Florence Nightingale never questioned the day God called her into His service. But determining just what that service would be was another matter. “Decent” young women of the nineteenth century weren’t expected to work – especially not in the foul, disease-ridden medical camps of the British military. But that’s where “The Lady with the Lamp” found her calling: comforting sick, wounded, and dying soldiers, and fighting for their rights within an apathetic establishment. From Scutari Hospital in the Crimean War, she turned the medical world upside down by demonstrating Jesus’ teaching of service “unto the least of these my brethren.”

Where would God lead this unusually dedicated and versatile man? Born into a godly family in Portland, Oregon, Jim was a dynamic speaker, a Greek scholar, and a college wrestling champion. But he welcomed the sacrifice of the mission field, even to the point of death – and, years later in Ecuador, that would be his ultimate calling.

In the autumn of 1993, American special forces were dispatched to the famine-stricken land of Somalia. Their intervention in this war-torn country was the most dramatic US military action since Vietnam. A route mission went horribly wrong when Michael Durant’s Black Hawk helicopter was shot down over Mogadishu and he was quickly surrounded by Somali troops and taken captive. The brutal torture he underwent was made all too clear to the world when his coerced statements were broadcast on live television and his battered face appeared on the cover of magazines around the globe.

Joe Carstairs was renowned in the 1920′s as an “invert” who dressed as a man, displaying tattoos and smoking cheroots. In 1934 she bought an island in the West Indies and created her own kingdom, founding and ruling a colony of 500 black Bahamians. And though she entertained acresses, duchesses and priests, she reserved the greatest love for her boats, her cars and the enigmatic doll Lord Tod Wadley.

In The Morning After, Roiphe takes an unflinching look at today’s sexual politics – date rape, sexual harassment, male superfeminists – and offers a scathing critique of the willingness she sees among women to embrace the role of the victim. Roiphe is the first of her generation to speak out publicly against the intolerant turn the woman’s movement has taken.

October 1991. It was “the perfect storm”–a tempest that may happen only once in a century–a nor’easter created by so rare a combination of factors that it could not possibly have been worse. Creating waves ten stories high and winds of 120 miles an hour, the storm whipped the sea to inconceivable levels few people on Earth have ever witnessed. Few, except the six-man crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat tragically headed towards its hellish center.
