THE CONFERENCE AT YALTA: Success Or Failure is one of the most enlightening books written on this historical event that included the "Big 3" (Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin), working together to resolve the multitude of issues following the end of World War II. Several historians have labeled the Conference a failure, but in his book, the author, Aubrey J. Sher, takes a strong stand by presenting his case with substantiated facts obtained through in-depth research, proving that the Conference at Yalta ended in success even with the acceptance of a questionable compromise by both Roosevelt and Churchill. Dr. Sher cites the purpose of each of the three world leaders for attending the Conference, and he details the complete agenda of issues, which included dealing with a defeated Germany, Poland, and the rest of the Eastern European countries. Those were the main issues with which they were faced, and this book will reveal how they were resolved.

PORTOLINA Hells Kitchen Or Shangri-La? is a riddle, mystery, wrapped up in an enigma, about former Chief of Homicide in San Fernando Valley, California, John Mirabella, and his wife, Theresa (Teri), who believe they found their ideal town for retirement in the San Bernardino/San Gabriel area in California. On their first visit to the town of Portolina, they find a very unfriendly Sheriff and several inhospitable citizens of the town who, to put it mildly, urge the visitors to leave. John Mirabella, however, remains unfazed by the outlandish treatment he and his wife received on their initial visit. They return to Portolina only to experience an attempt on their lives. John, one of the heroes in my book ROMULUS AND REMUS The Imperfect Murders, enlists the help of the other hero in the aforementioned book, Ernie Barnes, Private Investigator, as both embark on a suspenseful and most unusual journey to discover the reasons for the behavior of the Portolinians in their attempt to hide whatever alleged crime(s) they have been committing. Eventually, they bring a mutual friend, FBI Agent Augie Brandt, and his brother State Trooper Gary Brandt into the case. The lawmen work on theories involving murder, drug marketing, a recent Brinks armored vehicle robbery, racketeering, bank robbery, money laundering, kidnapping and rape. Those theories are just a few of the possibilities devised by the four experienced investigators, who are frustrated as they try to avoid facing a brick wall in following each theory to its conclusion. The final chapter, Chapter 35, presents quite a surprising revelation as it begins with a raid on the community and ends with the answer to the question, Is Portolina a Hells Kitchen or a Shangri-La?
