Dianaworld : an obsession by Edward WhiteOver the last forty years, the mythology of Princess Diana has turned the woman who was born Diana Spencer into a symbol for almost anything. From a harbinger of Brexit populism, an all-American consumer capitalist, and the savior of the British aristocracy, to a catalyst for #MeToo and-in the words of one superfan-"the biggest punk that's come out of England," Diana connects with a wider array of people than any member of the royal family ever has. We feel so familiar with Diana that it seems crushingly formal to use anything but her first name. |

The raider : the untold story of a renegade Marine and the birth of U.S. Special Forces in World War II by Stephen R. PlattThe extraordinary life of forgotten World War II hero Evans Carlson, commander of America's first special forces, secret confidant of FDR, and one of the most controversial officers in the history of the Marine Corps. He dedicated his life to bridging the cultural divide between the United States and China. He would import tactics into the Pacific Theater in 1942 with his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of America's special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal with the collaborative spirit of "gung ho"--a phrase Carlson introduced to the English language. The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man's awakening to the sheer breadth of the world. |
