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 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.

Nazi Palestine
by Klaus-Michael Mallmann and Martin Cüppers
“It is to the credit of the two authors of this book […] that they have been assiduous in locating information either inaccessible or overlooked earlier.” Gerhard L. Weinberg
The planned extermination of the Jews living in Palestine was only weeks away….
In 1941-42 Nazi Germany appeared to be invincible in North Africa many Arab nationalists looked to a leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, for guidance. The Mufti met with Adolf Hitler. Nazi Germany also pledged to wipe out the Jews who had been living in Palestine since time immemorial as well as the new arrivals from the beginning of the modern Zionist movement in the nineteenth century and following the Balfour Declaration in 1917. A special unit was assembled and trained in Greece in the spring of 1942 by SD officer Walter Rauff, the originator of the gassing van experiments in Poland and the Soviet Union. They were to operate behind the lines with the help of those in the region who were eager to join the task force. After El Alamein, the Einsatzkommando shifted its operations to Tunisia, where it implemented cruel anti-Jewish policies for many months.
Over 2,500 Tunisian Jews were to die in the camps set up by the Nazis and their collaborators.
The authors have identified the relevant documents and analyzed the racist, ideological, political and religious implications of the planning of a specific regional extermination program within the context of the Holocaust.

Code Name: “Kalistrat”
by Arno Baker
"An expertly informed treatment of the Rosenberg case, using fiction to fill in the shadowy places where our imagination wants to go."
-----Gary Kern
author of : A Death in Washington and The Kravchenko Case
With the confession of Morton Sobell in 2008 following the opening of the Grand Jury testimony preceding the trial for conspiracy “of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Morton Sobell and Anatoly Yakovelev,” it would appear that the famous case could at last be put to rest.
But that was not the final word.

American Police
by Thomas Reppetto
From its beginnings in eighteenth-century London, this is the history of the largest urban police departments in the United States and a social portrait of America during the first century of its existence. From the birth of the New York City Police Department in 1845 to the end of World War II each city had its share of crime, murders, vice, drug dealers and addicts.
Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles each had their own history and developed in different ways according to local realities. But in every case each police department had to deal with good and bad cops, Pinkertons, gangsters, revolutionists, politicians, reporters, muckrakers, arsonists, murderers, district attorneys, strikers, labor spies, hanging judges and axe-swinging crusaders as well as every conceivable element of American society high and low.
American Police also offers a view of the FBI and its legendary director, J. Edgar Hoover; District Attorney Earl Warren and police commissioners such as Teddy Roosevelt, Stephen J. O’Meara, Richard Enright, Grover Whalen, Louis J. Valentine, August Vollmer and tough cops like Captain William “Clubber” Williams and Johnny “the Boff” Broderick or John Cordes.
It is also the history of crime over the course of a century that transformed the United States from a former colony of the British Empire to a powerful and restless nation poised for spectacular growth.

Truman, MacArthur and the Korean War
by Dennis Wainstock
The crucial first year of the Korean War culminated in the dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur by the Commander-in-Chief, President Harry Truman. Never had a more dramatic clash taken place at the highest levels of American military power in full view of the press, the public and the enemy. It ended with the general being sacked by his chief a decision that signaled the decline of the Truman presidency and the decision not to run in 1952. The background to the crisis was the war in Korea, the confrontation with the USSR and Communist China at the height of the Cold War.

The Eichmann Trial Diary
by Sergio Minerbi
The trial that shocked the world described by an eyewitness reporter
In 1961, the trial of Adolf Eichmann suddenly revealed the shocking reality of the horrors of the Nazi Final Solution. The killing of the Jews during World War II was not yet widely known by its current name: the Holocaust or the Shoah. Journalists and writers were dispatched from all over the world to cover the trial. The philosopher Hannah Arendt was sent by the New Yorker and produced a controversial series of articles and a famous book entitled Eichmann in Jerusalem. Her work was both acclaimed and harshly criticized for its interpretation of those horrible events. At the same time, Sergio Minerbi, a young Israeli journalist of Italian origin who had emigrated to Palestine in 1947, was commissioned to cover the trial for Italian State Radio RAI. His work is both a daily chronicle of the court proceedings and a vivid description of the atmosphere surrounding the trial inside the courtroom and among the Israelis living in Jerusalem. It provides a vivid picture of those proceedings.

Working With Napoleon
by Baron Claude-François de Méneval / Translated by R.W. Sherrard / Edited by Robert L. Miller/ Introduction by J. David Markham
To be employed by a towering military and political figure such as Napoleon Bonaparte during most of his active life offers a privileged position to an astute and highly literate observer. Besides being a scrupulous and efficient secretary and note taker, Méneval was also himself a man of letters and his writing style, clear and unadorned but highly cultured, offers a precise and satisfying account of history in the making during a most fascinating era. Baron Claude François Méneval, served as Napoleon’s private secretary from 1802 to 1813 and was attached to the Empress until 1815. Secretaries are by their very nature close to the person for whom they work, and Méneval was no exception. Moreover, unlike the case of numerous other similar works, there is no question that Méneval actually wrote his memoirs.

Hunting Down the Jews
by Isaac Levendel and Bernard Weisz
A Major Study of the Holocaust Research for this study took place from 2005 to 2010 and is rooted in a personal tragedy: Sarah Lewendel, a Jewish woman originally from Poland, was arrested and disappeared on June 6, 1944, D-Day into the vortex of the Nazi extermination machine. She left a small boy behind who has lived with this wrenching tragedy since that fateful day over 68 years ago. In an effort to discover the truth of what happened to his mother, the author has carefully reconstructed the entire history and the mechanism of the Holocaust in Provence, the region around Marseille, in the department of Vaucluse and its main city, Avignon.
