Book excerpt: For Poland and her people, time is running out: Hitler has set his greedy eyes upon the country and he is determined to have her. In a matter of days, Polish communication with the outside world was eliminated, factories and train stations left in ruins, complete cities annihilated, and thousands lay dead in the once vibrant country. Doctors, professors and clergy are slaughtered while thousands of Polish children are sent to Germany to be raised within the Nazi cause. For young Marta Koblinski the German occupation brings personal tragedy prompting her to take up a friend's challenge and join the Polish underground. Her fair features and command of the German language makes her invaluable to the cause. She is soon positioned as an underground spy in the small town of Auschwitz at a newly christened Labor Camp, Hitler's most closely guarded secret. Struggling to maintain her cover while witnessing unimaginable camp horrors, she faces treason and her own imprisonment while working within the prisoners' resistance efforts. As she attempts to smuggle out proof of Nazi brutalities she must also avoid the unwanted advances of her handsome German cousin and fight against her growing affections towards a Nazi colonel. From top-secret meetings in Hitler's Bauhaus retreat, the massacre at Katyn Forest, dangerous escapes, and little known facts, LIFE IN HITLER'S CROSSHAIRS is a work of historical fiction with astounding depth and resonance. It serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed against a nation and a people– and a celebration of the human spirit to overcome adversities.

Book excerpt: "Will Ukraine drag America into war with Russia?" What's Putin really up to? And what about the United States and NATO? Terrifying headlines of Putin's aggressive moves into Ukraine leave the world questioning where he'll stop. Some politicians liken him to Hitler. Is the world really in such deep trouble? Or are media reports over-sensationalized just to attract attention? "Ukraine in the Crosshairs" is the only book to take this head on. It shoots holes in fabricated stories concocted to titillate. And it shows you how to read between the lines to learn the truth. "Ukraine in the Crosshairs" provides a plain-talk practical perspective. It's no drawn-out ivory tower essay bogged down in historical minutia and endless footnotes. It's intended for common-sense readers who want to make sense out of the troubling news that abounds. The book is replete with quotes from news sources, followed by analysis that contrasts them with readily verifiable facts. Author William Dunkerley examines Putin's contributions to the Ukrainian crisis. But he also discovered other actors with Ukraine in their crosshairs, too. He shows how avaricious foreign entities twisted Ukrainians' quest for a better life into an unremitting disaster. You'll see how Ukraine's ethnic and linguistic milieu was used to incite internal division at the expense of the beneficial diversity that had existed. Fabricated news stories have served as a means of manipulation. In the end culprits are identified who've been in a position to benefit from the creation of Ukraine's calamitous condition. "Ukraine in the Crosshairs" analyzes the period from the start of the Maidan demonstrations in November 2013 through to the controversial Eastern Ukraine elections of November 2014. Relevant historical context is also included. While the commentaries on this crisis in most books stop on the day when they're published, this one is different. The crisis is ongoing.

Book excerpt: **Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Book Award Finalist** The gripping story of a team of Nazi hunters at the U.S. Department of Justice as they raced against time to expose members of a brutal SS killing force who disappeared in America after World War Two. In 1990, in a drafty basement archive in Prague, two American historians made a startling discovery: a Nazi roster from 1945 that no Western investigator had ever seen. The long-forgotten document, containing more than 700 names, helped unravel the details behind the most lethal killing operation in World War Two. In the tiny Polish village of Trawniki, the SS set up a school for mass murder and then recruited a roving army of foot soldiers, 5,000 men strong, to help annihilate the Jewish population of occupied Poland. After the war, some of these men vanished, making their way to the U.S. and blending into communities across America. Though they participated in some of the most unspeakable crimes of the Holocaust, "Trawniki Men" spent years hiding in plain sight, their terrible secrets intact. In a story spanning seven decades, Citizen 865 chronicles the harrowing wartime journeys of two Jewish orphans from occupied Poland who outran the men of Trawniki and settled in the United States, only to learn that some of their one-time captors had followed. A tenacious team of prosecutors and historians pursued these men and, up against the forces of time and political opposition, battled to the present day to remove them from U.S. soil. Through insider accounts and research in four countries, this urgent and powerful narrative provides a front row seat to the dramatic turn of events that allowed a small group of American Nazi hunters to hold murderous men accountable for their crimes decades after the war's end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erik-Christian Denman was a youthful genius-general in the Royal Danish Army who went rogue after the Danish occupation by Nazis in WWII. Leading a group of elite, saboteurs, and assassins to uncountable and legendary victories, in the final months of 1944, he made a series of strange decisions that seemingly put him and his men in mortal danger. With him as a brilliant militarist and fearsome combatant coveted by nation-states across Europe, his men wondered if Danish General Denman was a gifted warrior who would lead them to continued victories or a genius madman who would get them killed. With questions haunting him about life that man had yet to answer and might never answer, General Denman was not certain he was the godsend saint people believed him to be or the spawn of Satan he feared he might be. In December of 1944, in the midst of battle, his men realized that they had a very, very dangerous man on their hands. Deliberately idealized and idyllic to depict his diametrically opposed selves graphically, General Denman's cast of characters are likeable men and women to be enjoyed and admired as they live through his saga with him, often pulling him in opposing directions or supporting him lovingly. Plagued by remorseful doubt and whipped to the core, body and soul, General Denman struggled to continue to do his dirty job. While he performed superbly, like us, he was unaware of how he had impacted their lives. General Erik-Christian Denman made his way among people who did not understand him, with his God, Who did not understand him, in a world that did not understand him, like the rest of us. Eventually, the disconnected pieces of the puzzle of his life formed a complete picture. Though he was once tormented by the unwelcome assaults of despair and resignation, his end of days was an affirmation of hope and a celebration of his virtue.

Book excerpt: 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.
