Discover New and Notable Books Publishing This Week Hello Readers,
This week is a relatively quiet one, with only 20 books on our short list, including two works of nonfiction worth browsing.
In The Strategists by Phillips Payson O'Brien, O'Brien shows how the views five world leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2. Publishers Weekly writes, "For military history buffs, this is a must-read."
And in a different key (pun intended) is I Heard There Was a Secret Chord by Daniel J. Levitin, which reveals the deep connections between music and healing. Kirkus writes, "Levitin's story is a fascinating piece of work, written with authority, empathy, and occasional humor."
You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section. For more soon to publish books, check out BookBrowse's "What's New" section.
Enjoy!
