Snakebite: Blacktop Ballads and Fugitive Songs $8.85 Like that of many artists who came of age in the ’80s, Stan Ridgway’s career has often been unfairly haunted by an endless groove of MTV overexposure that’s turned perceptions of his music into something akin to a skipping record. Indeed, the veteran L.A. singer-songwriter once groused he’d likely spend his twilight years onstage in a newly liberated Havana casino lounge, crooning “Mexican Radio” … |

Ghost Soldiers by Sides, Hampton Edition ILL, 0 $13.99 On January 28, 1945, 121 hand-selected U.S. troops slipped behind enemy lines in the Philippines. Their mission: March thirty rugged miles to rescue 513 POWs languishing in a hellish camp, among them the last survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March. A recent prison massacre by Japanese soldiers elsewhere in the Philippines made the stakes impossibly high and left little time to plan the complex operation.In Ghost Soldiers Hampton Sides vividly re-creates this daring raid, offering a minute-by-minute narration that unfolds alongside intimate portraits of the prisoners and their lives in the camp. Sides shows how the POWs banded together to survive, defying the Japanese authorities even as they endured starvation, tropical diseases, and torture. Harrowing, poignant, and inspiring, Ghost Soldiers is the mesmerizing story of a remarkable mission. It is also a testament to the human spirit, an account of enormous bravery and self-sacrifice amid the most trying conditions. |

Ghost Soldiers by Sides, Hampton Edition ILL, 1 $13.99 A tense, powerful, grand account of one of the most daring exploits of World War II.On January 28, 1945, 121 hand-selected troops from the elite U.S. Army 6th Ranger Battalion slipped behind enemy lines in the Philippines. Their mission: March thirty miles in an attempt to rescue 513 American and British POWs who had spent three years in a surreally hellish camp near the city of Cabanatuan. The prisoners included the last survivors of the Bataan Death March left in the camp, and their extraordinary will to live might soon count for nothing—elsewhere in the Philippines, the Japanese Army had already executed American prisoners as it retreated from the advancing U.S. Army. As the Rangers stealthily moved through enemy-occupied territory, they learned that Cabanatuan had become a major transshipment point for the Japanese retreat, and instead of facing the few dozen prison guards, they could possibly confront as many as 8,000 battle-hardened enemy troops.Hampton Sides’s vivid minute-by-minute narration of the raid and his chronicle of the prisoners’ wrenching experiences are masterful. But Ghost Soldiers is far more than a thrilling battle saga. Hampton Sides explores the mystery of human behavior under extreme duress—the resilience of the prisoners, who defied the Japanese authorities even as they endured starvation, tropical diseases, and unspeakable tortures; the violent cultural clashes with Japanese guards and soldiers steeped in the warrior ethic of Bushido; the remarkable heroism of the Rangers and Filipino guerrillas; the complex motivations of the U.S. high command, some of whom could justly be charged with abandoning the men of Bataan in 1942; and the nearly suicidal bravado of several spies, including priests and a cabaret owner, who risked their lives to help the prisoners during their long ordeal.At once a gripping depiction of men at war and a compelling story of redemption, Ghost Soldiers joins such landmark books as Flags of Our Fathers, The Greatest Generation, The Rape of Nanking, and D-Day in preserving the legacy of World War II for future generations. |

The Ghost Soldiers by Tate, James Edition , 0 $13.49 Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Tate returns with his fifteenth book of poetry, an exciting new collection that offers nearly one hundred fresh and thought-provoking pieces that embody Tate’s trademark style and voice: his accessibility, his dark humor, and his exquisite sense of the absurd. Tate’s work is stark–he writes in clear, everyday language–yet his seemingly simple and macabre stories are layered with broad and trenchant meaning. His characters are often lost or confused, his settings bizarre, his scenarios brilliantly surreal. Opaque, inscrutable people float through a dreamlike world where nothing is as it seems. The Ghost Soldiers offers resounding proof, once again, that Tate stands alone in American poetry. |

Ghost Soldiers by Tate, James Edition , 0 $16.49 In this, his fifteenth collection of poetry, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Tate continues doing what he does best. His poems are evocative, provocative, funny, subtle, eccentric, occasionally disturbing, and wildly outrageous. Tate′s surrealist style strikes its own utterly new and original note in American poetry; as Charles Simic has observed, "To write a poem out of nothng at all is Tate′s genius…Just about anything can happen next in this kind of poetry and that is its attraction…He makes me think that anti-poetry is the best friend poetry ever had."Father′s DayMy daughter has lived overseas for a numberof years now. She married into royalty, and theywon′t let her communicate with any of her family orfriends. She lives on birdseed and a few sipsof water. She dreams of me constantly. Her husband,the Prince, whips her when he catches her dreaming.Fierce guard dogs won′t let her out of their sight.I hired a detective, but he was killed trying torescue her. I have written hundreds of lettersto the State Department. They have written backsaying that they are aware of the situation. Inever saw her dance. I was always away at someconvention. I never saw her sing. I was alwaysworking late. I called her My Princess, to makeup for my shortcomings, and she never forgave me.Birdseed was her middle name. |
