Arnhem Umbrella
Operation Market Garden was Major Digby Tatham Warter’s first action. As the OC of ‘A’ Company, 2 Para, he led the advance to the Arnhem road bridge, brushing aside German resistance to reach the objective. Over the course of the next four days, Digby - a well-known eccentric - enhanced his reputation further by displaying solid leadership and a fearlessness that left everyone who witnesses it in awe. Picking up an umbrella and bowler hat from one of the houses, Tatham Warter strolled around the perimeter oblivious to shot and shell, instilling confidence in his men and inspiring them to battle on in the face of overwhelming odds. Wounded and captured at the battle’s end, Digby escaped and linked up with the Dutch Resistance. For weeks he strutted around the area disguised as a deaf and dumb Dutchman to fool the Germans. He collected over hundred paratroopers (‘evaders’) and forged a plan to lead them through enemy lines to safety. His post-war years are just as exciting. This is his story.

The Talanian Way
Charles M. Talanian started school in the 1950s, and it quickly became evident that he wasn’t the best student. In fact, his teachers considered him intellectually challenged. Even so, he was insatiably curious about mechanical things—how a bicycle worked, for instance, and why a lamp went on when you flicked the switch. In his free time, he’d dig stuff out of the trash and build things. Later, he began tinkering with hammers, nails, and wood and built forts and treehouses. As frustrated as he was in school, he found a place helping his father at his fledgling company, C. Talanian Real Estate in Boston. He specialized in rehabbing older buildings in the city’s Back Bay section. Gradually, with modest resources, the company began acquiring retail and office space along Newbury Street. After the author’s father died in 1987, he continued to build the company’s portfolio until it became among the largest holders of commercial properties on Newbury Street, now considered one of the most exclusive streets in the United States. In this memoir, the author shares his unconventional road to success and the steps he took to turn C. Talanian Real Estate into a powerful force.

When Women Win
A behind-the-scenes look at the organization that transformed Congress—and became a force for female empowerment. In 1985, aware of the near-total absence of women in Congress, Ellen Malcolm launched EMILY’s List, a powerhouse political organization that seeks to ignite change by getting women elected to office. The rest is history: Since then, EMILY’s List has helped elect 23 women senators, 12 governors, and 116 Democratic women to the House. When Women Win delivers stories of some of the toughest political contests of the past three decades, including the historic victory of Barbara Mikulski as the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate in her own right and Elizabeth Warren’s dramatic Senate win. It is both a page-turning political drama and an important look at the effects of women’s engagement in politics.
Reading In
What can we learn about authorship through a reading of a writer’s archive? Collections of authors’ manuscripts and correspondence have traditionally been used in ways that further illuminate the published text. JoAnn McCaig sets out to show how archival materials can also provide fascinating insights into the business of culture, reveal the individuals, institutions, and ideologies that shape the author and her work, and describe the negotiations that occur between an author and the cultural marketplace. Using a feminist cultural studies approach, JoAnn McCaig “reads in” to the archives of acclaimed Canadian short story writer Alice Munro in order to explore precisely how the terms ...
