Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The War Within: Americas Battle over Vietnam is a painfully engrossing and popularly written account of how the battle on the home front ended Americas least popular war.

In these pages the antiwar era comes to life through the words of scores of participants, both the famous and the forgotten, who speak with candor and passion about this tumultuous period. A remarkable story of a powerful grassroots movement and its influence on officials in Washington. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The definitive New York Timesbestselling account: One of the most intriguing and thought-provoking books about shipwreck since A Night to Remember (The Detroit News). One of the largest, fastest, and most beautiful ships in the world, the Andrea Doria was on her way to New York from her home port in Genoa. Departing from the United States was the much smaller Stockholm. On the foggy night of July 25, 1956, fifty-three miles southeast of Nantucket in the North Atlantic, the Stockholm sliced through the Dorias steel hull. Within minutes, water was pouring into the Italian liner. Eleven hours later, she capsized and sank into the ocean. In this electrifying book, Associated Press journalist Alvin Moscow, who covered the court hearings that sought to explain the causes of the tragedy and interviewed all the principals, re-creates with compelling accuracy the actions of the ships officers and crews, and the terrifying experiences of the Dorias passengers as they struggled to evacuate a craft listing so severely that only half of its lifeboats could be launched (Newsweek). Recounting the heroic, rapid response of other shipswhich averted a catastrophe of the same scale as that of the Titanicand the official inquest, Moscow delivers a fact-filled, fascinating drama of this infamous maritime disaster, and explains how a supposedly unsinkable ship ended up at the bottom of the sea. In the New York Times Book Review, Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, said of Collision Course: More than a magnificent analysis of the accident and sinking; it is a warmly compassionate document, full of understanding for the people on each side.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Hip, violent and funny vignettes of the mean streets of southeast London tie together this rowdy set of short novels from the Irish crime writer (Publishers Weekly). At sixty-two, Chief Inspector Roberts is nearly too old to be a cop, but he makes up for his age with a ferocity that the younger detectives cannot match. After four decades on the force, he has a daughter who hates him, a wife who cheats, and a bank account that grows emptier every year. But on Londons darker streets, Roberts is a force to be reckoned with. With his partner, the gleefully brutal Detective Sergeant Brant, Roberts looks for every policemans dream: the White Arrest, a high-profile success that makes up for all their past failures. In A White Arrest, their target is a bat-wielding lunatic who knocks off drug dealers. In Taming the Alien, they hunt a mysterious hit man who earned his nickname by carrying out a hit while watching Ridley Scotts sci-fi classic. And in The McDead, Roberts and Brant set their sights on a cunning kingpin ruling Londons southeast side. Gripping and gritty, Ken Bruens White Trilogy is an unforgettable noir portrait of Londons seedy underworld. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

This striking collection of nine tales showcases Simaks ability to take the everyday and turn it into something truly compelling, taking readers on a long journey in a very short time. In Dusty Zebra, Joe discovers a portal that allows him to exchange everyday objects with an entity he can neither see nor hear, and soon learns that one mans treasure may be another dimensions trash. In Retrograde Evolution, an interplanetary trading vessel tries to figure out how to deal with a remote society that has suddenly decided to become far less civilized. And in Project Mastodon, an unusual ambassador from an unheard-of country offers amazing opportunities in a place the modern world can never compete with: the past. Simaks mastery of the short form is on display in these and six other stories. Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
