How history's only five-star admirals triumphed in World War II and made the United States the world's dominant sea power. Only four men in American history have been promoted to the five-star rank of Admiral of the Fleet: William Leahy, Ernest King, Chester Nimitz, and William Halsey. These four men were the best and the brightest the navy produced, and together they led the U.S. navy to victory in World War II, establishing the United States as the world's greatest fleet. In THE ADMIRALS, award-winning historian Walter R. Borneman tells their story in full detail for the first time. Drawing upon journals, ship logs, and other primary sources, he brings an incredible historical moment to life, showing us how the four admirals revolutionized naval warfare forever with submarines and aircraft carriers, and how these men-who were both friends and rivals-worked together to ensure that the Axis fleets lay destroyed on the ocean floor at the end of World War II.

In The Proving Ground, Lars Anderson brings to life the tremendous drama of NFL Europe by spending an entire season with the Scottish Claymores of Glasgow Life in the minor leagues of football, which NFL Europe was aptly dubbed, could be funny, sad, profound and ludicrous all at the same time. At its heart, this six-team league was a short-stop away from either the glamour of the NFL or the bottom of the professional football scrap pile--a crossroads full of real-life drama where the joy of "making it" was tempered by failure or injury with one misstep; where the difference between a multimillion dollar NFL contract and abject poverty may only be one play away. Just ask Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner. Author Lars Anderson brings to life the compelling drama of NFL Europe by spending a season with the Scottish Claymores. Anderson lived with the players at a hotel in Glasgow, Scotland, spending every waking minute with them-eating and heading out to the pubs as the Claymores made their championship run. Along with detailing the life and times of the Claymores, Anderson digs deep into the background of the players and coaches to help explain why some succeed and others fail in their quest to make it to that shining city on the hill--the NFL. Through the eyes of Anderson, the reader experiences what it meant and what it was like to be a football player in Europe. The men that make up the Claymores are the strength of this book-a funny and complex lot that face many of the same issues we tackle every day. An inspiring portrait of both new beginnings and bitter ends, The Proving Ground will shock and delight readers, while showing them another side of the professional football player. Of The Proving Ground, Frank Deford, award-winning author and commentator, says "Anderson deftly shows that you can take the football player out of America, but... he's the same creature, loving the game and scrambling for one more chance."

It is 1986 in Connecticut and the great renaissance of minor league baseball is in full swing. Shakespeare (Shake) Louis Glover is managing the New Britain Kingsmen, a Double-A team in the Eastern League. Shake, who is named after the Bard and Lou Gehrig, embodies the harmony that is Shakespeare and baseball. As a new season begins, Shake knows there is no other place in the world hed rather be. As the crack of the bat echoes throughout the ballpark, great characters and themes of Shakespeare begin to emerge from the shadows. Rex Lyon, the volatile owner of the Kingsmen, disowns his daughters in Lear-like fashion only to find reconciliation at his tragic end. Second baseman Dane Hamilton, who is seemingly Hamlet reincarnated, broods while learning a secret about his father that changes his life. Hank Prince is a player with great potential who would rather hang out with his Falstaff-buddy than assume the greatness bestowed upon him. Even though the Kingsmen are an excellent team with top prospects, now only time will tell if they have what it takes to be champions. A Midsummer Madness follows a Double-A baseball team as the themes and poetry of Shakespeare blend with the dirt and grass of baseball to create a tragic-comic tale.
