Heinlein (ISBN: 0312875576) – A collection of Heinlein’s short stories: “Magic, Inc.” (1940); “—And He Built a Crooked House—” (1941); “They” (1941); “Waldo” (1942); “The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag” (1942); “Our Fair City” (1948); “The Man Who Traveled in Elephants” (1957); “All You Zombies—” (1959)
The Berlin-Baghdad Express: The Ottoman Empire and Germany’s Bid for World Power by Sean McMeekin (ISBN: 0674064321) – The Berlin-Baghdad Express tells the fascinating story of how Germany exploited Ottoman pan-Islamism in order to destroy the British Empire, then the largest Islamic power in the world. Meanwhile the Young Turks harnessed themselves to German military might to avenge Turkey’s hereditary enemy, Russia. Told from the perspective of the key decision-makers on the Turco-German side, many of the most consequential events of World War I—Turkey’s entry into the war, Gallipoli, the Armenian massacres, the Arab revolt, and the Russian Revolution—are illuminated as never before.
