Historia
It is said that the right man in the right place at the right time can mean the difference between victory and defeat. This is the dramatic story of 68 soldiers in the US Army's Second Ranger Battalion, Company D - "Dog Company" - who made that difference, time and again. America had many heroes in World War II; however, few can say that, but for them, the course of the war would have been very different. The right men, the right place, the right time - Dog Company.

Historia
In The Nation City, Rahm Emanuel, former two-term mayor of Chicago and White House Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama, offers a firsthand account of how cities, rather than the federal government, stand at the center of innovation and effective governance. Drawing on his own experiences in Chicago, and on his relationships with other mayors around America, Emanuel provides dozens of examples to show how cities are improving education, infrastructure, job conditions, and environmental policy at a local level.

The Bedford Boys is the astonishing true story of 21 young men who were killed during the first horrifying minutes of D-Day and the friends and families they left behind in the small town of Bedford. Twenty-one sons killed - no other town in America suffered a greater loss in one day.

The Bedford Boys
Revisado: 01-10-20
The book is a touching account of one town’s sacrifice during WW II.
Kershaw’s book is a must read, or listen, for anyone interested in World War II history. The story is well written and clearly depicts the landings of D- Day.

Historia
Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

America Loves Lucy
Revisado: 04-02-19
Lucille Ball’s autobiography is a must read for fans of I Love Lucy.
The publication of Lucy’s memories of her rise from a small NY town to becoming a television star, and ultimately being the first woman to become a CEO of a motion picture studio is only missing the later years.
Lucy Arnaz does a wonderful job in relaying the life of her parents, through Lucy’s lens. In particular, Ms. Arnaz’s use of the Spanish speaker accent to convey her father’s conversations is truly enjoyable.

In the first comprehensive biography of Chavez, Miriam Pawel offers a searching yet empathetic portrayal. Chavez emerges here as a visionary figure with tragic flaws; a brilliant strategist who sometimes stumbled; and a canny, streetwise organizer whose pragmatism was often at odds with his elusive, soaring dreams.

Cesar Chávez
Revisado: 09-10-18
A well documented biography of Cesar Chávez. While the story was enjoyable, the only drawback was the profanity. Understand that the author is trying to use original material, but my thought is that there is no need for so much vulgar language to give the story its authenticity.

Historia
Holding power for over 50 years starting in 1327, Edward III was one of England's most influential kings and one who shaped the course of English history. Revered as one of the country's most illustrious leaders for centuries, he was also a usurper and a warmonger who ordered his uncle beheaded. A brutal man, to be sure, but also a brilliant one.

Historia
Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus' landing had crossed the Bering Strait 12,000 years ago; existed mainly in small nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas were, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last 30 years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.

Just finished with Director Comey’s book and it is a recommended must for all who cherish the liberties of our Nation.
I especially enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the many cases Director Comey has worked or supervised.
Detailing the criminality of Martha Stewart, Scooter Libby, General David Petreaus, and others is a strong part of this book.
Overall, I recommend this book because of its content and particular relevance to the on-going challenges in DC.
