Böcker av Richard B. Schwartz

This book contains 12 original short stories that represent a number of subgenres within the broad field of crime and mystery fiction. From the humorous and explicitly comic to the dark and brooding, they vary in setting from early 21st-century Cincinnati to mid-18th-century London. Faithful readers will notice elements that served as early studies for one of the author's favorite Tom Deaton novels. They were all written in a spirit of admiration for the breadth and depth of specific branches of contemporary genre fiction and serve as a kind of creative extension of the author's Nice and Noir: Contemporary American Crime Fiction.

Postwar Higher Education in America: Just Yesterday explores the apogee of American Higher Education and its devolution into its current state. It offers concrete recommendations for capitalizing on its lost strengths and restoring the standards and expectations that our current students have been denied.

This book depicts the author's military experiences during the Vietnam Era, first as an ROTC cadet at the University of Notre Dame and finally as an Army veteran teaching in Madison, Wisconsin, focusing upon Schwartz's experience at West Point, its cadets, officer corps and system of education.
