A PRESIDENTIAL DYNASTY. AN ARAB TERRORIST ATTACK. DEMOCRACYUNDER SIEGE. Mario Puzo envisioned it all in his eerily prescient1991 novel, The Fourth K. President Francis Xavier Kennedy is elected to office, in largepart, thanks to the legacy of his forebears–good looks, privilege,wealth–and is the very embodiment of youthful optimism. Too soon,however, he is beaten down by the political process and, disabusedof his ideals, he becomes a leader totally unlike what he has beenbefore. When his daughter becomes a pawn in a brutal terrorist plot,Kennedy, who has obsessively kept alive the memory of his uncles’assassinations, activates all his power to retaliate in a series ofviolent measures. As the explosive events unfold, the world andthose closest to him look on with both awe and horror.

She has been back to London countless times since, throughthe pages of books and in person, and now, in Imagined London, shetakes her own readers on a tour of this greatest of literarycities. While New York, Paris, and Dublin are also vividly portrayed infiction, it is London, Quindlen argues, that has always been thestar, both because of the primacy of English literature and thespecificity of city de*ions. She bases her view of the city onher own detailed literary map, tracking the footsteps of herfavorite characters: the places where Evelyn Waugh's bright youngthings danced until dawn, or where Lydia Bennett eloped with thedastardly Wickham. In Imagined London, Quindlen walks through the city, movingwithin blocks from the great books of the 19th century to thedetective novels of the 20th to the new modernist tradition of the21st.

A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming ofage of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.' "Using a lean style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautestof novels, McDonough has produced a gripping account of his firstcommand, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'strategic hamlet'program. . . . Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . .McDonough has focused a seasoned storyteller’s eye on the details,people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel ofcommand under fire. . . . For the author’s honesty and literarycraftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a longtime by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future,veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying tounderstand what the profession of arms is all about.”–ArmyTimes
