Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front “Sergeant [Bill] Mauldin had never led men in battle,” writes DePastino about the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner whose cartoons helped many soldiers get through World War II. “He had instead fought the war with an ink brush.” In a book richly illustrated with some of Mauldin’s best work, including many of the “Willie and Joe” series, the author chronicles an amazing life.
A Person of Interest: A Novel In this psychological thriller (whose plot draws on the Unabomber’s 1993 assault on Yale computer scientist David Gelernter '76, '77MA), a technology-hating psychopath named the “Brain Bomber” kills a professor. The dead man’s colleague in the office next door, a mathematician with a past, becomes a “person of interest” in an investigation whose twists keep the pages turning.
The Exchange Artist: A Tale of High-Flying Speculation and America’s First Banking Collapse A wise man builds his house upon a rock, but Andrew Dexter Jr., the early-nineteenth-century con man behind the first U.S. banking catastrophe, built his “upon paper,” writes Kamensky. The historian follows Dexter’s rise—showing how he duped investors by printing piles of worthless banknotes—and his ignominious fall.
How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now Hebrew Bible expert Kugel, whose course on the subject was one of the most popular at Harvard, brings us “two quite different ways of understanding the Bible, those of modern biblical scholars and of ancient interpreters.” The result is a fascinating reconciliation of these apparently contradictory approaches.
