World War II History
Hell Above the Earth (2012)
By Stephen Frater
Werner Goering a United States B-17 pilot during World War II for the Mighty 8th Air Force, had a hurdle to overcome - his uncle is Reich Marshal Hermann Goering, head of the Luftwaffe and Hitler's second in command. Unbeknown to him, Goering's co-pilot, Jack Rencher had a standing order from J. Edgar Hoover to kill Werner in case they got shot down or if he was trying to commit an act of treason. Jack, a poor boy with a difficult childhood, found Werner to be a soul mate, his only friend in life. The author's research brings this decades old secret, which is profound and deeply personal, to light.
Stalin's General: Georgy Zhukov (2012)
By Geoffrey Roberts
A man of indomitable will and fierce determination, Georgy Zhukov was the Soviet Union’s indispensable commander through every one of the critical turning points of World War II. Drawing on the latest research from recently opened Soviet archives, including the uncensored versions of Zhukov’s own memoirs, Roberts offers a vivid portrait of a man whose tactical brilliance was matched only by the cold-blooded ruthlessness with which he pursued his battlefield objectives.
