Two gunshots fired on June 28, 1914, in the small city of Sarajevo, Bosnia - then part of the Austro-Hungrian empire and still war-torn today - launched the major countries of the globe into the first worldwide conflict. Author Edward Dolan paints a vivid picture of the events leading to America's full involvement in 1917 in a war already raging in Europe: the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand; the sinking of passenger ships, such as the Lusitania; and the German's development of a powerful new weapon, the Unterseebooten (the submarine) |

When General George Washington beat a hasty retreat from New York City in August 1776, many thought the American Revolution might soon be over. Instead, Washington rallied - thanks in large part to a little known, top-secret group called the Culper Spy Ring. Washington realized that he couldn't beat the British with military might, so he recruited a sophisticated and deeply secretive intelligence network to infiltrate New York. So carefully guarded were the members' identities that one spy's name was not uncovered until the twentieth century, and one remains unknown today. But by now, historians have discovered enough information about the ring's activities to piece together evidence that these six individuals turned the tide of the war |

"I Guarantee It." It was pure Namath - outrageous, almost arrogantly confident, blasphemous to old sports hands, a great big nose-thumbing to the establishment. When Joe Namath vowed that the New York Jets, representing the perenially hapless AFL, would beat the NFL's great Baltimore Colts, he was dismissed as a kid quarterback with too much money and not enough humility. After all, the Jets were 18-point underdogs in 1969's upcoming "Third World Championship Game" - a Super Bowl that until then had been anything but super. But in making good on his guarantee, Namath did more than deliver one of the most stunning upsets of all time. He changed the face of sports forever |

Seventy years ago, Admiral A. K. Wilson of the Royal Navy issued his ringing denunciation of the submarine. It was, he thundered, 'underhand, unfair, and damned unEnglish'. Of couse, "Tug" Wilson was only repeating the time-honoured hypocrisy reserved for new weapons by those who are proficient with the old. It was hardly to be expected that the mightiest navy the world had ever seen would take kindly to a newfangled device that threatened the very existence of capital ships. Yet in a curious way his comment was prophetic. Leaving aside the moral question, the submarine was about the most 'unEnglish' weapon ever devised, in that England was uniquely vulnerable to it. In both world wars she was brought to the very brink of defeat by German U-boats, and by U-boats alone. Not even the bomber aeroplane carried the same threat to 'the mistress of the seas' |

Why do I write this Iliad of Homer Stryker, or Homer's Iliad? Homer Stryker impressed me the first day I met him in 1947. I was a young physician looking for a place to practice as soon as I could get out of the Army after World War II. His friendly attitude, his easy-going, story-telling ways certainly made me aware of how unique he was. Little did I know then that in the next 45 years this man would become a world renowned multimillionaire by applying his inventive genius to his chosen specialty, orthopedic surgery. My admiration and respect grew in fondness, awe and fast friendship |

| Tiger Force: A True Story Of Men And War / 2006 |
Sallah, Michael and Weiss, Mitch |
Hard Cover |
V. Good |
At the outset of the Vietnam War, the Army created an experimental fighting unit that became known as "Tiger Force". The Tigers were to be made up of the cream of the crop - the very best and bravest soldiers the American military could offer. They would be given a long leash, allowed to operate in the field with less supervision. Their mission was to seek out enemy compounds and hiding places so that bombing runs could be accurately targeted. They were to go where no troops had gone, to become one with the jungle, to leave themselves behind and get deep inside the enemy's mind. The experiment went terribly wrong |

Steak and potatoes, a stack of griddle cakes with syrup, two eggs with ham and bacon, and a wedge of apple pie - this was an average American breakfast before W. K. Kellogg changed the eating habits of a nation. "Life Begins At Forty" was no mere a cliche to this pioneer. His career actually started after a long quarter-century as assistant, handy man and shadow of his effervescent older brother, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who ran the world-famous Battle Creek Sanitarium |
