In 1922, the British archaeologist Henry Carter opened KingTutankhamun’s tomb, illuminating the glories of an ancientcivilization. And while the world celebrated the extraordinaryrevelation that gave Carter international renown and an indelibleplace in history, by the time of his death, the discovery hadnearly destroyed him. Now, in a stunning feat of narrativenonfiction, Daniel Meyerson has written a thrilling and evocativeaccount of this remarkable man and his times. Carter began his career inauspiciously. At the age ofseventeen–unknown, untrained, untried–he was hired as a copyist oftomb art by the brash, brilliant, and boldly unkempt father ofmodern archaeology, W. F. Petrie. Carter struck out on his own afew years later, sensing that something amazing lay buried beneathhis feet, waiting for him to uncover it. But others had the same idea: The ancient cities of Egypt werecrawling with European adventurers and their wealthy sponsors, eachhoping to outdo the others with glittering d
Casting Robert Louis Stevenson as his protagonist, Alberto Manguel, author of the international best seller A History of Reading, spins an intoxicating murder mystery in the South Pacific that echoes Joseph Conrad A. S. Byatt,and the psychological underpinnings of Stevensons own work. Robert Louis Stevenson has become accustomed to the intense colors and severe humidity of Samoa, as well as the uninhibited sensuality of its people. Yet his thoughts turn nostalgically back to his native Edinburgh after a chance encounter with the newly arrived Scots missionary, Mr. Baker, whose religious invectives challenge Stevenson loosening moral code. And when a young Samoan woman is raped and brutally murdered—someone for whom Stevenson privately pined—the once idyllic island erupts into a barely controlled insurgency.With a creeping sense of both dread and suspense as well as a playful nod to Stevenson own persona and imagination, Alberto Manguel has weaved together a compelling tale in the sultry South Pacific

The fascinating story of a long-forgotten "war on terror" thathas much in common with our own On a February evening in 1894, ayoung radical intellectual named mile Henry drank two beers at anupscale Parisian restaurant, then left behind a bomb as a partinggift. This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at theheart of The Dynamite Club, a mesmerizing account of Henry and hiscohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisiesetting offbombs in public places, killing the president of France, andeventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901. Paris in thebelle poque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newlyelectrified, the citys wide boulevards were lined with poshdepartment stores and outdoor cafs. But prosperity was limited to afew. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectualsfound common cause in a political philosophyanarchismthat embracedthe overthrow of the state by any means necessary. Yet in targetingcivilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers cha

In Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Marine Corps’ ground campaignup the Tigris and Euphrates was notable for speed andaggressiveness unparalleled in military history. Little has beenwritten, however, of the air support that guaranteed the drive’ssuccess. Paving the way for the rush to Baghdad was “the hammerfrom above”–in the form of attack helicopters, jet fighters,transport, and other support aircraft. Now a former Marine fighterpilot shares the gripping never-before-told stories of the Marineswho helped bring to an end the regime of Saddam Hussein. As Jay Stout reveals, the air war had actually been in theplanning stages ever since the victory of Operation Desert Storm,twelve years earlier. But when Operation Iraqi Freedom officiallycommenced on March 20, 2003, the Marine Corps entered the fightwith an aviation arm at its smallest since before World War II.Still, with the motto “Speed Equals Success,” the separate air andground units acted as a team to get the job done.

For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexicoand the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of theSpanish victors.

But in the searchfor enemy traffic on the elusive Ho Chi Minh Trail, always riskingenemy fire, capture, and death, pilots had to drop low enough toglimpse the telltale signs of movement such as suspicious dust ontreetops or disappearing tire marks on a dirt road (indicating ahidden truck park). Written by an accomplished journalist andveteran, Bury Us Upside Down is the stunning story of these braveAmericans, the men who flew in the covert Operation CommandoSabre–or “Misty”–the most innovative air operation of thewar. In missions that lasted for hours, the
