Munich, 1950, occupied West Germany; Horst Vogle is quietly working to reassemble the city museum's art collection. Aspiring pianist, Greta Furster, introduces him to a group of ambitious war veterans seeking to restore German pride and help refugees fleeing the Communist East. Vogle learns that they are using Nazi gold to fund Egyptian weapons intended to be used against Israel. Vogle has his own secret. He is Jan Goldberg, one-time Jewish Partisan and soldier in the Israeli War of Independence, now an Israeli assassin, targeting Nazi fugitives. To Goldberg, recovering gold taken from Jewish victims is a way of gaining retribution for the Holocaust and as his bond to Greta intensifies, his mission and identity are tested. This fact-based thriller is a must-read for fans of John Le Carr and Alan Furst. It's an intriguing take on the Nazi legacy in Post War Germany and an exploration of the polarities of revenge and reconciliation, the limitations of ideology, and the power of love.

Social trends move quickly, and in the age of globalization they also move geographically. Many of these trends are having such a negative impact on culture and society, that to describe them as "terminal" is not hyperbole. Everything from business ethics to pollution to crime to chaotic religious influences are being affected by these trends. This book will give you a broad appreciation for the challenges facing our collective futures, more so than any other source concerning these matters, due to this work's deep exploration of the topics presented and its considerable documentation. Written in plain English, author Sheldon Miller shares his keen insight in a way that will speak to anyone with a concern for our world's future.

The Forgotten Legacy of Stella Walsh

The Forgotten Legacy of Stella Walsh

Sheldon Anderson

Stella Walsh, who was born in Poland but raised in the United States, competed for Poland at the 1932 and 1936 Olympics, winning gold and silver in the 100 meters. Running and jumping competitively for three decades, Walsh also won more than 40 U.S. national championships and set dozens of world records. In 1975, she was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, yet Stella Walsh’s impressive accomplishments have been almost entirely ignored. In The Forgotten Legacy of Stella Walsh: The Greatest Female Athlete of Her Time, Sheldon Anderson tells the story of her remarkable life. A pioneer in women’s sports, Walsh was one of the first globetrotting athletes, running in meets all over North America, Europe, and Asia. While her accomplishments are undeniable, Walsh’s legacy was called into question after her murder in 1980. Walsh’s autopsy revealed she had ambiguous genitalia, which prompted many to demand that her awards be rescinded. In addition to telling her fascinating story, The Forgotten Legacy of Stella Walsh provides a close look at the early days of women’s track and field. This book also examines the complicated and controversial question of sex and gender identity in athletics—an issue very much in the news today. Featuring numerous photographs that help bring to life Walsh’s story and the times in which she lived, this biography will interest and inform historians of sport and women’s studies, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about a Polish immigrant who was once the fastest woman alive.

C. S. Lewis was their mentor and friend. When tragedy struck, he became their guide and a comforter of piercing insight and compassion. His letters are carefully preserved and reproduced in this moving account of the extraordinary love between Sheldon Vanauken and Jean Davis. This beautiful tale bears witness not only to the relationship between Van and Davy, but to the understanding which grew between two men who both had to suffer the severe pain of loss.
