Rhino Ranch



Larry McMurtry
Publisher: Simon And Schuster, Inc., August 11, 2009
Review: Here it is, the stunning and poignant final chapter in the Duane Moore story, which began in 1966 with The Last Picture Show. Pulitzer Prizewinner Larry McMurtry originally introduced us to Duane Moore as a young man, and we’ve since followed his life in subsequent books like Texasville and When the Light Goes.
Now, in Rhino Ranch, we get to witness the very last moments of his storied life. Peopled by delightful new characters and old friends (Boyd Cotton and Bobby Lee Baxter are back), it returns us to the boom and bust town of Thalia. Returning home to recover from a near-fatal heart attack, the aging Duane discovers that he has a brand new neighbor: the statuesque K.K. Slater, a plucky billionairess who’s moved to Thalia to establish a sanctuary for black rhinos. He soon befriends one of her charges—a crafty escape artist of a rhino named Double Aught.
Mixing scenes of great humor with moments of genuine pathos, this unforgettable conclusion to McMurtry's beloved series chronicles Duane’s life as he copes with the fickleness of love and attempts to come to terms with his own mortality. This is a touching farewell to one of literature’s most enduring characters.

Review: Robin Reardon, who first burst onto the scene with A Secret Edge, returns with this gutsy, empowering second novel about Taylor Adams, a sixteen-year-old boy taking those first awkward steps towards manhood against almost insurmountable pressure: he's gay and his parents have just booted him off to a strict religious camp.
The camp is something like a waking nightmare: there's no talking to newbies (who must wear yellow stickers on their clothing) and the severe, sadistic staff aims to wash all Satanic influences off the attendees, a motley crowd of gay teens, petty thieves and drug addicts. Through intellect and patience, Taylor discovers ways to survive in the fold—and comes to realize some staff members are not what they seem...

The Last of the Ebb


The Battle of the Aisne, 1918
Sidney Rogerson
Publisher: Frontline Books, February 01, 2011
Review: In 1918, the Germans launched their Spring Offensive. Aware that American troops would soon be arriving in Europe, the Germans saw this as their last chance to win the war. If they could overcome the Allied armies and reach Paris, victory might be possible. The German offensive was initially a great success. However, the advance eventually stalled. With supply shortages and lack of reserves, this was to be the “last ebb” of the German war effort.
In The Last of the Ebb, Sidney Rogerson, a young officer in the West Yorkshire Regiment, describes the experiences of his battalion from the Aisne through to the Marne. Fighting under French command and inadequately supported by artillery or from the air, the West Yorkshires were forced to fight and run 27 miles across wooded downlands and three rivers surviving on only emergency rations. Rogerson vividly conveys the great bravery and extraordinary resilience of the regiment, who were able to face up to the terrible ordeal of such a battle without loss of morale.
Including an account by Major-General A. D. von Unruh, which gives the German perspective of the offensive, The Last of the Ebb is a remarkable World War I chronicle.

Tarnished Victory


Finishing Lincoln's War
William Marvel
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub. Co., November 15, 2011
Review: Most multivolume histories of the Civil War tend to focus on the most attractive elements of the story: the abundant heroism, the ultimate restoration of the Union and the eradication of slavery. According to historian William Marvel, those works frequently overlook that much of the heroism was wasted by military ineptitude and political perfidy. Additionally, they ignore the fact that the restored Union was no longer a voluntary community and that the war did not fully eradicate human bondage.
The intensity of the exhilaration, dejection and uncertainty felt by those who witnessed the worst of all American conflicts is often diminished by stage-by-stage analyses of the war that trace the path of Union dominance. A chronological perspective affords a better view of the degree of pessimism and optimism that infected the Northern population, as well as a better understanding of why it existed, contends Marvel. In Tarnished Victory, he presents an accurate, more realistic account of the last year of the war.
The conclusion to the author’s sweeping four-part series examining the war, this volume opens with the Virginia and Atlanta campaigns in May 1864 and closes with the final surrender of Confederate forces in June 1865. Marvel, whom Stephen Sears has called "the Civil War’s master historical detective," succeeds in capturing the anxiety, anger, fear and uncertainty that swept through a broken nation. Despite significant Union victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Chattanooga in 1863, Confederate confidence still leaned heavily on the expectation of defeating Union armies in the field. The stubborn survival of the Confederacy seriously undermined support for Lincoln’s war.
In the course of the last year, the conflict grew even more deadly. The home front was stripped to fill the armies and the economy was crippled by both debt and inflation. “North and South, the campaign to unseat Abraham Lincoln was viewed with equal exaggeration as an expression of the Northern people’s readiness to give up the fight,” explains Marvel. “On that assumption, ardent Confederates hoped he would be cast from office, and with a war for the national destiny in the balance, President Lincoln came much closer to that fate than his ten-point margin of the popular vote seemed to suggest.
In the end, Lincoln’s early critics were proven correct: victory did require massive bloodshed and complete conquest of the South. It also required decades of occupation to cement the achievements of 1865. As Marvel shows, the ultimate failure of Lincoln’s political heirs to carry through with that occupation squandered the most commendable of those achievements, making it a tarnished victory.

At Home


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.

The World That Never Was


A True Story of Dreamers, Schemers, Anarchists, and Secret Agents
Alex Butterworth
Publisher: Pantheon Books Inc./Random House, April 01, 2010
Review: The last third of the 19th century saw the world in flux. Science vied with religion to represent the soul of man, and technological advances opened the possibility of new ways of living. Yet as the world sank into a long depression, untrammeled capitalism continued to stretch the gulf between rich and poor. From Russia to America, across Western Europe and beyond, governments already unsettled by major shifts in geopolitical power were threatened by growing unrest and the rise of socialism. And looming over them was the spectre of the Anarchist and the shadow of international terrorism. In this comprehensively researched, riveting history of that tumultuous period, historian Alex Butterworth follows the rise of these violent revolutionaries from the failed Paris Commune of 1871 to the 1905 Russian Revolution. Through the interwoven stories of several key anarchists and the secret police who tracked them, Butterworth explains how, as the anarchists’ ideals were gradually defeated, their frustrations led many of them to increasingly desperate acts of terrorism and murder.
All manner of leaders, from the tsar to presidents and plutocrats, were vulnerable to the assassins’ bombs and bullets, but so too was bourgeois society in its cafes and opera houses. It was a new kind of terror that could strike anywhere and that permeated deep into the imagination of the times. Its true weapon, though, was not dynamite but fear itself: a fact quickly grasped by those whose job it was to protect the powerful. Yet in a credulous age, when hoaxers and forgers thrived, the fictions spun by police chiefs and their agent provocateurs were often no less beguiling. And out of the short-term actions of these forgotten individuals grew the noxious delusions of worldwide conspiracy that would poison the century to come. A masterly exploration of the strange twists and turns of history, The World That Never Was follows the interweaving lives of several key anarchists, and of the secret police who tracked them: Boris Savinkov, the poet, novelist and anti-tsarist terrorist; the mythologized French anarchist Ravachol; Evno Azef, the revered Communist party hero who was, in fact, an agent of the Okhrana, the tsarist secret police; anti-anarchist crusader William Melville, director of Britain’s Special Branch; and a colorful supporting cast of rogues, rebels and reactionaries. Theirs is the story of a generation that saw the dream of Utopia crumble, to be replaced by a dangerous desperation.
A masterly exploration of the strange twists and turns of history, The World That Never Was ranges across five continents and is rich with anecdote and fascinating personalities. It is a revelatory portrait of an era with uncanny echoes of our own.

Border Crosser


One Gringo's Illicit Passage From Mexico Into America
Johnny Rico
Publisher: Ballantine Books Inc./Random House, June 23, 2009
Review: Johnny Rico returns with this engaging follow-up to the cult smash Blood Makes the Grass Green. This time, he dares to embed himself on both sides of America’s most dangerous domestic conflict: the war for and against illegal immigration. This is a gonzo account of crossing the Mexican border into the United States illegally, from the eyes of a “typically spoiled American” who doesn’t speak a word of Spanish.
In Border Crosser, Rico travels with the Border Patrol, meets extreme immigrant advocates who surreptitiously publish maps for illegals, visits a modern-day “underground railroad” in Texas and hunts for miscreants with angry vigilants.
In such hot spots as the Tecate Line (a 45-mile stretch of hills on California’s southern fringe) and Arizona’s Amnesty Trail (the second busiest part of the U.S. border), Rico encounters Los Zetas, the paramilitary group that has overtaken Mexico’s drug cartels, interviews the volunteer Minutemen (who believe in an imminent, apocalyptic Mexican invasion) and rubs elbows with coyotes (human smugglers, fortified by meth and cocaine.) In the process, he unearths more truths about these explosive topics than any traditional reporter ever could.

The City Tavern Cookbook


Recipes From the Birthplace of American Cuisine
Walter Staib
Publisher: Running Press, November 01, 2008
Review: Before there was even a United States of America, there was Philadelphia’s City Tavern. Among its patrons were the patriots Paul Revere—who stopped by in 1774 to announce the closing of the port in Boston—and John Adams, who enjoyed “a supper…as elegant as ever was laid on a table.” For three days in 1777, it was the official headquarters of the Continental Army, and George Washington was feted there in 1789, just before he became our first president. Today, City Tavern still thrives at its original location—and it’s the only place in the country where you can experience truly authentic early American culinary history.
With more than 300 tempting, simple-to-make recipes, Walter Staib’s The City Tavern Cookbook will help home chefs and history buffs alike re-create the same dishes enjoyed by our Founding Fathers, including traditional favorites such as West Indies pepperpot soup, roasted duckling with chutney, Martha Washington’s recipe for chocolate mousse cake and Thomas Jefferson’s own recipe for sweet-potato biscuits. Complemented by gorgeous food photos, vintage art and a foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough, it’s a piece of American history to treasure.

Jerusalem


The Biography
Simon Sebag Montefiore
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House, October 25, 2011
Review: Review by Gene R. Garthwaite
Jerusalem's critical importance to the three great monotheisms hardly needs yet another book; nevertheless, Sebag Montefiore has written a masterful historical overview. His recounts the history of Jerusalem from King David to the 1967 Six Day War—he actually starts with A.D. 70 and the Roman destruction of the Temple—before going back to David. However, in an epilogue, he does bring that history to the present. In Jerusalem, Sebag Montefiore goes beyond religion and metaphor to examine the Holy City as lived, whether 1,000 years ago or today or with its idealization or messiness. The city's actual history, contrary to its metaphysical meanings, has seldom been peaceful.
Sebag Montefiore writes about the city's broad social and cultural mix of peoples to emphasize the consequent multiple truths encompassed in "Jerusalem," in which each culture has attempted to undermine competing views so as to claim the city for itself. However, he sees this phenomenon as part of Jerusalem’s history; his commitment to “truths” will open him up to criticism from all sides.
Sebag Montefiore is a superb storyteller and writes narrative history with depth and zest, which can be seen in his histories of Russia, particularly Young Stalin (2007). In addition, Jerusalem is based not only on apt anecdotes and detail, but an impressive reading of both primary and secondary sources, including Arabic ones that most generalists miss. Jerusalem itself is of special meaning to him, for Sebag Montefiore is a scion of one of Zionism’s founders, yet he writes with measure and detachment.
Jerusalem is organized chronologically with a prologue, and moves on from David to the Jerusalem of antiquity and then to Islam; the Crusades and on to the Ottomans. Emphasis is given to the 19th century, with European imperialism and the formation of Zionism, and then the 20th century, with the emergence of the state of Israel and finally, to the 1967 Six Day War and, in an epilogue, to the present. Here, Sebag Montefiore recounts the continuing conflict and the changes in Jerusalem, including its expansion, continued violence and failed peace efforts, to observe:
No deal can be agreed nor will it endure without something else. Political sovereignty can be drawn on a map…but it will be futile and meaningless without the historic, mystical and emotional. The real conditions for peace are…the heartfelt intangibles of mutual trust and respect…. If this book has any mission, it is to show that both sides have unimpeachable claims to Jerusalem, both ancient and modern.
Sebag Montefiore closes with very human vignettes of living representatives of each of the major faiths continuing their millennial rituals on a daily basis. These stories characterize this rich, contradictory history in which violence and peace, the ridiculous and the sublime, saints and rogues coexist—the historical reality is hardly “Jerusalem the Golden.” The ending emphasizes the repetition of a very human history, in which there is conflict not just between but within each of the major faith communities that leaves little hope for any romanticized notions of a possible peace.

The Big Scrum


How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football
John J. Miller
Publisher: Harper Collins Pub., Inc., April 12, 2011
Review: The most popular sport in America, football is a central part of the nation’s identity. Millions of youngsters play in youth leagues and high schools, millions of adults fill the stadiums to watch college and professional games, and millions more watch from the comfort of home. Football games are “more than athletic competitions,” contends author John J. Miller. “They are cultural rituals of deep significance. They not only unite a diverse campus of engineering students and English majors, but they also create a community of fans across a region and beyond.
The sport has earned a permanent place in the lives of countless Americans. Yet there was a time when football was in danger of being banned. Objecting to football’s violence, a collection of Progressive Era prohibitionists tried to do away with the sport while it was still in its infancy. Had Theodore Roosevelt not intervened, Super Bowl Sunday would not exist today. The Big Scrum reveals the intriguing details of this fascinating story. National Review correspondent and author of The First Assassin, Miller chronicles the little-known skirmish that took place far from the 40-yard line.
In the late 19th century, football was still a work in progress that only remotely resembled the sport we know today. There was no common agreement about many of the game's basic rules. It was also extremely violent and exceedingly dangerous. An Americanized version of rugby, this new game's popularity grew even as the number of casualties rose. Numerous young men were badly injured and dozens died playing it. The sport claimed the lives of some of the best and brightest of America’s prep schools and colleges. The highly publicized fatalities sparked a movement to abolish the sport, led by Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot and the editors of The Nation.
President Roosevelt, a vocal advocate of the strenuous life and a proponent of risk, acknowledged football's dangers but admired its potential for building character. A longtime fan of the game, he had purposely recruited men with college-football experience for his Rough Riders. Roosevelt was determined to preserve the game's forceful essence, even as he understood the need for reform. In 1905, he summoned the coaches of Harvard, Yale and Princeton to the White House and urged them to work on reforming the game.
The end result was the formation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. A series of rule changes were made, including the advent of the forward pass, which ultimately saved football and transformed it into the quintessential American game. Entertaining and enlightening, The Big Scrum reveals how football evolved into one of the country’s greatest pastimes.

I'm Over All That


And Other Confessions
Shirley MacLaine
Publisher: Atria Books, April 05, 2011
Review: Whatever the topic—show business, aging, politics or the future of mankind—Shirley MacLaine has never shied away from sharing opinions that are as fascinating as they are honest. I’m Over All That is her timeliest and funniest book yet, detailing all the things she's over…and a few she's not.
In a series of short pieces dealing with such topics as her spirituality, 2012, the afterlife and her dog, Terry, Shirley, one of our most admired actresses—and certainly one of the most fearless—shares her opinions and insights on the things that drive her crazy, inspire her to action and keep her firmly in the public eye.
Totally frank and intensely personal, I'm Over All That is Shirley MacLaine at her acerbic and irreverent best.

Run for Your Life



James Patterson
Publisher: Hachette Book Group, USA, February 02, 2009
Review: Want to know what you can expect from James Patterson’s new thriller? Let’s put it this way, every creaking floorboard, every rattling window will have you ready to Run for Your Life.
It hasn’t been easy for New York City Detective Mike Bennett since his wife died a year ago, leaving him to raise their 10 adopted kids. Not that he doesn’t have help; Mike’s housekeeper and his father are a godsend, especially when he’s called to investigate several murders that point to a serial killer on a rampage.
The first victim was pushed into the path of an oncoming subway train in front of horrified bystanders; the second was killed by a well-dressed man, who casually walked into a chic store and shot him at point-blank range. Stunned witnesses at both scenes described the attacker as a tall, dark-haired man—in other words, half the city.
As the bodies continue to pile up, a break comes from reporter Cathy Calvin, who’s gotten a mission statement from the killer. He calls himself “the Teacher,” and, after listening, Mike realizes his hunch was right: This guy’s agenda is personal. How personal, though, he has yet to find out. For the Teacher’s next lesson is all about family—Mike’s, to be exact.

Minding Frankie



Maeve Binchy
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House, March 01, 2011
Review: Storyteller extraordinaire Maeve Binchy returns with Minding Frankie, a heartwarming tale set in Dublin about unconventional families, relationships that aren’t quite what they seem and a child who helps bring a community together.
Noel is a nice enough guy, but he doesn’t seem to be the most promising of fathers. After all, he’s stuck in a dead-end job, and even though he’s just given up his love affair with alcohol, he’s still struggling with his personal demons. But when he learns that his former flame is terminally ill and pregnant with a child she claims is his, he decides to step up and take care of the baby when she’s born.
Fatherhood soon proves even tougher that he imagined, but luckily, an amazing—if somewhat eccentric—network of family and friends soon comes to his aid: love-starved Lisa, who becomes his round-the-clock partner in little Frankie’s care; his take-charge American cousin Emily; and willing babysitters like Signora, Aidan and Dr. Declan.
The arrangement works out beautifully…until a social worker decides to take Frankie away. With so much on the line, can they find a way to persuade her that each of them has something special to offer when it comes to minding Frankie?

Preacherman Blues II



Jihad
Publisher: Envisions Publishing, L.L.C., October 04, 2010
Review: It’s more preachers behaving badly in this riveting sequel to Preacherman Blues, as Bishop TJ Money embarks on a new quest to become President—and won’t let anything get in his way. He never has before. Whether it’s lying, stealing and even killing, he’s taken whatever measures have been necessary to protect his “holier than thou” image. Why should he care that his anonymous campaign donors may have been behind the murder of the previous President? All he’s focused on is all the money and power his new position as Leader of the Free World can bring. So of course he doesn’t expect that four women he’s wronged, who think payback is in order, might just be the ones to finally trip him up. And maybe even cost him the ultimate price....

Review: The celebrated author of The People Next Door presents an exciting, intricately woven novel that exposes the complicated secrets of a seemingly quiet upscale Florida neighborhood, where looks are always deceiving and neighbors are a little too close for comfort....
Suzanne Betancourt has been happily married (or so she thinks) to her doctor husband Brad for more than sixteen years. She lives a comfortable life, as mother and wife, and really never wants for anything—except maybe a closer relationship with Brad. The truth be told, they have a lot to put up with in their life together. For one, Brad’s ex-wife, Lisa, lives next door to them with her new family; and Suzanne’s mother and siblings live down the road in a house owned by Brad. And even though everyone works, they never seem to be able to make the rent. But it’s not until Errol and Micheline Trent, a young, sexy thirtyish couple, moves into the neighborhood that the marriage begins to strain. On the night of Brad’s fiftieth birthday party, the voluptuous, scheming Micheline comes on to Brad, big time, and the cracks in Suzanne and Brad’s marriage soon become impossible to camouflage.... But can they be repaired before it’s too late?

Iris Johansen
Publisher: St. Martins Press, Llc, April 20, 2010
Review: Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan could never have imagined the nightmare that engulfs her adopted daughter, Jane, when the young artist decides to display a particular painting in a Parisian gallery. It is a chilling portrait based on a disturbing vision Jane has seen only in her dreams and, for reasons she cannot name, she calls it “Guilt.” Now, the members of a cult, a maniacal group that dates back to biblical times, believe Jane has blasphemed. They make it stunningly clear that, to repent, she must make the ultimate sacrifice; they will come for her in eight days.
Desperate to stop the madness, Jane turns to Seth Caleb. Besides his ability to read her thoughts, they connect in other ways that make her weak with longing…and something more she cannot express. But for now Seth turns his uncanny abilities to the urgent matter at hand and discovers the existence of a cache of ancient coins that could buy Jane’s freedom—if they can be found….
Iris Johansen’s Eight Days to Live is relentlessly thrilling as Eve enters the drama, realizing that with this elusive bounty—and Jane’s demise—the cult will be unstoppable. Can she rescue her daughter before time runs out?

Horns



Joe Hill
Publisher: William Morrow & Co, Inc./Imp. of Har., February 16, 2010
Review: Joe Hill, author of the critically acclaimed 2007 bestseller Heart-Shaped Box, returns with an utterly original, terrifying novel of psychological and supernatural suspense.
Ignatius Martin Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke the next morning with a headache, put his hands to his temples and felt something unfamiliar, a pair of knobby, pointed protuberances. He didn’t think anything of it at first, but when he was swaying over the toilet, he glanced at himself in the mirror above the sink and saw he had grown horns while he slept.
The second son of a renowned musician and doting mother, Ig Perrish has a privileged life and expectations of a bright future with his childhood sweetheart, Merrin Williams. His life takes an unexpected turn when Merrin is brutally killed and suspicion falls on Ig. A year later, he is nowhere near over his grief or his rage—feelings that come to a head in a lost evening of alcohol and hate. When he wakes the next morning, Ig discovers his surreal transformation and an incredible power he soon turns toward vengeance. Unfortunately, Ig is about to learn that when it comes to revenge, the devil is in the details.

General Jo Shelby's March



Anthony Arthur
Publisher: Random House Inc., August 17, 2010
Review: Review by William C. Davis
Missouri produced a tough breed of character in the generations before the Civil War. It came of a blending of frontier life, distant remove from the more civilized East, and the almost constant turmoil of a border torn between pro- and anti-slave forces. Future Confederate Joseph O. Shelby, always identified with Missouri, had quite a different background. He was born into affluence and privilege in Lexington, Kentucky, the “Athens of the West,” and when he went west to Missouri in 1851 it was not as a frontiersman, but as a successful businessman looking to expand his enterprise.
A decade later he was one of the wealthiest men in his state, but meanwhile sectional politics and his own prominence put him at the head of raiders who crossed over into Kansas to intimidate Free State settlers. In turn the secession crisis put him on the path to one of the more unusual careers among that often-remarkable cadre of men who wore stars for the Confederacy. At the outbreak of the war he raised a cavalry company, and thereafter steadily rose in rank and responsibility, finally being commissioned brigadier general in December 1863. Along the way he served under Major General Sterling Price in virtually all of the major engagements in Missouri and Arkansas, most of it in command of his Missouri “Iron Brigade.
When 1865 came and brought defeat, Shelby and many of his men refused to accept the verdict and surrender or give their parole. Instead, he rode south to the Rio Grande, buried his banners in the muddy river, and crossed into Mexico where he spent two years as an exile, some of it in the service of the Emperor Maximilian as he resisted the rebellious forces of Benito Juarez. After Maximilian’s collapse, Shelby went home to Missouri to become, of all things, a supporter of President U. S. Grant and reconciliation.
Shelby’s life is a study in contrasts, and Anthony Arthur’s new biography, General Jo Shelby’s March, brilliantly illuminates how an unreconstructed Rebel who refused to admit defeat could become a progressive advocate of reconciliation during Reconstruction and afterward. Well researched and compellingly written, General Jo Shelby’s March is more than the title implies, for the Civil War portion of it is minor compared to the whole. The real “march” is Shelby’s progression from staunch defender of the Old South, to border captain, embittered exile, to builder of the new South.

Padre Pio


Miracles and Politics in a Secular Age
Sergio Luzzatto
Publisher: Metropolitan Books, November 09, 2010
Review: Italian Capuchin priest Padre Pio is one of the world's most beloved holy figures. His tomb is the most visited Catholic shrine anywhere, drawing more devotees than Lourdes. Among the many miraculous feats attributed to him include the ability to fly (It was said that an apparition of Padre Pio in midair prevented Allied warplanes from dropping bombs on his hometown during World War II) and to be present in two places at once. Most notable were his stigmata, hailed by millions as God-given yet viewed with suspicion by two popes—a controversy reignited by Sergio Luzzatto’s discovery of a letter from Pio requesting a secret delivery of carbolic acid, which was ostensibly used to self-inflict his wounds.
Luzzatto’s probing investigation of this remarkable man—neither a worshipful hagiography nor a character assassination—is the first objective biography of this fascinating figure. A nuanced examination of the persistence of mysticism in the modern day, and a striking analysis of the links between Catholicism and 20th-century politics, this profoundly original tale of wounds and wonder, salvation and swindle, explores what it really means to be a saint in our time.

The Complete Psalms


The Book of Prayer Songs in a New Translation
Pamela Greenberg
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, May 01, 2010
Review: Pamela Greenberg’s translations in The Complete Book of Psalms aim to restore the poetry and vibrancy of the Psalms as a prayerful act, replicating their emotional passion while both wrestling with the text as living liturgy and remaining as true as possible to the originals.
Traditional takes on these prayers—such as the King James Version or those of medieval Jewish commentator Rashi—often downplay the depth of emotion directed at God in these prayers, reinterpreting them in ways that flatten the richness of the verse. Greenberg’s desire in this new translation is to rekindle the relevance of the Psalms and bring to life what makes these words cry, breathe and shout—a labor of yearning, necessity and love.

David Crockett


The Lion of the West
Michael Wallis
Publisher: W.W. Norton&Co, May 16, 2011
Review: Review by Elliott West
A fabulously successful Walt Disney television series in the 1950s made Davy Crockett a historical celebrity. That fame lives on in the nostalgia of millions of baby boomers who recall humming the Disney theme song while wearing coonskin caps and shooting imaginary bears with toy rifles they called “Old Betsy.” In a way that’s too bad. As Michael Wallis shows in this fast-paced new biography, Disney’s airbrushed version of David Crockett’s story (he never went by Davy) masks a life that, by its famous end at the Alamo, was both more mixed and entirely fascinating.
During his boyhood in eastern Tennessee, Crockett had only a few days of schooling before running away from his tavernkeeper father at 13. For more than two years he knocked around the country as a cattle drover, freighter and even an apprentice hatmaker. That anticipated a life of consistent itchiness that had him jumping from farming and hunting to soldiering and politics and eventually into an early version of American celebrity.
A fine marksman and prodigious hunter—he once killed 47 bears in a month—Crockett married at 20 and sired three children before his wife, Polly, died, whereupon he quickly wed a widowed neighbor. He seemed to be away more often than at home, however, and experienced plenty of scrapes with violence and illness, including near-fatal malaria. During the War of 1812 he served in the Tennessee militia under Andrew Jackson, helping in an assault on a village that saw nearly 200 Creeks killed, four dozen of them burned alive in a cabin. The memory disgusted him.
His popularity in the militia nudged Crockett toward politics. Gregarious and a natural storyteller, he found he had a gift for campaigning. He began as a state legislator and was elected to Congress three times (and lost twice) between 1826 and 1835. In the public arena he also exploited his natural bent for gab and brag. He was the model of the hero of “The Lion of the West,” the most frequently performed play on the American stage until “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and, with ghost-writing help, he authored comic sketches, tall tales and in 1833 a popular autobiography. On a tour of the East he spoke to large and adoring crowds.
Politically, however, he was in trouble. Today Congressman Crockett would be called a populist. His strongest stands were on behalf of small landholders and squatters and against speculators, and he also was alone in the state delegation in opposing a law to speed the uprooting and removal of southern Indians. This left him bitterly at odds with Jackson, his home state’s hero who now was president. Narrowly defeated in 1834, Crockett decided once more to take off in search of more promising fields. That would be Texas.
He arrived as Texans were declaring independence from Mexico. Greeted everywhere “with the open arm of friendship,” Crockett was confident of a future in Lone Star politics. Instead he found martyrdom at the Alamo—and an enduring place in American folklore.

Star Wars®: Darth Bane: Rule of Two



Drew Karpyshyn
Publisher: Del Rey, December 26, 2007
Review: Driven by an iron will and a fierce ambition, Darth Bane was a natural leader among the Sith—until his embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order. Now, as the last surviving Sith, Bane is ready to put his Rule of Two into action, and he thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals Bane’s own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy.
But there is one who is determined to stop him: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane’s hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshua’s belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.
As Johun continues his dogged pursuit of the man who killed his master, Zannah, faced unexpectedly with a figure from her past, begins to question her embrace of the dark side. And Darth Bane is led by Force-induced visions to a moon where he will acquire astonishing new knowledge and power—power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined.
