Eli's Promise spans three eras--Nazi-occupied Poland, the American Zone of post-war Germany, and Chicago at the height of the Vietnam War. 1939: Eli Rosen lives with his wife Esther and their young son in the Polish town of Lublin, where his family owns a construction company. As a consequence of the Nazi occupation, Eli's company is Aryanized, appropriated and transferred to Maximilian Poleski-an unprincipled profiteer who peddles favors to Lublin's subjugated residents. An uneasy alliance is formed; Poleski will keep the Rosen family safe if Eli will manage the business. Will Poleski honor his promise or will their relationship end in betrayal and tragedy? 1946: Eli resides with his son in a displaced persons camp in Allied-occupied Germany hoping for a visa to America. His wife has been missing since the war. One man is sneaking around the camps selling illegal visas; might he know what has happened to her? 1965: Eli rents a room in Albany Park, Chicago. He is on a mission. With patience, cunning, and relentless focus, he navigates unfamiliar streets and dangerous political backrooms, searching for the truth. Powerful and emotional, Ronald H. Balson's Eli's Promise is a rich, rewarding novel of World War II and a husband's quest for justice.\"--",2020,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7d7rj1jzmwmc6hm8xs8g4k.jpg?v=37f0e6ac51","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7d7rhq8hsmtknha14hhzb6.png?v=887161e430","LhODUg-:M{ay~qM{t7ofaxRkxtof",0,352,400,"complete",false,true,[20,26],{"id":21,"slug":22,"name":23,"role":24,"bio":25},"01kqxd47j211fbtf5jrm8zswnw","ronald-h-balson-7kch","Ronald H.

A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6pa0fy2z5h4jewrhsmzd58.jpg?v=8fe3a6cc60","LxJa+TRjWCj@_Noef5fQRka}j[az",1998,475,[155],{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[160,161,162,166],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":17},{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":17},91,"Military History","military-history",{"id":167,"name":168,"slug":169,"is_fiction":18},55,"World War I","world-war-i",[],{"pace":130,"complexity":7,"audience":133,"mood":172,"themes":176,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[173,174,175],"informative","reflective","thought-provoking",[],{"id":178,"slug":179,"title":180,"description":181,"primary_cover_url":182,"cover_blurhash":183,"first_publish_year":184,"community_rating_avg":185,"community_rating_count":186,"page_count":15,"authors":187,"genres":196,"series":203,"enrichment":204},"01kwzrfwrm5xq16vceesh1dwkv","the-war-i-finally-won-bpg8","The War I Finally Won","When Ada's clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she's not what her mother said she was--damaged, deranged, crippled mentally as well as physically.

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the \"Angel of Death\" who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel \"Butcher of Lyon\"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled \"Nazi hunters.\" This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor.

After his parents disappear, Johannes becomes the only person aware of Elsa's existence — and the one who holds power over her survival.\n\nChristine Leunens's novel, first published in 2004, is a dark, often unsettling study of self-deception and moral collapse, narrated from inside the mind of a true believer in Nazi ideology.

Plagued by fence sickness, her world changes when she meets Christian Lange, whose German-born parents were wrongfully arrested for un-American activities. Together, they live as prisoners with thousands of other German and Japanese families, but discover that young love can triumph over even the most unjust circumstances. When Emi and her mother are abruptly sent back to Japan, Christian enlists in the US Army, with his sights set on the Pacific front--and a reunion with Emi. Sent away for her safety, Emi lives out the war in a Japanese resort town where many in the foreign community have fled, including both Jews and Nazis. When she overhears a German officer boasting of the men he has murdered in Asia, fate brings Emi back to Leo Hartmann, the son of prominent Austrian Jews, now a refugee in Shanghai--her oldest friend and her first love. Fearing for his life, Emi is determined to find Leo. But will Christian's devotion be strong enough to stop her?

But now, in 1939, the streets of Berlin are draped with red, white, and black flags; her family's fine possessions are hauled away; and they are no longer welcome in the places that once felt like home. Hannah and her best friend, Leo Martin, make a pact: whatever the future has in store for them, they'll meet it together. Hope appears in the form of the SS St. Louis , a transatlantic liner offering Jews safe passage out of Germany. After a frantic search to obtain visas, the Rosenthals and the Martins depart on the luxurious ship bound for Havana. Life on board the St. Louis is like a surreal holiday for the refugees, with masquerade balls, exquisite meals, and polite, respectful service. But soon ominous rumors from Cuba undermine the passengers' fragile sense of safety. From one day to the next, impossible choices are offered, unthinkable sacrifices are made, and the ship that once was their salvation seems likely to become their doom. Seven decades later in New York City, on her twelfth birthday, Anna Rosen receives a strange package from an unknown relative in Cuba, her great-aunt Hannah. Its contents will inspire Anna and her mother to travel to Havana to learn the truth about their family's mysterious and tragic past, a quest that will help Anna understand her place and her purpose in the world. The German Girl sweeps from Berlin at the brink of the Second World War to Cuba on the cusp of revolution, to New York in the wake of September 11, before reaching its deeply moving conclusion in the tumult of present-day Havana.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kx2vddxrtv1e2gt0pva16fvx_6a4f4c087a00a.jpg?v=0e94a89bfd",2016,343,[531],{"id":532,"slug":533,"name":534},"01kx2tamjjdw9h0pnf89ea7tan","armando-lucas-correa-3otk","Armando Lucas Correa",[536,537],{"id":200,"name":201,"slug":202,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},[539],{"id":540,"slug":541,"name":542,"position":543,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqnc3abb2pq8da3xnx6vas8z","null-ecm2",",null,","0.00",{"pace":130,"complexity":7,"audience":133,"mood":545,"themes":547,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[136,135,546],"hopeful",[],{"id":363,"slug":364,"title":365,"description":366,"primary_cover_url":367,"cover_blurhash":368,"first_publish_year":369,"community_rating_avg":286,"community_rating_count":186,"page_count":370,"authors":549,"genres":551,"series":555,"enrichment":556},[550],{"id":373,"slug":374,"name":375},[552,553,554],{"id":266,"name":267,"slug":268,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":335,"complexity":7,"audience":133,"mood":557,"themes":558,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[383,135],[],{"key":560,"params":561,"works":562},"genre_mood",{"genre":38,"mood":135},[563,603,636,674,702,717],{"id":564,"slug":565,"title":566,"description":567,"primary_cover_url":568,"cover_blurhash":569,"first_publish_year":570,"community_rating_avg":571,"community_rating_count":132,"page_count":572,"authors":573,"genres":578,"series":596,"enrichment":597},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good.

Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City tells the story of the men who built it, centered on architect Daniel Burnham, who battled financial setbacks, engineering failures, and the death of his design partner to raise the \"White City\" from a swampy park in barely two years.\n\nRunning alongside that story is a darker one. H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",5,[614],{"id":615,"slug":616,"name":617},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[619,620,621,622,623,627],{"id":426,"name":427,"slug":428,"is_fiction":17},{"id":200,"name":201,"slug":202,"is_fiction":18},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":17},{"id":430,"name":431,"slug":432,"is_fiction":17},{"id":624,"name":625,"slug":626,"is_fiction":17},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":628,"name":629,"slug":630,"is_fiction":17},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":335,"complexity":7,"audience":133,"mood":633,"themes":634,"setting_period":7,"summary":635,"content_warnings":7},[247,135],[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.
