LibraryReads and Library Journal offer read-alikes for patrons waiting to read Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. 

Keisha N. Blain offers a manifesto for anyone committed to social justice. Kate Clifford Larson writes an in-depth portrait of the civil rights activist. 

A fascinating and wonderfully readable portrayal of the tensions between fiery militancy and determined but measured devotion in working toward a goal; ambitious, comprehensive, and highly recommended for public and academic libraries

These 29 titles in fiction, nonfiction, and memoir immerse readers in the events that changed two nations.

These 28 titles cover walls and fortifications ancient and modern, from Hadrian's Wall to barriers along the United States-Mexico border. 

Will appeal to readers interested in World War II and fans of military history; this riveting account of a little-known historical personality will appeal to World War II and general history fans alike; for fans of espionage tales, World War II history, biographies, as well as young adult audiences; a new perspective on a figure whose actions continue to have a profound impact 

Military history has typically enjoyed a devoted following among a relatively small niche of history buffs and academics. But recent years have brought a surge of interest in the topic among the wider population, spanning all ages and stages of life.

From Pearl Harbor to D-Day and beyond, these seven new titles reexamine the events and repercussions of World War II.

Will appeal most to Hollywood history buffs, but may also pique the interest of general readers with its yarns of various stars; highly recommended for history or hospitality aficionados
