In 1942 German U-boats turned the shipping lanes off Cape Hatteras into a sea of death. Cruising up and down the U.S. eastern seaboard; they sank 259 ships; littering the waters with cargo and bodies. As astonished civilians witnessed explosions from American beaches; fighting men dubbed the area "Torpedo Junction." And while the U.S. Navy failed to react; a handful of Coast Guard sailors scrambled to the front lines. Outgunned and out-maneuvered; they heroically battled the deadliest fleet of submarines ever launched. Never was Germany closer to winning the war.In a moving ship-by-ship account of terror and rescue at sea; Homer Hickam chronicles a little-known saga of courage; ingenuity; and triumph in the early years of World War II. From nerve-racking sea duels to the dramatic ordeals of sailors and victims on both sides of the battle; Hickam dramatically captures a war we had to win--because this one hit terrifyingly close to home.

Malcolm X - Historical Photo AlubmBy Sondra cooperI originally purchased this photo album in 1993 for $24.95 (actually I gave at least six copies as presents). Imagine my delight that after 22 years it was still available and what a great deal at $27.95. I intend to give it to a young man as a graduation gift in hopes that he will be inspired to build a library with historical and profound literature.Thanks for the opportunity to seek-out great works of literature at an affordable price.Sondra Cooper1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
