In recent years, books about entertaining, in a never-ending quest to sell as many units as possible, have wandered away from their true mission.
Now, nearly every title focuses on making it quick and effortless, with easy-this and store-bought that, and the specious promise that you needn't work to throw a great party. But, in fact, working is what makes a great party, and there are a lot of people who love to do it - as proven by the entire career of Martha Stewart. Some readers may want to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible; this book is not for them.
"Fandango" is about making it memorable: making it big, making it participatory, and making it cohesive.
Sometimes the food is rustic, inexpensive, and simple to cook: a fiesta luncheon of Mexican dishes, or the Summer Day barbecue.
Sometimes it's downright indulgent - a truffle dinner, or a romantic supper.
The 125 recipes run the gamut from traditional American and Mexican food to exotic Indian, rustic Italian and Spanish, and even a wee bit O'Scottish.
In wine-country style, every course is paired with a wine - both a general varietal suggestion and a specific bottle. Sometimes beer. Or watermelon margaritas.

Pacific Victory

The American \'island-hopping\' campaign in the Pacific during the Second World War was a crucial factor in the eventual defeat of Japan in 1945. The assault and capture of these seemingly unimportant islands meant US bombers and their fighter escorts could now reach mainland Japan, eventually crippling Japan\'s war economy. In November 1943, Tarawa tested the doctrine of seaborne assault to the limit in a 76-hour battle in which Marines waded ashore from the surrounding reefs in the face of murderous enemy fire. Peleliu in September 1944 was the \'unknown battle\', where a combination of poor planning, dubious leadership and a major change in Japanese defensive strategy turned what was expected to be a three-day battle into one of the most savage battles of the war. Iwo Jima in February 1945 was a titanic struggle that eclipsed all these battles, as three Marine divisions struggled in appalling conditions against an enemy for whom surrender was not an option. That April a massive Marine/Army operation against Okinawa was a foretaste of what could be expected in the proposed assault on the Japanese mainland. These battles were all characterised by savage fighting and heavy casualties on both sides. Employing archive colour and black & white photographs, maps and first-hand accounts, the author relates these pivotal battles to the wider struggle against the Japanese in the Pacific.
