From Omaha Beach to Dawson's Ridge
An infantry company commander in the U.S. Army's heralded 1st Infantry Division, Capt. Joseph Turner Dawson led his men through some of the most brutal battles of World War II. From the invasion of North Africa in late 1942 through Sicily and the assault on Normandy to the push toward the German frontier late in 1944, his length of service on the frontlines was extraordinary, and his heroism while holding off the Germans on a ridge near Aachen, Germany, is legendary. Based on Dawson's own combat journal, this book focuses on leadership in combat during the greatest human drama of the twentieth century. Dawson is at the heart of the drama as he describes the strain of constant combat and its ...

This is Indy!
The Indianapolis Speedway Race is the most exciting one of all, held on the largest track in America, with the most in-attendance fans, and the largest TV audience of any sporting event anywhere, anytime. It is a dangerous, challenging race that is the most important one of all to win for the drivers. If you win at Indy, your future is assured. You are famous. You will get sponsors and you will be paid to advertise products. An Indy winner is set for life in this sport. Fans know this, and cheer on their favorite drivers. But this race is dangerous, and many drivers have lost their lives attempting to win at Indy. They seem somehow to go "over the line" at Indy, as Rick Mears does in this book, in an effort to win. Real fans want them to try harder and harder to win, but real fans don't want any driver or spectator to be hurt, or worse. So real fans cheer when Mears goes high into dangerous territory on the track, rather than low where the risk is less. Every fan should see this race in person at least once.
The Last Days of the Schooner America
The schooner America was a technological marvel and a child star. In the summer of 1851, just weeks after her launching at New York, she crossed the Atlantic and sailed to an upset victory against a fleet of champions. The silver cup she won that day is still coveted by sportsmen. Almost immediately after that famous victory, she began a decades-long run of adventure, neglect, rehabilitations, and hard sailing, always surrounded by colorful, passionate personalities. America ran and enforced wartime blockades. She carried spies across the ocean. And she was on the scene as yachtsmen and business titans spent freely and competed fiercely for the cup she first won. By the early twentieth centu...
