11 Days in December $14 It was truly a white Christmas in the Ardennes Forest in 1944, but that was cold comfort to the Allied soldiers trying to stop the Nazis from retaking Belgium in one of the most decisive battles of World War II. While a German loudspeaker taunted, How would you like to die for Christmas? the Allied forces dug in, despite freezing conditions. They needed a miracle. In a medieval chapel, General Patton, who needed clear skies to allow airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, uttered what would become a famous prayer: Sir, whose side are you on? His soldiers wouldn’t be home for Christmas, but as the skies cleared, they went on to win a battle and a war. |

1939: The Alliance That Never Was and the Coming of World War II $6.04 At a crucial point in the twentieth century, as Nazi Germany prepared for war, negotiations between Britain, France, and the Soviet Union became the last chance to halt Hitler”s aggression. Michael Carley”s gripping account of these negotiations challenges prevailing interpretations by situating 1939 at the end of the early cold war between the Soviet Union, France, and Britain, and by showing how anti-communism was the major cause of the failure to form an alliance against Hitler. Michael Carley has done what many would say is impossible. He has given us a new understanding of the coming of World War II in Europe. Lloyd C. Gardner. |

1989 the Berlin Wall $24.95 Capturing the zeitgeist of the Soviet era, journalist Peter Millar recounts his experiences reporting on the collapse of the Berlin Wall, when he was trapped in Checkpoint Charlie between bemused East German border guards and drunk Western revelers prematurely celebrating the end of an era. Having lived in East Berlin and even Moscow, Millar took a wild journey into the heart of cold war Europe and chronicled the fall not only of the Soviet Union but of Communism as well. From the hitchhiking trip that helped him discover a secret path into a career in journalism and the carousing bars of Fleet Street in the 1970s to the East Berlin corner pub with its eclectic cast of customers who taught him the truth about living on the wrong side of the Wall, this autobiography provides detailed insight into the domino effect that swept through Eastern Europe and how the author felt as he opened his Stasi files to discover which of his friends had actually been spying on him. |

61/Do You Believe in Miracles 2pk $18.86 Includes the sports favorites 61* and DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.61*: One was the Yankees’ best loved player, the other was their most valuable. In the summer of 1961, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle took on Babe Ruth’s record, the 1927 single-season home run slam. It would be a summer that no one who loves baseball will ever forget. In 1961, Mickey Mantle is a Yankee favorite. The smiling sun god of the season, a hit with fans and sports writers alike and natural heir to his predecessors Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Also at bat is a young Midwesterner, Roger Maris. A hard-hitting right fielder, Maris is Mantle’s opposite in almost every way. Quiet and soft-spoken, he doesn’t add up to everything a sports legend should be, and finds himself losing the support of the fans when he refuses to try. As the summer of 1961 unfolds, both Maris and Mantle find themselves approaching Babe Ruth’s benchmark of 60 home runs. Facing mounting pressure from the media and the stands, they both know there’s only one winner. The people make their choice known. But the people’s favorite isn’t the favorite to win.DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES: In February of 1980 amidst growing Cold War fears, the U.S. hockey team created an unforgettable moment of national pride when they miraculously beat the Soviets on the ice-a win selected by Sports Illustrated as the #1 sports moment of the century. Revisiting lake Placid twenty-one years later, Do You Believe In Miracles? takes a look at the team’s emotional climb to gold while exploring the tumultuous political and social landscape of the time. Interviews include U.S. players Jim Craig and Mike Eruzione, coach herb Brooks, Soviet players Vladislav Tretiak and Boris Mihailov, American hostage Barry Rosen (held in Iran 1979-80) and Broadcaster Al Michaels. |

A (w/ Bonus DVD) $24.98 Jethro Tull’s classic A album from 1980 is now digitally remastered and includes a bonus DVD called Slipstream which consists of a mixture of live footage from a 1980 concert in L.A. and studio promos of Sweet Dreams, Too Old To Rock ‘N’ Roll and The Hare That Lost It’s Spectacles. Originally destined as Anderson’s first solo album, A became a dramatically different Tull product with a new lineup (except Barre), minimal flute, and a lot of electronic keyboards and Eddie Jobson’s ( Roxy Music ) electronic violin. Not suprisingly, the album was a shock to many Tull fans and remains quite controversial to this day though it is often cited by critics as one of the band’s best works.Despite instrumentation differences, the general style maintains the surprisingly folkie feel of its album contemporaries. Yet, the album heralds Tull’s early 1980′s segway into electronic music and themes such as the Cold War and economic recession.This new release contains a remaster (with stereo sound) of the Slipstream video. The film mixes live footage of the A tour with various videos including the webmaster’s favourite, Sweet Dream, with Ian appearing as Aqualung and Dracula and apparently unintentional nods to various Tull songs and albums. |

A Brief History Of 1917 $10.15 Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution began in 1917 and has remained a controversial political and academic battleground, fought over for almost a century. It has been demonized-its more sinister aspects used as an anti-Communist battering ram throughout the Cold War-and glorified, as exemplified by John Reed’s classic Ten Days That Shook the World. Much has been written about the key figures-Lenin, Trotsky, Kerensky, and the rest-while the various political movements have been relentlessly analyzed. Yet there is another side to it, a more human story. What was life like for a peasant or a manual worker in Petrograd or Moscow in 1917? How much did a tram driver, his wife, or a common soldier know or understand about Bolshevism? What was the price of a loaf of bread or a pair of boots? Who kept the power stations running, the telephone exchanges, bakeries, farms, and hospitals working? These are just some of the details historian Roy Bainton brings to life, not through memoirs of politicians and philosophers, but in the memories of ordinary working people. As witnessed on the streets of Petrograd, Bainton brings us the indelible events of the most momentous year in Russian history. |

A Brief History of the Cold War: The Hidden Truth about How Close We Came to Nuclear Conflict $14.95 The Cold War was an undeclared war, fought silently and carefully between ideological opponents armed with the most fearsome weapons mankind has ever seen. Here, author Hughes-Wilson takes a cool look at this war, from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the dissolution of the USSR thereafter. He examines the suspicion and paranoia — on both sides — of the greatest stand-off in history. Written by one of Britain’s leading popular military historians, A Brief History of the Cold War makes accessible for the first time one of the key periods to shape our world. |

A Cardboard Castle? $281.27 This is the first book to document, analyze, and interpret the history of the Warsaw Pact based on the archives of the alliance itself. As suggested by the title, the Soviet bloc military machine that held the West in awe for most of the Cold War does not appear from the inside as formidable as outsiders often believed, nor were its strengths and weaknesses the same at different times in its surprisingly long history, extending for almost half a century. |

A Catholic Cold War: Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., and the Politics of American Anticommunism $41.85 This book is the first biography in 42 years of the priest and educator whom historians have called ?the most important anticommunist in the country.? Edmund A. Walsh, as dean of Georgetown College and founder in 1919 of its School of Foreign Service, is one of the most influential Catholic figures of the 20th century. Soon after the birth of the Bolshevik state, he directed the Papal Relief Mission in the Soviet Union, starting a lifelong immersion in Soviet and Communist affairs. He also established a Jesuit college in Baghdad, and served as a consultant to the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal. A pioneer in the new science of geopolitics, Walsh became one of Truman’s most trusted advisers on Soviet strategy. He wrote four books, dozens of articles, and gave thousands of speeches on the moral and political threat of Soviet Communism in America. Although he died in 1956, Walsh left an indelible imprint on the ideology and practical politics of Cold War Washington, moving easily outside the traditional boundaries of American Catholic life and becoming, in the words of one historian, ?practically an institution by himself.? Few priests, indeed few Catholics, played so large a role in shaping American foreign policy in the 20th century. ?A major contribution to our knowledge of a man whose well-deserved reputation as one of America’s foremost experts on Soviet communism made him an influential voice in shaping American public opinion [on] the American response to Soviet foreign policy. . . .Walsh, rather than the lamentable Senator Joseph McCarthy, deserves to be regarded as the most important American Catholic anticommunist of the twentieth century.??Richard Gid Powers, author of Not withoutHonor: The History of American Anticommunism ?Patrick McNamara’s thoroughly researched and crisply written biography is an important contribution to American political history.??Charles R.Morris, author of American Catholic: The Saints and Sinners Who Built America’s Most Powerful Chu |

A Cold Touch Of Ice $5.09 The world is changing aroung the Mamur Zapt, British Chief of Cairo’s Secret Police. It’s 1912 and there’s a war on that no one’s heard of. When an Italian man is murdered in the city’s back streets, there is concern that this could be some kind of ethnic cleansing. One of us Morelli may have been, but was he one of us enough? And were the guns in his warehouse anything to do with it? Gareth Owen — the Mamur Zapt — has to find out fast. And then, as external pressures crowd in, there are other difficult questions. What is Trudi von Ramsberg really doing in Cairo? Not to mention that other noted traveller, Gertrude Bell, or the irritating little archaeologist, T. E. Lawrence? And why has the post of Khedive’s Librarian suddenly become so important? Owen is just the man to solve these problems. He is less successful, though, in his relationship with Zeinab, especially now that she’s approaching thirty. As Cromer’s Egypt gives way to Kitchener’s Egypt, Morelli is not the only one who has problems over where his allegiance lies. Maybe the solution is for Owen to go to Zanzibar… |

A Cold Treachery $7.99 Charles Todd returns to the world of Scotland Yard’s Inspector Ian Rutledge in a series that the New York Times Book Review called harrowing psychological drama and the Washington Post Book World hailed as among the most intelligent and affecting being written these days. This time the embattled Inspector has met his match hunting a brutal killer across a frozen hell and the one witness who may have survived a crime of… A COLD TREACHERY You’ll hang for this-see if you don’t! That’s my revenge! And you’ll think about that when the rope goes around your neck and the black hood comes down…. Called out by Scotland Yard into the teeth of a violent blizzard, Inspector Ian Rutledge finds himself confronted with one of the most savage murders he has ever encountered. Rutledge might have expected such unspeakable carnage on the World War I battlefields, where he’d lost much of his soul-and his sanity-but not in an otherwise peaceful farm kitchen in remote Urskdale. Someone has murdered the Elcott family at their table without the least sign of struggle. Was the killer someone the young family knew and trusted? When the victims are tallied the local police are in for another shock: One of the Elcotts’ children, a boy named Josh, is missing. Now the Inspector must race to uncover a murderer and to save a child before he’s silenced by the merciless elements-or the even colder hands of a killer. Haunted and goaded by the soldier-ghost of his own tortured war past, Rutledge will discover the tragedy of war that splintered one marriage-and pulled together another. Love, jealousy, greed, revenge-or was it some twisted combination of all of them? Any one could lead aman or woman to murder. What had the Elcotts done to ignite their killer’s rage? With time running out, Rutledge knows all too well that such a cold-blooded murderer could be hiding somewhere in the blinding snow…preparing to strike again. From the Hardcover edition. |

A Cold War Odyssey $3.08 The Cold War — that long ideological conflict between the world’s two superpowers — had a profound effect not only on nations but on individuals, especially all those involved in setting and implementing the policies that shaped the struggle. Donald Nuechterlein was one such individual and this is his story.Although based in fact, the narrative reads like fiction, and it takes the reader behind the scenes as no purely factual telling of that complex story can. Presented as the story of David and Helen Bruening and their family, A Cold War Odyssey carries us across three continents. Against a backdrop of national and international events, we follow the Bruenings through five decades as David’s governmental and academic assignments take them to all corners of the world.In the tradition of Herman Wouk’s Winds of War, the Bruening’s personal and professional odyssey offers us a microcosm of world history in the second half of the twentieth century. Through the acute eyes of these participant observers, we see the partitioning of Europe after World War II, Korea and Vietnam, Watergate and Iran, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union and, with it, the end of the Cold War. With each succeeding episode, our understanding of the causes and consequences of international struggle is deepened through the Bruening’s experience. |

A Conflict Perpetuated: China Policy During the Kennedy Years $111.9 The first comprehensive account of China policy during the Kennedy years, this study profiles John F. Kennedy as a man whose inner struggles and disparate characteristics made for an unpredictable foreign policy. While he was often a hostage to the Cold War, to constrictive perceptions of the domestic climate, and to the image of a predatory China, Kennedy recognized Washington’s finite capacity to shape events on the China Mainland. With the possible exception of a preventive strike against China’s nuclear installations, he was also reluctant to run the risk of a military confrontation with Beijing. On the eve of his assassination, Kennedy may have even contemplated a China policy departure during his second term. |

A Constructed Peace $37.5 A powerful, original, and engaging work. Marc Trachtenberg has woven together an enormous array of evidence and information, much of it only recently available to researchers, into a compelling interpretation of an extremely important historical period. Trachtenberg”s book is broad as well as deep, and its implications for our understanding of the dynamics of the Cold War extend well beyond the period it examines. –Aaron L. Friedberg, Princeton University Marc Trachtenberg”s grasp of the finer points of Western internal debates on nuclear weapons and strategy is impressive. His book is an extraordinary piece of research and analysis that may very well set the standard in the field of Cold War studies for years to come. –William Stueck, University of Georgia |

A Deficit of Decency $56 From the Publisher: In February of 2004, Senator Zell Miller delivered the speech A Deficit of Decency on the Senate floor. The speech considered the very soul of America and generated an unexpectedly massive response from people across the nation. Expanding on this theme in his new book by the same title, former U.S. Senator and Georgia Governor Zell Miller identifies a wide range of issues-from media and sports role models, to the judiciary, to the decline of traditional Christian values of the family, responsibility and sacrifice-where an absence of decency is threatening the heart of America. A Deficit of Decency addresses specific issues where Miller sees a need to return to a basic sense of duty. Miller writes in the preface, There have been ten generations of Americans since this nation was founded….Each left this nation in a little better condition than they had inherited it from their parents. This is the first generation at risk of doing the opposite. Why? I have come to believe that it is because we failed to acknowledge and discipline ourselves with the spiritual truths that have made us great for these two hundred years-faith, family, country, values. This book is about how one man thinks they may be restored and yet save this great civilization from itself. In A Deficit of Decency, Miller also speaks candidly about the values that led him to attack his own party and deliver a keynote speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention. These same values, he believes, are desperately needed at the heart of American culture. Miller explains, There were two primary reasons I could not go where my lifelong political party wanted to take me. I seriously questioned its judgment on how to respond to the threat of terrorism, the most serious national security issue of the post Cold War era. But I also came to be repelled by the secularism that had engulfed its th |

A Distant Thunder $48.09 Shane Ryan is a wrong guy. Wrong race. Wrong gender. Wrong class. Wrong side of the tracks. Wrong attitude. America in the near future is a cold, cruel place, especially in the hardscrabble rural Pacific Northwest. There’s war in the Middle East, a revived draft, mass unemployment, an economy permanently on the skids, greed and corruption, incompetence and stupidity at the top. Poor blue-collar kids from the trailer park are last in line for everything. America has screwed Shane Ryan, and he returns the favor. He joins the Northwest Volunteer Army, a terrorist organization dedicated to overthrowing the United States government and establishing an independent nation.

A Double Global Threat: Communities Affected by Armed Violence and Countries Terrorized by Armed Conflicts: Small Arms $19.95 Since the end of the Cold War, new world tensions emerged as intra-state conflicts became more frequent. The superpowers allowed other countries to acquire their surpluses of small arms, [1] and to transfer them indiscriminately to specific areas of armed conflict. Thus, the uncontrollable proliferation and misuse of these weapons that intensify armed conflicts, and encourage armed criminality, result in thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Small arms have also aggregated impacts that affect the socio-economic development of entire populations. As this situation became chronic, States and civil society -including scholars and non-government organizations – began to formulate the two main questions: is it possible to stop the proliferation and to control the misuse of small arms? |

A Double Life $16.26 The life of Guy de Roumegouse is one of imposture, of playing roles, and of being constantly untrue to himself. In retirement in the south of France, he begins to write his memoirs, and in doing so confronts the betrayals and dislocations that have shaped and warped his life. At the heart of Guy’s duplicity is the repression of his homosexuality during a time when the Vichy government controlled all in war-torn France. At an age when this young man was supposed to experience a sexual awakening, he instead went into hiding both physically and emotionally. This fictional memoir is elegantly crafted and told in a prose as cold and paradoxical as its narrator. |
