“Smart, beautifully written, and really, really, funny satire featuring Arthur Beauchamp.” –– The Globe and Mail Finalist for the Stephen Leacock Humour Award In this zany political thriller, the leader of the despotic Asian nation of Bhashyistan declares war on Canada after a limo bearing its visiting delegation is blown sky-high in snowy Ottawa. The suspected assassin, Abzal Erzhan, a Bhashyistani revolutionary, disappears. Was he kidnapped, was he murdered, or did he get away scot-free? Enter famed trial lawyer Arthur Beauchamp, dragged from retirement on his idyllic Gulf Island farm. As he prepares to represent Erzhan, he must ponder a hard, ethical question: is the alleged terrorist guilty, or has he been set up to take the fall? Arthur soon finds himself tangled up with wily civil servants, scheming cabinet members, an abrasive Bhashyistani propagandist, and a government spy who stumbles about like a bull in a china shop. Meanwhile, the international pressure mounts as Canadian oil executives are taken hostage while three Canadian female tourists, fearing terrorism, hide out in Bhashyistani’s wintry wilds.

Americans have long debated the cause of the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Many have argued that the attack was a brilliant Japanese military coup, or a failure of U.S. intelligence agencies, or even a conspiracy of the Roosevelt administration. But despite the attention historians have paid to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the truth about that fateful day has remained a mystery—until now. In Operation Snow: How a Soviet Mole in FDR’s White House Triggered Pearl Harbor, author John Koster uses recently declassified evidence and never-before-translated documents to tell the real story of the day that FDR memorably declared would live in infamy, forever. Operation Snow shows how Joseph Stalin and the KGB used a vast network of double-agents and communist sympathizers—most notably, Harry Dexter White—to lead Japan into war against the United States, demonstrating incontestable Soviet involvement behind the bombing of Pearl Harbor. A thrilling tale of espionage, mystery and war, Operation Snow will forever change the way we think about Pearl Harbor and World War II.

In 1919, Wilhelm von Graffe, a German Naval Officer, witnessed the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow. This crushing defeat pushed him to dedicate his life to returning Germany to its rightful position of power. Years later, prior to World War II, von Graffe came up with a plan to accomplish that goal. Von Graffe's plan centered on the shipping lanes of North America's Great Lakes, areas likely to be an integral part of Great Britain's lifeline since both Canada and the United States would provide abundant supplies to Great Britain's war effort, as they had in the past. Von Graffe clearly saw the advantage to Germany in sabotaging such supply shipments. This project became so secret that only Adolf Hitler and his spymaster, Admiral Canaris, knew the details. However, the possibility for the success of this operation diminished when von Graffe was forced to return to Germany, where he found himself faced with an unexpected dilemma, which tried his honor as both a citizen and a German Officer. E. J. Walden, a World War II veteran, currently lives and enjoys his retirement in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri. His curiosity as to why the Germans did not do more to impede shipments of war materiels from Canada and the United States inspired him to research and write about these shipping hubs. He has written two other works, one occurring during the immediate aftermath of World War II, and the second being a series of depression era stories.
