The war was over, but one of Hitler’s most dangerous men was still on the run—and capturing him would take courage, cunning, and relentless pursuit.

Three days after the official end of World War II, U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps Special Agent Robert E. Matteson led a high-stakes mission into the Austrian Alps to locate and apprehend one of the most dangerous and elusive figures of the Third Reich: SS General Ernst Kaltenbrunner—head of Hitler’s Gestapo, Security Service, and Criminal Police, and the superior of Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann. Virtually unknown to the public, Kaltenbrunner had gone into hiding high in the Austrian Alps, hoping to escape justice for his role in the atrocities of the Holocaust and Nazi terror.

Told in Matteson’s own words, Capturing Kaltenbrunner is a gripping first-person account of wartime espionage, relentless pursuit, and extraordinary courage. From the tense intelligence-gathering operations to the dramatic nighttime mountain raid that led to Kaltenbrunner’s arrest, Matteson recounts in vivid detail the historic events that culminated in the capture of the highest-ranking Nazi official still at large at war’s end. The story continues through Kaltenbrunner’s trial at Nuremberg, where his crimes were finally exposed to the world.

Part military memoir, part historical thriller, and part reckoning with justice, Capturing Kaltenbrunner is a unique window into a nearly hidden chapter of World War II, told by the man who lived it.

Power. Pressure. Politics. A White House insider’s journey through war, diplomacy, and America’s place on the world stage.

In My Foreign Affairs, John E. Rielly delivers a gripping insider’s account of America’s evolving role on the world stage, beginning in the crucible of the Vietnam War. As foreign policy aide to Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Rielly witnessed firsthand the high-stakes power struggle between the vice president and an unrelenting Lyndon B. Johnson—who wielded brutal pressure to force Humphrey’s support for a catastrophic troop escalation. Rielly watched in dismay as a once-vocal skeptic became a reluctant cheerleader for the war, a transformation that may have cost him the presidency in 1968.

From the shadowy corridors of the White House to the international halls of diplomacy, Rielly went on to lead the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, where he spent decades in conversation with some of the most influential leaders of our time.

My Foreign Affairs is both a candid political memoir and a masterful reflection on U.S. foreign policy—from the Kennedy years to the post-Cold War era. Combining vivid personal encounters with sharp analysis, Rielly offers a rare glimpse into how world-shaping decisions are made—and the personal toll they exact.

Mission to Oslo is a rollicking tale of the true adventures of President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to the Kingdom of Norway: Tom Loftus, grandson of Norwegian immigrants and former Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly.

Told with wit and wry humor, the memoir covers 1993 to 1998, the momentous years of the first Clinton administration. It was a time of historic change after the end of the Cold War, with policies adopted that are still debated today: the building of relations with a fledgling Russian democracy, the expansion of NATO to Eastern Europe and the Baltics, and the Norwegian-brokered Oslo Accords that laid the groundwork for a path to peace in the Mideast.

Loftus is a gifted storyteller, and the job of an American ambassador comes to vibrant life. Everything from traveling with the King and the Queen to dodging tanks on a winter road in Russia. Food, wine, and entertaining in Oslo’s spectacular Ambassador’s Residence. It is all there.
