Then suddenly, the family is forced to deal with a shocking reminder of their turbulent past. Although she had put hundreds of miles between herself and her Alabama farm, there were some things that followed her to California things she could not outrun things she would have to grapple with if her life, and the lives of her children, were ever to return to normal. A horrible and unspeakable act of hate and prejudice shatters their peace and causes Katie and her family to move to California, where she attempts to rebuild her life. They had no idea it would be their last full night together, and the last night they would ever step foot in their beloved home again. On one night in 1960, Katie went to sleep along with her husband in their modest home. Here was where she was raising her children to love God and love others. Here, she could witness God's handiwork in the beauty of the land. Katie's rural Alabama farm, which she shared with her activist husband, was her oasis, her retreat. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival material, principally the testimony of the killers themselves, Goldhagen takes us into the killing fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them wantonly, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims. Goldhagen reconstructs the climate of “eliminationist anti-Semitism” that made Hitler’s pursuit of his genocidal goals possible and the radical persecution of the Jews during the 1930s popular. Hitler’s Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly.

Production is expected to begin this coming fall. The sequel, titled Lords of War, will once again be written and directed by Andrew Niccol – best known for his Oscar-nominated screenplay to The Truman Show. Meanwhile, John Wick: Chapter 4 star Bill Skarsgård has also been enlisted to portray the role of Yuri Orlov’s son, Anton. According to Variety, Oscar winner Nicolas Cage will reprise his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov in a follow-up to the 2005 crime thriller Lord of War. To me, at least, “Stalingrad” now seems a greater novel than “Life and Fate.” It is more varied, more polyphonic, closer to Grossman’s immediate experience of the war. We have titled it Stalingrad – which is what Grossman himself always wanted to call it. Like most tasks relating to Grossman, this has taken a great deal longer than expected, but the novel is at last about to be published. Vasily Grossman’s “Life and Fate” has been hailed as a twentieth-century “War and Peace.” Most readers, however, do not realize that it is only the second half of a two-part work, the first half of which was published in 1952, under the title “For a Just Cause.” During the last three years, my wife and I have been working on a translation of this earlier novel. Robert Chandler provides below an introduction to the novel, Grossman and this edition of “Stalingrad.” It is followed by an excerpt describing Stalingrad’s last hours of peace and the horror of the first strike. We couldn’t wait to read it, and asked for permission to publish an excerpt in advance of the publication. Edited by Robert Chandler and Yury Bit-Yunan and translated from the Russian by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler, it promises to, if not revolutionize readers’ understanding of Vasily Grossman, then at least expand and augment it. In June a new translation of a new version of Vasily Grossman’s “Stalingrad” is being released. Rather, we should depend on our reason and intellect.

The Not-So-Secret Service is a companion to Survivor’s Guilt, his previous work about the Service and the Kennedy assassination, but it also holds up well on its own. His work is exemplary and his battles with certain dissenting agents humorous and telling. His interviews have been detailed and comprehensive. Vince Palamara is a noted expert on the Secret Service and its duties. The highlights of the agency are notable, but the failure of looms large 53 years later. Agents are listed from the FDR administration through Reagan. The book also tells of a cousin of Hillary Clinton’s who is never publicly mentioned who served in the Presidential Protective Detail. A death of an agent in October 1963 was kept under wraps, and the foul-ups in Dallas were laid at the foot of the murdered 35th President. In the case of Kennedy, some agents left a lot to be desired. The Not-So-Secret Service highlights the work of the agents who guard our chief executives and risk their lives. His interest in the JFK assassination has been around just as long. Survivors Guilt is a musthave book that is both massively documented and. Vince Palamara has been interested in the Secret Service since the 1970s when he was growing up. Vince Palamara is to be highly commended for a most impressive book on the Secret Service and the JFK assassination. |
