`Nobody, it seems, could write better than this. No one could have a clearer vision of the micro-circuitry of post-modern life` Evening Standard Ostensibly, DeLillo`s blackly comic second novel is about Gary Harkness, a football player and student at Logos College, west Texas. During a season of unprecedented success, Gary becomes increasingly fixated on the threat of nuclear war. Both frightened and fascinated by the prospect, he listens to his team-mates discussing match tactics in much the same terms as generals might contemplate global conflict. But as the terminologies of football and nuclear war the language of end zones become interchanged, the polysemous nature of words emerges, and DeLillo forces us to see beyond the sterile...

To end a history of World War II at VE Day is to leave the tale half told. While the war may have seemed all but over by Hitler`s final birthday (April 20), Stafford`s chronicle of the three months that followed tells a different, and much richer, story. ENDGAME 1945 highlights the gripping personal stories of nine men and women, ranging from soldiers to POWs to war correspondents, who witnessed firsthand the Allied struggle to finish the terrible game at last. Through their ground-level movements, Stafford traces the elaborate web of events that led to the war`s real resolution: the deaths of Hitler and Mussolini, the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau, and the Allies` race with the Red Army to establish a victors` foothold in Europe,...
