Grant
This book paints a complex, largely sympathetic portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, seeking to rescue him from historical caricature and highlight his often-overlooked strengths, particularly his moral compass and commitment to civil rights.
A Peace to End All Peace
All of the conflicts and challenges in the Middle East are rooted in the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed by the Allies after the First World War.
The Nanjing Massacre
The subject is the notorious Japanese occupation of Nanjing, China, in 1937. Wing Tek Lum's poems capture all perspectives of the tragedy—from the weary, casually cruel Japanese soldiers.
A Bridge Too Far
The classic account of one of the most dramatic battles of World War II. A Bridge Too Far is Cornelius Ryan's masterly chronicle of the Battle of Arnhem, which marshaled the greatest armada of troop-carrying aircraft ever assembled and cost the Allies nearly twice as many casualties as D-Day.
