<p>What if Huey Long had been President in 1939? No Marshall Aid to Britain, no American involvement in the war ravaging Europe. Another chillingly credible ‘what-if’ thriller from the master of the genre.</p><p>For years UN peacekeepers have been deployed to war-torn regions of the world from Rwanda to Serbia and Congo to East Timor. Now it’s America’s turn.</p><p>Samuel Simpson is a young, idealistic journalist from Canada. Seeking adventure, he volunteers to become a records keeper for a UN war-crimes investigation team at work in upper New York State. Months earlier, a crippling terrorist attack against the United States resulted in its cities being emptied, its countryside set afire, and its government shaken to its knees.</p><p>In the aftermath of this attack, a virtual civil war broke out, until UN peacekeepers arrived to establish an uneasy peace. While Samuel and his team travel through the New York countryside, searching for evidence of an atrocious war crime, he promptly realizes that death is quick to strike from any farmhouse, road corner, or rest area. Even more chillingly, he begins to suspect that there is a traitor in his team, trying not only to conceal important evidence, but working to betray and kill them all, including the woman he loves.</p><p>Award-winning author Brendan DuBois paints a disturbing and poignant portrait in this smart, fast-paced thriller.</p><

Stig Dagerman

Sleet: Selected Stories

Stig Dagerman (1923–1954) is regarded as the most talented young writer of the Swedish post-war generation. By the 1940s, his fiction, plays, and journalism had catapulted him to the forefront of Swedish letters, with critics comparing him to William Faulkner, Franz Kafka, and Albert Camus. His suicide at the age of thirty-one was a national tragedy. This selection, containing a number of new translations of Dagerman's stories never before published in English, is unified by the theme of the loss of innocence. Often narrated from a child's perspective, the stories give voice to childhood's tender state of receptiveness and joy tinged with longing and loneliness.<

Her Body Knows

<p>A Editors' Choice</p><p>A fevered storyteller and a captive audience revisit the past in both of David Grossman's novellas, trying to make sense of a betrayal that neither one can put to rest. In a reserved and respectable man draws his sister-in-law into a paranoid conviction-that his wife is having an affair. In the title novella, a successful but embittered novelist delivers a merciless account of her dying mother's love affair with a much younger teenage boy. "Suffused with delirious tension and characters more substantial than in most novels twice its size" (), is a disquieting journey into the nature of infidelity and desire.</p><

Resistance

<p>In this official prequel to Resistance 3, prospects are not looking up for planet Earth or Lieutenant Joseph Capelli. With the Chimera invasion in full swing, America has crumbled under the fierce alien juggernaut, its defenses overrun, millions dead, the rest left to fend for themselves. Many try to avoid the alien virus that turns humans into Chimeran killing machines.</p><p>Capelli may be a pariah to the army for killing hero Nathan Hale, but he is still a patriot fighting to save the country and its citizens. However, some soldiers are ready to shoot him on sight—not to mention that Hale’s beautiful sister has every reason in the world to want him stone dead. But Capelli’s used to being in dangerous situations and taking crazy risks. And the next move he intends to make is pure suicide.</p><

Concrete Hell

<p>Throughout history cities have been at the center of warfare, from sieges to street-fighting, from peace-keeping to coups de mains. Sun Tzu admonished his readers of that the lowest realization of warfare was to attack a fortified city. Indeed, although strategists have advised against it across the millennia, armies and generals have been forced nonetheless to attack and defend cities, and victory has required that they do it well.</p><p>In Louis DiMarco has provided a masterful study of the brutal realities of urban warfare, of what it means to seize and hold a city literally block by block. Such a study could not be more timely. We live in an increasingly urbanizing world, a military unprepared for urban operations is unprepared for tomorrow. Di Marco masterfully studies the successes and failures of past battles in order to provide lessons for today’s tacticians.</p><

Babylon 5: Legions of Fire

<p>Centauri Prime declares war on the Interstellar Alliance in Book Three of the epic trilogy that continues ’s brilliant legacy…</p><p>Blind to the fact that he is a pawn in the Drakh’s deadly strategy, Centauri prime minister Durla launches an overwhelming blitzkrieg, sending Centauri warships to devastate other races’ homeworlds and pave the way for total conquest. Yet Durla is forced to fight a war on two fronts. Even as he mobilizes the massive space fleet for its glorious attack, resistance leader Vir Cotto works feverishly to counter the Drakh’s evil influence on Centauri Prime.</p><p>Emperor Londo Mollari possesses the key that can reveal the presence of the Drakh, but to do so would spell disaster, so he is forced to remain silent.

If Vir and the Resistance are to prevail, it will be only through action, and with help from very strange allies…</p><

Greg Dawson

Judgment Before Nuremberg

<p>When people think of the Holocaust, they think of Auschwitz, Dachau; and when they think of justice for this terrible chapter in history, they think of Nuremberg. Not of Russia or the Ukraine, and certainly not a town called Kharkov. But in reality, the first war-crimes trial against the Nazis was in this idyllic, peaceful Ukrainian city, which is fitting, because it is also where the Holocaust actually began.</p><p>Revealing a lost chapter in Holocaust historiography, tells the story of Dawson’s journey to this place, to the scene of the crime, and the discovery of the trial which began the tortuous process of avenging the murder of his grandparents, great-grandparents, and tens of thousands of fellow Ukrainians consumed at the dawn of the Shoah, a moment and crime now largely cloaked in darkness.</p><p>Eighteen months before the end of World War II—two full years before the opening statement by the prosecution at Nuremberg—three Nazi officers and a Ukrainian collaborator were tried and convicted of war crimes and hung in Kharkov’s public square. The trial is symbolic of the larger omission of Ukraine from the popular history of the Holocaust—another deep irony as most of the first of the six million perished in Ukraine long before Hitler and his lieutenants even decided on the formalities of the Final Solution.</p><

Las Ratas

Visión trágica y dura de un pueblo castellano, Las ratas -galardonada con el Premio de la Crítica 1962- es uno de los libros en que mejor ha reflejado Delibes el drama de la Castilla rural. En la novela, el medio geográfico y social parece determinar de modo decisivo el ser y el existir de sus criaturas, el destino parece jugar con esos personajes, pobres lugareños aferrados al terruño, vivos y elementales, que defienden rabiosamente su libertad. Entre ellos surge poderosamente la figura del Ratero, y sobre todo la del Nini, que intenta rebelarse contra la sordidez que le rodea, pero su rebeldía es callada, dulce, sin vanidad, y le levanta a la altura de símbolo: el bien contra el mal, el candor contra la astucia…<

Alexandre Dumas

Les Quarante-Cinq Tome III

Les Quarante-Cinq constitue le troisième volet du grand triptyque que Dumas a consacré à l'histoire de France de la Renaissance. Il achève le récit de cette décadence de la seigneurie commencé par La Reine Margot et poursuivi avec La Dame de Monsoreau. A cette époque déchirée, tout se joue sur fond de guerre : guerres de Religion, guerres dynastiques, guerres amoureuses. Aussi les héros meurent-ils plus souvent sur l'échafaud que dans leur lit, et les héroïnes sont meilleures maîtresses que mères de famille. Ce qui fait la grandeur des personnages de Dumas, c'est que chacun suit sa pente jusqu'au bout, sans concession, mais avec panache. D'où l'invincible sympathie qu'ils nous inspirent. Parmi eux, Chicot, le célèbre bouffon, qui prend la place du roi. C'est en lui que Dumas s'est reconnu. N'a-t-il pas tiré ce personnage entièrement de son imagination ? Mais sa véracité lui permet d'évoluer avec aisance au milieu des personnages historiques dont il lie les destins. Dumas ayant achevé son roman à la veille de la révolution de 1848, Chicot incarne par avance la bouffonnerie de l'histoire.<
