 stock image, actual book may vary MORE THAN HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD The classic adventure story that inspired the new major motion picture The Way Back, directed by Peter Weir I hope The Long Walk will remain as a memorial to all those who live and die for freedom, and for all those who for many reasons could not speak for themselves. Slavomir Rawicz The Long Walk is a book that I absolutely could not put down and one that I will never forget..."-- Stephen Ambrose "A poet with steel in his soul."-- New York Times Chicago Tribune Los Angeles Times The Long Walk must be read and reread, and passed along to friends. National Geographic Adventure The Vancouver Sun It's not just some Polish bloke who wanted to get home. It's about how we all struggle on every day. Somehow or other we find a reason to keep on going and it's the same here but on an epic scale".-- Benedict Allen , explorer and bestselling author of Into the Abyss and Edge of Blue Heaven In 1941, the author and six fellow prisoners of war escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds, and untreated illnesses, and avoiding daily executions were everyday feats. Their march over thousands of miles by foot out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about man s desire to be free. Written in a hauntingly detailed, no-holds-barred way, the book inspired the Peter Wier film The Way Back, due for release in late 2010. Previous editions have sold hundreds of thousands of copies; this edition includes an afterword written by the author shortly before his death, as well as the author's introduction to the book's Polish edition. Guaranteed to forever stay in the reader's mind, The Long Walk will remain a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and the universal desire for freedom and dignity. Six-time Academy Award nominee Peter Weir Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and The Dead Poets Society recently directed The Way Back, a much-anticipated film based on The Long Walk. Starring Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, it is due for release in late 2010.

 stock image, actual book may vary The story of one of the most decisive Allied victories of World War II Clear and concise, this account of the dramatic days at the end of 1944 is supported by a timeline of events and orders of battle. In December 1944 the German military made their final attempt to end World War II by throwing in all their reserves in a desperate effort to shatter the Allied lines. After breaking through the American-held sector in the Ardennes, two Panzer armies headed for the bridges over the River Meuse. However, a combination of poor planning, bad weather, torturous terrain, and above all, the determined defense of such key towns and villages as Bastogne and St. Vith, delayed the advance. The Allies were able to hold the northern and southern shoulders of the attack, hemming the Germans in. The Bulge had been created, and as the fortunes of battle were reversed, the Allies struck back.

 stock image, actual book may vary The fall of Communism provided access to Russian archives never before available to the international community, making it possible to find and question many of those who experienced the war of the century. Laurence Rees, author and producer of the Peabody Award winning The Nazis: A Warning from History , uses previously unpublished material and photographs, dramatic interviews with witnesses who knew Hitler or Stalin, and the voices of soldiers and civilians on the Eastern Front to shed new light on Hitler s war of annihilation. A fierce ideological clash as well as a military one, Hitler s invasion of Russia played a major part in determining the outcome of World War II and shaped the political landscape of Europe in the Cold War which lasted for the next forty-five years. War of the Century focuses on key events and policies such as Hitler s decision to invade the Soviet Union, the legendary and horrific siege of Stalingrad, the Germans barbaric treatment of Soviet civilians and Red Army prisoners of war, and Stalin s paranoid revenge against real and perceived enemies. With this new evidence, Rees explores the truth behind the war, its ruthless leaders and devastating effects on the military and civilian populations of both sides.

 stock image, actual book may vary Bestselling author Richard Reeves provides an authoritative account of the internment of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese aliens during World War II Less than three months after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and inflamed the nation, President Roosevelt signed an executive order declaring parts of four western states to be a war zone operating under military rule. The U.S. Army immediately began rounding up thousands of Japanese-Americans, sometimes giving them less than 24 hours to vacate their houses and farms. For the rest of the war, these victims of war hysteria were imprisoned in primitive camps. In Infamy , the story of this appalling chapter in American history is told more powerfully than ever before. Acclaimed historian Richard Reeves has interviewed survivors, read numerous private letters and memoirs, and combed through archives to deliver a sweeping narrative of this atrocity. Men we usually consider heroes-FDR, Earl Warren, Edward R. Murrow-were in this case villains, but we also learn of many Americans who took great risks to defend the rights of the internees. Most especially, we hear the poignant stories of those who spent years in "war relocation camps," many of whom suffered this terrible injustice with remarkable grace. Racism, greed, xenophobia, and a thirst for revenge: a dark strand in the American character underlies this story of one of the most shameful episodes in our history. But by recovering the past, Infamy has given voice to those who ultimately helped the nation better understand the true meaning of patriotism.

 stock image, actual book may vary The SS short for the German Schutzstaffeln was a far-flung organization, of which the Gestapo was only one branch, that served as the tyrannical expression of Nazi bureaucracy, a politics of terror. Germans in high places still use the SS as a standard excuse for the acts of murder, extortion, and genocide that were facts of daily life under the Nazis. Reitlinger explores the complex social machinery that allowed the SS to operate the administration and internal rivalries, the SS field divisions, German military intelligence, and the organization of the concentration and death camps. He shows how the SS was embedded in the basic government of the country during those years and how its members were not so much lunatic killers as loyal citizens doing the bidding of a country that had gone insane. Powerful, objective, and based on original German documents and interviews including information from Himmler s statistician this book rejects the SS as an alibi for a nation s responsibility in the most far-reaching racial massacre in histo

 stock image, actual book may vary In Masters of Death , Rhodes gives full weight, for the first time, to the Einsatzgruppen s role in the Holocaust. These special task forces, organized by Heinrich Himmler to follow the German army as it advanced into eastern Poland and Russia, were the agents of the first phase of the Final Solution. They murdered more than 1.5 million men, women, and children between 1941 and 1943, often by shooting them into killing pits, as at Babi Yar. These massive crimes have been generally overlooked or underestimated by Holocaust historians, who have focused on the gas chambers. In this painstaking account, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes profiles the eastern campaign s architects as well as its ordinary soldiers and policemen, and helps us understand how such men were conditioned to carry out mass murder. Marshaling a vast array of documents and the testimony of perpetrators and survivors, this book is an essential contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust and W

 stock image, actual book may vary Far-reaching in form and content, Mordecai Richler's collection of World War II writings offers a stunning portrait of the central cataclysm of our cataclysmic century. In it, 140 authors from around the world document the war they witnessed, fought and sometimes lost their lives in. Here are William Shirer's stunned observations of Berlin as Germany announced its 1939 invasion of Poland and John Hersey's classic account of the dropping of the first atomic bomb six years later; Elie Wiesel's arrival at a place the world will never forget and kamikaze pilots' last letters home; William Manchester's recollection of boot camp and Genet's portrayal of Paris' liberation celebrations; and excerpts from the acclaimed wartime fictions of James Jones, Norman Mailer, Jean-Paul Sartre, and G nter Grass. And so it is with unmistakable immediacy of the human voice that Writers on World War II conveys the enormities of those six convulsive years -- the sheer scope of their terror, cruelty, and waste -- and the courage of those who endured them.
