Letters from the Belgian Congo: In 1954, the author went to the colonial Belgian Congo as a missionary for the Methodist Church and spent the next 20 years teaching African women home economics, nutrition, hygiene, child care, and leadership. She was fluent in French, Otetela, Swahili, and Lingala. She wrote home economics and leadership text books in Otetela. Most significantly, she taught the women and girls how to pass along their knowledge and to teach others.
Five Pieces of History From the OSS to the CIA, Robert Coffin was an instructor of fine art at Ohio State University when the United States entered World War II. He was drafted into Wild Bill Donovan's Office of Strategic Services along with a diverse crew of other men and women with special talents and expertise. He remained in the service after the war when the OSS evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency by Act of Congress. These are his experiences, photographs, and observations of the operations in which he participated from the Quebec Conference to the war in Vietnam. Mr. Coffin died on June 27, 2000 at the age of 87, but he was able to complete this book and see it in its present form. The complete work is available on CD in electronic format (Acrobat Reader) for $17 and may be ordered online.
