Book Description
1942. HULL, EAST YORKSHIRE, INGLATERRA- Es la ciudad más fuertemente bombardeada además de Londres, pero por el bien de la moral nacional, los bombardeos sobre Hull se mantienen en secreto. El inspector jefe recién asignado Atticus Dee no puede creer la devastación que encuentra. Pero para Dee y sus ayudantes, el sargento Edward 'Pequeño' Kelley y la auxiliar de la policía de mujeres Camila Parr, es el asesinato, no la guerra, lo que cobra gran importancia. Cuando se atribuye una serie de asesinatos sádicos a los soldados estadounidenses estacionados localmente, Dee pronto descubre que no todo es lo que parece. El hedor del racismo y la corrupción llega hasta lo más alto. Pero encontrar al verdadero asesino será tan peligroso como las bombas que caen. Porque las fuerzas del Estado no pueden permitir que el esfuerzo bélico sea socavado, ni siquiera por la verdad. . .

Recovering from his Operation Arctic Sting injuries, USS Teuthis Executive Officer Mac McDowell is tasked with laying SOSUS arrays in the southern Atlantic and off Thurston Island, Western Antarctica.

Mac and his team experience serious setbacks at the hands of the ChiComs while installing a relay transmitter on a nearby mountain peak. Teuthis discovers an underwater oil operation off Thurston Island and is tasked with escorting a Taiwanese sub and underwater tanker under the cover of the largest military marine exercise since World War II: PacEx89.

El Lector
Author: Araceli Tinajero
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292773676
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The practice of reading aloud has a long history, and the tradition still survives in Cuba as a hard-won right deeply embedded in cigar factory workers' culture. In El Lector, Araceli Tinajero deftly traces the evolution of the reader from nineteenth-century Cuba to the present and its eventual dissemination to Tampa, Key West, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In interviews with present-day and retired readers, she records testimonies that otherwise would have been lost forever, creating a valuable archive for future historians. Through a close examination of journals, newspapers, and personal interviews, Tinajero relates how the reading was organized, how the readers and readings were selected, and how the process affected the relationship between workers and factory owners. Because of the reader, cigar factory workers were far more cultured and in touch with the political currents of the day than other workers. But it was not only the reading material, which provided political and literary information that yielded self-education, that influenced the workers; the act of being read to increased the discipline and timing of the artisan's job.
