The Naked and the Dead
by Norman Mailer
Hailed as one of the finest novels to come out of the Second World War, The Naked and the Dead received unprecedented critical acclaim upon its publication and has since enjoyed a long and well-deserved tenure in the American canon. This fiftieth anniversary edition features a new introduction created especially for the occasion by Norman Mailer. Written in fascinating detail, the story follows a platoon of foot soldiers who are fighting for the possession of the Japanese-held island of Anopopei. Composed in 1948 with the wisdom of a man twice Mailer's age and the raw courage of the young man he was, The Naked and the Dead is representative of the best in twentieth-century American writing.
Blood and Honor
by W. E. B. Griffin
The characters introduced in the best-selling Honor Bound--Marine aviator Cletus Frade, Army demolitions expert Anthony Pelosi, and communications genius David Ettinger--encounter intrigue in Buenos Aires in April 1943.
While England Sleeps
by David Leavitt
Leavitt has earned high praise for his empathetic portrayal of human sexuality and the complexities of intimate relationships. In While England Sleeps, available for the first time in two years, he moves beyond precisely contr olled domestic drama to create a historical novel, set against the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe, that tells a story of love and the violent chaos of war.
Dark Voyage
by Alan Furst
“In the first nineteen months of European war, from September 1939 to March of 1941, the island nation of Britain and her allies lost, to U-boat, air, and sea attack, to mines and maritime disaster, one thousand five hundred and ninety-six merchant vessels. It was the job of the Intelligence Division of the Royal Navy to stop it, and so, on the last day of April 1941 . . .” May 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter steams up the Tagus River to dock at the port of Lisbon. She is the Santa Rosa , she flies the flag of neutral Spain and is in Lisbon to load cork oak, tinned sardines, and drums of cooking oil bound for the Baltic port of Malmö. But she is not the Santa Rosa . She is the Noordendam , a Dutch freighter. Under the command of Captain Eric DeHaan, she sails for the Intelligence Division of the British Royal Navy, and she will load detection equipment for a clandestine operation on the Swedish coast–a secret mission, a dark voyage. A desperate voyage . One more battle in the spy wars that rage through the back alleys of the ports, from elegant hotels to abandoned piers, in lonely desert outposts, and in the souks and cafés of North Africa. A battle for survival, as the merchant ships die at sea and Britain–the last opposition to Nazi German–slowly begins to starve. A voyage of flight , a voyage of fugitives–for every soul aboard the Noordendam . The Polish engineer, the Greek stowaway, the Jewish medical officer, the British spy, the Spaniards who fought Franco, the Germans who fought Hitler, the Dutch crew itself. There is no place for them in occupied France; they cannot go home. From Alan Furst–whom The New York Times calls America’s preeminent spy novelist–here is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible odds. Dark Voyage is taut with suspense and pounding with battle scenes; it is authentic, powerful, and brilliant.

The Russian breakthrough on the Eastern Front is at hand. To the West the Allied Forces are preparing to invade France on the beaches of Normandy. Within the German force itself a conspiracy has emerged that would depose Hitler and surrender the Wehmacht to the Allies in hopes of saving Germany from the cataclysm that now appears inevitable. Enter Major Tim Loftis, a young American geologist by profession before World War II broke out. He is now in England working with Allied Intelligence on a selection of beach landing sites for the D-Day invasion when a mystifying series of coded messages are picked up from the radios of the French Resistance. When the code, to be dubbed "the Solstice Cipher" is ultimately cracked, the messages are electrifying. The threat of a conspiracy from high-up in the Welmacht does not go undetected by Hitler's SS and Gestapo agents. Nor do the coded messages being beamed to the coast of France, get by Field Marshal Rommel, who Hitler has placed in command of the Atlantic Wall. On the eve of D-Day, it is Tim Loftis who is parachuted onto a storm shrouded Normandy beach to seek a fateful rendezvous that could end the war, just as the invasion of France begins. Professor Bruce Hatton Boyer, PhD, has had a broadly sweeping life in careers as a professor, author, playwright, and actor, amongst others. This was his debut novel.
