Book Description
Drawing on years of research and firsthand interviews with both American and Japanese survivors, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy draws a gripping portrait of men bravely serving their countries in war and the advent of a terrifying new weapon, suicide bombing, that nearly halted the most powerful nation in the world. In the closing months of World War II, Americans found themselves facing a new weapon: kamikazes--the first men to use airplanes as suicide weapons. By the beginning of 1945, facing imminent invasion, Japan turned to its most idealistic young men and demanded of them the greatest sacrifice. On May 11, 1945, days after Germany's surrender, the USS Bunker Hill--with thousands of crewmen and the most sophisticated naval technology available--was 70 miles off the coast of Okinawa when pilot Kiyoshi Ogawa flew his plane into the ship, killing 393 Americans in the worst suicide attack against America until September 11.--From publisher description.

Book Description
From veteran submariner James Francis comes a gripping novel of survival and loyalty—above and below the surface of the sea. The submarine USS Tulsa speeds silently through the Norwegian Sea, tracking the newest Russian nuclear sub as it makes a trial run. Then, out of the darkness, another sub appears—colliding with the Tulsa and sending her to the ocean floor. As an international team of rescuers is organized, the story starts to leak out, and a worldwide media blitz ensues—placing even more pressure on an already dangerous mission. And all the while, inside the crippled ship, Captain Geoff Richter must struggle to maintain order and ensure the survival of his crew as the oxygen is slowly depleted, power systems begin to fail, and time runs out.

Book Description
This book contains the most important passages selected from the Buddhist Sacred Books. The aim of the present work is to take different ideas and conceptions found in Pâli writings, and present them to the reader in English. Translation has been the means employed as being the most effectual, and the order pursued is in the main that of the Buddhist "Three Jewels" (in Pâli, Ti-Ratana), to wit, The Buddha, the Doctrine, and the Order. The selections of the first chapter are on The Buddha; next follow those which deal chiefly with the Doctrine; while others concerning the Order and secular life constitute the closing chapter of the book.
