Read this paragraph from The Dark Game.

Another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining military intelligence. Although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances, the craft of spying on the enemy's army still relied on fieldwork. For the most part, intelligence was gathered in simple ways. Prisoners of war and deserters were interrogated. The Union army was always interested in hearing what runaway slaves had to report. And, of course, both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observation, and captured correspondence.

And our only miserable consolation was that we believed
that Auschwitz and Treblinka were closely guarded secrets; that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on behind those black gates and barbed wire; that they had no knowledge of the war against the Jews that Hitler's armies and their accomplices waged as part of the war against the Allies.

If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have moved heaven and earth to intervene. They would have spoken out with great outrage and conviction. They would have bombed the railways leading to Birkenau, just the railways, just once.

What they talked about, I have no idea … . It was no doubt whatever a young married couple spending their first time privately in each other’s company in the long, probably harried day would talk about. It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance.

Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of
ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a
notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though
everyone knows that most men consider themselves
better than someone. "Of all the nations in the world, the
United States was built in nobody's image," the historian
Daniel Boorstin wrote. That's because it was built of bits
and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy. quilts
that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and
calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That
is the ideal.

Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
"Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.
