To succeed--and to save D-Day--they'll need to get arrested by the Nazis. By March 1944, World War II had raged for four and a half years. Tens of millions were already dead. Adolf Hitler knew an Allied invasion was coming and planned to crush it--if only he knew where it would land. If the führer's forces were in the right place, the Nazis could stop D-Day and continue their murderous control of Europe. But the Allies had a plan. Operation Sparrow called for an elite three-man commando team to drop behind enemy lines, walk into German hands and craft a web of lies strong enough to sway Hitler. The mission seemed impossible: survive Nazi interrogation while making D-Day lies sound true. The three men would risk everything to convince the führer the invasion would strike the Balkans, two thousand kilometres away from Normandy. It was either genius or suicidal. Probably both. Operation Sparrow is the never-before-told story of one of the most daring and successful missions of World War II--a razor's-edge campaign that diverted millions of Axis troops from Normandy's beaches through cunning, espionage and audacity."--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C944466</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C944466</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bell, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/944466018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Incredible True Story of the Spies Who Tricked Hitler and Won the War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781335016423/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The City Without Jews]]></title><description><![CDATA[From an award-winning historian, the gripping, singular story of the destruction of Jewish Vienna as seen through the letters and diaries of an extraordinary woman who witnessed it all. In 1922, Hugo Bettauer published the novel The City Without Jews, a satirical critique of Austrian antisemitism. Three years later he would be killed by an early follower of the Nazi Party. More than a decade later, in March 1938, the novel's terrifying vision of a Vienna emptied of Jews would begin to be realized. German troops poured into the glittering city, marking the beginning of seven years of unfathomable state-sanctioned violence against the Jewish population. A work of great power and urgency, The City Without Jews: Life and Death in Nazi Vienna tells the dramatic story of these seven years as they have never been told before. Drawing on hundreds of sources, many of which have lain untouched for decades, the historian Douglas Smith captures with novelistic immediacy the intertwined lives of those who experienced this age of extremes. And of all these voices, one stands out: a middle-aged nurse named Mignon Langnas, a Jewish woman who would see all her friends and family, and her entire world, disappear. The only Jew who spent the entire seven years in Nazi Vienna and left behind such a detailed record of her life, Mignon, in her letters and diaries, shows herself to be a woman of exceptional strength, compassion, and dignity, seeking to make sense of the once-vibrant city that had now turned against her. By turns heartbreakingly intimate and dazzlingly epic, The City Without Jews tells the story of the destruction of Jewish Vienna in previously untapped breadth and detail. Even more than a work of history, it is a reminder and a warning-of the consequences of forgetting a past whose legacy refuses to die.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942766</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942766</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/942766018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Life and Death in Nazi Vienna</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374606558/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sengoku Jidai]]></title><description><![CDATA["Japan's Sengoku Jidai ('Warring states period') was a time of crisis and upheaval, a chaotic epoch when the relatively low-born rural military class of bushi (samurai warriors) succeeded in overthrowing their social superiors in the court throughout much of the country. Into this tumultuous age of constant warfare came three remarkable individuals: Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582), Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598), and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616). Each would play a unique role in the reunification of the disparate, fragmented collection of warring provinces which constituted Japan in the sixteenth and early seventeenth-centuries. This new narrative history of the Sengoku era draws together the epic strands of their three stories for the first time. It offers a coherent survey of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568-1600) under both Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, followed by the founding years of the Tokugawa shogunate (1600-1616). Every pivotal battle fought by each of these three hegemons is explored in depth from Okehazama (1560) and Nagashino (1575) to Sekigahara (1600) and the Two Sieges of Osaka Castle (1614-15). In addition, the political and administrative underpinnings of their rule is also examined, as well as the maringla role played by western foreigners (nanban) and the Christian religion in early modern Japanese society. In its scope, the story of Japan's three unifiers ('the Fool,' 'the Monkey,' and 'the Old Badger') is a sweeping saga encompassing acts of unimaginable cruelty as well as feats of great samurai heroism which were venerated and written about long into the peaceful Edo/Tokugawa period."--Page 4 of cover.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C944479</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C944479</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chaplin, Danny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/944479018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu : Three Unifiers of Japan</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781983450204/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rock*]]></title><description><![CDATA[Kaleidoscopic culture critic Chuck Klosterman rewrites the history of reality in an "ingenious" ( Kirkus Reviews ) work of speculative nonfiction based on a question that has never been considered or (in all likelihood) even asked: What if The Beatles had only developed a cult following while the Velvet Underground emerged as the most popular band in the world? The Velvet Underground & Nico was released in the spring of 1967. For decades, the cliche has been that it initially only sold 10,000 copies, though everyone who bought it supposedly started a band. It is the definition of a record whose influence outstrips its mass popularity. But what if the opposite had transpired? What if instead of selling 10,000 copies, it had sold...10 million copies? What if it had sold 100 million copies? What would have happened if the Velvet Underground had inexplicably become the biggest group in the history of popular music, and everything about the rest of the 20th century was merely a footnote to that phenomenon? Chuck Klosterman has generated a fictitious universe where almost everything is different, except for the songs. The songs remain the same--the difference is how they are heard and what they now mean. Lou Reed is a messiah, reversing the monoculture and dictating the outcome of presidential elections. The Beatles disappear, though they never break up. The Rolling Stones collapse while Led Zeppelin goes bankrupt. Punk rock fills stadiums, undermined only by insouciant radicals like Boston and Van Halen. Disco is destroyed. Hip-hop becomes country. The 1980s are defined by disposable pop icons (like G.G. Allin) and Christian revivalists (like Madonna). Lenny Kravitz lets love rule, Oasis collides with a wonderwall, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 are somehow blamed on the Strokes. Presented like The Rolling Stone History of Rock & Roll if written by Philip K. Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, and Patrick Bateman, Rock* intermixes satiric contrarianism and Spinal Tap-ish absurdity with darker theories about what makes art popular, how success delineates perception, and the inescapable consensus of subjective history.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940558</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940558</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Klosterman, Chuck]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/940558018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306837999/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[History by A Hair]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 2011, staff at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History discovered what appeared to be a hair--light red, possibly human--pressed between the pages of the Thomas Jefferson Bible. That hair sparked an unprecedented scientific quest: determining if modern genomics could recover Jefferson's DNA and finally resolve the most divisive and enduring question surrounding his life--the paternity of the children of Sally Hemings, one of hundreds of African Americans enslaved by Thomas Jefferson. For over two centuries, the Jefferson-Hemings controversy has shaped American debates about race, power, slavery, and the mythology of the Founding Fathers. Historians have argued fiercely. Descendants have lived with uncertainty. DNA technology in the 1990s brought us closer, but not all the way; the evidence remained incomplete. Until now. In this riveting narrative--part scientific detective story, part historical epic--Richard Kurin, distinguished scholar and museum official, leads readers through the fifteen-year-long genomic investigation conducted with leading DNA scientists, archaeologists, genealogists, forensic experts, and Jefferson and Hemings' descendants across the country.The result is the first conclusive, scientifically validated answer to a question that has reverberated since the eighteenth century--an answer that settles the historical record, deepens our understanding of Jefferson, honors generations of family oral history, and asks America to confront the full complexity of its origins." -- publisher's marketing]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942783</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942783</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kurin, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/942783018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings &amp; Solving A 200-year-old Mystery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217088508/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't Say Palestine]]></title><description><![CDATA["A searing indictment of Western media that lays bare how a so-called free press, long tasked with speaking truth to power, instead became a vital part of the machinery that enabled the genocide in Palestine"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C941433</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C941433</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rad, Assal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/941433018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>How the Media Manufactured Consent for Genocide</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217010349/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shadow Before the Flame]]></title><description><![CDATA["For thirty-seven seconds on May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg lit up the sky over Lakehurst, New Jersey in an indelible conflagration that shocked the world and brought the airship era to a close. In this definitive account, acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz brings together little-known research that unveils the disaster as a pivotal moment in time, at the crossroads of the rising tension between Germany (where the Hindenburg's fateful trip began) and the US in the 1930s, as well as a rapidly changing age of aviation in which the airship had been deemed the future of air travel, a technology that would connect the world. While thirty-six people died in the explosion, many others crawled from the wreckage and survived to tell the tale. Katz traces the experiences of a captivating cast of characters: an heiress, a world-renowned acrobat, a German Jew working to save his family from the clutches of Nazism, a young cabin boy on his first voyage with the crew. Meanwhile, on the ground were two intrepid journalists whose reporting on the Hindenburg would invent breaking news as we now know it. In a deeply researched yet gripping, ticking-clock narrative, Shadow Before the Flame offers a portrait of an era-that brief suspended moment in time before war became an inevitability-tracing the rapid rise of fascism and march toward World War II.

Far from being a religious or outdated concept, evil is a vital lens, Susan Neiman argues, through which to understand the threats we face today. Neiman is one of our most important philosophers, and one of the world's leading thinkers on the nature and question of evil. She opens this sharp, revelatory work with the idea that the reelection of Donald Trump is the outcome not simply of political and economic forces but the erosion of values that have been subject to derision for more than a century. She goes on to show how we have been quietly bombarded from all sides with messages that undermine basic moral principles. Misreadings of Adam Smith and Charles Darwin have led to a view of human nature we now accept as common sense: ideals are for losers, or for politicians who wish to deceive them. Neiman then explores how that ancient view, first formulated by pre-Socratic philosophers, has been steadily promoted by corporate interests and (pseudo) scientists in the modern era. Drawing on history--from European fascism to the moral failures of recent U.S. leaders--she demonstrates how the normalization of evil corrodes trust, destroys justice, and endangers our future. This is a book for readers who refuse to accept moral confusion as the price of political life, and who believe that confronting evil is the first step toward renewing it--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942182</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C942182</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Neiman, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/942182018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Understanding the Trump Era</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324131045/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Last Free Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["Kabul; August 15, 2021. It was supposed to be Marwa's first day back at medical school. After more than a year of the pandemic's isolation, here, at last, was a cause for celebration. She set out her books and ironed the dress specially chosen for the occasion. But when she awoke that morning, giddy anticipation quickly gave way to panic and fear. The streets were thronged with desperate crowds, everyone pressing in the same direction. The Taliban were coming. They had only hours to get out. On the radio, an announcer intoned the names of the provinces that had already fallen. Marwa had gone to bed the night before with a vision of a whole future ahead of her. Now she had only minutes to pack, wondering how she could condense everything she'd ever known into a single backpack. Efforts to evacuate the group were taking place as Rebecca Blumenstein was driving her son cross-country to college. As a top editor of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, she had been deeply involved in managing the foreign correspondents the paper sent to war zones. Now, as the lives of their Afghan Bureau employees and their families were imperiled by the Taliban's swift resurgence, she played a pivotal role in coordinating their evacuation, in the end securing the relocation from Afghanistan to the US of more than 200 people - the largest privately sponsored group of refugees in modern American history. She then led their resettlement into their new life in the U.S. Though each is navigating different circumstances and dreams, these four brave, remarkable women are united in their desire to make the most of the opportunity they have been given.

On September 25, 1930, Adolf Hitler appeared before Germany's Supreme Court and outlined his plans to destroy the Weimar Republic through democratic process. The judge asked, 'So, only through constitutional means?' Hitler replied, 'Jawohl!' Barely two years later, on January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed the fifteenth chancellor of the Weimar Republic. Within 53 days of that date, he had effected one of the most astonishing transformations in modern democracy, using the provisions of the Constitution to turn a democratic republic into an authoritarian state. Drawing from his 800-page political playbook, Mein Kampf, Hitler banned or neutered the print press and radio; purged the civil service and installed party loyalists; suspended civil liberties; compromised the courts; imposed Reich government control over the country's seventeen federated states; slapped draconian tariffs on trading partners; co-opted, imprisoned, or drove political opponents into exile; assumed control over the central bank; and then compelled the Reichstag, the country's legislative body, to pass an Enabling Act granting Hitler dictatorial power. Charting the key events of those dramatic days in taut and compelling prose, Timothy W. Ryback evokes the raw political power and increasing inevitability of Hitler's state capture, amid heroic efforts by journalists and social democrats to save the republic, underscoring the alarming observation in Joseph Goebbels' collected essays: 'The big joke on democracy is that it provides its mortal enemies with the means to its own destruction'"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945368</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945368</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryback, Timothy W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/945368018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Hitler Dismantled A Democracy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802168245/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither Wolf Nor Dog]]></title><description><![CDATA["Against an unflinching backdrop of 1990s reservation life and the majestic spaces of the western Dakotas, Neither Wolf nor Dog tells the story of two men, one white and one Indian, locked in their own understandings yet struggling to find a common voice.

Silenced on social media, pilloried by the press, and targeted for prosecution, the ex-president's future appeared bleak. But in the months and years that followed, Trump staged a historic political comeback, rising from disgrace to win a second presidential term that launched a social, cultural, political, and economic transformation for America. Here, best-selling author Victor Davis Hanson pinpoints how Trump regained power and came to lead an American counterrevolution. As Hanson reveals, the success and aggressiveness of Trump's second-term agenda can only be fully understood as the product of his four years in the political and legal wilderness. Hanson details the tactical errors and overreaches of Trump's opponents, as well as how Trump took note of those persecuting him and shaped his renewed agenda around striking back. Packed with indispensable insight into the larger patterns behind Donald Trump's rise, fall, and victorious return, The Counterrevolution is the definitive account of how a reelection transformed contemporary American history." -- Amazon.com]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940494</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940494</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hanson, Victor Davis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/940494018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541607828/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How England Began]]></title><description><![CDATA["A compelling account of England's emergence from the ruins of Roman Britain. in 410-CE, Roman rule of Britain collapsed, bringing a centuries-long occupation to an end.

Confronting America: What Has to Change is a deeply personal book account of America's recent history, informed by O'Reilly's first-hand encounters and opinions about those people and their actions. O'Reilly reveals never-before-reported information about five presidential administrations, terrorism, crime, corruption, and famous people, including power media figures he has worked with and competed against. Written in his legendary "No Spin" style, O'Reilly's breakdown of the United States and its vexing problems is unique, provocative, and compelling. From Donald Trump, Barack Obama, the Clintons, and the Bushes, to Paul McCartney, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, and scores of other iconic people, O'Reilly offers eyewitness history at its best.

While the events of that day have been widely reported, Ash and Honor is a masterclass of narrative journalism, putting into a shocking new context what really happened. Investigative journalist Jeffrey Robinson weaves together the stories of more than 60 American and Canadian eye-witnesses to history, many of whom who have never spoken publicly, taking readers on a unique journey deep inside the most crucial and devastating 368 minutes of our time. Ash and Honor draws from the voices of people in the air and on--or below--the ground, all making crucial, split-second decisions. From the pilot in the cockpit of what was possibly "the fifth plane"; to the pilots in the cockpits of the fighter jets on a suicide mission to stop the hijacked planes from reaching their targets; to Air Force One, where the pilot, facing a direct threat to the plane, told himself, "Time to be Tom Cruise," while the Secret Service agent responsible for President Bush's safety refused his demand to return to Washington. Robinson reveals what happened in a bunker five stories below the East Wing of the White House, where an illegal order was made to shoot down a civilian passenger jet; in a tense meeting in the National Military Command Center's top-secret Air Threat Conference; and in NORAD's underground Cheyenne Mountain, where a direct threat to NORAD was so menacing that the commanding General declared "Battle stations" deep inside and ordered the 30-ton hardened steel blast doors shut. Meanwhile, the FAA's national operations manager took it upon himself to order all planes in the air to land; the Canadian Minister of Transport suddenly found himself with 238 planes and 33,000 passengers diverted to Canada; the small Canadian towns of Whitehorse and Gander braced for crises and emergency landings; and a three-star general in Alaska stared down Vladimir Putin, who deliberately sent Russian bombers right up to the edge of US airspace as America's nuclear response was put on a worldwide 15-minute alert. ASH AND HONOR is the definitive chronicle of the chaos and confusion, the turmoil and pandemonium, told by first-hand sources who guided America through the ash and honor of its darkest day.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C941424</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C941424</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robinson, Jeffrey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/941424018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold 368 Minutes of 9/11</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250465191/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Distance Between Our Names]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 1872, a new Japanese government's first diplomatic delegation to the United States was greeted with rapturous welcome in San Francisco. For over ten days of lavish parties, the city's elite admired the emissaries' silk robes and noble bearing and began forging what they expected would be a special relationship between ascendant Pacific nations. Three decades later, a young Japanese immigrant disembarked at the very same waterfront to a different reception. "I was baptized with horse dung," Nisuke Mitsumori recalled. "This was my very first impression of America." Mitsumori arrived in the first angry days of America's war on Japanese immigrants, a populist convulsion that became one of the nation's darkest episodes of ethnic strife. In the early 1900s, Japanese immigrants faced mob violence and property destruction. Exclusionary laws restricted Japanese immigrants' rights to own property, vote, and marry outside their race. Tensions intensified until 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned in camps during World War II. The Distance Between Our Names is the story of the early battles over Japanese immigration--the less dramatic, more insidious chapter. Esteemed journalist Paul Richter researched hundreds of memoirs, public records, news reports, and oral histories to deliver an urgent account of immigration history. This highly relevant book is enlivened by intimate stories of the newcomers--high and humble--such as the children banned from public schools, farmers struggling in a system rigged against them, the women who were swindled into marriages resulting in lifetimes of hardship, immigrant leaders battling to forestall punitive laws. Taken together, The Distance Between Our Names is a stunning narrative of resilience and struggle, a gripping story of one community's brave fight for dignity in the face of savage discrimination.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945930</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945930</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richter, Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/945930018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold History of America&apos;s War on Japanese Immigrants</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668031186/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knights of the Golden Circle]]></title><description><![CDATA["Based on years of exhaustive and meticulous research, David C.

Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn't either, until after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country that most media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA. What began as curiosity became--one story at a time--an intimate, revealing portrait of America today. From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals' homes, Your Fellow Americans captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn't a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: people who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we're more alike than we are different."--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940579</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C940579</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Santenello, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/940579018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Dispatches From Across the Country We Call Home</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668214343/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
