Drawing on their years ot counterterrorism work at the National Security Council, the authors provide essential insights into the thinking of Usama bin Laden and his followers. They analyze why America was unable to defend itself against the revolutionary threat on September 11, why bin Laden’s creed is gaining ground in the Islamic world, and what the United States must do to stop the new terror.
5. “In the Shadow of Ragged Mountain — Historical Archaeology of Nicholson, Corbin, & Weakley Hollows” by Audrey Homing ($16.95)
If you stand on the top of Ragged Mountain- today called Old Rag- you’ll look out over the hollows known as Nicholson, Corbin, and Weakley. For almost 200 years before the establishment of Shenandoah National Park in 1935, families lived in these hollows. This book tells their story.
Author and archaeologist, Audrey Horning wanted to know the real story and spent nine years finding it by unearthing the materials they left behind, searching through archival records, and talking with their descendants. In compelling prose, highlighted with numerous photographs from the past, Homing brings these people to life again, challenging ToSg-held stereotypes. Homing establishes a new history, richer and more balanced. The story she tells is as real as the toy truck she unearthed, as the land deed in the courthouse, as the granddaughter remembering her years on the mountain. It is a story that has long been waiting to be told.
