The prosecutor : one man's battle to bring Nazis to justice / by Fairweather, Jack,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Volunteer, the powerful true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after World War II to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the shadowy, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer landed on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he wouldn't be intimidated. His journey took him deep into the dark heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice would set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies bent on silencing him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth"--

Lucky Day [electronic resource] : by Tingle, Chuck.aut; Wilson, Mara.nrt; CloudLibrary;
“An existential masterwork that, like life, is equal parts atrocity and delights." —Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Masters of Death Lucky Day is the latest from Chuck Tingle, USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays, where one woman must go up against horrifying odds to save the world. Four years ago, an unthinkable disaster occurred. In what was later known as the Low-Probability Event, eight million people were killed in a single day, each of them dying in improbable, bizarre ways: strangled by balloon ropes, torn apart by exploding manhole covers, attacked by a chimpanzee wielding a typewriter. A day of freak accidents that proved anything is possible, no matter the odds. Luck is real now, and it's not always good. Vera, a former statistics and probability professor, lost everything that day, and she still struggles to make sense of the unbelievable catastrophe. To her, the LPE proved that the God of Order is dead and nothing matters anymore. When Special Agent Layne shows up on Vera’s doorstep, she learns he's investigating a suspiciously—and statistically impossibly—lucky casino. He needs her help to prove the casino’s success is connected to the deaths of millions, and it's Vera's last chance to make sense of a world that doesn’t. Because what's happening in Vegas isn't staying there, and she's the only thing that stands between the world and another deadly improbability. "Wilson narrates with emotional depth, conveying all of Rose's intelligence, inquisitiveness, and fear as she's hunted by otherworldly beings." —AudioFile on Camp Damascus Also by Chuck Tingle: Bury Your Gays Camp Damascus Straight A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire

She guides readers through the kaleidoscopic archives of centuries-old porn and erotica, as well as the bizarre history of treatments for erectile dysfunction, including radium suppositories and goat testicle transplants. Feltman provides the history of huge scientific questions-e.g., How are babies made?-and considers the ancient from a modern perspective: What was it like to have herpes several millennia ago?

And these figures from the past, from gay cowboys to polyamorous Vikings, prove that when it comes to how we have sex and who we do it with, there's no such thing as normal"--

"Glassworks is a fractured generational saga that follows the Novak family through four generations, examining the traumas and consequences we share with our family and the truths of our lives we don't pass forward. In 1910, volatile Czech naturalist and glassblower Ignace Novak moves to Boston to make scientific glassworks for wealthy patroness Agnes, who is rapidly losing money and sanity at the hands of her abusive husband. In 1938, their son Edward-not the brightest bulb-struggles with his relationship to the family glassblowing tradition and, as he tries to prove himself capable, accidentally ends up entangled with the mob. In 1986, Edward's nonbinary child Novak is a window cleaner for Manhattan's skyscrapers, caught up in the plight of Cecily, a small-town girl remade as a gender-bending Broadway ingenue. In 2019, Cecily's daughter Flip-a gay stoner who works at a company that fires cremains into keepsake glass ornaments-finally breaks the cycle of family secrets"--
