Globemaster Down: Soviet Espionage and the Doomed American Attempt to Sneak Nukes Into Europe
Just in time for the 75th anniversary comes the first book-length investigation into one of the great unsolved mysteries from the early days of the Cold War, when an American cargo plane allegedly carrying an atomic bomb over the Atlantic Ocean disappeared, along with the U.S. military and nuclear specialists on board. Pulitzer Prize-winning war reporter Tod Robberson examines this shocking true story from the early days of the Cold War and the origins of the ongoing, icy relationship between the United States and Russia. 1951. The Cold War is heating up. With Soviet troops amassing across Eastern Europe and the arrests of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for spilling nuclear secrets, President Harry Truman assigned General Curtis LeMay the task of installing nuclear forces in Britain. On March 22, a massive C-124 Globemaster cargo plane--possibly carrying a "Fat Man" bomb--was dispatched to Britain with 53 passengers and crew including elite specialists in atomic warfare. Then tragedy struck . . . The Globemaster never reached its destination. After radio communications ceased over the Atlantic, the plane took a sudden turn, flew hundreds of miles, and was ditched. Survivors disappeared before they could be rescued. Was this the work of Soviet saboteurs? Was the mission compromised from the very start? And is a "broken arrow" bomb still lying on the bottom of the ocean? These are just a few of the questions that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tod Robberson attempts to answer in the first-ever in-depth investigation into this yet-unsolved mystery. Drawing from classified archives and personal accounts, Robberson reconstructs LeMay's mission in riveting detail, exploring possible security leaks including a brigadier general whose bigamy may have compromised the top-secret mission. Meticulously researched and brilliantly told, Globemaster Down tells the fascinating story of two global superpowers in a reckless race toward the brink of nuclear disaster. A must-read for fans of military adventure, Cold War intrigue, and world-class espionage. -

They Kill People: Bonnie and Clyde, a Hollywood Revolution, and America's Obsession with Guns and Outlaws
"Prodigiously researched, the work is a compelling braid of its subtitles. Cineastes will savor the detailed descriptions of the genesis and filming of the famous movie; historians, the backstory of America's romance with guns and violence; and Hollywood history buffs, the ways in which Bonnie and Clyde upended production codes and changed on-screen depictions of sex and violence for good." - Alta On May 23, 1934, two borderline inept but ruthless criminals named Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met their end in a hail of semiautomatic gunfire on a rural road in the Louisiana backcountry. The duo had terrorized Depression-era Middle America with a string of robberies and a brazen daylight prison escape, killing nearly a dozen police officers along the way.
A legend was born. Thirty-two years later, a movie crew gathered on a Warner Bros. studio ranch to re-create the scene of Bonnie and Clyde's violent demise. It was the end of a difficult shoot. Almost everyone involved knew they were on to something, but getting there had taken a toll on relationships both professional and personal. The result was destined to become what is arguably the landmark film of the New Hollywood era. Nothing like it had ever been attempted anything similar had, in fact, been forbidden by censorship. When the lights finally came up after an agonizing moment of black, Hollywood would never be the same. Almost sixty years since it exploded onto American screens, Bonnie and Clyde still retains the power to shock, amaze, and provoke, as fresh and relevant today as when it was first released in 1967. The movie's resonance goes well beyond the peerless filmmaking of director Arthur Penn, producer-star Warren Beatty, and their talented team of collaborators. Bonnie and Clyde taps into a dark wellspring in the American psyche. Produced in a time of great social upheaval, with a country divided under a deeply polarizing president, the film addresses troubling questions about our country's founding myth and its obsession with firearms, questions that remain part of our national debate. They Kill People is the story of the making of Bonnie and Clyde. It is the story of the outlaws whose real lives were anything but glamorous. Most of all, it is the story of how violence and a predilection for firearms became a fundamental part of American identity.
