In the early days of World War II, nine young men from the small town of Erwin, Tennessee (population 3,350), volunteered for service in the United States Army Air Corps, proud to defend their nation and democracy. None of them served together, and all were shot down at different times in different places. Yet, incredibly, with more than 50 prison camps scattered throughout Nazi Germany, all nine captured airmen were sent to the same one—Stalag Luft IV.

Download Prisoners of Myth Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Prisoners of Myth is the first comprehensive history of the Tennessee Valley Authority from its creation to the present day. It is also a telling case study of organizational evolution and decline. Building on Philip Selznick's classic work TVA and the Grass Roots (1949), a seminal text in the theoretical study of bureaucracy, Erwin Hargrove analyzes the organizational culture of the TVA by looking at the actions of its leaders over six decades--from the heroic years of the New Deal and World War II through the postwar period of consolidation and growth to the time of troubles from 1970 onward, when the TVA ran afoul of environmental legislation, built a massive nuclear power program that it could not control, and sought new missions for which there were no constituencies. The founding myth of multipurpose regional development was inappropriately pursued in the 1970s and '80s by leaders who became "prisoners of myth" in their attempt to keep the TVA heroic. A decentralized organization, which had worked well at the grass roots, was difficult to redirect as the nuclear genii spun out of control. TVA autonomy from Washington, once a virtue, obscured political accountability. This study develops an important new theory about institutional performance in the face of historical change.

Download The Lazarus Spear Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
For hundreds of years, Appalachian forests have drawn wanderers, away from lights, comforts and everyday life, into unchanged, less familiar and even mysterious places. Hogan Harrison's life was without form, and void, entirely ordinary. His favorite spot overlooked the Nolichucky River's emergence through the mountains as it snaked alongside the railroad tracks into Erwin, Tennessee. Hogan sat atop the rock scrabble ridge and closed his eyes in warm sunlight listening to wrens and the distance-softened rush of the river. When the first drops of rain wake him, a thunderstorm has crawled into the valley. Rain falls in a deluge, darkening the woods; Hogan loses the path. After wandering too long, he huddles down to wait and sees a foxfire green glow. He follows it to a cave where he discovers a black, stone-hard spear. When he touches it, blue light runs through etched lines, bright enough for him retrace his steps back. Hogan learns that a nick from the spear heals instantly, leaving insight and understanding of an enemy. The deeper the wound, the greater the insight. Stab someone through the heart and they will die, to awaken with a hairline scar and perfect understanding of their greatest enemy. The clarity transforms Hogan. He makes amends at work. He finally reaches out to the woman he's longed for and they marry. His life is full and wonderful. But the world is nearing the brink of war, of apocalypse, and Hogan fears the only hope is to give the President the spear's clarity. Hogan just needs to stab him through the chest with the Lazarus Spear to save the world.

“Leave now, or die!” Those words-or ones just as ominous-have echoed through the past hundred years of American history, heralding a very unnatural disaster-a wave of racial cleansing that wiped out or drove away black populations from counties across the nation. While we have long known about horrific episodes of lynching in the South, this story of racial cleansing has remained almost entirely unknown. These expulsions, always swift and often violent, were extraordinarily widespread in the period between Reconstruction and the Depression era. In the heart of the Midwest and the Deep South, whites rose up in rage, fear, and resentment to lash out at local blacks. They burned and killed indiscriminately, sweeping entire counties clear of blacks to make them racially “pure.” Many of these counties remain virtually all-white to this day. In Buried in the Bitter Waters, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Elliot Jaspin exposes a deeply shameful chapter in the nation's history-and one that continues to shape the geography of race in America.
