Sinossi

The dramatic story of the final mission and moments of the German Navy’s prized airship during World War I.  Zeppelin Over Suffolk tells the remarkable story of the destruction of a German airship over East Anglia in 1917. The drama is set against the backdrop of Germany’s aerial bombing campaign on Britain in the First World War, using a terrifying new weapon, the Zeppelin. The course of the raid on that summer night is reconstructed in vivid detail, moment by moment—the Zeppelin’s take off from northern Germany, its slow journey across the North Sea, the bombing run along the East Anglian coast, the pursuit by British fighters high over Suffolk, and the airship’s final moments as it fell to earth in flames near the village of Theberton in the early morning of 17 June 1917. Mark Mower gives a gripping account of a pivotal episode in the pioneering days of the air war over England.

There is also much personal detail, often including dates and places of birth, civilian occupations, dates of death and place of burial or, for those with no known grave, place of commemoration.

    Just as polio loomed over the 1950s and AIDS stalked the 1980s and 1990s, post-traumatic stress disorder haunts us in the early years of the twenty-first century. Over a decade into the United States' "global war on terror," PTSD afflicts as many as 30 percent of the conflict's veterans. But the disorder's reach extends far beyond the armed forces. In total, some twenty-seven million Americans are believed to be PTSD survivors. Yet to many of us, the disorder remains shrouded in mystery, secrecy, and shame. 
     
     
    Now David J. Morris—a war correspondent, former Marine, and PTSD sufferer himself—presents the essential account of this illness. Through interviews with individuals living with PTSD, forays into the scientific, literary, and cultural history of the illness, and memoir, Morris crafts a moving work that will speak not only to those with the condition and to their loved ones but also to all of us struggling to make sense of an anxious and uncertain time.

    The classic you-are-there account of the Nixon-McGovern election by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times–bestselling author: “A brilliant analysis.” —Commentary 
     
    The Making of the President 1972 chronicles both the Democratic and the Republican parties as they jockeyed for position toward the end of Richard M. Nixon’s turbulent first term. Theodore White illuminates the cinematic moments that shaped the campaign—the attempt on George Wallace’s life, Edmund Muskie crying in the snow in New Hampshire, the swift rise and fall of Tom Eagleton, and the ongoing anguish of Vietnam—leading inexorably to a second chaotic collapse among the Democrats and a landslide victory for Nixon. Yet even as the president’s highest ambitions were confirmed, White watches aghast as the “new Nixon” of 1968 is eclipsed by the corrupt Nixon of old—a Shakespearean conclusion to an astonishing political epoch. 
     
    “The byzantine events of 1972 unfold here like a timebomb ticking away—Nixon’s dramatic foreign adventures, the Muskie bust and the McGovern phenomenon, the President’s deliberate surrogate campaign, the Democrats’ bloodletting at Miami Beach and the beginning of the destruction of George Stanley McGovern as a viable candidate.” —Kirkus Reviews 
     
    “One of America’s most celebrated political writers.” —The New York Times 
     
    “Among the most influential and gifted journalists of the twentieth century. More than anyone else, White changed the way American politics and government are covered, and in the process he had a major impact on the politicians as well.” —Chicago Tribune 
     
    Includes a new foreword by Cokie Roberts
