Between 1492 and 1870, approximately eleven million African slaves were carried from Africa to the Americas to work on plantations, in mines, in businesses, or as servants in houses. The Slave Trade is alive with villains and heroes. So many African rulers and peoples willingly collaborated. As the sheer heft of the book might indicate, the story is complicated. One will see the moral ambiguity of how the business of transporting slaves was conducted.

May 2, 2011 marked the completion of a mission that had begun even before the devastating day of September 11, 2001. Death of Osama bin Laden is an informed and sometimes surprising illustrated portrait of Osama bin Laden (the leader of al-Qaeda and a secretive world), and America’s efforts to find him and track him down. The author Clifford Roberts has researched bin Laden's life story and provide context (and, more important, truth) to his odd, winding biography. One may come to know, (if not necessarily understand,) Osama bin Laden: his rage, his insecurity, his narcissism and his deep well of hatred for the United States, or for that matter, the world. The mission was to kill this most wanted man in the world—an operation of such magnitude that it couldn’t be handled by a military or intelligence force. The best the United States had to offer was needed. As such, the task was handed to roughly forty members of America’s super-secret counterterrorist group formerly known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta; more popularly, the elite and mysterious unit Delta Force.

Between 1882 and 1944 at least 3,417 African-Americans were lynched in the United States, an average of slightly more than one a week. It was not until 1952 that, a full year went by without a reported racial lynching. Covering the South’s resistance to racial equality from Reconstruction and the 1875 Civil Rights Act (which gave rise to the widespread acceptance of public murders) through the mid-20th century, this prodigiously researched, tightly written and compelling history of the lynching of African-Americans examines the social background behind the horrific acts. While there is much shocking material here the 1918 lynching and disembowelment of eight-month-pregnant Mary Turner; California governor James Rolph Jr.’s 1933 statement that lynching was “a fine lesson for the whole nation” Here you will find the underlying sexual impulse of most lynchings head-on and shows how, in the 1913 lynching of Leo Frank, the fear of blacks was transferred to a Jewish victim. This violent “justice,” meted out “at the hands of persons unknown” (with, therefore, no possibility of attaching guilt to the perpetrators, though, as this searing expose points out, such seemingly spontaneous events required organization and planning) held African American communities in terror and was one force behind the exodus of black southerners to the north in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This explicates why the feminist-run Women’s Christian Temperance Union refused to speak out against lynching, or why FDR refused to endorse anti-lynching legislation in the 1930s, this balances moral indignation with a sound understanding of history and politics. The result is vital, hard-hitting cultural history.
