Comments: The authors of the McDowell bio (previously reviewed here) tell me that the SB edition is "much enhanced, with considerably more attention to the trials of Porter and McDowell." The Hooper book is available now (see its late-February Booknotes entry). Lots of SB originals and reprints coming out this month, the new titles listed above. Given the pattern of soft street dates, there's a good chance the Brandes book's March release is a placeholder, but you never know.
1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include non-revised/expanded reprints of previously published books, special editions not distributed to reviewers, and digital-only titles. Works that only tangentially address the war years are also generally excluded. Inevitably, one or more titles on this list will get a rescheduled release (and they do not get repeated later), so revisiting the past few "Coming Soon" posts is the best way to pick up stragglers.
