  Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days. 
   
   
   
  After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force. 
   
   
   
  He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra "one torpedo for one ship" proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation. 
   
   
   
  His nickname "Silent Otto" referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.

His delivery is impassioned, impossible to ignore...impossible to turn off." —AudioFileFrom the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration.Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans’   most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don’t know is that JFK’s historic presidency almost ended before it began—at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy’s election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car—a parked Buick—on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect’s schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan—one that could’ve changed the course of history.Written in the gripping style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch’s bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could’ve been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.

  Tiwanaku - The Mysterious...

  The ancient ruins of Tiwanaku have fascinated explorers, scholars, and travelers for centuries. Nestled on the altiplano of Bolivia near the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Tiwanaku has been a site of mystery and intrigue since its rediscovery by European chroniclers. However, long before outsiders arrived, indigenous Andean communities revered the site as a sacred place, connecting it to their ancestors and the origins of civilization in the region. 
  Spanish chroniclers in the sixteenth century were among the first Europeans to record accounts of Tiwanaku. Conquistadors like Pedro Cieza de León described the ruins with awe, noting the massive stone blocks and intricate carvings scattered across the landscape. They speculated that such a monumental city could not have been built by the indigenous people they encountered, leading to myths of lost civilizations and supernatural origins. Some even believed that Tiwanaku predated the Great Flood, a theory influenced by biblical narratives. These early interpretations, though often misguided, helped cement Tiwanaku’s reputation as one of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the Americas. 
  During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, explorers and archaeologists began conducting more systematic investigations of Tiwanaku. Travelers such as Ephraim Squier and Arthur Posnansky documented the ruins extensively, producing sketches and maps that revealed the scale and complexity of the site. Posnansky, in particular, developed theories suggesting that Tiwanaku was over ten thousand years old, arguing that its architectural alignments reflected advanced astronomical knowledge. Though modern research has debunked these extreme claims, his work brought significant attention to Tiwanaku and laid the groundwork for future archaeological studies.
