Book excerpt: En cette aube du 15 octobre 1917, le brouillard qui flotte sur Vincennes tarde à se dissiper. Le peloton d'exécution s'avance. " En joue ! " Un jeune officier au teint pâle lève son sabre. Lorsqu'il l'abaisse, onze coups de feu éclatent. Condamnée à mort pour intelligence avec l'ennemi, la plus célèbre " espionne " de la Grande Guerre s'écroule. Il est 6 h 12. Espionne Mata Hari ne l'a jamais été. Les pièces auxquelles l'auteur a eu accès, jusqu'alors classées " confidentiel défense ", démontrent que le dossier fut délibérément falsifié à des fins " patriotiques ". Mata Hari fut une victime expiatoire. Elle fut aussi la victime d'une morale bourgeoise qui condamnait la liberté des femmes... Car, libre, Mata Hari le fut. Après son divorce d'un officier de l'armée coloniale qu'elle accompagna aux Indes néerlandaises, elle devint danseuse orientale, puis courtisane, sillonnant les villes d'Europe, multipliant protecteurs et amants. Trop, sans doute... Russell Warren Howe livre enfin la vérité sur cette femme au destin tourmenté et mystérieux. Les documents exceptionnels reproduits dans cet ouvrage permettent pour la première fois de reconstituer les derniers mois d'une innocente.

Book excerpt: A concise introduction to the history and methods of espionage, illustrated by spy stories from antiquity to today’s high-tech world. Espionage is one of the most secret of human activities. It is also, as the popularity of spy stories suggests, one of the most intriguing. This book pulls the veil back on the real world of espionage, revealing how spying actually works. In a refreshingly clear, concise manner, Kristie Macrakis guides readers through the shadowy world of espionage, from the language and practice of spycraft to its role in international politics, its bureaucratic underpinnings, and its transformation in light of modern technology. Espionage is a mirror of society and human foibles with the added cloak of secrecy and deception. Accordingly, Espionage traces spying all the way back to antiquity, while also moving beyond traditional accounts of military and diplomatic intelligence to shine a light on industrial espionage and the new techno-spy. As thorough—and thoroughly readable—as it is compact, the book is an ideal introduction to the history and anatomy of espionage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Train of Thought: Anomalies By: Richard Dardis About the Book The “Train of Thought” continues to travel, travel, travel, with the greatest and biggest personalities to ever inhabit our world. Scientists, painters, poets, criminals, presidents, and more, all traveling along, sharing ideas and stories, all unsure of how they got there. As Albert Einstein, Max Plank, Neils Bohr take on the challenge of uncovering the purpose of the train’s existence and uncover a whole host of philosophical quandaries along the way. A blend of science fiction and historical fact, The Train of Thought weaves unique personalities together in a study of the global political and cultural atmosphere of our world through the last one hundred years and beyond and examines from a unique perspective the political strain particularly in the United States now based on the mistakes of the past.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice | One of Esquire's 125 best books about Hollywood Award-winning master critic Robert Gottlieb takes a singular and multifaceted look at the life of silver screen legend Greta Garbo, and the culture that worshiped her. “Wherever you look in the period between 1925 and 1941,” Robert Gottlieb writes in Garbo, “Greta Garbo is in people’s minds, hearts, and dreams.” Strikingly glamorous and famously inscrutable, she managed, in sixteen short years, to infiltrate the world’s subconscious; the end of her film career, when she was thirty-six, only made her more irresistible. Garbo appeared in just twenty-four Hollywood movies, yet her impact on the world—and that indescribable, transcendent presence she possessed—was rivaled only by Marilyn Monroe’s. She was looked on as a unique phenomenon, a sphinx, a myth, the most beautiful woman in the world, but in reality she was a Swedish peasant girl, uneducated, naïve, and always on her guard. When she arrived in Hollywood, aged nineteen, she spoke barely a word of English and was completely unprepared for the ferocious publicity that quickly adhered to her as, almost overnight, she became the world’s most famous actress. In Garbo, the acclaimed critic and editor Robert Gottlieb offers a vivid and thorough retelling of her life, beginning in the slums of Stockholm and proceeding through her years of struggling to elude the attention of the world—her desperate, futile striving to be “left alone.” He takes us through the films themselves, from M-G-M’s early presentation of her as a “vamp”—her overwhelming beauty drawing men to their doom, a formula she loathed—to the artistic heights of Camille and Ninotchka (“Garbo Laughs!”), by way of Anna Christie (“Garbo Talks!”), Mata Hari, and Grand Hotel. He examines her passive withdrawal from the movies, and the endless attempts to draw her back. And he sketches the life she led as a very wealthy woman in New York—“a hermit about town”—and the life she led in Europe among the Rothschilds and men like Onassis and Churchill. Her relationships with her famous co-star John Gilbert, with Cecil Beaton, with Leopold Stokowski, with Erich Maria Remarque, with George Schlee—were they consummated? Was she bisexual? Was she sexual at all? The whole world wanted to know—and still wants to know. In addition to offering his rich account of her life, Gottlieb, in what he calls “A Garbo Reader,” brings together a remarkable assembly of glimpses of Garbo from other people’s memoirs and interviews, ranging from Ingmar Bergman and Tallulah Bankhead to Roland Barthes; from literature (she turns up everywhere—in Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, in Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and the letters of Marianne Moore and Alice B. Toklas); from countless songs and cartoons and articles of merchandise. Most extraordinary of all are the pictures—250 or so ravishing movie stills, formal portraits, and revealing snapshots—all reproduced here in superb duotone. She had no personal vanity, no interest in clothes and make-up, yet the story of Garbo is essentially the story of a face and the camera. Forty years after her career ended, she was still being tormented by unrelenting paparazzi wherever she went. Includes Black-and-White Photographs

Book excerpt: Gary Jennings's Aztec is the extraordinary story of the last and greatest native civilization of North America. Told in the words of one of the most robust and memorable characters in modern fiction, Mixtli-Dark Cloud, Aztec reveals the very depths of Aztec civilization from the peak and feather-banner splendor of the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan to the arrival of Hernán Cortás and his conquistadores, and their destruction of the Aztec empire. The story of Mixtli is the story of the Aztecs themselves---a compelling, epic tale of heroic dignity and a colossal civilization's rise and fall.

Book excerpt: The third novel in the acclaimed Driftless Trilogy, now available as a paperback original, opens with a dead man, a failed writer named Rick Harsch, floating face down in a swimming pool, his hat and narrative still in place. Spleen, twin brother of the hero of The Driftless Zone, arrives, determined to solve the murder. Along the very unusual way, however, he'll stumble ominously in Harsch's steps toward the truth of a crime far darker than the mere murder of a writer, as Harsch himself haunts the pages from above and below. A smart, cool and satirical story with an edge.
