THE SWORD OF ZEUS: THE HIDDEN STORY OF 
HOW GREECE SHAPED WORLD WAR II
This long overdue book, linked to a film production, argues that a pivotal Greek contribution to World War II has been largely ignored by popular culture as well as mainstream academic history. THE SWORD OF ZEUS exposes this neglect in a dramatic, gripping narrative filled with enthralling characters. In telling the untold story of Greek heroism during the conflict that shaped the 20th century, SWORD OF ZEUS reveals the Western world’s intense and conflicted attitude toward its Hellenic heritage. Transcending its tale of war per se, it shows how much more of modern intellectual life stems from Greece than is commonly realized, including major currents of creative culture, science, technology, the arts and politics. SWORD examines Hellenic influences on America’s founding fathers and the real scope and significance of Greek immigration to the United States. In a tapestry of insight woven out of little-known facts, it provides a new vision of the history of the 20th century, of America and of Greece and its rich heritage. Readers will have their perceptions of Greece and the world significantly challenged, coming away with a renewed understanding of 21st-century geopolitics.

THE INTELLECTUAL VERSUS THE CITY: Anti-urbanism In America From Jefferson To The 21st Century, by one of the US's leading scholars, philosopher Morton G. White, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Intellectual History at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J., and two co-authors. A classic work of philosophical and historical investigation, showing the anti-urban bias that runs deeply through American letters and culture since the Founding Fathers, is updated, expanded and freshly contextualized with a substantial, informative and provocative new discussion of the urban ideas of the past half-century to date. From New Urbanism to the image of the city purveyed in popular culture forms like movies and comic books, the anti-urban philosophy is shown to be alive and well, posing intriguing problems for the urban challenges of the 21st century.
