Den of Spies - Craig Unger
Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in elections goes unpunishedIn April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter’s largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan’s campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan’s victory.Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Now Unger finally reveals ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Craig Inciardi
The Indiana Jones of rock history and founding curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum narrates his quest to build the Rock Hall’s collection from scratch—a wild ride that would take him from Ozzy Osbourne's lavish country manor to Keith Moon’s childhood bedroom and Art Garfunkel’s personal archives, including never-revealed stories about icons such as Debbie Harry, Mick Jagger, Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and more Craig Inciardi was a rising star at Sotheby’s, collecting iconic pieces of rock and roll memorabilia and rubbing shoulders with rich and famous collectors when he was recruited by the founders of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum for his dream job. Craig’s mandate: Travel the world and assemble the world’s greatest collection of rock memorabilia ever. What Craig didn’t know at the time was that there was no “museum.” In fact, no existing collection other than “a guitar of no importance and three interesting sheets of paper.” So began an epic rock odyssey, with Craig as popular music’s Indiana Jones.

The Battle of Midway - Craig L. Symonds
There are few moments in American history in which the course of events tipped so suddenly and so dramatically as at the Battle of Midway. At dawn of June 4, 1942, a rampaging Japanese navy ruled the Pacific. By sunset, their vaunted carrier force (the Kido Butai) had been sunk and their grip on the Pacific had been loosened forever. In this riveting account of a key moment in the history of World War II, one of America''s leading naval historians, Craig L. Symonds, paints an unforgettable portrait of ingenuity, courage, and sacrifice. Symonds begins with the arrival of Admiral Chester A. Nimitz at Pearl Harbor after the devastating Japanese attack, and describes the key events leading to the climactic battle, including both Coral Sea--the first battle in history against opposing carrier forces--and Jimmy Doolittle''s daring raid of Tokyo. He focuses throughout on the people involved, offering telling portraits of Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance and numerous other Americans, as well as the leading Japanese figures, including the poker-loving Admiral Yamamoto. Indeed, Symonds sheds much light on the aspects of Japanese culture--such as their single-minded devotion to combat, which led to poorly armored planes and inadequate fire-safety measures on their ships--that ...

Ages of Anxiety - Craig E. Stephenson
Craig E. Stephenson’s Ages of Anxiety examines how W. H. Auden in his Pulitzer Prize winning poem, The Age of Anxiety, used C. G. Jung’s psychological types to structure and explore his responses to war and the rise of fascism.This newly revised edition of Stephenson’s 2015 Zürich Lecture Series tracks Auden’s notion of the poet’s responsibilities and of the importance of the symbolic life in a time of conflict. The book tracks how Auden’s poem inspired Leonard Bernstein’s second symphony and how three choreographers (Jerome Robbins, John Neumeier, Liam Scarlett) created dances set to this work, with Jung’s psychology running through all these creative extrapolations like a common thread. In this expanded edition, Stephenson considers how the contemporary essayists Scott Stossel and Roberto Calasso employ Auden’s poem as touchstones for their own explorations of the meaning of anxiety in our time.Ages of Anxiety will be of interest to analytical psychologists, literary historians, performing arts historians, mental health practitioners, as well as the common reader.

Toba Caldera: The Eye of Sumatra - Craig A. Chesner
Toba, the name of a simple farmer from an ancient legend in a remote land, was given to a lake, a people, a volcanic crater, and recently a Geopark. The name has many meanings, but to scientists such as volcanologists, geologists, and naturalists, Toba is synonymous with the greatest volcanic cataclysm in human history. This monograph highlights the geologic events leading up to and following the super-eruption that occurred just 74,000 years ago and created Danau (Lake) Toba, the hidden gem of northern Sumatra. Volcanologist Dr. Craig Chesner uses his vast knowledge of Toba to take you on an illustration-packed journey to this geological wonder. Designed for the curious visitor to the Toba Caldera Geopark and the student of volcanology alike, this overview provides a concise account of the dynamic processes that have made Toba the focus of scientific research for over 125 years. The connections between the forces of nature to the stunning landscape and its peoples are continually on display as this narrative addresses almost every aspect of Toba’s geologic origin and evolution, while encouraging global citizens to appreciate its unique status in Earth’s history and explore its many secrets.

The elderly victim’s identity has been cleverly obscured but one thing is clear: she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two.To find answers in the present, police inspector Inès Picaut must look to the past; to 1940s France, a time of sworn allegiances and broken promises, where the men and women of the Resistance fought for survival against Nazi invaders.But, as Picaut soon discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on the past remaining buried, and who will kill to keep their secrets safe.

Church of Spies - Mark Riebling
The heart-pounding history of how Pope Pius XII -- often labeled "Hitler''s Pope" -- was in fact an anti-Nazi spymaster, plotting against the Third Reich during World War II. The Vatican''s silence in the face of Nazi atrocities remains one of the great controversies of our time. History has accused wartime pontiff Pius the Twelfth of complicity in the Holocaust and dubbed him "Hitler''s Pope." But a key part of the story has remained untold. Pope Pius in fact ran the world''s largest church, smallest state, and oldest spy service. Saintly but secretive, he sent birthday cards to Hitler -- while secretly plotting to kill him. He skimmed from church charities to pay covert couriers, and surreptitiously tape-recorded his meetings with top Nazis. Under his leadership the Vatican spy ring actively plotted against the Third Reich. Told with heart-pounding suspense and drawing on secret transcripts and unsealed files by an acclaimed author, Church of Spies throws open the Vatican''s doors to reveal some of the most astonishing events in the history of the papacy. Riebling reveals here how the world''s greatest moral institution met the greatest moral crisis in history.

Spies Who Changed History - Nigel West
Spies have made an extraordinary impact on the history of the 20th Century, but fourteen in particular can be said to have been demonstrably important. As one might expect, few are household names, and it is only with the benefit of recently declassified files that we can now fully appreciate the nature of their contribution.The criteria for selection have been the degree to which each can now be seen to have had a very definite influence on a specific course of events, either directly, by passing vital classified material, or indirectly, by organizing or managing a group of spies. Those selected were active in the First World War, the inter-war period, the Second World War, the Cold War and even the post-Cold War era.These include Walther Dewé who formed a spy ring in German-occupied Belgium during the First World War. This train-watching network, known as ‘White Lady’, reported on German troop deployments and possible weaknesses in the German defenses. Extending its operations into northern France, the ring provided 75 per cent of the information received by GHQ, British Expeditionary Force. By the time of the Armistice in 1918, Dewé’s group had a staggering 1,300 members.Olga Gray, the 27-year-old daughter of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
