Daniel Yergin, 2009

The struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the world economy, dictate the outcome of wars, and transform the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous — from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement — and great importance. Подробнее

Chris Bohjalian, 2009

In January 1945, in the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin the longest journey of their lives: an attempt to cross the remnants of the Third Reich to reach the British and American lines. Among the group is 18-year-old Anna Emmerich, the daughter of Prussian aristocrats. There is her lover, Callum Finnella, a young Scottish prisoner of war who has been brought from the stalag to her family's farm as forced labour. And there is the intriguing Wehrmacht corporal whom the pair know as Manfred — who is, in reality, Uri Singer, a Jew from Germany who managed a daring escape from a train bound for Auschwitz. As they work their way west, they encounter a countryside ravaged by war. Their flight will test both Anna's and Callum's love, as well as their friendship with Manfred — assuming any of them even survive.

All Hands Down: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS Scorpion

Kenneth Sewell, 2009

When renowned ocean explorer Bob Ballard embarked on a highly-publicized search for the Titanic in 1985, it was just a convenient cover story. Ballard, acting on behalf of the U.S. Navy, made several deep sea dives not to find the doomed ocean liner, but to inspect the wreck of the USS Scorpion, a nuclear sub that mysteriously sank in May 1968. Ballard's actual mission: to determine if, instead of sinking as a result of mechanical problems, the sub was actually struck by a Soviet torpedo at the height of the Cold War. In ALL HANDS DOWN: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS Scorpion (Simon & Schuster; April 15, 2008), authors Kenneth Sewell and Jerome Preisler follow the submarine's fateful last tour of duty and reveal what actually happened to the sub and the ninety-nine members of its crew. Sewell, a nuclear engineer and a U.S. Navy veteran who served on a submarine for five years, uses his extensive knowledge of these stealthy submersibles to take readers onboard the USS Scorpion. Combined with the independent research and story-telling flair of Tom Clancy collaborator Jerome Preisler, the result is both compelling and authoritative. Подробнее
