Dancing with the Devil
Summary
Seven years ago, newspapers across America called it "the espionage case of the century." While serving a security guard at the American Embassy, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, a Native American marine, fell in love with a beautiful Russian woman and was recruited by a KGB officer posing as her "Uncle Sasha" to become a spy for the Soviet Union. The "sex-for-Secrets Marine Spy Scandal," as it was called by the press, had all the elements of a great novel...but it was a story. As the investigation proceeded, more marines were implicated, but, after a witch-hunt that ruined many reputations and careers, only Lonetree was brought to trial. Rodney Barker reveals information he obtained from KGB officers, as well as U.S. military and intelligence personnel, who raise questions about whether justice was served in Lonetree's trial.

Hiroshima Maidens
Summary
Hiroshima was one of the great tragedies of WWII. But out of the devastation of the first atomic bomb, some survivors emerged - 25 courageous Japanese women who became part of a remarkable humanitarian epic. Victims of the atomic blast that ushered in the Nuclear Age, these women were brought to the United States in 1955, where they underwent reconstructive surgery to repair the ravages of the bomb. Schoolgirls when the bomb destroyed their futures, they began to remake their lives and re-create themselves. This is the compassionate, often bittersweet chronicle of the Hiroshima Maidens. It follows their lives from the terrifying moments of the detonation of the bomb, through their years as outcasts in their own country, to their not always idyllic stay in America, and on to their lives since-some tragic, some heroic, some affectingly ordinary.
