In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect, by Ronald Kessler |
 Horse Soldiers is the dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who secretly entered Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode to war on horses against the Taliban. Outnumbered forty to one, they pursued the enemy across mountainous terrain and, after a series of intense battles, captured the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, which was strategically essential if they were to defeat the Taliban. |

Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, by Al Gore |
|
|
Al Gore tells it as he sees it. It is our choice - will we make the tough decisions to save our planet? He explores the choices and convinces us to act.
|
What are our obligations to others? Is it ever right to lie, steal, or harm another person? All of us have answers to these questions, most driven by instinct. But have we ever pursued where these instincts come from, the implications of our answers in one setting to another? Michael J. Sandel brings his famous Harvard course between to the written page, tracing the constructs of justice from Aristotle to Bentham and Mill, to Kant and Rawls.
Named best book of the year by many reviewers, this is the authoritative history of the Hemingses. It tells the remarkable story of the family's origins, carrying the story generations beyond Sally and Thomas Jefferson. A rewarding investment. Most readable.
The award winning biography of Theodore Roosevelt. Brinkley has written a tome, which if you choose to indulge, rewards a hundred times over. You find the essence of the man who really believed America belonged to the people.
The data don't lie, and often they can help us understand human behavior. In this sequel to Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner tell us more about what we should be doing.
