The Triple Agent
Joby Warrick
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
...In December 2009, a group of the CIA's top terrorist hunters gathered at a secret base in Afghanistan to greet a rising superspy: Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian who had infiltrated the upper ranks of al-Qaeda. For months, he had sent shocking revelations from inside the terrorist network and now promised to help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden's top deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, al-Balawi detonated a 30-pound bomb, instantly killing seven CIA operatives and giving the agency its worst loss of life in decades. Now, with breathless momentum and rare inside access, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Joby Warrick takes us deep inside the CIA's war against al_Qaeda for an unforgettable portrait of both Humam Khalil al-Balawi and the veteran agents whose fierce desire to avenge 9/11 led to a terrible miscalculation.

December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World
Craig Shirley
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
..In the days leading up to December 7, 1941, most Americans were feeling better than they had in years. The holidays were approaching and we were finally emerging from the clutches of the Great Depression. However, the Third Reich and the British were engaged in massive tank battles along Africa's Mediterranean coast, and hundreds of thousands of German troops were invading Russia. But with their memory still fresh from our involvement in World War I, Americans did not want anything to do with these struggles. However, the apocalypse that rained down on that unsuspecting, peaceful Hawaiian Sunday morning and the subsequent U.S. reaction changed everything. On December 1941, Craig Shirley painstakingly accounts for each day of this historic month, providing readers views from many unique and important perspectives of a period of time that shaped the world we live in today..

Dr. Elliot Engel
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
...With The Journey of Money, Dr. Engel discusses the Invention of money 3000 years ago and how the ancient Greeks and Romans turned it into the cash we know today. Using history, biography, anecdotes, analysis and large doses of humor, Professor Engel brings to life a fascinating topic that affects each and every one of us in our daily lives. He provides both an informative and entertaining background to this most basic economic necessity (Note: A CD of this topic will be provided in place of a book.)
