Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria and France 1954. Encouraged by the Viet Minh triumph over the French at Dien Bien Phu, Algerian rebels seize the moment and rise in rebellion against their imperial masters. But Algeria is not Indochina; it is considered part of the homeland, and the French are determined to keep it. French paratroopers once again lead the fight and find this is no ordinary enemy. The rebels attack from the shadows but live in plain sight in the Casbah, among the people. It is urban warfare at its worst. Everyone is suspect. Nobody is safe. Extreme measures are required. With Lt. Colonel Bigeard and his men closing in, the rebel leaders change tactics and release their secret weapon – three beautiful sirens trained by a master bomb maker. They hit the French where it hurts the most – the beloved cafés of Paris. French war correspondent Brigette Friang and the American pilot Tom Coyle return from Indochina to witness bombs ripping apart the streets of Paris, killing thousands of innocent civilians, and striking fear into the heart of France. Can they stop the master bomb maker and his sirens, or will they become their target? Based on historical events and real people, Café Wars is filled with heart-pounding action and suspense. It's a cautionary tale as millions of lives hang in the balance, along with the soul of a nation.

Book excerpt: "An extraordinary and compelling book of reckonings." —Philippe Sands An extraordinary memoir of a Jewish family spanning two world wars and its flight from Nazi-occupied Austria. Meriel Schindler spent her adult life trying to keep her father, Kurt, at bay. But when he died in 2017, he left behind piles of Nazi-era documents related to her family’s fate in Innsbruck, Austria, and a treasure trove of family albums reaching back to before World War I. Meriel was forced to confront not only their fractured relationship, but also the truth behind their family history. The Lost Café Schindler re-creates the journey of an extraordinary family, whose relatives included the Jewish doctor who treated Hitler’s mother when she was dying of breast cancer; the Kafka family; and Alma Schindler, the wife of Gustav Mahler. The narrative centers around the Café Schindler, the social hub of Innsbruck. Famous for its pastries, home-distilled liquors, live entertainment, and hospitality, the restaurant attracted Austrians from all walks of life. But as conditions became untenable for Jews in Austria during the Nazi era, the Schindlers were forced to leave, and their café was expropriated. Meriel reconstructs the color and vibrancy of life in prewar Innsbruck against the majestic backdrop of the Austrian Alps, as well as the creeping menace and, finally, terror of the Nazi occupation. Ultimately, The Lost Café Schindler is a story of tragic loss—several relatives disappeared in Terezín and Auschwitz—but also one of reclamation and reconciliation. Beautifully written, it is an unforgettable portrait of an era and a testament to the pull of family history on future generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious work provides an overview of the Atlantic world, since the 15th century, by exploring the major themes that define the study of this region. Contact with Europeans in Africa and the Americas, the slave trade, gender and race in the early Atlantic world, independence movements in Africa, Caribbean nationalism, and gender and identity in the 20th century are just a few subjects discussed. Moving beyond the micro-histories of the scholarly monograph to connect the fruits of those researches with broader events and processes, this book, in the editors' words, makes "a concerted effort to re-connect elites and non-elites, Old World and New, early modern and modern, and economics and culture." It will be a point of embarkation for a new generation of students of the Atlantic world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible and comprehensive history of terrorism from ancient times to the present In the years since 9/11, there has been a massive surge in interest surrounding the study of terrorism. This volume applies distinguished military historian John Lynn’s lifetime of research and teaching experience to this difficult topic. As a form of violence that implies the threat of future violence, terrorism breeds insecurity, vulnerability, and a desire for retribution that has far-reaching consequences. Lynn distinguishes between the paralyzing effect of fear and the potentially dangerous and chaotic effects of moral outrage and righteous retaliation guiding counterterrorism efforts. In this accessible and comprehensive text, Lynn traces the evolution of terrorism over time, exposing its constants and contrasts. In doing so, he contextualizes this violence and argues that a knowledge of the history and nature of terrorism can temper its psychological effects, and can help us more accurately and carefully assess threats as well as develop informed and measured responses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women, Genre and Circumstance brings together a series of challenging essays which explore the complex intersections of feminism, narrative and genre. Drawing on a wide range of 19th and 20th century texts novels, short stories and films they interrogate the relationship between womens situation and writing practice, and representations of history, memory, love, old age; they pursue questions of narrative form and its meanings, particularly the distinctive features of the short story. The politics of feminist criticism and careful attention to the operations of narrative combine in a sustained exploration of the aesthetics and ethics of fictional practices, and their role in the negotiation of gender and circumstance. The essays were written as tributes to the leading feminist scholar Elizabeth Fallaize. The contributors are Margaret Atack, Colin Davis, Suzanne Dow, Alison Finch, Diana Holmes, Diana Knight, Michele Le Doeuff, Toril Moi, Gill Rye, Judith Still, and Ursula Tidd."

Book excerpt: “A provocative extension of Jefferson’s original plan.”—Kirkus Reviews Thomas Jefferson believed that every generation of Americans should rewrite our Constitution from scratch—to mirror the progress of the human mind and, most of all, to maintain the revolutionary spirit. He would be dismayed that it’s considered untouchable these days. Taking up Jefferson’s cause, Christopher Phillips leads a motley group of Americans across the fruited plain in an offbeat Constitutional Convention. His Constitution Café project is sparking a much-needed conversation about our founding document and forging common ground at a time when our country needs it most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A war and a president that changed America forever... Newly elected President John F. Kennedy is faced with numerous global events spiraling out of control – aggressive communist expansion, the nuclear arms race, the descending iron curtain, a clandestine invasion of Cuba, and, of course, Vietnam teetering on civil war. Kennedy, a strong believer in espionage and paramilitary operations, is determined to minimize American military involvement whenever possible. He recruits America’s best and brightest as his advisors, then tasks the CIA, American military advisors, and Special Operation elements with stopping wars before they can begin. It was a great plan… if only it had worked. Kennedy’s War is the story of America’s last chance to end the Vietnam conflict before all-out civil war erupts. Like all the books in the Airmen series, it is full of intrigue, action, and suspense. It’s a tale of incredible bravery, deception, and betrayal. No one is innocent. As you will soon read, many carry the blame for the events that led to the Vietnam War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How far will America go to win the Vietnam War? Torn by terrible loss, an American pilot finds distraction when he develops a new weapon that could change the war in Vietnam. As it appears in the night sky, the terrified Viet Cong call it “dragon.” Will it be enough or is it already too late? After enemy torpedo boats attack the US Destroyer Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin, President Johnson decides to expand the war and bomb North Vietnam. When a second attack occurs, the US Congress gives the president the power to declare all-out war against the communists. But are the attacks real or just smoke and mirrors? Under the direction of the CIA, the secret war in Laos gains momentum as Montagnard tribesmen and SOG teams fight to cut off the Ho Chi Minh Trail and deny the Viet Cong and NVA the weapons and supplies they need to win the war in South Vietnam. Using an odd mix of older warplanes and modern jet fighters, Operation Barrel Roll brings American airpower to the struggle in the Laotian mountains. As the Laotian military loses control over The Plain of Jars to the Pathet Lao, the CIA turns a blind eye when an American pilot is coerced into transporting opium grown by the hill tribes as their only source of income. Run by the Corsican mob in Saigon, it’s a treacherous tangle of deceit that will cost thousands of American lives. Like all the books in the airmen series, When War Dawns is based on historical events and real people. It’s full of military action and suspense. War has arrived and it seems like nothing can stop it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All-out war edges closer... Taking the fight to the sea, the Americans attempt to cut off the weapons and supplies flowing to the Viet Cong. Colonel Lansdale’s paramilitary teams are up to their old tricks executing multiple raids and demoralizing the North. The Viet Cong struggle to combat helicopters and warplanes flown by covert American pilots. Losing ground to South Vietnamese forces, the VC’s war-proven tactics do not work against the new technology. If the revolution is to survive, the VC must find a new strategy to deal with the Americans. The Cold War raises its ugly head in Cuba and threatens to engulf the world in a nuclear war. Kennedy is again put to the test by Khrushchev. Any miscalculation by the leaders of either nation could cost the lives of tens of millions as the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolds. As time runs short before a key operative is revealed and executed, American pilot Tom Coyle enlists the help of CIA sniper Rene Granier in a daring covert mission into the heart of North Vietnam. The war suffers a major shift at the Battle of Ap Bac as the Americans begin to recognize the true nature of the enemy they are fighting to keep South Vietnam free. Like all the historical novels in the Airmen Series, The Uncivil War is based on true events and real people. It’s full of military action, suspense, and detail about the final days before the fateful decision to commit American ground troops to Vietnam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most soldiers follow, some lead. This one hunts… He is a breed apart. He doesn’t judge. Judging is for others. When the crosshairs of his rifle’s scope settle, a life ends. He doesn’t miss. Missing is for shavetails and greenhorns. He can survive for weeks in the harshest jungle. Silent and invisible, his prey never sees him coming and never hears the bullet that kills them. Marine Sergeant Rene Granier is the sniper in an elite unit of OSS operatives known as The Deer Team. Their mission is to find, supply, and train America’s ally - the Viet Minh. Some are communists; all are patriots. They fight to free their country from the tyranny of foreign invaders, first the French, and now the Japanese. The Viet Minh have a revered leader. The Americans call him Mr. Hoo. His followers call him Uncle. History knows him as Ho Chi Minh. The Americans need his help to defeat their common enemy. Promises are made. Now, they fight side-by-side in the mountains of Northern Indochina. They form an unshakeable bond… or so they think. Based on historical events and real people, A War Too Far is the story of The Deer Team and their operations against the Japanese Army near the end of World War II. It is a cautionary tale of missed opportunities, tragic betrayal, and incredible bravery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf famously wrote 'as a woman I have no country', suggesting that women had little stake in defending countries where they are considered second-class citizens, and should instead be forces for peace. Yet women have been perpetrators as well as victims of violence in nationalist conflicts. This unique book generates insights into the role of gender in nationalist violence by examining feature films from a range of conflict zones. In The Battle of Algiers, female bombers destroy civilians while men dress in women's clothes to prevent the French army from capturing and torturing them. Prisoner of the Mountains shows a Chechen girl falling in love with her Russian captive as his mother tries to rescue him. Providing historical and political context to these and other films, Matthew Evangelista identifies the key role that economic decline plays in threatening masculine identity and provoking the misogynistic violence that often accompanies nationalist wars.
