Oates on the grim career of Nat Turner /Wallace Stegner's luminous memoir of his Western boyhood /Francis Russell's meticulous reconstruction of the crime that sent Sacco and Vanzetti to the chair /David McCullough's surprising profile of Harriet Beecher Stowe/ Hughes Rudd's perilous World War II sojourn as a spotter pilot.
