Mueller's War
Garrett M. Graff“Speculation around ‘The Mueller Report’ — the findings from Special Council Robert Mueller’s recently concluded top secret inquiry into the Trump Campaign and Russian interference into the 2016 election — has been dominating headlines. In our first Scribd Original, award-winning journalist Garrett Graff gives us the first in-depth account of Mueller’s time as a Marine during the Vietnam War, and reveals why and how Mueller became who he is today: a man with integrity beyond reproach.” — Stephanie
Odds Against Tomorrow: A Novel
Nathaniel Rich“Written after Hurricane Katrina but before Hurricane Harvey, Nathaniel Rich’s climate disaster satire feels, perhaps, too plausible. Capitalism and the climate go head-to-head in this frightening, manic read that does also, somehow, elicit chuckles (albeit nervous ones) with its wit.” — Ashley
The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area
Malcolm Margolin“Malcolm Margolin set out to make the way of the Ohlone — the Native American tribes that lived in the Bay Area before colonization — comprehensible to contemporary readers. To that end, he took an unusual approach. He turned his extensive research toward descriptive ends, writing a series of vignettes describing what the day-to-day experience of different aspects of life in the Bay Area were for thousands of years, including hunting, gathering, marriage, illness, politics, war, and more.” — Andrew
