Battleship Bismarck
by Burkard, Freiherr Von Mullenheim-Rechberg
'One of the most significant examples of Britlain's sea power was the chase and final destruction of the most powerful warship in the world, the Bismarck. We cheered when she went down, a tremendous threat had been removed. But some of us, sometimes, thought about the other side of the story. Thanks to Baron von Mullenheim-Rechberg, one of her pitifully few survivors, we now know how it felt aboard the Bismarck. This book leaves nothing to the imagination.' Edward L. Beach
Vincent Price
by Victoria Price
Yet Vincent Price the man was hardly the ghoul he often portrayed. In this elegant biography-cum-memoir, Victoria Price--his daughter, and later friend and helpmate--reveals a man both complex and human. An actor for range, he starred in both the film noir milestone Laura and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. A strong anti-Fascist, he was blacklisted during the Red Scare of the '50s--until, in a desperate gesture, he signed a secret oath that saved his career. And his passion for the arts gave him a second life as an erudite columnist and collector, even as his films graced drive- ins nationwide. Victoria Price's biography of her father is full and candid; his marriages, sexuality, and family life are treated with curiosity and understanding.
My Life
by Bill Clinton
President Bill Clinton’s My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals. Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions. Filled with fascinating moments and insights, it is told openly, directly, in President Clinton’s own completely recognizable voice.
Under The Loving Care Of The Fatherly Leader
by BRADLEY MARTIN
A dual portrait of Orwellian leaders Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il traces events from the end of World War II to the present, cites North Korea's stockpile of chemical weapons, describes Kim Il-Sung's numerous leadership roles, and warns readers about the threat posed by North Korea to American security.
The Winds of Havoc
by Adelino Serras Pires
When eight-year-old Adelino Serras Pires first arrived on a boat from Portugal in 1936, Mozambique seemed to be something out of a dream: It was a tropical paradise, where native tribes and Portuguese colonists lived in harmony, and the vast jungles, teeming with wildlife, held the promise of endless excitement. A few months into Adelino's new life, his father took him along on a successful hunt for man-eating lions that had been terrorizing the countryside. From that point on, Adelino's destiny was sealed: He would spend his days in the African bush, hunting for a living, and living for adventure. After a childhood wrought with thrilling episodes, Adelino became a primary safari organizer in Mozambique, with a client list comprised of African royalty, European dignitaries, and wealthy Americans alike. At the same time, the Uhuru movement took hold of Africa, fueled from the outside. Tribes across the continent began to rebel against European control. In Mozambique, the Frelimo party, bent on ousting the Portuguese colonists, launched guerilla attacks throughout the land. Such attacks resulted in the violent death and injuries of several safari clients, and soon Adelino was forced to pack up his operations. What follows is a frightening look at a continent under siege. As Adelino moved from one country to the next - Angola, Rhodesia, the Central African Republic, Kenya, Sudan, Zaire, and Tanzania -- each time resuming his life's ambition, while desperately struggling to remain uninvolved in each new conflict, he repeatedly witnessed the violence and horror of civil war. Like a hunter stalking its prey, it was only a matter of time before the forces of revolution brought him down, too. That day came when Adelino, his son, his nephew, and a fellow hunter were abducted in Tanzania, and turned over to the secret police in now-Frelimo-controlled Mozambique. In hair-raising detail, Adelino recounts months of torture and interrogation in a Mozambican prison that almost cost him his life, and the traitorous circumstances that landed him there. The Winds of Havoc is the story of Adelino's steady disillusionment, as the beauty of Africa slowly gave way to political turmoil and corruption. But more than that, it's a moving portrait of a life and time that is now gone forever.

Ultimately, Jones and SEA DART appear as the honored guests of an Explorers Club dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria, then go on to sail triumphantly for three days through the streets of New York. --This text refers to the Paperback edition..
