1942: The Nazis have successfully landed in Mexico and have invaded the United States through Texas. The Japanese have conquered western Canada and have captured and occupied most of the West Coast from Seattle to the outskirts of Los Angeles. The Italians have launched a massive amphibious assault from Cuba and have taken control of Florida and the Southeast as far north as Atlanta. New York City and Washington D.C. are fortifying and preparing for the onslaught. American forces are stranded in Europe and Southeast Asia. The homeland is being defended neighborhood to neighborhood by women, the elderly and gay men, all ineligible for military service. The KKK and Right Wing radicals are supporting the invaders helping to establish concentration camps where Blacks and Jews are being transported all over the western U.S. Amid the carnage and brutality of an enemy seeking to destroy everything in its path, the American Spirit is put to its greatest test. Pastore weaves a tale that will not soon be forgotten as this highly imaginative story unfolds. It is an awe-inspiring parable of the true nature of the American people when put to their greatest test.

Entrant for the Pulitzer Prize in Letters, 2009, Best New American Poet, 2007: Pastore owes all he has, and has ever had, to a saving engagement with his art. What I particularly admire is the gamble he takes, and wins, with those classic stylized poems. In less accomplished hands they might have been distractingly archaic, but here, defused by the beautifully plain and heartfelt thanks for everything into which they flow, they connect back to the great tradition from which Pastore has drawn strength not just artistically but personally, one feels throughout one of the more impressively and, I might say, spectacularly, composed first poetry collections in contemporary American poetry.

Charlotte Mew's poems explore a wide range of themes, including passionate discussions of faith and the possibility of belief in God and proto-modernism. Many of her poems are in the form of dramatic monologues, and she often wrote from the point of view of a male persona, allowing her to gain the patronage of several literary figures, notably Thomas Hardy, who called her the best woman poet of her day; Virginia Woolf, who said she was 'very good and quite unlike anyone else', and Siegfried Sassoon. She lived from 1869-1928. 
This collection includes a thoughtful discussion about her works, and includes all of her poems, as well previously unreleased poems that are hard to find.

Mein Kampf: A Descriptive Bibliography is the most thorough, complete and detailed analysis and description of every edition of Hitler’s Mein Kampf ever written. It is destined to be the benchmark for the study of the publication history and analysis of one of the world’s most important and influential books. With over 300 full color illustrations and nearly 900 pages in two volumes, this study is long overdue and long awaited. Edited by Stephen R. Pastore, an experienced bibliographer and book collector with co-authors Andreas Stanik and Steven M. Brewster, and printed in two languages (English and German), the effects of this study will be far-reaching and will increase in importance for decades to come. From Publishers Weekly At long last someone of note and experience has tackled the extremely difficult job of describing perhaps one of the most influential volumes in all of human history, Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Pastore seems more up to the difficult task than most. He takes a bibliographer’s point of view with no agenda, no side, no bias to discuss not only the creation of the book but, most importantly, a description in unparalleled terms of the impact on the history of the Twentieth Century that this book has and will continue to have so long as Man walks the Earth. No one will doubt the depth and breadth of this meticulous and difficult study. Certainly, it is the end-all for studies of Mein Kampf and we should all be thankful to the author and his co-authors Brewster and Stanik for taking on a thankless job for the benefit of all. Copyright 2016 Cahners Business Information, Inc. New York Times Book Review “A detailed look at the life of an important book….” New York Times Book Review “[A] gripping new book.... To write like this requires a rare sensitivity and psychological sophistication coupled with a degree of fearlessness.... Pastore impresses not only as a cultural historian. He also has an impressively strong grasp on the impact of Mein Kampf. And this is indispensable.... This is a truly profound piece of history.” The Guardian “This vivid history of the evoltion of Mein Kampf captures the complex feelings of ordinary Germans under the Nazi regime.... A superb study.” Wall Street Journal “Stephen Pastore’s...gracefully written bibliography offers by far the most comprehensive and readable guide to these issues…This is splendid scholarship.... Anyone interested in National Socialist Germany, World War II and the many murderous regimes that still disfigure the earth should relish Mein Kampf: A Descriptive Bibliography.” New York Review of Books “[Pastore] draws on many sources to paint a huge social canvas of the history of this important book.” Washington Post, “In his new and excellent book, ‘Mein Kampf: A Descriptive Bibliography,’ historian Stephen R. Pastore exhumes the records and publication history of Mein Kampf. He details how a cultured nation went insane. Times Higher Education “Ambitious... Pastore’s book is a prodigious accomplishment…” Washington Times “Exhaustive.... A first-rate historical read.” Washington Book Review “An important addition to the growing number of books on the history of WWII… a very insightful study.” Kirkus Reviews “[A] massive but thorough meditation.... A well-researched, unsettling social history of Mein Kampf that will prove deeply thought-provoking…” Library Journal “Important... Pastore provides a vital and necessary addition to the World War II canon that will appeal to World War II buffs and anyone with an interest in 20th-century German history.”
