"June 1944: One weather forecast will determine if D-Day succeeds—or becomes history's greatest military disaster. USAAF Captain Andy Lockhart stands at the heart of history's most pivotal operation, providing the meteorological intelligence that will guide Eisenhower's decision to send 150,000 Allied soldiers across the English Channel. When British and American forecasters deliver conflicting predictions, the liberation of Europe hangs in the balance. But when a German agent seizes Dot, Andy's sweetheart, from the streets of war-torn London, he faces an agonizing choice—steal the D-Day landing maps, or sacrifice Dot to the viciousness of the Abwehr. With invasion fleets already committed to the treacherous waters and Eisenhower awaiting his meteorologists' counsel, Andy must navigate a web of espionage and betrayal while safeguarding the operation that could determine the war's outcome. As June storms gather over the English coast, one man's heart-wrenching decision threatens to alter the course of the most audacious military undertaking in human history. A masterful blend of authentic military drama and human sacrifice, perfect for fans of Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett and The Winds of War by Herman Wouk who seek tales of honor, duty, and the extraordinary individuals who shaped our world's most defining moments."

Thy Will Be Done: George Washington's Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory

"How should we remember George Washington's entanglement in slavery? Americans have argued over that question for nearly 250 years. More than any other Founding Father, Washington's ties to slavery have vexed us. He enslaved more people than any of his fellow founders, yet he was the only one of them to emancipate the people he held in bondage. Since his death, Americans have grappled with this contradiction, shaping and reshaping our collective memory of Washington and slavery—along with our understanding of the nation. In Thy Will Be Done, historian John Garrison Marks tells the story of Americans' long, fraught struggle to come to terms with Washington's legacy of slavery. He traces how politicians, abolitionists, educators, activists, Washington's former slaves and their descendants, and others have remembered, forgotten, and manipulated slavery's place in Washington's story, and how they have wielded versions of that story in the political and cultural fights of their time. Marks shows how generational struggles over our collective memory of Washington and slavery have always been part of a bigger conversation about defining the United States and its people. As debates about the founders' participation in the system of slavery continue to roil public discourse, Marks shows with new clarity that Americans have never collectively reconciled Washington's conflicted legacy. By truly grappling with Washington's role as enslaver and emancipator, we may come to better understand the nation and ourselves."

The Common Uncommon: A Forest Journey

"From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the 'common uncommon' of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist."

Carlo Gambino: Boss of Bosses

"He was one of the four Mafia leaders who inspired Mario Puzo's The Godfather—and perhaps, next to Lucky Luciano, the most powerful Mob boss of them all. Born into a mafioso family in Sicily, Carlo Gambino came to America illegally as a stowaway in 1921. Jumping ship in Virginia, he joined his cousins in Brooklyn, and the Sicilian gangs that ruled the streets. By 1931, he was a soldier in Joe 'The Boss' Masseria's war with the Castellammarese clan, a bloody rivalry between Old World crime families that ended with the creation of the Five Families system by Luciano. Over the next three decades, Gambino rose higher in the ranks after a series of brutal Mob hits and executions. In 1957, following the murder of Albert 'Lord High Executioner' Anastasia, Gambino took over—becoming the biggest crime boss in America. This is the life and times of an underworld legend. Packed with shocking details and firsthand insights, Carlo Gambino: Boss of Bosses is the definitive account of this real-life Godfather, written by someone who grew up in that world and met Gambino personally. Author Frank DiMatteo's chilling recollections of his encounters with Gambino add a rare human dimension to one of the greatest crime sagas ever told. For better or worse, Gambino's story is the story of America, filled with ambition, fueled by greed, and riddled with bullets."

So Great Was the Slaughter: Market Hunters, Sportsmen, and Wildlife Conservation in Arkansas

"So Great Was the Slaughter reveals the untold story of Arkansas conservation pioneers who saved the state's game and fish populations. As Arkansas entered the twentieth century, the national demand for meat combined with the ability to ship millions of animals to hungry cities like New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago had driven many species, including bison and passenger pigeons, to extinction in Arkansas. Many others, including deer, bear, turkey, quail, and fish, were in danger of disappearing. In response, an unlikely coalition of Arkansas sportsmen, hunters, and conservationists created a vision for conservation legislation, game laws, and the establishment of fish hatcheries and wildlife refuges. With support from influential outsiders like E. A. McIlhenny and the United States Biological Survey, they waged a long battle against entrenched political and commercial interests. Buckley Foster's meticulous research reveals how these pioneers fought to save the state's wildlife resources from destruction and laid the foundations for sustainable, modern wildlife management in Arkansas. So Great Was the Slaughter will fascinate hunters, conservationists, historians, and those interested in the history of wildlife conservation and conflicts between market hunters and sportsmen in the United States and the American South."
