|  | The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, Clinton Rossiter, Garry Wills, James Madison, Jim Killavey
The essays by Hamilton and Madison that are known collectively as the Federalist Papers comprise one of the most-studied and most-revered texts in American political writing. Written as essays in favor of the ratification of the Constitution, they provide a living guide that broadens the statements in the Constitution, and they initiate many of the debates regarding government and citizenship that were to shape America throughout its history. This is history at its finest. AUTHOR: Alexander Hamilton, Clinton Rossiter, Garry Wills, James Madison, Jim Killavey

 | The Wilkomirski Affair by Stefan Maechler
When Binjamin Wilkomirski published his memoir, FRAGMENTS, in 1995, it was hailed as a brilliant and unflinching account of Holocaust-era torture at the hands of the Nazi machine from the point of view of one who was but a child when the events occurred. His memoir created a critical sensation, and was compared to the works of Primo Levi and Anne Frank. However, scholarship has subsequently uncovered many flaws in his document. THE WILKOMIRSKI AFFAIR discusses the memoir in light of the fact that it may be riddled with inaccuracies. In so doing, it wrestles with many issues of Holocaust studies. AUTHOR: Stefan Maechler
