Sam was in his office when Miss Maimie Gaygan, a beautiful woman unfortunately with a heart of stone, demanded that he accompany her to Johnny McCall's illegal gambling hall.

Sam Spade dictates a letter through Effie to John M. Lawless, a known gangster who hired Sam Spade yesterday. The subject was Joe Moralis. Flashback to when San Francisco was recovering from VJ Day and crime was practically at a standstill because the number-one competitor in the west coast mob had just been wiped out in a hit-and-run accident and Lawless was on trial for the same. Nothing about the trial made any sense. Lawless was taking the rap for his best friend Joe Moralis and what made even less sense was that the lawyer defending him was Joe’s brother.

Dawn on Sunday, June 22, 1941 saw the opening onslaughts of Operation Barbarossa as German forces stormed forward into the Soviet Union. Few of them were to survive the five long years of bitter struggle. A posting to the Eastern Front during the Second World War was rightly regarded with dread by the German soldiers. They saw epic battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk, and yet it was a daily war of attrition which ultimately proved fatal for Hitler's ambition and the German military machine.

James L. Leloudis and Robert R. Korstad tell the story of race and voting rights, from the end of the Civil War until the present day. They show that battles over the franchise have played out through cycles of emancipatory politics and conservative retrenchment. When race has been used as an instrument of exclusion from political life, the result has been a society in which vast numbers of Americans are denied the elements of meaningful freedom: a good job, a good education, good health, and a good home.

The four stories in this compilation, not by James, are meant to serve as prime illustrations of the best work of a few of his contemporaries and immediate antecedents.
