Unless and until we understand General William Westmoreland,we will never understand what happened to the Americans in Vietnam,or why. An Eagle Scout at fifteen, First Captain of his West Pointclass, Westmoreland fought in World War II and Korea, risingrapidly to command the 101st Airborne Division and becomeSuperintendent at West Point, then was chosen to lead the wareffort in Vietnam. That turned out to be a disaster. He failed to understand acomplex war, choosing a flawed strategy, sticking to it in the faceof all opposition, and misrepresenting the results when truthmattered most. In so doing he squandered four years of support byCongress, much of the media, and the American people. The tragedy of William Westmoreland provides lessons not just forVietnam, but for America’s future military and politicalleadership. Lewis Sorley’s definitive portrait is essentialreading.

In his introduction to the The Best American Noir of theCentury, James Ellroy writes, “noir is the most scrutinizedoffshoot of the hard-boiled school of fiction. It’s the long dropoff the short pier and the wrong man and the wrong woman in perfectmisalliance. It’s the nightmare of flawed souls with big dreams andthe precise how and why of the all-time sure thing that goes bad.”Offering the best examples of literary sure things gone bad, thiscollection ensures that nowhere else can readers find a darker,more thorough distillation of American noirfiction. James Ellroy and Otto Penzler, series editor of the annual TheBest American Mystery Stories, mined one hundred years ofwriting—1910–2010—to find this treasure trove of thirty-ninestories. From noir’s twenties-era infancy come gems like James M.Cain’s “Pastorale,” and its post-war heyday boasts giants likeMickey Spillane and Evan Hunter. Packing an undeniable punch,diverse contemporary incarnations include Elmore Leonard, Pa

It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzyof prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small NewEngland town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forcedto retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. Thecharge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would haveastonished his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret.But it's not the secret of his affair, at seventy-one, with FauniaFarley, a woman half his age with a savagely wrecked past - apart-time farmhand and a janitor at the college where, untilrecently, he was the powerful dean of faculty. And it's not thesecret of Coleman's alleged racism, which provoked the collegewitch-hunt that cost him his job and, to his mind, killed his wife.Nor is it the secret of misogyny, despite the best efforts of hisambitious young colleague, Professor Delphine Roux, to expose himas a fiend. Coleman's secret has been kept for fifty years: fromhis wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends,includi

In the "stifling heat of equatorial Newark," a terrifyingepidemic is raging, threatening the children of the New Jersey citywith maiming, paralysis, life-long disability, and even death. Thisis the startling and surprising theme of Roth's wrenching new book:a wartime polio epidemic in the summer of 1944 and the effect ithas on a closely knit, family-oriented Newark community and itschildren. At the center of NEMISIS is a vigorous, dutiful, twenty-threeyear old playground director, Bucky Cantor, a javelin thrower andweightlifter, who is devoted to his charges and disappointed withhimself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in thewar alongside his contemporaries. Focusing on Cantor's dilemmas aspolio begins to ravage his playground--and on the everday realitieshe faces--Roth leads us through every inch of emotion such apestilence can breed: the fear, the panic, the anger, thebewilderment, the suffering, and the pain. Moving between the smoldering, malodorous streets of besieg

The Tin Drum, one of the great novels of the twentiethcentury, was published in Ralph Manheim's outstanding translationin 1959. It became a runaway bestseller and catapulted its youngauthor to the forefront of world literature. To mark the fiftiethanniversary of the original publication, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,along with Grass's publishers all over the world, is bringing out anew translation of this classic novel. Breon Mitchell, acclaimedtranslator and scholar, has drawn from many sources: from a wealthof detailed scholarship; from a wide range of newly-availablereference works; and from the author himself. The result is atranslation that is more faithful to Grass's style and rhythm,restores omissions, and reflects more fully the complexity of theoriginal work. After fifty years, THE TIN DRUM has, if anything,gained in power and relevance. All of Grass's amazing evocationsare still there, and still amazing: Oskar Matzerath, theindomitable drummer; his grandmother, Anna Koljaiczek; his mother,Agnes;

THE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN HISTORY OF WESTEROS AND THE LANDS BEYOND WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF ALL-NEW MATERIAL FROM GEORGE R. R. MARTIN If the past is prologue, then George R. R. Martin’s masterwork—the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time—warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice & Fire . This lavishly illustrated volume is a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, providing vividly constructed accounts of the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones . In a collaboration that’s been years in the making, Martin has teamed with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson, the founders of the renowned fan site Westeros.org—perhaps the only people who know this world almost as well as its visionary creator. Collected here is all the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maeg

Known as an ‘anthropologist of everyday life,’ Margaret Visserhas, in five award-winning books, uncovered and illuminated theintriguing and unexpected meanings of everyday objects and habits.Now she turns her keen eye to another custom so frequentlyencountered that it often escapes notice: saying ‘Thank you.’ Whatdo we really mean by these two simple words? This fascinating inquiry into all aspects of gratitude ranges fromthe unusual determination with which parents teach their childrento thank, to the difference between speaking the words and feelingthem, to the ways different cultures handle the complex matters ofgiving, receiving, and returning favors and presents. Visserilluminates the fundamental opposition in our own culture betweengift-giving and commodity exchange, and the similarities betweengratitude and its opposite, vengefulness. The Gift of Thanksconsiders cultural history, including the modern battle of socialscientists to pin down the notion of thankfulness and account forit, and the

"There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before TheLord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in thegreat country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: landswhere Treebeard once walked, but that were drowned in the greatcataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. "In that remotetime Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress ofAngband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turinand his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear ofAngband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secretcities of the Elves. "Their brief and passionate lives weredominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as thechildren of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn himto his face.
