Ernle Bradford - 1967
    Specializing in the Mediterranean world and naval topics, Bradford was an enthusiastic sailor himself and spent almost thirty years sailing the Mediterranean, where many of his acclaimed books are set. He served in the Royal Navy during World War II, finishing as the first lieutenant of a destroyer, and afterward worked as an editor and correspondent for the BBC.Now, his engaging series of military histories is available to a new generation of readers. Constantinople, jewel of the East, whose Roman emperor embraced Christianity and transformed a fanatic cult into the most powerful religion the world had ever known. The city became itself a center of art, culture, and commerce and the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Yet, when the forces of Islam swept the Holy Land and captured Jerusalem, the avenging Christian crusaders set their eyes on Constantinople, attacked, and sacked it. The war pitted Christian against Christian, severing Rome’s Eastern capital from its Western one. The Fourth Crusade spelled the decline and ultimate doom of the Holy Roman Empire. In The Great Betrayal, Bradford brings to life this powerful tale of envy, greed, and betrayal.

Notes on the New Society of the Philippines


Ferdinand E. Marcos - 1973
    With a cool objectivity that heightens rather than diminishes the excruciating drama behind his historic decision, Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Philippines, narrates the events which made the proclamation of martial law—and the building of a new society—a compelling necessity of national survival. This book offers valuable insights into the rationale of martial law and the governing principles of the New Society. President Marcos was making notes for a sequel to his first book. Today's Revolution: Democracy, when he had to take the fateful decision which launched what he calls the "September 21 Movement. "Hence, these notes, indicating not an incompleteness of vision but the pressure on the nation and the Presidency: the race for time. But even as "notes," there is a wholeness in them, a logical consistency proceeding from the chapter on the rebellion of the poor to the final chapter on the theory and practice in the New Society, that justifies their publication for the enlightenment of the concerned citizenry and interested observers of Philippine affairs. The author further announces two other books, Constitution and Martial Law and A Philippine President's Diary.(from the book flaps)

The Last Headbangers: NFL Football in the Rowdy, Reckless '70s: the Era that Created Modern Sports


Kevin Cook - 2013
    In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana’s gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today. Kevin Cook’s rollicking chronicle of this pivotal decade draws on interviews with legendary players—Harris, Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Ken “Snake” Stabler—to re-create their heroics and off-field carousing. He shows coaches John Madden and Bill Walsh outsmarting rivals as Monday Night Football redefined sports’ place in American life. Celebrating the game while lamenting the physical toll it took on football’s greatest generation, Cook diagrams the NFL’s transformation from second-tier sport into national obsession.
