Story
Chutzpah, says Alan M. Dershowitz, is "boldness, assertiveness, a willingness to demand what is due, to defy tradition, to challenge authority, to raise eyebrows." Assessing his experiences, he brings to bear all the chutzpah for which he is famous in examining such issues as anti-Semitism, assimilation, the Holocaust, Zionism. The changes in Eastern Europe, and the turmoil in the Middle East, as well as what the future will bring—and needs to bring.

Story
Blanche Wiesen Cook recreates Eleanor Roosevelt in all of her roles -- as a visionary, an activist, a political wife, and a woman far more independent than we knew. No other First Lady has had a greater influence in the course of democracy in this century, and no other book about Eleanor Roosevelt captures the complexity of her character - her wit, her passion, her boldness, and her commitment to greater dignity and security for all women and men.

Story
Young men who dream of heroes look to West Point and to a career of serving their country. The class of 1966 was no exception, but these cadets faced greater challenges than any earlier generation could have imagined. Thirty of them would be killed in Vietnam, but for those who did return, they resigned from the Army in records numbers—returning to a society that paid no honor to their military careers. In The Long Gray Line, Rick Atkinson eloquently tells the stories of the class of '66, a class that represented the innocence and patriotism of a generation.

Clayton Lonetree, a Native American marine, fell in love with a beautiful Russian woman and was recruited by a KGB officer posing as her "Uncle Sasha" to become a spy for the Soviet Union. The "sex-for-Secrets Marine Spy Scandal," as it was called by the press, had all the elements of a great novel...but it was a story.
