  Jack's Story: A WWII Tank Commander's Journey Through Some of the Greatest Battles in History 
  In Jack's Story, the incredible experiences of Jack Wilson, a young American tank commander, come to life in a gripping memoir. Drawn from Jack's detailed letters, personal accounts, and son's research, this book pulls back the curtain on one of history's most extraordinary times-World War II. 
  As part of the 7th Armored Division, Jack fought in some of the fiercest battles of the European Theater. From the forgotten but heroic stand at St. Vith during the Battle of the Bulge to the final days of Nazi Germany in the Ruhr Pocket, Jack's experiences reveal the courage and resilience of an everyday soldier facing unimaginable odds. Jack's Story provides a unique look at these historical events, often overshadowed in the telling of WWII history. 
  Jack's Story is not just a tale of battles and strategy. It's a profoundly human narrative about love, loss, and resilience. Jack's letters home, filled with emotion and hope, offer a window into the heart of a soldier, far from home but determined to survive and return to his family. The book also weaves in glimpses of life during and after the war, from the vibrant streets of 1940s New York City to the bombed-out ruins of the French countryside and the beauty of Paris and Reims after liberation. 
  Beautifully written, Jack's Story is a tribute to a father's wartime experience and a rich, exciting account of history told through the eyes of someone who lived it. Readers will be transported back to the front lines, experiencing the sights, sounds, and raw emotions of a tank commander fighting in some of World War II's most pivotal moments.

  Since its founding in 1995, the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, has regained the majority of the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Under Vladimir Putin, who served as FSB director just before becoming president, the agency has grown to be one of the most powerful and favored organizations in Russia. The FSB not only conducts internal security but also has primacy in intelligence operations in former Soviet states. Their activities include anti-dissident operations at home and abroad, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations of crimes against the state, and guarding Russia's borders. 
   
   
   
  In The Russian FSB, Kevin P. Riehle provides a brief history of the FSB's origins, placed within the context of Russian history, the government's power structure, and Russia's wider culture. He describes how the FSB's mindset and priorities show continuities from the tsarist regimes and the Soviet era. The book's chapters analyze origins, organizational structure, missions, leaders, international partners, and cultural representations such as the FSB in film and television. 
   
   
   
  Based on both English and Russian sources, this book is a well-researched introduction to understanding the FSB and its central role in Putin's Russia.
