Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Alden Graves
A collection of non-fiction pieces by the author of The Lost City of Z. Mr. Grann's subjects are many and varied, from baseball to prison gangs to the hunt for the giant squid. Written with a fine sense for the textures of his different topics, from undercurrents of outrage to a keen perception of the foibles of human nature.

The 1979-81 Iran hostage crisis through the eyes of Canadian Ambassador Kenneth Taylor, who protected six Americans not at the embassy the day of the takeover. Outstanding historical and political analysis wrapped in a dangerous exploit, based on recently declassified documents and interviews.

Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Bill Lewis
The expulsion of the Cherokees from their ancestral homeland was nothing short of criminal and immoral in every sense. This insightful and splendidly written account tells John Ross's story as he mounted a desperate, principled, and ultimately ineffective campaign to stave off tragedy. Riveting.

Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Bill Lewis
An astonishing story of suffering and mortality that rivals Andersonville in scale and casts a very disturbing light on British attitudes toward Americans. It powerfully examines the universal human capacity for inhumanity. On a lighter note: you're gonna love Ethan Allen! Highest recommendation.
