Be there for his first kiss, egg throwing, the great paint fight, the day he met his idol, Jesse Owens. Jump into the Mississippi River from the train bridge.

You'll be there the day Marilyn Monroe died and the times he helped change the ways America's does business. You'll also feel the tearing of skin from the belt buckle beating, the broken rib from being kicked with a steel-toed work boot and the pain of ears being ripped by powerful hands of an adult.

And yet through it all and with the help of his pals, he survives. This is a story of friendship involving five boys and one girl. It's a story about how this group became friends at an early age and remained friends for over fifty years. It's a story of conflict, trauma and escape. It's a story of love, respect, laughter, pranks and life. It's a success story. To an outsider the author's life may seem abominable. To him, it was normal. A "must read" for baby boomers.

Bhawani - Cult Goddess is the story of a young man called Piru, an Indian untouchable. He was born into a society that rejected untouchables except for their value as a "sweeper", a cleaner of floors, toilets, and latrines.

Paul David Nelson has written an exciting biography of an exciting figure—the military hero of the American Revolution and the Indian Wars in the Northwest Territory—"Mad" Anthony Wayne. Some of his contemporaries called him rash and impetuous, a braggart and a dandy. "More active and enterprising than judicious and cautious" was George Washington's verdict. True, Wayne had a flair for the dramatic and consciously acted the role of swashbuckler, but he proved himself one of the best and most successful military leaders of the early American republic. Despite his reputation for madness, Wayne, as Nelson points out, was a prudent and careful officer whose military record belies the myth. When he ran out of wars to fight, Wayne turned to the political arena. Nelson shows that the qualities which made Wayne a great military leader served him well in politics. He proved himself articulate and shrewd in statecraft in a critical time for the young republic, the years just after ratification of the Constitution.
