 | My Life & Loves by Frank Harris, John F. Gallagher
A punch in the face of the puritanism and conservatism he raged against, My Life and Loves is the highly-charged erotic autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931), an Irish writer and editor who founded Pearson's Magazine in the United States (1914-1918). When first published, the book elicited hostile criticism because of its blunt and frank detail of Harris's sexual exploits, beginning in his childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare, Harris fought the U.S. government and postal service over the content of his publications -- battles included in My Life and Loves along with Harris's brutally honest, romantically steamy sexual encounters with willing Victorian-age debutantes. My Life and Loves remains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant and provocative as it was when first privately printed in Paris. AUTHOR: Frank Harris, John F. Gallagher

 | Soul of Battle by Victor David Hanson
A classicist examines three historic military marches: Epaminonda's march against Sparta; Sherman's march to the sea in the American Civil War; and Patton's race to the Rhine during World War II. He argues against conventional historical readings of the means by which the general achieved their ends. Hanson draws the lesson that, in the cause of democracy, bold military leadership can bring good results. AUTHOR: Victor David Hanson
