 | Adolf by Osamu Tezuka
This drama began on the eve of World War II with three men named Adolf. The fate of Adolf Hitler, the dictator of the evil Third Reich, we know, but Tezuka's series continued after the war, following the other two Adolfs -- one the son of a baker, a German Jew; the other the son of a gentile German diplomat. In this final tale of the complex saga, the two Adolfs are reunited -- first in Japan, during the Allied bombardment of Kobe; and again 30 years after D-Day. Will the childhood friends find peace in themselves and with each other? AUTHOR: Osamu Tezuka

 | Missionary Position by Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens, the British bad boy of Washington, D. C., now takes on Mother Teresa of Calcutta. As he states in his foreword, What would be so base as to pick on a wizened, shrivelled old lady, well stricken in years, who has consecrated her entire life to the needy and the destitute? However, Hitchens points out her associations with Charles Keating, the chaotic financial management of her clinic, her insistence that the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor while she herself gets some of the finest and costliest medical care in Western hospitals.
