A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism

PETER STARK ’76
Gallop Toward the Sun
Random House

Shawnee chief Tecumseh forged a confederacy of tribes and joined with the British to resist U.S. rule in the Ohio River Valley of the early 1800s. Stark’s brisk narrative of the struggle focuses on the native leader’s rivalry with future U.S. President William Henry Harrison. 

PETER HELLER ’82
The Last Ranger

A Yellowstone enforcement ranger’s mundane work is jolted by a series of unusual incidents in the park. As he investigates, tensions rise over endangered wolves, land rights, tourism—and, possibly, murder. In his 10th book and sixth novel, Heller delivers yet another slow-burn Western mystery marked by lyrical writing that renders the wilderness as an essential character.

JULIET AIRES GIGLIO ’84
The Trouble with Tinsel
Sourcebooks Casablanca
