THIRTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ NOVEMBER 4, 2018

If you are interested in history, you may find something on this list that you will enjoy.

History

Mark Bowden’s Huê 1968 (Atlantic Monthly, 2017) recounts a key battle of the Vietnam War.

Christopher Knowlton’s Cattle Kingdom: The Hidden History of the Cowboy West (Houghton Mifflin Har-court, 2017) is a colorful account of cattle ranching in 19th-century Wyoming. During its brief boom days, Cheyanne became “one of those haunts of the wealthy, like Florence or Capri in Italy, … Nice on the French Riviera or the hill stations of India, where the … idle rich indulged in their privileged lifestyle,” and where cattlemen “were dressing for dinner in black tie, smoking Cuban cigars, and quaffing French champagne and grand cru vintages.”

Huw Lewis-Jones and Kari Herbert’s Explorers’ Sketchbooks (Chronicle, 2017) covers seventy ad-venturers through their illustrated diaries.

Charlie English’s The Storied City (Riverhead, 2017) tells of fabled Timbuktu in Mali.

Daniel Mark Epstein’s The Loyal Son: The War in Ben Franklin’s House (Ballantine, 2017) is about William Franklin, a governor of New Jersey and British loyal-ist who was jailed during the Revolution and later moved to England.

Willard Sterne Randall’s Unshackling America: How the War of 1812 Truly Ended the American Revolution(St. Martin’s, 2017) covers the war many Americans know little about.

Odd Arne Westad’s The Cold War: A World History (Basic Books, 2017) makes extensive use of foreign archives.

Anne Applebaum’s Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine (Doubleday, 2017) tells how the Soviet dic-tator’s policies led to the starvation of millions.

Anne Nelson’s Suzanne’s Children (Simon & Schuster, 2017) recounts how Belgian heiress Suzanne Spaak worked with resistance colleagues to save hundreds of Jewish children from deportation to Auschwitz. One of her tactics was to go to confession and ask the priest to tell her which families might be willing to harbor these children. After one operation that saved 63 orphans, she was arrested by the Nazis and executed on 8-12-1944.

Victor Davis Hanson’s The Second World Wars (Basic, 2017) examines some little-covered events, includ-ing Japan’s 1937 invasion of China.

(continued above)

Keith Lowe’s The Fear and the Freedom (St. Martin’s, 2017) looks at WW II’s massive world impact.

Ben Hughes’s Apocalypse 1692 (Westholme, 2017) tells of the earthquake that destroyed Port Royal, then Jamaica’s capital. It also covers the colony’s aw-ful slave trade. One reviewer, Fergus M. Bordewich, noted that after the catastrophe the corpses of the rich “were intermingled with those of their slaves in a scene of mortal equality for which there had been no place in the island’s life.”

Laura Spinney’s Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World (PublicAffairs, 2017) describes the epidemic that killed 50 to 100 million. Although Spain’s King Alfonso XIII was one of the first to be stricken and two-thirds of Madrid’s popu-lation caught the flu, its origin is still uncertain. Vari-ous speculations identify a British mobilization base in northern France; the U.S.’s staging base at Camp Funston, Kansas; and China, where a similar out-break erupted in 1910, as the plague’s place of origin. Spinney’s descriptions are intense: Victims “would soon be having trouble breathing,” then “Two mahogany spots appeared over their cheek-bones, and within a few hours that colour had flushed their faces from ear to ear.” Teeth and hair would fall out, delirium might ensue, and doomed people turned blue. Then “Blue darkened to black. The black first appeared at the extremities—the hands and feet, including the nails—stole up the limbs and eventually infused the abdomen and torso. As long as you were conscious … you watched death enter at your fingertips and fill you up.” (The book is a strong reminder not to neglect getting this year’s flu shot.)

Omer Bartov’s Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (Simon & Schuster, 2018) recounts how the Holocaust struck a town in the Galicia region of Ukraine.

Javier Cercas’s The Imposter: A True Story (Knopf, 2018) is about Spaniard Enric Marco, who pretend-ed to be a Holocaust survivor. Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist who won the 2010 Nobel Prize for Literature, reviewing this book, remarked that “All of us … dream of being someone else, of escap-ing the narrow confines within which we live our lives. That’s why fictions—novels, films, plays, oper-as, television series, etc.—exist: to satisfy vicariously the hunger for unreality that dwells within us and makes us dream of better or worse lives than the ones we are obliged to live.”

“THANKS-GIVING” A DISTINCTIVE MEANING

Catholic Charities donations bin. Please note that in addition to all forms of used clothing we also welcome

small appliances, shoes, linens, sheets, towels, stuffed

animals, novels and children’s books. Happy “Thanks-

for giving.”
