Port City
$7.99Port City, Eliot Sefrin’s new novel, brings the working class history of New York’s tugboat men to the page in a story of power, greed, and the struggle for compromise. The harbor itself becomes a character as Sefrin paints a picture of a city that has just reached its postwar maturity – wealthy, vital, and the hub of global trade. In the joyful days after the end of the second World War, those who have been holding their breath and hoping for better pay are ready for a change that is not coming without a fight. Soon the union representing the tugboat workers is locked in a stalled negotiation with the tugboat owners that threatens to cripple the thriving city. The story of how this historical moment finds an end is a love letter to a city whose throbbing heart is the people who live within it.

World War II: The 103d Cactus Division Story
$4.99In reading “World War II The 103d Cactus Division Story” the reader becomes embedded with the U.S. troops as they wage battle after battle with the Nazi’s. After the war ended, Newspaper reporters and members of the 103d, Ralph Mueller and Jerry Turk produced a book “Report After Action The Story of the 103d Infantry Division.” A copy of the book sat in the Innsbruck Library [Stadtbücherei Innsbruck] for years following the war.When conducting research for the book “Bunker Treasures” the author happened into the Library to see if there were maps of the area showing abandoned rail road tracks from World War II. The director of the Library was called, and, and in hearing the request she asked me to wait and disappeared back into the inner sanctum of the building. When she came back, she was holding a only a frayed copy of a book with the insignia of a green cactus on blue ground and a yellow sky on the cover. The book you are about to read is based on that frayed copy. It is dedicated to the brave souls who fought with honor and determination through the challenging final stages of World War II and to those who gave their lives on the long road fighting the Nazi’s from Marseilles to Innsbruck. djv murphy
