 | The Holocaust on Trial by D. Guttenplan
D. D. Guttenplan's THE HOLOCAUST ON TRIAL is a bristling courtroom drama where the meaning of history is questioned. The plaintiff is British author David Irving, one of the world's preeminent military historians whose works are considered essential World War II scholarship and whose biographies of leading Nazi figures have been bestsellers. Irving refuses to admit to Hitler's responsibility in the extermination of European Jewry, replying that the Holocaust as we know it never happened. The defendant is Deborah Lipstadt, who blew the whistle on Irving, calling him one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial. Irving sued for libel, and under English law, it was up to Lipstadt to prove the truth of her writings, and the falseness of Irving's views. 4 pages of b/w photographs. AUTHOR: D. Guttenplan

 | Stormchaser by David Toomey
In September 1955, Navy Lieutenant Commander Grover B. Windham and a crew of eight flew out of Guantanamo Bay into the eye of Hurricane Jane swirling in the Caribbean: a routine weather reconnaissance mission from which they never returned. In the wake of World War II, the Air Force and the navy had discovered a new civilian arena where daring pilots could test their courage and skill. These Hurricane Hunters flew into raging storm to gauge their strength and predict their paths. Without computer, global positioning, or satellite support, they relied on rudimentary radar systems to locate the hurricane's eye and estimated the drift of their aircraft by looking at windblown waves below. Drawing from navy documents and interviews with member so the squadron and relatives of the crews, STORMCHASERS reconstructs the ill-fated mission of Windham's crew from preflight checks to the chilling moment of their final transmission.
