 "Fought
in a small Asian country previously unknown to the American public, the Vietnam
War, became a cause that divided the nation and defined the times. The
first televised war, it created the largest antiwar movement in history. How
could the army that won a world war lose to an under armed guerilla force?
Why would our country pay for a war overseas when we were losing the "war on
poverty" at home? Why did a war fought to bring democracy to Vietnam make
Americans question their own democratic government? These are some
of the issues that Albert Marrin addresses. The only excellent book in
print, that we know of, concerning Vietnam for mature young people is American
and Vietnam. Warning: some quotes contain profanity. Illustrated
with maps and black and white pictures. 277 pages, Trade PB,

 "Marrin
writes insightfully about the life of Adolf Hitler and attempts to ascertain the
reasons for his fanaticism, as well as the motives of those who blindly followed
him. The author forgoes sensationalism, and his matter-of-fact writing style and
recitation of events are more than adequate to chronicle the horror.
Step-by-step, he describes how Hitler, a seemingly shy, insecure young man was
able to inspire a defeated nation that saw the extermination of many of its
citizens as it salvation." -Booklist 249 pages, Trade PB

 "This
illustrated biography provides a forceful account of the Soviet tyrant who
shaped communism into a tool for his own ends and at the expense of countless
human lives. The author sketches out Stalin's rise to power from his childhood
through his work as revolutionary organizer, to his role as supreme commander of
Soviet forces and mastermind of post-war policy. The magnitude and scope of the
destruction presented in this book is unsettling, disturbing and sometimes
difficult to comprehend. It is important to understand and to allow this
understanding to cause us, as Americans under a free system of government, to
love and strive more fervently for the preservation of the values and freedoms
we hold so dear."242 pages, Trade PB Advanced

Pacific, island to island, making their way to Japan. Marrin conveys the
struggles of war, along with information on the workings of a submarine and the
experience of being stationed on one, along with technical information.
Dedicated to "all those who fought for freedom on, under, and above the
'Peaceful Ocean,' 1941-1945" this book is the fascinating and dramatic story of
those heroic men. Used in the Literature Approach to U.S. and World History,

 "Finally,
this long anticipated biography of Gen. Robert E. Lee is back in print.
Portraying the sterling character of this admired hero, Marrin paints a complete
picture of this complex man. Divided between his dislike of slavery and his
loyalty to his beloved Virginia, Lee rose from an impoverished and tragic
childhood to become one of the greatest military minds America has ever known,
while being lauded for his kind, generous leadership. Marrin writes of Lee while
including the stories of the ordinary soldiers, the Johnny Rebs and Billy Yanks.
The victories, defeats, successes and failures of each side are portrayed in
vivid and personal detail in Virginia's General. Used in the Literature Approach
to U.S. and World History, from the Civil War to Vietnam Study Guide." 201

 This
is the exciting story of the Yanks ' coming over' to aid the Allies and turn the
tide of W .W .I in Europe. How the United States mobilized industry,
trained doughboy soldiers, and promoted the war at home is told by master
historian and storyteller, Albert Marrin. The desperation of the war
itself is illustrated in tales of action at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods;
in the air with the daring men of the Army Air Corps; with the Lost Battalion at
the battle of the Meuse- Argonne. From the sinking of the Lusitania to Armistice
Day, Marrin tells the whole story of the "war to end all wars" in The Yanks Are
Coming. 249 pages, Trade PB Advanced
