HISTORY
Hoax Hitler's Diaries, Lincoln's Assassins, and Other Famous Frauds
By Edward Steers and Joe Nickell An investigation into the conspiracies that shape our history, and the disturbing reason why we believe them. Hoax examines the legitimacy of the Shroud of Turin and the discovery of fossils confirming humanity's "missing link," the Piltdown Man. It exmaines the forged Hitler diaries and the "Oath of a Freeman," as well as conspiracy theories alleging that Franklin D. Roosevelt had prior knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor and that the details of Lincoln's assassination are recorded in missing pages from John Wilkes Booth's journal.

National Development in Romania and Southeastern Europe Edited by Paul E. Michelson, Kurt W. Treptow, Ernest H. Latham, Dennis Deletant and Radu R. Florescu A collection of studies reflecting the range of Cornelia Bodea’s work on Romanian national development, cultural legacy, and diplomatic history. Cornelia Bodea’s work on Romanian history and culture is vast. It ranges from an effort to elucidate the image of Napoleon, as seen by Polish participants in Napoleon's failed Russia invasion to an illuminating study on British cultural policy in Romania, post-World War II Romanian-American relations. Known for combining discovery and elaboration of apparently small, but significant details along with important documentary and other resource material, this book is an ode to her exceptional work.
