Attack the Lusitania!
1915: A U-boat swiftly slips away as a torpedoed freighter sinks into the cold Atlantic, muffling the anguished cries of its burning crew. As war escalates around the world, Germany has shocked mankind by firing on civilian as well as military targets, including the doomed American cargo ship. Amid the international chaos, duty calls Bill Shafer from his humble home in Liverpool, and business draws Everett Stringham from his comfortable life in the United States. Their paths cross aboard the pride of the British fleet, the luxury cruise liner R.M.S. Lusitania... Life and Death at Hoover Dam
It’s 1931 and men are desperate for jobs. A lucky few will get to work in the searing heat of the Nevada desert on the massive Hoover Dam, the single largest public works project in history. Their goal is to tame the mighty Colorado River with a dam that towers sixty stories high from the base of the canyon to the crest of the dam. These men endured choking on gasoline fumes in five-story tunnels that exceeded 120 degrees and dangling by slender cables from the thousand foot walls of the canyon to blast the loose rock and gravel into oblivion. And together they’ll fight the river with all their might, and perhaps their lives...Stories from the Life of Porter Rockwell, with John W. Rockwell
When Orrin Porter Rockwell died in 1878, he was as well known as Brigham Young. Cowboys sang songs
about him, and newspapers had frequently printed scandalous accounts about the malicious Mormon
destroying angel. But to many, Rockwell was a guardian angel and saved far more lives than he took. History
tells two contrasting narratives about one of the West's most controversial men. One Last Chance
Artie Call can't get a break. Orphaned during the Depression, he steals food to survive. When mischief lands
him in juvenile court, he's offered a home by fellow ward member David Boone, but then suffers under
Boone's unkind and unyielding treatment. And after Artie helps the victim of a robbery gone bad, he's
abandoned by Boone and is almost sentenced to juvenile hall. Then his luck and life suddenly change.Home Again At Last

pinnacle of its power. But now, with the Americans drawn into the monumental conflict, a critical turning point

to fighting against the Germans and Italians in North Africa .As Time Goes By- Battle of Britain

But convictions can change.'Til the Boys Come Home
At fifteen, Danny O'Brian dreams of being something different than what his union-leader father has
