THE NAZI PARTY 1919–1945
by Dietrich Orlow
The only existing complete history of the Nazi Party from 1919, when Adolf Hitler took control of a small right-wing worker’s political association mostly made up of unemployed lower middle class veterans, to the giant political party known as the NSDAP that ruled Germany, intolerant of any competition from 1933 to 1945. Orlow’s book explains the mechanism and the methods, including the anti-Semitic pogroms such as Kristallnacht, which allowed the Nazis to seize and hold on to absolute power.

Hitler’s Gift to France
by Georges Poisson
Translated and with an introductory essay by Robert L. Miller
In the dead of the winter of 1940 Hitler decided to order the return the remains of Napoleon II, known as the “Aiglon,” the only son of the Emperor Napoleon from its burial crypt in Vienna to Paris. The gesture was intended to win the support of the French people, but only managed to precipitate a political crisis at Vichy where Marshal Pétain ordered the pro-German Deputy Prime Minister Pierre Laval arrested. Based on new research and previously unknown documents, the author, historian Georges Poisson, at last sheds light on an incident most historians—including Robert O. Paxton—have been at a loss to explain.

The Mafia and the Allies
by Ezio Costanzo
Translated by George Lawrence
Within weeks of the Pearl Harbor attack and the declaration of war on the United States by Germany and Italy, U.S. war plans included the defense of the East Coast and the invasion of Sicily. Ezio Costanzo examines the many elements of this secret scenario, which included long-suppressed information about cooperation between the Mafia and the U.S. Army. The results came in the aftermath of the invasion, during the new military government that gave many Mafia leaders important administrative positions. Seen from an Italian standpoint, the success of U.S. forces is examined in detail and many questions are finally answered.

The Kravchenko Case
by Gary Kern
Author of A Death in Washington
"This thoughtful and meticulously researched book is far more than a biography. It is also a wide-ranging study of Soviet-American relations, World War II, the Cold War, Western fellow-traveling, and the Western reception of defectors. Kern embeds Kravchenko's life in a thoroughly explored political and historical context."
Paul Hollander /The New Criterion
Based on the private, unpublished papers of Victor Kravchenko, never before available to researchers and historians; hundreds of FBI documents won after a six-year lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act; and extensive interviews with the defector's sons and associates, The Kravchenko Case tells the story of a man who broke away from the closed Soviet society, defected to America, and then waged a one-man war against Stalin’s dictatorial regime.
