THE DEVIL ON TRIAL takes the reader on a journey through the evolving justice system of the United States. A fact-based reference; the authors use five very distinct historical trials to demonstrate the changing cultures as our country grew from the days of the Puritans to post-September 11, 2001.

This was a very engaging and informative book, which is what I expected since it was written by Jim Murphy. His inclusion of direct quotes from participants, photographs, and battle maps for the different generals added to the book’s appeal and effectiveness. I love history, but I can’t rattle off lots of facts about the Civil War. MoreCall Number: 973

Between 1347 and 1350, the Black Death killed at least one third of Europe's inhabitants. Bringing total destruction, the plague was greeted with incomprehension and a terrified helplessness as it spread from Asia into Europe, reaching England in 1348. Philip Ziegler's classic account traces the course of the virulent epidemic through Europe and its dramatic effect on the lives of those whom it afflicted. MoreCall Number: 614.5 ZAH
