The Fourth Horseman: One Man's Secret Mission To Wage The Great War In America.
The Story Of Anton Dilger Brings To Life A Missing Chapter In U.s. History And Shows, Dramatically, That The Great European War Was In Fact Being Fought On The Home Front Years Before We Formally Joined It. The Doctor Who Grew Anthrax And Other Bacteria In That Rented House Was An American-the Son Of A Medal Of Honor Winner Who Fought At Gettysburg-on A Secret Mission, For The German Army In 1915. "the Fourth Horseman" Tells The Startling Story Of That Mission Led By A Brilliant But Conflicted Surgeon Who Became One Of Germany's Most Daring Spies And Saboteurs During World War I And Who Not Only Pioneered Biowarfare In His Native Land But Also Lead A Last-ditch German Effort To Goad Mexico Into Invading The United States. It Is A Story Of Mysterious Missions, Divided Loyalties, And A New And Terrible Kind Of Warfare That Emerged As America-in Spite Of Fierce Dissention At Home-was Making The Decision To Send Its Doughboys To The Great War In Europe. This Story Has Never Been Told Before In Full. And Dilger Is A Fascinating Analog For Our Own Troubled Times. Having Thrown Off The Tethers Of Obligation To Family And Country, He Became A Very Dangerous Man Indeed: A Spy, A Saboteur, And A Zealot To A Degree That May Have So Embarrassed The German High Command That, After The War, They Ordered His Death Rather Than Admit That He Worked For Them.

That Summer In Sicily: A Love Story.
"from De Blasi (&quo;the Lady In The Palazzo," 2007, Etc.), A Fragrant Tale Of Life And Love In The Mountains Of Sicily.shortly After The Venetian Interlude She Luxuriously Captured In "a Thousand Days In Venice" (2002), The Author Accepted An Assignment To Write A Magazine Article On The Interior Regions Of Sicily. Like Many Other Journalists, She Was Met By Silence From The Wary Sicilians. She Was About To Retire To The Mainland When She Stumbled Upo N Villa Donnafugata, Whose Romantic Turrets, Towers, Balconies And Chromatically Tiled Roof Were Surrounded By Gardens, Fields, Piazzas And Hills. The Black-draped, Oldish Women In Residence Tended To Their Various Labors, Chanted, Laughed And Prayed. The Sun Was Hot, The Smell Of Herbs Suffused The Air. Was This A Fever Dream? De Blasi Wondered. No, But It Was Surely A Place From Another Time, And How It Emerged Out Of Feudalism Through An Act Of Moral Modernity Was A Story Unfurled To The Author By The Villa's Mistress, Tosca. The Tale, Which Comprises Most Of The Book, Is A Marvel. As A Child Of Nine Or Ten, Tosca Was Sent By Her Horse-breeder Father To Live With A Sicilian Prince, Leo, Who "had A Stallion That Tosca's Father Wanted More Than His Daughter." Early Rebellion Gave Way To Affection, Then Love. Together, In The Years Following World War Ii, The Prince And His Ward Brought Education, Health Care And A Shared Sense Of Purpose To The Village Around Their Manor. Rapture And Grief Came In Measured Doses, But Ultimately Leo Was Run Out Of Town For His Affront To The "centuries'-old System Of Hierarchy That Kept The Wealthy In Comfort And The Poor In Misery." Even In 1995, When De Blasi First Visited Donnafugata, The Old Ways Abided, Like The Shawl Tosca Wore At Night, Still Permeated With The Scent Of Her Beloved. Swift, Sinuous, Deep And Brimming With Cultural Artifacts." -kirkus Reviews "strangers Seldom Wander Into The Mountainous Wild At Sicily's Heart. The Locals, Having Resisted Repeated Waves Of Invaders, Maintain Their Own Traditions In Defiance Of The Outside World. So When De Blasi And Her Venetian Husband Trek Into Sicily's Core In Search Of Background For A Travel Guide, They Discover A World Much Removed From Modern Life. Persevering In What Seems A Fruitless Search, They Finally Stumble Upon The Villa Donnafugata, An Old Wreck Of A Castle Presided Over By An Imperious Woman Called Tosca. The Villa Has Become A Refuge For Widows From The Region. It Also Houses A Birthing Clinic, Vital To The Mountains' Isolated Women. The Residents Eat Well And Heartily, The Leftovers Distributed To The Local Town's Poor. De Blasi Uncovers Tosca's Past, An Extraordinary Tale Of Passion And Love Stretching Over Decades Of The Twentieth Century. Admirers Of This Author Will Relish Her Latest Volume."

Casanova Was A Book Lover: And Other Naked Truths And Provocative Curiosities About The Writing, Selling, And Reading Of Books.
Npr Commentator Hamilton, Who Critically Assessed The State Of Print Journalism In Hold The Press: The Inside Story Of Newspapers, Now Takes On The "literary-industrial Complex" In This Disappointing Book. In Nine Chapters, Hamilton (dean Of Lsu's School Of Mass Communications) Covers A Lot Of Ground At A Breakneck Pace: He Gives A Lively Rundown Of The Nation's Most Stolen Books (the Bible, The Joy Of Sex Abd Practice For The Armed Services Test Top The List); He Peevishly Examines The Banal Rules That Govern The Contents Of "the Acknowledgements Page"; And He Spends A Lot Of Time Attacking Well-flogged Horses Such As Amazon.com, Oprah's Book Club, The Book-of-the-month Club, The Overflow Of Bestsellsrs From Stephen King And Such Mega-corporate Publishers As Bertelsmann. (he Also Criticizes The State Of Book Reviewing - But Here He Isn't Critical Enough.) Hamilton Is A Capable Writer, But He Relies Too Often On Secondhand Statistics, Thirdhand Anecdotes And Heavy Attempts At Light Humor. The Last Chapter, In Which He Interviews The Staff Of The Library Of Congress About Their Battle With The Growing Information Glut And Their Preservation Problems, Stands Out As A Fresh Contribution To The Debates About Books And Publishing. Unfortunately, The Rest Of The Time Hamilton Can't Decide If He Wants To Provide Bibliophiles With A Casual Collection Of Interesting Tidbits Or A Critical Assessment Of The State Of The Book Industry.
