Scapegoat: The Lonesome Death of Bruno Richard Hauptmann by

Anthony Scaduto

He discloses the extraordinary documented evidence that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was innocent of the crime for which he was electrocuted. The Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932 was the most sensationally publicized criminal case in the 20th century. The author shows that Hauptmann was framed by manufactured evidence, perjury, the suppression of key documents, and fraudulent "expert" witnesses, all orchestrated by a politically ambitious prosecutor and venal police. Scaduto demonstrates that Hauptmann was the perfect scapegoat, a naive immigrant German victimized in a carnival trial.

How to Live to Be 100: The Lifestyle of the People of the Caucasus by Sula Benet

An anthropologist and the world expert in the study of the long-lived people of the Soviet republics and regions of the Caucasus, has been permitted what no other foreigner ever has: complete access to homes, family life, and records of these people. The Caucasus have the largest number of long-living people in the world; men and women who live to be 90 commonly, often 100 and more. Cases have been documented of people as old as 160, though this is exceptional. Focusing on all significant factors affecting longevity; climate, geography, diet, folk medicine, family and sexual relations, life attitudes, recreation, plus medical data; Dr. Benet balances both heredity and environmental influences, and she shows us what we can learn from the people of the Caucasus.

A Man Called Intrepid: The Secret War by William Stevenson

He has written the chronicle of the world's first integrated intelligence operation and of its chief, William Stephenson, whose code name, INTREPID, and bold mission were given him by Winston Churchill. The year was 1940, when the survival of Britain and the fate of free nations hung perilously in the balance. INTREPID was charged with maintaining the closest possible but most guarded covert communication between Churchill and Roosevelt, and with establishing, from virtually nothing, a worldwide intelligence network that would challenge the staggering force of the Nazi juggernaut. The brilliant result of that mission has remained, until now, the best-kept secret of World War II.
