 | Anne Frank by Malcah Zeldis, Yona Z. McDonough
A biography of the Jewish girl who spent several years hiding with her family in an attic in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne grew up in incredible circumstances, and lived in constant fear of discovery, but she was also just a regular girl, fascinated with movie stars and starting to develop crushes on boys. This is the sad story of a life ended prematurely by the horrors of anti-Semitism, Hitler, and his Nazi regime. AUTHOR: Malcah Zeldis, Yona Z. McDonough

 | Stoneman at Chancellorsville by Ben F. Fordney
Major General George Stoneman's attack toward Richmond in April 1863 marked a turning point in the Union cavalry's Civil War fighting. As was seen later at Brandy Station, Gettysburg, and other decisive cavalry actions in the East, Brigadier General John Buford, and future Generals Judson Kilpatrick and Wesley Merritt, among others, honed their skills in that raid. Ben Fuller Fordney's Stoneman at Chancellorsville is the first comprehensive history to recognize the full impact of what, until now, was viewed simply as an offshoot of Joseph Hooker's Chancellorsville offensive. Valuable to the Army of the Potomac for both its morale-boosting and experience-gaining-aspects, Stoneman's raid ranks as one of the significant precursors to the turning point of the War in the East. It accomplished much more than hitherto believed, diverting George Pickett and John Bell Hood from where Robert E. Lee most needed them. AUTHOR: Ben F. Fordney
