Lero's Mission is another example of the principle that you never know what is just around the corner, or, in this case, who is sitting behind you just out of sight. Lero is his nomme de guerre and we follow him through a mission he is called to participate in after he has retired from the Air Force and settled down to work as an airframe and power-plant mechanic in western Pennsylvania.True to the procedures of Special Operations, we never find out the real names of several of the people involved in the Mission, but we get to know them pretty well and feel the synergy as they work together on a delicate and dangerous mission.As contractors to a large western democracy, Lero and his crew undertake a mission that is full of danger. It involves a long over-water flight, with multiple aerial refuelings, but that is only the beginning. The special smart bombs aboard are destined for precise targets deep inside a country that has threatened to wipe another country off of the map. Their underground nuclear facilities are the targets of Lero and his crew. Ride along in the jump seat, but pull your seat belt tight.
John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ruled the United Mine Workers for four decades beginning in 1919, defied presidents, challenged Congress, and kept American political life in an uproar. Drawing upon previously untapped resources in the UMW archives and upon oral histories by major figures of the 1930s and 1940s, the authors have created a remarkable portrait of this 'self-made man' and his times.
The "Great John L." reigned supreme as world heavyweight champion from his victory over Paddy Ryan in 1882 until James J. Corbett knocked him out in 1892. A drunkard, a wastrel, an adulterer, a wife beater, and a bully, Sullivan still became American's first national sports hero and represented the hopes and aspirations of millions of people. Michael Isenberg traces Sullivan's eventful life from his humble beginnings in Boston to the height of his immense popularity. The boxer moved as easily in the world of reputable workingmen as he did in the shadowlands on the margins of the sport while his success played a major role in transforming boxing into a profitable and ultimately legitimate business. Tapping previously unexplored archival material--including the notorious National Police Gazette and the other sporting papers of the day--Isenberg tells us why presidents, princes, and turn-of-the-century Americans accepted Sullivan as a hero, even as others vilified him for his drunken and belligerent behavior.

Brings to life one of the most enigmatic, romantic, and ultimately tragic characters in American history. The life of nineteenth-century journalist, diplomat, adventurer, and enthusiast for lost causes John Louis O'Sullivan is usually glimpsed only in brief episodes, perhaps because the components of his life are sometimes contradictory. An exponent of romantic democracy, O'Sullivan became a defender of slavery. A champion of reforms for women, labor, criminals, and public schools, he ended his life promoting spiritualism. This first full-length biography reveals a man possessed of the idealism and promise, as well as the prejudices and follies, of his age, a man who sensed the revolutionary and liberating potential of radical democracy but was unable to acknowledge the racial barriers it had to cross to fulfill its promise.
