  • The Declaration Decoded From Katie Kennedy The Guide That Inspired Our Nation
    2026/06/28
    A Guide to the Document That Inspired Our Nation “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. . . .” So begins the Declaration of Independence, the fabled 1776 document in which a group of men in a distant colony of the British Empire declared their freedom from that Empire — and thus changed the world. But WERE “all men created equal”? What are “unalienable rights”? And how did these men come to write this document anyway?
    History and civics professor Katie Kennedy knows how important it is to understand the meaning behind these often-quoted words. In the style of her acclaimed THE CONSTITUTION DECODED and THE PRESIDENTS DECODED, THE DECLARATION DECODED goes through the Declaration sentence by sentence and idea by idea. Readers will gain a deep understanding of not only the basic meaning of the Founders’ now-arcane language, but the historical background against which the Declaration was written, the situations that animated it (especially its 27 distinctly modern “grievances” against King George III), and the powerful arguments it makes about government, rights, responsibilities, and freedoms—arguments that we’re still having 250 years later THE DECLARATION DECODED brings this powerful text to life for a new generation.

    2026/05/24
    The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them TogetherAt its core, this true story traces the striking parallels between two friends from the same small Illinois hometown, John B. and Bob, bound by the same woman, Polley—one man’s sister, the other’s unrequited love. Both join the Army Air Corps, train as B-24 navigators, and rise to lead crews into combat. Months apart, each is shot down over the same target—and both go missing. Guided by luck and fate, only one finds his way home.The larger picture is the U.S. campaign to destroy Hitler’s fuel source at Ploesti, Romania. From Benghazi, Libya, the 8th and 9th Air Force launched Operation Tidal Wave, the first-ever zero-altitude raid— of the 1,700 men that took off that morning, 532 failed to return, including John B. Bob set out to learn John B.’s fate. Months later, the 15th AF regrouped and followed with relentless high-level bombing—some 2,300 airmen went missing, captured or killed, including Bob. Back home, Polley could only wait and hope as friendship, loyalty are forever reshaped by war.At its heart, is a deeply human story— told through the voices of John B. and Bob and the eyes of Polley (based on hundreds of letters a POW diary and family verities corroborated by primary sources including the national archives, both US and German), where war unfolds not only in missions and survival but in the fragile bonds forged amid wartime chaos.A USA Today bestseller, THE NAVIGATOR’S LETTER by JAN CRESS DONDI, reveals one of the most audacious and overlooked World War II stories. It chronicles a dangerous U.S. Army Air Force campaign through the voices of two airmen bound by duty—and one woman, forming a deeply human narrative. A gripping blend of military history and war biography, it captures brotherhood, love, and sacrifice.

  • Riding The White Bull The Making Of A Navy Seal From He Who Lived It Jack Ratliff
    2026/05/17
    A retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, Ratliff served aboard destroyers and with Underwater Demolition Team 11, the elite Cold War–era unit that directly preceded today’s Navy SEAL teams. Jack writes a historical record of how the U.S. Navy prepared young officers and enlisted men for combat in the 1950s and early 1960s. Riding the White Bull documents the training, culture, and mindset that defined American military readiness in the post–World War II period. Ratliff offers detailed, insider descriptions of destroyer service in the “tin can Navy,” the evolution of frogman units, and the brutal physical and psychological conditioning used to identify who could operate under fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty. Training was not abstract or theoretical; it was deliberately uncomfortable, risky, and unsparing, designed to reveal judgment and character before men were ever sent into harm’s way.

  • The Brand New Novel Passages A Voyage From War To Peace From Author PK Edgewater
    2026/04/18
    Bound by chance and the intimacy of therapy, an old warrior and a fledgling psychiatrist test each other’s true north. Miko, the precocious son of a Greek fisherman, has weathered an indecisive path to adulthood in medicine and psychiatry. . . or has he? Dormant in his soul is a muse for writing and a smoldering guilt of abandoning his father. His training trajectory finds him in Tulsa, USA, of all places, where a 2 a.m. hospital admission, the aging, drunk, and potentially violent Vietnam veteran AJ becomes the young physician's patient. A metaphysical quirk awaits them. Unwitting confidants in the quest to understand what each is missing, the two trade insights best borne from meeting the other where he is. AJ is a prisoner of the exhilarating echoes of a confusing war; Miko suppresses his own psychological turmoil while exposing that of others. A chance meeting of their wives leads to a bond kept hidden under norms of confidentiality. Each woman finds something of themselves in the other and the moxie to withstand battles in their own marriages, on their own terms. Why AJ was brought to the hospital by the police that night pits a sense of duty against self-destruction. Why was there but a single round in his Luger that night? In Passages, the author takes aim at our enigmatic humanity. Each of us is the hero in his or her own life, a contrast of magnificence and flaws, navigating the complexity of principles and barriers as best one can.
