The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon - by David
Grann
Publisher: Doubleday
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 2/24/2009
ISBN-13: 9780385513531
ISBN-10: 0385513534
In 1925, British explorer Percy Fawcett voyaged up the Amazon in search of
a lost city he called Z. Although Fawcett was a longtime and expert adventurer,
he and his two companions (including his 21-year-old son) were never seen
again. When journalist David Grann heard Fawcett's story, he joined the ranks
of those trying to learn what happened to him--about 100 of whom have lost
their own lives in the process. Grann's foray into the jungle--and elsewhere--to
discover the truth is interwoven with Fawcett's adventures, which are based
on the explorer's diaries and other accounts. Featuring blow-darts, giant
snakes,
and hostile locals, this thrilling narrative reads "with all the pace and
excitement of a movie thriller" (The New York Times).

The unforgiving minute : a soldier's education - Mullaney, Craig M.
Publisher: Penguin Press
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 02/19/2009
ISBN-13: 9781594202025
ISBN-10: 1594202028
Craig M. Mullaney's education had been relentlessly preparing him for
this moment. The four years he spent at West Point and the harrowing test of
Ranger
School readied him for a career in the Army. His subsequent experience as a
Rhodes scholar at Oxford couldn't have been further from the Army and his
working-class
roots, and yet the unorthodox education he received there would be
surprisingly relevant as a combat leader. Years later, after that unforgettable
experience
in Afghanistan, he would return to the United States to teach history to
future Navy and Marine Corps officers at the Naval Academy. He had been in their
position once, and he had put his education to the test. How would he use
his own life-changing experience to prepare them. The Unforgiving Minute is
the extraordinary story of one soldier's singular education.
Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased
Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi - by Neal Bascomb
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 3/11/2009
ISBN-13: 9780618858675
ISBN-10: 0618858679
In this gripping chronicle of the 15-year hunt for Nazi war criminal Adolf
Eichmann, author Neal Bascomb utilizes interviews and other research to
illuminate
how Eichmann was able to elude capture and escape from Europe. In addition,
he also details the efforts of the German, U.S., and especially Israeli
governments
and their spy agencies to turn up clues and bring Eichmann back to Israel
for trial. It's a thrilling and suspenseful story in its own right, but you'll
also learn about the early days of Israel's legendary Mossad agency. If
you're interested in the Holocaust, war crimes, or Israeli history, you'll want
to pick up Hunting Eichmann.
Cleveland's Lighthouses - Janice B. Patterson
Publisher: Arcadia Pub

Pub Date: 03/02/2009

ISBN-10: 0738560561
Missionary-geographer John Heckewelder was prophetic in the 1790s when he
mapped the place where the Cuyahoga River flows into Lake Erie. He wrote,
"Cujahaga
will hereafter be a place of great importance." In 1796, surveyors arrived
to plot a new town and named it after their superintendent, Moses Cleaveland.
Soon Cleveland (the a was omitted on early maps) was a magnet for inventors
and entrepreneurs. By 1829-1830, a lighthouse was necessary to support lake
traffic spurred by shipbuilding, shipping, and population growth. A
succession of taller, brighter structures has guided mariners into the
Cleveland harbor,
creating a splendid history. Remarkable people have tended these
sometimes-silent sentinels through decades of calm nights and dramatic storms,
subtly
contributing to the region's growth and prosperity.
Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Sacrifice, and Brotherhood
- by Donovan Campbell

Pub Date: 3/10/2009

ISBN-10: 1400067731
As a junior at Princeton, Donovan Campbell decided to attend Marine Corps
Officer Candidate School as a résumé-builder. Though he didn't enjoy it, he
ultimately
decided to join the Marines because of the challenges it offered. Three
years later, in 2004, the platoon he led was sent to Ramadi, one of Iraq's most
dangerous cities. For seven months Lt. Campbell and his men patrolled the
streets, defended themselves in ambushes, fought insurgents, and managed to
retain
control of their area. His depiction of the interpersonal dynamics of his
team, the horrors of combat, and his ground-level view of the war in Iraq
combine
to present a "valuable supplement to big-picture histories of the war's
first year" (Kirkus Reviews).
The Third Reich at War - by Richard J. Evans
Publisher: Penguin Press
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 3/19/2009
ISBN-13: 9781594202063
ISBN-10: 1594202060
In this third volume in a trilogy on the history of Nazi Germany, historian
Richard Evans traces the collapse of the Third Reich. In addition to following
the rise and fall of the military, Evans explores the ways in which the
Nazis gained compliance and support and examines Hitler's campaign of racial
subjugation
and genocide. Unsurprisingly, Booklist calls this comprehensive tome "a
chilling and often downright sickening account of savagery on a gigantic scale,"
but also applauds Evans' range and his efforts to describe how the war
affected ordinary people. At nearly a thousand pages, this is no quick read, but
it's well worth the effort for those interested in World War II history.
It Happened in April
The Fall of Berlin, 1945 - by Antony Beevor
Publisher: Penguin Books
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 5/1/2003
ISBN-13: 9780142002803
ISBN-10: 0142002801
Though this compelling chronicle of the last days of the Third Reich covers
from January to May, 1945, it was in late April that Soviet forces entered
Berlin.
In addition to parsing out retribution for recent Nazi atrocities, they
hoped to capture German scientists and gain the knowledge necessary to build an
atomic bomb--a motivation that Allied forces were unaware of. The Soviets
and their brutal approach on Berlin are the focus of The Fall of Berlin, 1945,
but military historian Antony Beevor also attends to the miserable
conditions of Berlin's three million starving citizens, the desperate maneuvers
by Nazi
leaders, and the actions taken by American and British forces.

April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America -
by Michael Eric Dyson
Publisher: Basic Civitas Books
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 3/24/2008
ISBN-13: 9780465002122
ISBN-10: 0465002129
Forty years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., author and
activist Michael Eric Dyson reassesses the late civil rights leader's influence
on American society and his role as a black leader. In addition to
discussing the impact of King's violent death on himself and others (he writes,
"The
bullet that shattered King's jaw lodged fragments of fear deep inside my
psyche."), Dyson examines the model that King left for other black leaders to
aspire to; Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, and Oprah Winfrey are
all scrutinized. If you are interested in black history, leadership, or the
contemporary state of racial politics, give April 4, 1968 a try.

For Liberty and Glory: Washington, Lafayette, and Their Revolutions - by
James R. Gaines

ISBN-10: 0393061388
The relationship between George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette
began during the American Revolution, when Lafayette was just 19. Lafayette
served
as both a general and a diplomat for the fledgling republic, and later went
on to play an important role in the French Revolution. In For Liberty and Glory,
author James Gaines gives a narrative account of the "sister revolutions,"
and reveals the connections between the conflicts, while discussing the close
but complex relationship between Washington and Lafayette. And the April
connection? On April 18, 1775, as Paul Revere was making his way to Lexington,
a riot broke out in France over the price of flour.

The First Heroes: The Extraordinary Story of the Doolittle Raid--America's
First World War II Victory - by Craig Nelson
Publisher: Penguin Books
Check Library Catalog
Pub Date: 9/1/2003
ISBN-13: 9780142003411
ISBN-10: 0142003417
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, U.S. President Roosevelt asked Air Force
colonel James A. Doolittle to plan the first bombing raid on Japan, which took
place four months later, in April, 1942. The planes--16 B-52 bombers crewed
by volunteers--flew halfway across the Pacific Ocean before reaching their
targets; after deploying their bombs, they carried on towards unoccupied
China. Though there were casualties, the Doolittle Raid was a definite success
for the U.S., not only in military terms but because U.S. confidence lifted
while Japanese morale was damaged. First-person accounts pepper this
enthusiastic
look at an important, if little-known, event in World War II history.
Manhunt: The Twelve-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer - by James L. Swanson

Pub Date: 2/1/2006
ISBN-13: 9780060518493
ISBN-10: 0060518499
This fascinating account of the escape of Abraham Lincoln's assassin takes
readers on the intense 12-day search for John Wilkes Booth that began on the
streets of Washington, D.C., careened through the swamps of Maryland, and
continued into the forests of Virginia. Thanks to rare archival materials, the
dramatic April hunt comes into focus, as do the federal agents and Union
cavalry who pursued Booth. Lincoln fans, assassination buffs, and anyone who
likes
a good chase story will enjoy this taut, suspenseful work. Keep a lookout
for Manhunt's eventual appearance in theaters, as Hollywood has already optioned
this story.

In April, 1865, during the last month of the U.S. Civil War, the divided
country saw the fall of Richmond, General Lee's surrender at the Appomattox
courthouse
in Virginia, and President Lincoln's assassination. In addition to shedding
light on these events and others during the collapse of the Confederacy and
the end of the war, historian Jay Winik also explores how that April marked
a decisive turning point in the history of the U.S.--it was after the Civil
War that bonds between the individual states tightened to form a stronger
United States. Don't miss this engaging look into the people and events of the
Civil War.
