The USA was still reeling from 911 when terrorism struck the University of Iowa. The unfolding crisis brings together a strange cast of characters: a grieving hospital chaplain, a Vietnam War vet with dark secrets, a transplanted New York teen, a high school teacher, a brilliant California grad student, a research scientist, a tough Chicago FBI agent, a heroic black Lab and a glass of milk. The action ricochets between West Branch and Iowa City, Iowa. Hundreds of lives are at risk. Iowa's back roads carry death to the University of Iowa campus. Terror visits the heartland.

A Brief Account of the Life was published in 1810 and focuses on White's struggle to win ordination as a Methodist preacher. Shortly after White's conversion in 1805, he dreams vividly of hell and "the torments of the damned; out of whose mouths and nostrils issued flames of fire" (pp. 9-10). In his dream, the guide who shows White the various features of hell tells him to "Go, and declare what you have seen"; instructions that make him believe he should become a preacher (p. 10). White applies to become an exhorter but is initially rejected because of his "inability and ignorance," lacking "even the knowledge of the English alphabet," and because he speaks in a "broken way . . . of Christ, and his love to sinners" (p. 11). In July 1805, three months after his initial application, White is given a "license to exhort" and begins his work as an itinerant preacher on Long Island, in New York City and in upper New Jersey (p. 12). White converts many with his preaching, and he also believes that his preaching sanctifies him. During a meeting in his own house, White falls "prostrate upon the floor, like one dead" and obtains "a spiritual view of the heavenly hosts surrounding the eternal throne, giving glory to God and the Lamb; with whom, all my ransomed powers seemed to unite, in symponious strains of divine adoration" (p. 14). This powerful spiritual experience creates in White a desire to read the scriptures himself, and he employs his sixteen-year-old daughter as a teacher. White makes great progress but can only learn to read from the Bible. His daughter can "learn me nothing from the common spelling book; no, not so much as the alphabet; for my mind was so perfectly taken up with the notion of reading the bible, that I could think of nothing else" (p. 15). After learning to read, White receives another spiritual prompting that instructs him to become a preacher, and he applies for a license. Despite White's success in converting large crowds, he is denied a license five times before he is finally accepted. When White asks the elders who review his application "if they were dissatisfied with the discourse I had delivered" and "if there was anything exceptionable in my character," they reply in the negative; White is never given reasons for his rejections, but scholarship shows that even in the relatively democratic Methodist Church, African Americans were rarely given leadership positions in the early nineteenth century (p. 24). White eventually obtains his preaching license and a congregation, where his ministry fuels dynamic religious growth. The Account concludes with a sermon he preached at the funeral of a woman named Mary Henery-who may have been a relative of his wife of the same name. Zachary Hutchins

On January 26, 2012, the lives of George and Susan White were suddenly turned upside when Susan awoke with horrifying stomach pain. After being rushed to the emergency room, Susan learned that gallstones had become trapped in her bile duct. In a matter of hours, Georges wife had transformed from a perfectly healthy woman to a hospital patient struggling to survive. In this memoir, George shares details from the roller-coaster journey he and his wife began that January morning. Susan contracted pancreatitis and began to suffer from serious complications that kept her in various hospitals for months to come. As George documents an experience that was both stressful and rewarding, he offers a glimpse into both the difficult times they faced during Susans illness and the comforting moments fueled by love and generosity from friends and family. As Susan slowly began to recover, George chronicles how both he and his wife changed their outlooks on life and became more grateful for everything. Susan: The Story of a Miracle is an inspirational personal story of hope, faith, family, and friends as a husband and wife bravely face a health scare together and discover that miracles really do happen.

The rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union intensified as Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the White House. However, the burning question for the vast majority of the world''s population was not whether they would join the \"Free World\" or the Soviet bloc, but whether they could achieve meaningful self-determination. Nowhere did the answer to that question loom larger than in Africa. The Eisenhower administration''s confrontation with Africa demonstrates the significance of race in the creation and execution of American foreign policy. In this new work, historian George White, Jr. explores the ways in which Eisenhower diplomacy, influenced by America''s racialized fantasies, fears, and desires, turned the Cold War into a global sanctuary for the rehabilitation of Whiteness. In turn, American statesmen and bureaucrats justified the undermining of democracy and freedom by stuffing the multi-faceted realities of African aspirations and Western privileges into the straitjacket of a bi-polar worldview. Using as its foundation American relations with Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and the Congo, Holding the Line demonstrates the power of race to warp perception and to severely limit the parameters and possibilities of human engagement. Holding the Line provides a fresh perspective on 1950s era U.S. foreign relations that remain salient in American diplomacy today. This is a book that will be of interest to students of American diplomatic history, Critical Race and Whiteness studies, American studies, and international relations.

Why do nations come into conflict? What factors lead to the horrors of ethnic cleansing? This timely book offers clear-eyed answers to these questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place, focusing especially on Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. Moving beyond studies of nationalism that consider only the economic and geostrategic value of territory, George W. White shows that the very core of national identity is intimately bound to specific places. Indeed, nations define themselves in terms of spaces that have historical, linguistic, and religious meaning, as Serbs have clearly demonstrated in Kosovo. These territories are concrete expressions of a nationOs identity, both past and present. With his detailed analysis of the places that define national identity in Southeastern Europe, White convincingly shows why territorial disputes so often escalate into war.

Biggest Alligator Flipped Over by a Golfer (see page 25) Most Shots Over Par on a Hole After Heeding the Call of Nature in a Major Tournament (see page 36) Eye-popping aces, out-of-control pros, and outrageous Opens are the name of the game in this hilarious and all-too-true collection of golf''s funniest moments.
