Patrick K. O'Donnell has made a career of uncovering the hidden history of World War II by tracking down and interviewing its most elite troops: the Rangers, Airborne, Marines, and First Special Service Force, forerunners to Americas's Special Forces.

Six months after Pearl Harbor, the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese Navy prepared a decisive blow against the United States. After sweeping through Asia and the South Pacific, Japan's military targeted the tiny atoll of Midway, an ideal launching pad for the invasion of Hawaii and beyond. But the United States Navy was waiting for them. Thanks to cutting-edge code-breaking technology, tactical daring, and a huge stroke of luck, the Americans under Admiral Chester W. Nimitz dealt the Japanese navy its first major defeat of the war.

Evans interweaves a broad narrative of the war’s progress with viscerally affecting personal testimony from a wide range of people - from generals to front-line soldiers, from Hitler Youth activists to middle-class housewives. The Third Reich at War lays bare the dynamics of a nation more deeply immersed in war than any society before or since. Fresh insights into the conflict’s great events are here, from the invasion of Poland to the Battle of Stalingrad to Hitler’s suicide in the bunker.

In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict, and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy.

Twenty-six-year-old cavalry officer Slavomir Rawicz was captured by the Red Army in 1939 during the German-Soviet partition of Poland and sent to the Siberian Gulag.

Holmes and Watson at the darkest place on earth in April 1945.

Снайперское движение в Красной армии началось в самые отчаянные дни войны, осенью 1941-го, на Ленинградском фронте. В 1943 году в составе действующей армии появились первые женские снайперские взводы. На счету у многих «ангелов мщения» были десятки убитых врагов. Не всем этим девушкам довелось дожить до конца войны. Те, кому повезло, вернулись, совсем еще молодыми, к жизни обычных советских женщин. И все же главным событием их жизни стала Великая Отечественная.

In The OSS: America’s First Spy Agency, acclaimed historian Cyril Marlen peels back the curtain on the secret missions, eccentric characters, and dangerous innovations that defined the OSS’s short but seismic existence. From hidden radios tucked into shaving kits to jungle warfare in Burma, from psychological propaganda campaigns to midnight parachute drops into Nazi territory, this is the untold story of America’s first experiment with shadow war—and the people bold enough to carry it out.

The Anarchy tells the remarkable story of how one of the world’s most magnificent empires disintegrated and came to be replaced by a dangerously unregulated private company, based thousands of miles overseas in one small office, five windows wide, and answerable only to its distant shareholders. In his most ambitious and riveting audiobook to date, William Dalrymple tells the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before, unfolding a timely cautionary tale of the first global corporate power.

On 25 December 1943, the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst slipped out Altenfjord in Norway to attack Arctic convoy JW55B which was carrying vital war supplies to the Soviet Union. But British naval intelligence knew of the Scharnhorst's mission before she sailed and the vulnerable convoy was protected by a large Royal Naval force, including the battleship Duke of York. In effect the Scharnhorst was sailing into a trap. One of the most compelling naval dramas of the Second World War had begun.

Beneath the thunder of artillery and the roar of aerial dogfights, another war was unfolding—one fought in silence, in shadows, and behind sealed doors. The Secret Labs of WWII unveils the hidden world of scientific and technological warfare that helped determine the fate of nations. From bomb-ravaged Europe to the deserts of New Mexico, the book takes you inside the clandestine facilities where intellect rivalled infantry, and innovation became as deadly as any bullet.

How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"? Unlike many other books that track Adolf Hitler's career after 1933, this book focuses on his formative period—immediately following World War I (1918-1924). The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.
