Sinopse

Wolfpacks in the West: The U-Boat War against the U.S.An untold chapter of World War II unfolds beneath the waves of the Atlantic…In early 1942, as America reeled from the shock of Pearl Harbor, a new and deadly threat emerged just off its shores. German U-boats—lethal, stealthy, and commanded by some of the Kriegsmarine’s most skilled officers—launched a devastating submarine campaign against the United States. From the icy waters of Newfoundland to the warm currents of the Gulf of America, coastal cities burned, tankers exploded, and merchant seamen vanished into the deep.Wolfpacks in the West tells the gripping and meticulously researched story of the German U-boat war against the U.S. homeland—an often-overlooked theater of the Battle of the Atlantic. Through 40 rich, immersive chapters, the book explores daring patrols by elite German crews, the chaos and complacency of early American defenses, the brutal evolution of anti-submarine warfare, and the human cost on both sides of the periscope.Drawing on wartime records, survivor accounts, declassified intelligence, and modern underwater archaeology, this narrative brings to life not just the battles, but the strategies, innovations, and shifting tides that shaped one of the most dangerous campaigns of the Second World War. From Enigma codes and hunter-killer groups to sunken wrecks and postwar reconciliation, this is a sweeping chronicle of courage, tragedy, and transformation.A tribute to sailors above and below the waves, Wolfpacks in the West is a must-read for anyone interested in naval history, WWII, or the power of the sea to both divide and unite.

    In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. 
     
     
     
    A little before 7 A.M., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City's east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road. 
     
     
     
    By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

    "How is it possible to recover and love the world again when you have lived through the worst? "On the night of September 5, 1990, my two children, Lucie and Sylvain, were murdered by their own father. Faced with such a tragedy, I could have killed myself, but I chose life. Like many mothers, I believed that I could never live without my children. And yet... today, I am no longer ashamed to be alive. Surviving hell is possible.
    "There is not a word in the dictionary that is good enough to define the nothingness in which I and my family found ourselves."
    "To fill this gap, I decided to write my story.  How can you survive the death of your children? I hope that my testimony will help you, dear reader, to understand the pain of the victims and perhaps one day to overcome it."
    In this extraordinary story, of rare humanity, Patricia Oddo finds the strength to live for her children, to fall in love, to be a mother again, to speak without taboo about this tragedy that struck her children, and to mourn this tragedy thirty years later.
