. He did not seek to project calmness. He was calm: confident in the country, its people, and not least himself. His advisers were worried and divided. There were no instant surveys of public opinion to guide his reactions. Roosevelt had to take every major decision himself, with no relevant information, drawing on his instinct, his experience, and his sense of right and wrong.
All three functioned optimally. Part of the day’s routine was an hour-long session with the White House physician, for treatment of the kind of sinus infection today routinely controlled with antibiotics. Gillon’s account of the elaborate and painful therapies of 1941 highlight another dimension of the crisis. Roosevelt had been preparing for December 7 since diagnosed with polio 20 years earlier. The willpower and the determination cultivated in those decades were focused on that day.
No less important than the story is Gillon’s analysis of December 7’s subtext. In this crisis Roosevelt managed the news to a degree impossible even at the time of the Kennedy assassination, to say nothing of contemporary communications systems. News spread slowly then; even radios were static instruments, restricted to living rooms. As the story filtered through, Roosevelt was able to conceal the extent of the catastrophe.
Gillon legitimately dismisses in footnotes the conspiracy theories, continuing to circulate though with ever lessening credibility, that Roosevelt “knew” about the attack beforehand. The deception was not for domestic political reasons but for fear of what Japan might do if the extent of its victory became clear. Yet this stimulating account raises a wider, more disturbing question. Can any chief executive, even one with Roosevelt’s character and determination, function similarly and successfully in this age of open information? And if the answer is negative, what are the potential consequences?

Review: Hace mas de dos milenios, los sacerdotes astronomos mayas —esos “amos del tiempo magico”— pronosticaron que el mundo, tal y como lo conocemos hoy, pereceria entre el 21 y el 22 de diciembre de 2012. En esa fecha debera ocurrir un excepcional fenomeno cosmico que se produce solo una vez cada 26,000 anos. ?En que consistira? Aunque no existen muchas pistas en los jeroglificos y documentos mayas, una de las interpretaciones mas difundidas y aceptadas de su famosa profecia apunta hacia el comienzo de un nuevo ciclo o “nueva era”, cuyo surgimiento dependera en parte de nosotros mismos. Es posible que nuestro esfuerzo y voluntad de cambio sean los motores que hagan posible un universo mejor para las futuras generaciones. Tapa dura

The Daughter's Walk (Large Print)

Jane Kirkpatrick
Publisher: Waterbrook Press, May 20, 2011
Review: Jane Kirkpatrick’s The Daughter’s Walk weaves personal history and fiction together to reveal a mother’s tragedy, a daughter’s desire—and the journey that changed their lives.
In 1896, Helga Estby and her 19-year-old daughter, Clara, walked from Spokane, Washington to New York City to earn $10,000 to save their farm. Upon returning home, Clara chooses to continue the journey and walk on alone, changing her name and leaving her family for over 20 years. What motivated Clara in an era when women struggled with issues of rights and independence? And what personal revelations brought her to the end of her lonely road?
The Daughter’s Walk invites us to consider our own journeys and discover what exile and forgiveness are truly about.

Delilah Dawson

Review: Florist Jenna Miller has been much too busy to have time for any intimate relationships, but she’s feeling that one wild night is way overdue. When her friend Eileen asks her to be a tester of the soon-to-be-released online matchmaking service involving anonymous sexual fantasies, Jenna’s more than happy to oblige.... Tycoon Troy is at the top of his corporate game, but feels he could use a little R&R. When Troy meets Jenna at Eileen’s Orchid Soul kick-off party, she rocks his world and he can’t get her of out his mind. When he walks into her shop, she has no idea he has any other interest in her business than needing a job. But when this much chemistry is confined to such close quarters, things might go from heated to blazing hot!

Jonathan Franzen
Publisher: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, August 31, 2010
Review: Patty and Walter were the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Greener than Greenpeace, she was the ultimate hands-on mom, while he was an environmental lawyer who commuted to work on his bicycle.
Except, as Freedom opens, they’re going through a sea of change. Why has their teenage son moved in with the Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job with Big Coal? And, most of all, why is Patty—once the bright star of Barrier Street—becoming unhinged before everyone’s eyes?
Charting the lives of these intensely realized characters, author Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections) has produced a darkly comic novel about family, suburbia, middle age and love. It’s an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

Dara Girard
Publisher: Harlequin Enterprises Dont Use, April 01, 2011
Review: Sexy and single Claudia Madison is living the life. She’s a bestselling author with the world at her feet and nothing tying her down when she learns her book on sex and romance without the ring is being made into a TV show! Then she meets her co-host, Peter Warren. The gorgeous bachelor and leading authority on how to stay happily single—and the man she almost married—is as dangerously irresistible as ever. Peter’s ready for their next heady round of passion, but he’s not about to let the “girl who got away” get away again. His plan is to win her heart and come out on top this time. But as desires reignite, threatening to derail their careers, both of these famed “singles” may just learn that they might be better as a “set.
