    Praise for Previous Books by Charles Lachman The Last Lincolns: The Rise & Fall of a Great American Family "This engaging book traces three generations of Abraham Lincoln''s descendants in the century following his assassination . . . notable for its liveliness" --Publishers Weekly "[A]n absorbing, well-researched account. . . . [C]ompelling. . . . [A]n important and engaging contribution not just to the burgeoning field of Lincoln studies, but to our understanding of American social history." -- Jean H. Baker , author of Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography "[A] spellbinding account of Abraham Lincoln''s family." --Frank J. Williams, Founding Chair of The Lincoln Forum, and Chief Justice, Rhode Island Supreme Court "[An] intimate portrait of decline. Throughout, the contrast between the great President and his descendants--living lives of little social impact or public purpose--is crystal clear." --Kenneth D. Ackerman, author of Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield Praise for Previous Books by Charles Lachman Footsteps in the Snow: One Shocking Crime. Two Shattered Families. And the Coldest Case in US History "Lachman does an outstanding job making the resolution of a horrific cold-case murder into a gripping page-turner. . . . Lachman paces it perfectly, carrying the reader along on a narrative full of twists." --Publishers Weekly Praise for Previous Books by Charles Lachman A Secret Life: The Lies and Scandals of President Grover Cleveland "Delves deeply into the affair . . . in florid cinematic detail." --The New York Times "Forget Arnold Schwarzenegger or John Edwards. One of the greatest political sex scandals happened to Grover Cleveland." --Daily Beast "Grover Cleveland is hot! Former Post reporter Charles Lachman rips the lid off the sex scandals--and coverups--of the man who became the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms." --New York Post "A Secret Life is a masterfully researched biography." --New York Journal of Books "Splendid . . . amusingly sordid." --Men''s Health "A Secret Life is another success, a blend of sharp detective work - he even finds out what happened to Cleveland''s supposed son - and history that reads like a gripping novel." --Christian Science Monitor "Lachman''s research and crisp, clear writing keep the reader eager to learn more about the Buffalo native who twice was elected to the nation''s highest office." --Buffalo News, Praise for Codename Nemo by Charles Lachman "Charles Lachman weaves the incredible story of the capture by American forces of a German U-boat and its secrets during World War II, an operation which allowed Allied forces to shock the German Navy. Richly detailed with undeniable suspense and action, Codename Nemo is destined for the non-fiction best seller lists." -- Bill O'Reilly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Killing Series "It's an exciting account of a daring military maneuver." --Publisher's Weekly "A satisfying World War II history." --Kirkus Reviews "Crisp as a torpedo striking the water, Codename Nemo pulls you along with a deeply personal account of the hunters on both sides of an amazing drama." --Walter R. Borneman, author of The Admirals and Brothers Down "A relentless, pressure-packed plunge into the depths of war. Codename Nemo is a story-telling tour-de-force indeed, the quintessential story of the Battle of the Atlantic, rendered in taut prose, and with an immediacy and intimacy that all but makes a participant of the reader. In the wake of this story, you'll feel a profound sense of gratitude to the men who went after U-505, and to Charles Lachman for bringing them back." --James Sullivan, author of Unsinkable " Codename Nemo is a pulse-pounding tale of high-stakes espionage and daring courage, detailing the pursuit and capture of a German U-boat at the height of World War II. Charles Lachman masterfully builds a cast of characters, German and American, whose destinies intersect in the perilous waters of the Atlantic. The vivid description of life aboard a U-boat immerse you in the claustrophobic, terrifying world of underwater warfare. As the tension builds, with each 'ping' of the Sonar, the thrilling plot keeps you turning the pages. A riveting narrative combining historical research with visceral scenes, Codename Nemo is a must-read for anyone in search of a thrilling maritime adventure." --Andrew Dubbins, author of Into Enemy Waters "The best missions involving submarines often start with an outlandish idea, and the very best make a hell of a story. Codename Nemo does both." --Sherry Sontag, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Blind Man's Bluff "What a terrific read from Charles Lachman! A suspenseful, fast-paced but little-known saga of hide-and-seek between a US 'baby flattop' and a German U-boat during World War II. Who can resist an Irish-American commander, nicknamed 'Full Flaps' by his crew--always beyond his hearing of course--because of his protruding ears, who embarks with his dog, a border collie named Flabby, instigates nail-biting nighttime takeoffs and landings on his carrier for the first time in Naval history...and if that's not enough, then proposes some cockamamie scheme of commandeering a German sub filled with secret stuff by actually attempting to board her with a nine-man team! It's a wild, engrossing ride from start to finish with extraordinary details and insights into daily life--clashes, arguments, even suicide--aboard both German boats and American ships during the Battle of the Atlantic. This one is a winner!" --Carole Engle Avriett, author of Coffin Corner Boys and Marine Raiders, Praise for Codename Nemo by Charles Lachman "Charles Lachman weaves the incredible story of the capture by American forces of a German U-boat and its secrets during World War II, an operation which allowed Allied forces to shock the German Navy.

    Synopsis
    The white-knuckled saga of the US Navy task force that captured Nazi submarine U-505 and the Enigma machine., Appeals To the Consistently Engaged World War II Readership: Codename Nemo appeals to the huge base of Americans who are fans of World War II intrigue and narrative history, readers of Band of Brothers, The Forgotten 500, Operation Mincemeat, and Blind Man's Bluff. For the 80th Anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 2024) and the 80th Anniversary of the Capture of U-505 (June 4, 2024): Diversion publishes a month ahead of these eightieth anniversaries, which are tied together, and we expect significant media coverage surrounding them. Media-savvy, Well Connected Author : Lachman is executive producer of the nationally syndicated news magazine, Inside Edition and has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, History, Lifetime, C-Span, Sirius/XM, and other local and national programs. Already Has a Blurb from Bill O'Reilly, To Be Finalized Before Public Display: "Charles Lachman weaves the incredible story of a feared German U-boat commander and his capture by American forces. . . . Richly detailed with undeniable suspense and action, Codename Nemo is destined for the non-fiction best seller lists." --Bill O'Reilly, New York Times best-selling author of Killing Patton and Killing the Rising Sun Tight, Naval "Band of Brother" Focus: Told mostly through the eyes of the 9-man boarding party who took control of U-505, men like Chief Motor Machinist Zenon Lukosius ("Zeke"), a Lithuanian immigrant's son from Chicagoplugged a hole of gushing water that was threatening to send U-505 to the bottom of the sea after the Americans took control. Recipient of the Silver Star. Also Told Through the Eyes of the German U-Boat Crewmembers: The actions of U-505 are told from the perspective of the Germans on U-505, making the story read like a thrilling World War II novel, braiding together opposing experiences. Masterfully Weaves All the Essential Threads of a Riveting War Tale: Plenty of action on the high seas, a multi-year adventure, compelling American heroes, and an intrepid maverick--Captain Daniel Gallery--who came up with the audacious scheme and successfully carried it out at greatrisk. The True Story Behind Living History: Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry draws 1.5 million visitors annually, and U-505--which visitors can view inside and out!--is the museum's most popular exhibit. The Silent Underwater Threat of the Nazi U-Boat Wolf Packs: The narrative lead-up to the U-Boat seizure is the constant threat and effective attacks of the Nazi submarine fleet, even threatening American shores, told here in frightening detail. International Allure of This Story: U-505 was based at the seaport of Lorient, and the French Resistance performed daring acts of sabotage against the Germans vessels.England was nearly brought to its heels by the U-Boat menace. And no nation would have a keener curiosity in the book than Germany., The white-knuckled saga of the US Navy task force that captured Nazi submarine U-505 and the Enigma machine. Two days before D-Day--the course of World War II was forever changed. The German hunters of the Atlantic Ocean had become the hunted, and US antisubmarine Task Group 22.3 seized a Nazi U-boat, its crew, and all its secrets. Led by a courageous nine-man boarding party and maverick Captain Daniel Gallery, Operation Nemo was the first seizure of an intact enemy warship in battle since the War of 1812, and the intelligence gathered from it dramatically shortened the duration of the war. But at any moment, the mission could have ended in disaster. Charles Lachman's Codename Nemo traces every step of this historic pursuit on the deadly seas, documenting the thrilling cat-and-mouse game through the eyes of the men on both sides. The result is a deeply researched, fast-paced World War II narrative for the ages.

      My book arrived four days early! Great job wrapping my book and protecting it from harm in shipment. The cardboard and bubble-wrap envelope kept it safe from postal abuse. You guys are professionals in bookselling. (Your item description and low price made the sale over your competitors.) I look forward to doing business with you again. Thank you very much!
