Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. June, 1941. Determined that the United States will be prepared for war, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Wild Bill Donovan orchestrate the most complex espionage organization in history, the Office of Strategic Services. Young and daring, the OS assemble under a thin camouflage of diplomacy and then disperse throughout the world to conduct their operations. And no operation is more critical than the one being conducted by hotshot pilot Richard Canidy and his half-German friend Eric Fulmar: to secure the rare ore that will power a top-secret weapon coveted on both sides of the Atlantic--the atomic bomb.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. W.E.B. Griffin's iconoclastic OS heroes face an historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the New York Times-bestselling series. Critics and fans alike welcomed the return of the shrewd, sharp, rousing (Kirkus Reviews) Men at War series: The Saboteurs is good entertainment and the fast-paced and exciting novel Griffin's readers have come to expect. This is Griffin's 36th novel and his son's first; one wonders how prolific a force Griffin & Son will be (Library Journal) Now, Dick Canidy and colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services face an even greater task--to convince Hitler and the Axis powers that the invasion of the European continent will take place anywhere but on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. Wild Bill Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must use are not the most reliable--are, in fact, most likely spying for both sides - so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue, and all it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OS agents up to it? They certainly think so. And then the body is found floating off the coast of Spain. . . . Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin's books so outstanding, The Double Agents is irresistible storyteller from a master of the craft.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. W.E. B. Griffin returns to his Honor Bound series set in the shadows of World War I espionage in South America. May 1945: Just weeks after Hitler's suicide, Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services are fighting several new and deadly battles. The first is political--with every department from Treasury to War to the FBI grabbing for OS covert agents and assets. The second is military--with the OS having smuggled Germans into Argentina for years because of their knowledge of Soviet KGB agents in America's atomic bomb program. The third concerns what might be the next world war against Red Joe Stalin and his voracious ambitions. To get an early advantage, Frade has been conducting a secret and daring operation against the Communists. But to do it undetected, he and his men must walk a perilously dark line. Because all it takes is one slip--and everyone becomes a casualty of war. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The dramatic new novel in the Philadelphia police saga by #1 New York Times - bestselling author. In Philadelphia - already suffering among the country's highest murder rates - homicide is at an all-time high. With each violent crime, tension builds between the police department, the mayor's office, and the Citizens Police Oversight Committee. The most vocal activist, reformed drug dealer Reverend Josiah Cross, places the blame, and with it, a target, squarely on the back of twenty-seven-year-old Homicide Sergeant Matt Payne. Now Payne must navigate death threats and misdirected public outrage to follow a strange pattern in seemingly unrelated killings. As chanting protesters fill the streets, the city threatens to erupt. Payne has gone from 'Wyatt Earp of the Main Line' to 'Public Enemy Number One.' Ordered to stay out of the line of fire, he struggles to solve the murder of a reporter who was just as unwilling as Payne himself to let death threats keep him from his job. As Sergeant Payne looks for justice, Pulitzer Prize - winning journalist Mickey O'Hara looks to finish the story where his fellow reporter left off. Both men know that they cannot back down, though this may be the end of their reputations, their work, and even their lives. Filled with authentic color and detail, this is a riveting novel of the men and women who put their lives on the line, from the cop on the beat to the commissioner himself. It's a story of fears and dangers, courage and loyalty, genuine heroism and love - storytelling at its absolute best. 'Griffin is one of those writers who sets his novel before you in short, fierce, stop-for-nothing scenes. Before you know it, you've gobbled it up. The Philadelphia Inquirer 'A writer of true virtuosity and talent . . . Like precious few others in the book marketplace, W. E. B. Griffin delivers as advertised.' Fort Worth Star-Telegram.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. If coincidence had thrown these men together in any normal military organization, and if, improbably, they had become buddies there, any commanding officer with enough sense would have broken up the gang as threats to good military order and discipline. But they werent in any normal military organization. They were in the Office of Strategic Services. The Battle of the Atlantic is at its peak. Packs of German U-boats are hunting and sinking U.S. supply ships. Ships are burning at their moorings in U.S. ports, and a series of explosions has afflicted trains and train stations around the country - is it all accidental or is it sabotage? Meanwhile, Allied forces are secretly preparing to invade first Sicily and then Italy, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done beforehand, some with the most unlikely of helping hands. As the war heats up, Wild Bill Donovans agents - Dick Canidy, Eric Fulmar, Stan Fine, and the rest of the crew, answerable only to Donovan and the president - suddenly find themselves battling on two fronts at once . . . and fate is just about to deal them a few surprises.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The former Presidential Agent's Office of Organizational Analysis has been disbanded. Charley Castillo and his colleagues have retired, and the sudden death of the President has brought an adversarial Commander-in-Chief into the Oval Office. But just because Castillo is out of the government doesn't mean he's out of business. He still has the skills and the manpower to do what others can't or won't do. And his first job is a real killer. A barrel filled with some nightmarishly lethal biohazard material has been shipped to an Army medical lab--material that Castillo and his men were supposed to have destroyed on a mission. Clearly, the message is that more of the deadly material remains. But who has it? And what do they want? With lives at stake--including his own--Castillo knows that he's not going to like the answers one damn bit.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. Herein lie buried many things which if read with patience may show the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the Twentieth Century. More than one hundred years after its first publication in 1903, The Souls of Black Folk remains possibly the most important book ever penned by a black American. This collection of previously published essays and one short story, on topics varying from history to sociology to music to religion, expounds on the African American condition and life behind the Veil, the world outside of the white experience in America. This important collection holds a mirror up to the face of black America, revealing its complete form, slavery, Jim Crow, and all. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Arnold Rampersad, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.…
