Books
America’s Digital Army: Games at Work and War
Robert Allen
Praise from Air and Space Power Journal:
“I found the book profound in its anthropological discussion… a fascinating start to studying the military’s use of dual-reality (both actual and virtual) systems to train soldiers or to aid them in combat.”
The Modoc War: A Story of Genocide at the Dawn of America’s Gilded Age
Robert Aquinas McNally
Praise from California History:
“The Modoc War is a devastating history of defiant indigenous resistance during the Gilded Age of the nineteenth century. McNally’s fast-paced, blow-by-blow account… shines a mirror at us, demanding a reckoning for the demographic and cultural genocide that occurred in the Klamath Basin and across the American West.”
Mimi Schwartz
Book featured in New Jersey Jewish News:
“…the language and structure of Schwartz’s essays hew more closely to those of literature than of nonfiction.”
The Heart of Torah: Essays on the Weekly Torah Portion
Rabbi Shai Held
Review in America Magazine:
“There is no armchair loving possible, according to the Bible. Love is supposed to have an object, and clear action. That is a lesson we all could learn.”
Playing in Isolation: A History of Baseball in Taiwan
Junwei Yu
Review in Bookish Asia:
“…gripping reading. The author adds engaging personal elements and information from his own involvement in baseball and draws on an enormous number of sources. Playing in Isolation is both comprehensive and fascinating.”
The Woman Who Fought an Empire: Sarah Aaronsohn and her Nili Spy Ring
Gregory J. Wallance
Review in STL Jewish Light:
“Basing a book of this type on primary documents gives the narrative the feel of journalism, which brings it to life on the page.”
Melissa Fraterrigo
Review in Story South:
“The characters in Glory Days are flawed, their thinking is flawed, and yet it is impossible not to empathize with them.”
