In August 1942, more than 7,000 Allied troops rushed the beaches of Normandy, France, in an all but-forgotten landing. Only a small fraction survived unscathed. It was two summers before D-Day, and the Allies realized that they were in dire need of underwater intelligence if they wanted to stand a chance of launching another beach invasion and of winning the war. Led by the controversial biologists J. B. S. Haldane and Dr. Helen Spurway, an ingenious team of ragtag scientists worked out of homemade labs during the London Blitz. Beneath a rain of bombs, they pioneered thrilling advances in underwater reconnaissance through tests done on themselves in painful and potentially fatal experiments. Their discoveries led to the safe use of miniature submarines and… Ler mais

Lanham tells a gripping story, but what really makes the book is its full, detailed workings of the oil fields, as glamorous and swashbuckling a tale as any of the older frontiers. The time is the 1930's -- it is an obviously authentic account of modern oil rushes, down in Texas, of one village and particularly of Cobb Walters, farmer's son, and the effects on both Cobb and the village when oil is struck. Cobb, likable and a dynamo of energy, bites off more than he can chew, and the drama works up to a crescendo, a murder, an acquittal. The material is fascinating, the characters are well done -- it's a full canvas, a corking good story and first rate Americana. Some ultra-conservatives may balk at the inevitable iniquity and corruption,… Ler mais

When the Royal Family took to the balcony of Buckingham Palace on VE Day in 1945, they knew that the happiness and excitement of the day was illusory. Britain may have been victorious in a painful war, but the peace would be no easier. Between the abdication crisis, the death of King George VI, and the ascension of young Elizabeth II to the throne, the continued existence of the monarchy seemed uncertain. And the presence of the former Edward VIII, now the Duke of Windsor, conniving and sniping from the sidelines in an attempt to regain relevance, even down to writing a controversial and revelatory memoir, could only make matters worse. Still, the question of whether or not Elizabeth could succeed and make the monarchy something that once again inspired… Ler mais
