John Merriman, Author Of Ballad Of The Anarchist Bandits: The Crime Spree That Gripped Belle Epoque Paris On DrAlvin.Com

Click Here To Listen John Merriman For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak.

Gordon S. Wood, Author Of Friends Divided: John Adams And Thomas Jefferson Chats On DrAlvin.Com

Click Here To Listen Gordon S Wood From the great historian of the American Revolution, New York Times-bestselling and Pulitzer-winning Gordon Wood, comes a majestic dual biography of two of America's most enduringly fascinating figures, whose partnership helped birth a nation, and whose subsequent falling out did much to fix its course. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams could scarcely have come from more different worlds, or been more different in temperament. Jefferson, the optimist with enough faith in the innate goodness of his fellow man to be democracy's champion, was an aristocratic Southern slaveowner, while Adams, the overachiever from New England's rising middling classes, painfully aware he was no aristocrat, was a skeptic about popular [...]
