The most important event of World War Two. The bombing of Hiroshima is told for the first time from first-hand sources. Myth and reality are finally separated from the planning of the mission to that moment over Hiroshima when the atomic age was born. This is a reissue of Enola Gay (LJ 7/77) with 45,000 additional words and some changes in the original text. It gives an excruciatingly detailed account of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, concentrating on the Army Air Force but including much material on the decision-making process, the Japanese actions, and many diplomatic moves. Although the first edition was criticized by reviewers as having more detail than insight, the additional 60+ pages improve the virtually minute-by-minute coverage of the critical periods, particularly on Tinian and during the flight itself. This is certainly worth buying for libraries lacking the earlier edition and recommended even for those that own it

In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be surrounded by myth and mystery, or commands respect and fear, like Israel’s Mossad. Formed in 1951 to ensure an embattled Israel’s future, the Mossad has been responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination ever ventured. Gideon’s Spies draws from classified documents, confidential sources, and closed-door interviews with Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters to reveal the organization’s deepest secrets. This fifth edition is completely updated with new information, including the Mossad hospital raid that eventually uncovered sleeper cells in Britain, the assassination of the world’s second most-wanted terrorist, the discovery of an unknown nuclear facility in Iran, the intricate relationship between Israeli intelligence and the Bush administration’s war on terror, and why one former Mossad chief says, “We are looking down the barrel of World War III unless the world wakes up.”

В разных уголках земного шара исчезают люди — их затем находят убитыми и выпотрошенными: из тел профессионально удалены внутренние органы. А в глухом уголке Никарагуа, на крошечном вулканическом островке бывший медэксперт «штази», службы безопасности ГДР, доктор Ромер открывает клинику по трансплантации органов. Причем пациенты этой клиники — крупные авторитеты преступного мира, главари мафии, короли криминальных структур, магнаты теневой экономики, наркобароны. В борьбу с этим преступным синдикатом вступает отважный Дэвид Мортон — герой серии книг Гордона Томаса — «Ядовитые духи», «Безбожная икона», «Голоса в тиши». Автор досконально изучил тонкости новейших медицинских технологий и прекрасно осведомлен о методах работы секретных служб. Роман «Охотники за человеческими органами» — это захватывающее повествование о жизни, хотя сюжет его тесно связан со смертью, о мужестве и торжестве справедливости
