Liberty Lady
LIBERTY LADY is the true story of a WWII bomber and its crew forced to land in neutral Sweden during the Eighth Air Force's first large-scale daylight bombing raid on Berlin. 1st Lt. Herman Allen was interned and began working for his country's espionage agency, the OSS, with instructions to befriend a businessman suspected of selling secrets to the Germans.

Beholding Disability in Renaissance England
Human variation has always existed, though it has been conceived of and responded to variably.

Summary of Arthur Herman's How the Scots Invented the Modern World

Yet he knew that monarchs were ordained by God, and that the people had to defend their political power against any interlopers. #4 The dream of the people as sovereign died in Scotland with the death of John Knox, but it left its trace within the church itself in the system of synods peculiar to every parish and province in Scotland.
