|  | Once Upon a Time In New York by Herbert Mitgang
This New York City history chronicles the fall of the Tammany Hall political machine and centers on the the Seabury Commission, a state investigative body under then-governor Franklin Roosevelt, that investigated--and ended the career of--the powerful and popular Mayor Jimmy Walker. Mitgang, a veteran journalist, evokes the turbulent and colorful personalities of the Roaring Twenties and `30s and conveys a sense of old New York, while analyzing a turbulent political scene that involved much risk and whose changes ultimately had national significance.

 | The Lives of the Noble Grecians & Romans by Arthur Hugh Clough, John Dryden
Plutarch's Parallel Lives , written at the beginning of the second century A.D., form a brilliant social history of the ancient world. They were originally presented in a series of books that gave an account of one Greek and one Roman life, followed by a comparison of the two: Theseus and Romulus, Alicbiades and Coriolanus, Demosthenes and Cicero, Demetrius and Antony. Plutarch was interested in the personalities of his subjects and on the way their characters molded their actions, leading them to tragedy or victory. AUTHOR: Arthur Hugh Clough, John Dryden

 | Catastrophe by Carl Limbacher, Christopher Ruddy
Catastrophe begins on January 20,1993 when William Jefferson Clinton took the oath of office, swearing to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic and chronicles the next 8 years leading to the events of September 11, 2001. This book demonstrates that the events of September 11 were not only predictable after eight years of Clinton, they were also preventable. Catastrophe exposes what really happened during the Clinton years, and how Bill Clinton and his administration sysematically undermined America`s national security by emasculating the U.S. military and nations intelligence agencies. Bill Clinton made America vulnerable to attack. Great dangers still threaten us. But to prepare for them we must understand how they were caused. Only then can we take the appropriate measures to ensure America`s security. AUTHOR: Carl Limbacher, Christopher Ruddy
