By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes listeners on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts.

This book presents a comprehensive and pragmatic blueprint for resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict and achieving lasting peace in the region. At its core is a six-part formula: an immediate ceasefire; deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in occupied territories; a UN-organized referendum to let local populations decide their political future; total withdrawal of Russian and Ukrainian forces from contested regions before the vote; binding commitments from both Putin and Zelensky to honor the results; and a formal pledge from Ukraine not to join NATO, addressing Russia's key security concern.

From rural Nebraska to Afghanistan, Brandon Burton writes about the quiet, often invisible burden of command- where restraint matters more than action, and where the hardest choices are the ones no one sees, both in war and coming home. This book is not about heroics. It is about proximity to consequence.
