HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was the backbone of RAF Fighter Command at the outbreak of the Second World War, and No. 601 Squadron—known as the “Millionaires’ Squadron”—was among the units that flew it into the most critical air battles over Britain. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and armed with eight .303 Browning machine guns, the Hurricane combined rugged construction with stable gun platforms, making it exceptionally effective against enemy bombers. While the Supermarine Spitfire often captured public attention, it was the Hurricane that bore the brunt of combat during the early stages of the air war in Europe.
Pilot Officer William “Billy” Fiske, an American volunteer and Olympic gold medalist bobsledder, joined No. 601 Squadron as one of the first U.S. citizens to fly in defense of Britain. During the Battle of Britain, Fiske flew Hurricane Mk.I aircraft on intensive patrols and interception missions as the Luftwaffe launched sustained attacks on airfields, cities, and shipping. The Hurricanes of 601 Squadron frequently engaged German bomber formations escorted by fighters, breaking up raids before they could reach their targets. Fiske was wounded when his Hurricane was damaged during combat operations, and he later succumbed to his injuries, becoming widely regarded as the first American pilot to die in the Battle of Britain.
The Hurricane Mk.I in which Fiske flew represents the broader story of international volunteers who joined the RAF before the United States formally entered the war. Aircraft of No. 601 Squadron were heavily involved in the defense of southern England throughout the summer and autumn air battles, flying multiple sorties per day under exhausting conditions. These Hurricanes contributed significantly to blunting the Luftwaffe’s offensive and preserving Britain’s ability to continue the fight, marking the type as a decisive factor in one of history’s most important air campaigns.
This 1:72 scale model brings together the story of a legendary fighter, a heroic pilot, and the pivotal Battle of Britain, making it a meaningful and historically rich addition to any collection.

Navarro Has Written a J'Accuse for Our Time, a Bare-Knuckled Indictment of an Evil System
Format: Hardcover
Peter Navarro has written an exceptional book that should be required reading for those who seek to understand the abuses of the Biden presidency. The book is a poignant love story, an account of great sacrifice, and an illustration of the true totalitarian nature of the Left. It is a J'Accuse for our time. Like Zola's work, it is a bare-knuckled indictment of an evil system. Unlike Zola, this system conspired not against one man, but against the President and many others--in fact, well more than half the country. Navarro's account is a contemporary reminder of the abuses Arendt and Solzhenitsyn identified regarding not only the banality, capriciousness, and brutal incompetence of tyranny, but that one does not realize when it starts how horrific it will become. If the Left is not stopped, what they did to Navarro will segue to even greater abuses against more and more people. I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To is a warning to all Americans of what is at stake and hence is a book that Americans must read.

Find Out Who Was the Legal Secretary
Format: Hardcover
I ordered this book after watching Nuremberg with Michael Shannon and Russell Crowe because I wanted to find out who was the woman accompanying Justice Jackson to Germany. Yes, that was not his wife, it was his legal secretary, Elsie Douglas. This book is the only source I could find that goes into any detail about their relationship. What it provides is nowhere near salacious, because it is evident that Jackson took his secrets to the grave. What details it does provide about the evident love triangle that existed in Jackson's life for many years is quite sufficient to explain the events of Nuremberg.

Well written. Factual sloppiness.
Format: Hardcover
Good insight into Jackson’s approach to the law. Thoroughly researched. Well written. However, Professor White made two egregious factual errors, both of which are an indication of sloppiness on his part, as well as that of his editors and peer reviewers. First, he refers to the World War 2 Chief of Naval Operations as the Secretary of the Navy. Second he states that Los Alamos National Laboratory is in California.

Judging Jackson
Format: Hardcover
Readers interested in FDR's era, the post-war Nuremberg Trial, and/or such important U.S. Supreme Court events as the Rosenberg spy case and Brown v. Board of Education will enjoy this well-researched book. Illuminating insights as to the characters of his fellow members of the High Court, especially Justices Black and Douglas, are also present. Of special interest in today's world is Justice Jackson's thinking on the limits of Executive Power in terms of war powers and foreign relations. I do think non-lawyers will be less interested when the author, a legal scholar, sometime goes into depth exploring aspects of Justice Jackson's thoughts on opaque technical areas, such as diversity jurisdiction under the constitution. And, I fail to see the need to spend much time on Justice Black's two children, as is done in chapter two "Family Matters." Why do I need to know that his daughter was a mediocre student in college or details about her early love life? Professor White clearly admires Robert H. Jackson as a fine advocate, brilliant writer, and independent judge, while noting some of his flaws. All in all, a good biography of an important American.
