1967 Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay. Terrorism has no boundaries. Anyone can be a target.Elaine Broun's Carrasco 67' tells the harrowing tale of one man's journey to save his family - and himself. Peter Gray was the golden child of the accounting world. Tall, blonde, blue eyed, and charismatic, he captivated all who crossed his path. After accepting a Managing Partner role with Pradman Industries, Peter quickly and passionately set out to both elevate the firm and conquer the social scene of the elite within the suburb of Carrasco, Uruguay. The subject of terrorism, no thanks to the Tupamaros, was common fodder for the dinner table - Peter's included. Dangerous encounters intermingled with daily living and the reign of terror began. If your family was in imminent danger - and you had no idea where they were - what would you do? Would you fall apart? Give up? Or do everything in your power to keep them safe? The answer determines which side of the line you're on between men and boys. Evil has eyes everywhere. Is someone watching you?

An assassination attempt on Santa Monica Beach. The intended target a retired Judge. So begins a conspiracy that reaches to the foundations of Silicon Beach, a loose affiliation of Inventors, Power Brokers and Moneyed Interests strung along the Southern California Coast from Santa Monica, through Venice, Playa Vista, and beyond. The hardball players of Silicon Beach only value money and power. Accumulated at any cost. Everybody has secrets. Public images must be guarded, private obsessions hidden, those in the way removed. No concern for the broken middle class piling up on Southern California shores, the 'New Homeless' of 21st Century America. Thrust into the middle of this conspiracy, the Judge tries to unravel the connections behind seemly random acts of violence, piece together the players, and take the deadly conspirators down before they add the Judge and his new bride to a growing body count. The Judge is working as fast as he can to figure out the people behind this intricate conspiracy, but the clock is ticking and the body count rising. As he relentlessly pursues answers, he's drawn ever further onto the Boardwalks of Venice Beach, through the bars and private sex clubs of West L.A., and into the swank restaurants of Santa Monica and the yuppie settlement of Playa Vista, pursuing adversaries prepared to kill anyone who gets too close to the secrets buried in Silicon Beach

In this harrowing history of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Paul Ham argues against the use of nuclear weapons, drawing on extensive research and hundreds of interviews to prove that the bombings had little impact on the eventual outcome of the Pacific War. More than 100,000 people were killed instantly by the atomic bombs, mostly women, children, and the elderly. Many hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries later, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness. Yet American leaders claimed the bombs were "our least abhorrent choice"—and still today most people believe they ended the Pacific War and saved millions of American and Japanese lives. In this gripping narrative, Ham demonstrates convincingly that misunderstandings and nationalist fury on both sides led to the use of the bombs. Ham also gives powerful witness to its destruction through the eyes of eighty survivors, from twelve-year-olds forced to work in war factories to wives and children who faced the holocaust alone. Hiroshima Nagasaki presents the grisly unadorned truth about the bombings, blurred for so long by postwar propaganda, and transforms our understanding of one of the defining events of the twentieth century.
