  Picture this: A young, bright girl in Paris goes undercover to deliver the crucial intelligence that will single-handedly stop the production of Nazi superweapons and spare the lives of thousands. 
  Jeannie Rousseau appeared to be just a highly educated girl, fluent in five languages, graduating at the top of her class at the elite university, the Paris Institute of Political Sciences. She had no idea she would become one of the most amazing women in WWII. When the German troops invaded France, Rousseau fought back — using nothing other than her gifted mind. 
  If you are moved by true stories of women-empowered espionage full of soul-stirring historical context, then Killer Memory is a story you need to read. Jeannie Rousseau bravely took on the Gestapo, posing as an ally and sympathizer to extract the highly sensitive, secret plans of the Nazi party. Using her exceptional photographic memory and flawless German, Rousseau kept an extraordinary record of classified German operations. 
  Working as an official liaison and translator for the Nazi occupiers, Rousseau gained their trust and evolved into an amateur spy. After a close call with the Gestapo, Rousseau had a chance encounter with an old friend that would change her life forever. 
  Working closely with the Nazi party, Rousseau was bestowed with invaluable information, including details of the V-2 rockets, the Nazis’ new superweapons. Rousseau’s spy work paid off. Through her infiltration, the development of the superweapons was significantly delayed and thousands of lives were spared. 
  Dive deep into a compelling history lesson as you discover the birth of espionage, the moments leading up to the Second World War, and how these elements combined to create one of the best spy stories in history. 
  Killer Memory is part of the greater series, Remarkable Women in War, sharing with you the most moving stories of women's empowerment during times of militarism.

  "Laches" is a philosophical dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of courage and the role of education in developing moral virtue. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and two generals, Laches and Nicias, who are both renowned for their military expertise. Socrates begins by questioning Laches and Nicias about their understanding of courage. They both agree that courage involves endurance in the face of danger, but they struggle to define it more precisely. Socrates then challenges their beliefs by asking them to consider whether courage is simply a matter of endurance or whether it also involves knowledge and wisdom. Read in English, unabridged.

  The only place in the United States that Hemingway could really call home after he started writing was the tropical island of Key West. During his decade here in the 1930s, he acquired his famed macho persona as Papa, the biggest Big Daddy of them all. This vivid portrait of Ernest Hemingway's Key West reveals both Hemingway, the writer, and Hemingway, the macho, hard-drinking sportsman. His Key West years turned out to be his most productive: he finished A Farewell to Arms, started For Whom the Bell Tolls, and wrote several other books, including Green Hills of Africa, Death in the Afternoon, and To Have and Have Not. He also turned out some of his best short stories. There was plenty of time left over for eating, drinking, fighting, fishing, chasing women, and hanging out with his circle of friends (known as "the Mob"). Hemingway spent the last years of his life in Cuba, and it was here he overcame several demons—accidents, failing health, depression—to write The Old Man and the Sea, for which he won both a Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize in Literature. 
   
   
   
  This book includes a two-hour walking tour of Key West and a tour of Hemingway's favorite Cuban haunts. It also includes a record of his exploits in Bimini and Cuba. Accompany Hemingway on fishing expeditions in the Gulf Stream aboard his custom-built boat, Pilar. A treat for Hemingway fans!

Alone, starving, freezing at times, and running and hiding for her life, Musia sought refuge in the forest for two years while Holocaust death camps loomed nearby.
