To this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J.Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyricprose that have made him one of the premier historians of theRevolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimesseems as remote as his effigy on Mount Rushmore, Ellis assessesGeorge Washington as a military and political leader and a manwhose “statue-like solidity” concealed volcanic energies andemotions. Here is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival incombat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is thefree-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilledhim with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the generalwho lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president whotried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. HisExcellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to anunderstanding not only of its subject but also of the nation hebrought into being.

In House of War, New York Times best-selling author JamesCarroll argues and then proves a radical thesis: the Pentagon has,since its founding, operated beyond the control of any force ingovernment or society. It is the ultimate loose cannon in Americanhistory, and no institution has changed this country more since theend of World War II. From its "birth" on September 11, 1941,through the nuclear buildup of the cold war and the eventual "shockand awe" of Iraq, Carroll recounts how "the Building" and itsdenizens achieved what Eisenhower called "a disastrous rise ofmisplaced power." This is not faded history. Carroll shows how theconsequences of the American response to September 11,2001-including two wars and an ignited Middle East-form one end ofan arc that stretches from Donald Rumsfeld back to James Forrestal,the first man to occupy the office of secretary of defense in thePentagon. House of War confronts this dark past so we mayunderstand the current war and forestall the next.
One ofthe most critical battles of the Afghan War is now revealed asnever before.

Southern Afghanistan was slipping away.That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his thirdtour of duty there in 2006.

To stop them, the NATOcoalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in itshistory. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packedwarren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers,lush orchards, and towering marijuana stands, all laced withtreacherous irrigation ditches. A mass exodus of civilians heraldedthe carnage to come. Dispatched as a diversionary force insuppo

“Nearly forty years after I first got involved, I remaincaptivated by the possibilities of politics and public service.

It is history on an epic yet human scale. Vast in scope,exhaustive in original research, written with passion, narrativeskill, and human sympathy, A People's Tragedy is a profound accountof the Russian Revolution for a new generation. Many consider theRussian Revolution to be the most significant event of thetwentieth century. Distinguished scholar Orlando Figes presents apanorama of Russian society on the eve of that revolution, and thennarrates the story of how these social forces were violentlyerased. Within the broad stokes of war and revolution are miniaturehistories of individuals, in which Figes follows the main players'fortunes as they saw their hopes die and their world crash intoruins. Unlike previous accounts that trace the origins of therevolution to overreaching political forces and ideals, Figesargues that the failure of democracy in 1917 was deeply rooted inRussian culture and social history and that what had started as apeople's revolution contained the seeds of its degeneration intoviolence
