“In When America Roared, Jonathan Kaufman draws together a bushel of figures who thrived in one fateful decade…[providing] useful insights along the way.” —New York Times Book Review The panoramic story of the 1980s, exploring the triumphs and failures of the decade that shaped the 21st century more than any other, from a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter who witnessed the transformations firsthand In January 1980, America seemed broken. Inflation raged. Interest rates topped 20 percent. Americans were held hostage in Iran. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan with impunity. Japan was eating American manufacturing alive. Three networks controlled what Americans watched. China had been closed for 30 years. Ten years later, everything had changed. The economy was booming. The Soviet Empire was collapsing. American businesses were competitive again. In this immersive, character-driven narrative, Jonathan Kaufman lays bare the contending ideologies—and people—who battled for control of business, media and politics in the 1980s, shaping the way we live today. As Ronald Reagan and conservatives pummeled the Democratic party, as Jack Welch redefined leadership at Fortune 500 companies, and as deregulation spearheaded by Mark Fowler allowed television to become the hundreds of specialized and partisan channels we watch now, the groundwork was laid for our current economic and political conflicts. The decade also launched transformative social and political movements. Karen Nussbaum and Jane Fonda galvanized a struggling women’s movement, Evan Wolfson spearheaded the gay community’s legal fight against a hostile government, and Barack Obama cut his teeth as a community organizer in Chicago—all building long-lasting movements whose success progressives can learn from today. From pivotal moments in board rooms and court rooms, to cultural touchstones like the birth of hip hop and of conservative talk radio, as well as the author’s eyewitness experiences in Tiananmen Square and Prague, When America Roared is the riveting story of how the 1980s built the world we live in, for better and for worse. It is the decade that made us—and the key to understanding where we go from here.

The gripping, definitive history of the Hindenburg disaster, the rise of the Nazis, and the road to World War II as never before told On the evening of May 6, 1937, the majestic German zeppelin Hindenburg arrived before cheering crowds in Lakehurst, New Jersey, when suddenly, a titanic inferno lit up the sky. Thirty-four seconds later, the greatest airship ever to take flight was gone, destroyed in a ferocious blaze and eternally seared into historical memory. Acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz unites groundbreaking research with thrilling narrative that situates this famous disaster squarely on the collision course between the decade’s two prevailing currents. The Hindenburg began as a symbol of hope and progress, a gleaming technological marvel in the nascent age of aviation. But soon, the airship of dreams became a propaganda tool powering the rising Nazi regime. In this sweeping drama, Katz illustrates the story of the Hindenburg through the captivating passengers and crew caught in the grip of fate: an adventurous heiress, a renowned vaudeville star, a Chicago industrialist with German Jewish roots, an esteemed zeppelin captain, and a young cabin boy on his first voyage to the United States. Meanwhile, on the ground, two intrepid journalists’ reporting on the Hindenburg fundamentally changed breaking news, paving the way for modern media. In this rigorously researched, ticking-clock account, Shadow Before the Flame offers a portrait of an era when illusions of peace, fueled by the hubris of invention, hovered in suspended time as the clouds of an inevitable war loomed on the horizon. Above all, it is a story of humanity and of lives forever changed by a moment that served as a harbinger for the global conflagration yet to come.

Based on years of in-depth reporting and sources from every corner of his life, Brady is the definitive biography of the life, career, and retirement of one of football’s most legendary figures, Tom Brady. New York Times bestselling author and former Sports Illustrated journalist Lars Anderson plunges into Tom Brady’s childhood to discover the origins of what Brady later described as his “sickness”: his category-five obsession with the game. The obsession dictated every choice Brady made, from what foods he ate to how he managed his day-to-day schedule to how he viewed his role as father to his three children and husband to supermodel Gisele Bündchen. From more than 350 original interviews with people who know the quarterback on and off the field, Anderson paints a detailed psychological portrait of Tom Brady, a self-described loner whose life is defined by discipline, resilience, a fascination with preparation, an intolerance for wasted time, and a relentless pursuit of the extraordinary. What he finds is a man riddled with contradiction, defined by both a prolific career of unmatched success on the field and the agonizing cost of greatness in his personal life. Brady is a comprehensive view of the life of the most accomplished player in the history of America’s game. Anderson digs deep behind the headlines to provide a richly detailed answer to one of the most vexing questions in sports: Who, really, is Tom Brady?

A groundbreaking investigative account of the life of the mogul who brought hip-hop to the mainstream, offering readers a riveting look at the empire he built and the destructive power of celebrity If not for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ability to harness the voice of hip-hop and package it via artists like Mary J. Blige and the Notorious B.I.G., the landscape of American—and world—music would look and sound entirely different. For decades, mainstream performers clamored to be close to Combs; his charisma, vision, and brand of cool transformed hip-hop culture into a multibillion-dollar powerhouse. While his acumen built an empire that reflected the biggest names in not only music but also fashion, business, and the bright lights of Hollywood, another side of Combs was hidden from public view. In Bad Boy for Life, journalist Cheyenne Roundtree vividly brings to life Combs’ early days and his rise to power. She also excavates the disturbing history of his alleged abuse. Through cultural insights, meticulous reporting, and in-depth interviews with more than one hundred sources, she examines Combs’ misuse of power that led to the criminal trial in 2025 that caused his kingdom to unravel. Ultimately, this account shows how Combs embodies the much bigger story of hip-hop’s ascension, the wider music industry, and fame’s sinister aspects. This is one of the most significant pop-culture stories of our time, one that charts the path of an impresario while asking questions about accountability and justice, who is believed and who is silenced, and why we protect the powerful. In Bad Boy for Life, Roundtree depicts the man in full, offering a comprehensive portrait of Combs’ astonishing rise and fall.

She told the truth. The Democrats destroyed her for it. Once a trusted Democratic insider, Lindy Li was on the frontlines as the party's leadership squandered over a billion dollars and a winnable election. But what she revealed in the aftermath was more damning than the loss itself. Behind closed doors, high-priced consultants pocketed fortunes while orchestrating catastrophe. Staffers muzzled donors and confiscated their phones at fundraisers. Celebrities pocketed massive checks for half-hearted performances or none at all. Elites cackled all the way to their book deals and golden parachutes, leaving only scorched earth: no bench, no brains, no backbone, no brand, and no future. When Li dared to say what everyone knew but no one would admit—that Joe Biden was too old to run—she lost everything. Friends vanished. Followers fled. Doors slammed. Love betrayed. Unburdened rips back the curtain on a rotten system that rewards failure and punishes honesty. This is the devastating story of a faithful lover jilted by a machine that never truly loved her back, only what she could give. The story of a woman who chose truth over tribe—and of the party that chose itself over America.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise comes the little-known story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists who were seen, but barely heard, at the 1963 March on Washington. "Chatelain lets us see the complexities of these women’s lives, feel their pain, and marvel at their ability to cut through the thicket of racism and sexism."—Carol Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of White Rage "Chatelain brilliantly reframes one of the most enduring images in American memory through the women erased from its frame."—Alexis Coe, New York Times bestselling author of You Never Forget Your First There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day's headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.” In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work. How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.

The definitive and riveting investigation into how Vladimir Putin successfully mounted a decade-long covert war against the United States and how Donald Trump aided and abetted the operation and upended America and the world How Russia Won tells the little-understood yet crucial story of how Vladimir Putin has waged a secret campaign to subvert and weaken the United States—and how Trump, his MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have served as useful idiots for the tyrannical Russian leader in his assault on America and the West. In this gripping tale of international intrigue and political skullduggery, David Corn, bestselling author and veteran investigative journalist: Details the Kremlin’s clandestine operations to fuel political discord in the U.S. politics and assist Trump that have been underway since 2016 Exposes the extensive, fierce, and non-stop efforts of Trump and his supporters to deny Russia’s years-long attack on the United States Delivers a tough truth: Trump and his allies have been complicit in Putin’s war on America This is the harrowing story of modern information warfare aimed at the U.S. by a nefarious foreign adversary and profound political betrayal at home. It is full of revelations and dramatic accounts of Russian intelligence operations targeting the United States; the Kremlin’s secret schemes to spread disinformation in 2020 and 2024 to boost Trump’s presidential campaigns; ties between Trump’s inner circle—including his personal attorney and his campaign manager—and Putin’s spies; Republican attempts to use Russian disinformation to protect Trump and smear Democrats; the bipartisan congressional investigation that blew apart Trump’s claim the Russia investigation was a hoax and raised troubling questions about his own interactions with Russia; and the never-ending propaganda campaign Trump and MAGA Republicans have pursued to cover up Putin’s clandestine intervention in U.S. politics. In this fast-paced and captivating work, Corn reveals and explores the bizarre episodes of this secret war. An FBI director receiving a big payment from a pro-Putin propagandist. A fugitive ex-Florida cop who fled to Moscow running disinformation operations that mislead millions of Americans. Rudy Giuliani colluding with a Russian agent. Trump and his GOP allies spouting falsehoods and Deep State conspiracy theories cooked up and spread by Putin’s spies and undercover trolls. A compelling narrative with the verve and twists of a spy novel—yet it’s all true—How Russia Won chronicles a deeply disturbing reality: Putin has succeeded in his twilight war against the United States by helping to land in the White House an agent of chaos, disruption, and authoritarianism who has exacerbated divisions within the United States, undermined American democracy, created conflict within the Western alliance, and diminished Washington’s standing across the globe. It’s a chilling account of Trump’s strange relationship with Putin and how both have gotten away with this assault on the United States. Here’s one of the most important stories of recent decades—with tremendous and wide-ranging implications for the future of the United States and the world. How Russia Won is indispensable for fully understanding what has happened to America in the Age of Trump.

From the acclaimed Pacific War historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist, the harrowing story of America’s bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the dramatic struggle to end World War II. At 9:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, an American bomber pierced the skies over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The single bomb it dropped unleashed an atomic hurricane that toppled homes, vaporized birds in flight, and carbonized humans. Three days later, a second bomb flattened the port city of Nagasaki. In the span of a mere 75 hours, the United States—a nation once morally opposed to the bombing of civilians—killed 120,000 men, women, and children, dooming tens of thousands more to agonizing death in the weeks and months ahead. Empire of Ashes explores the final brutal months of the war in the Pacific, featuring the voices of never-before-heard victims of the atomic bombs. Through interviews with survivors and accounts gleaned from Japanese sources, New York Times best-selling author James M. Scott combines the attacks’ heart-wrenching details with their causes and consequences, from debates within the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, Oakridge, and Hanford to the fallout that would alter decades of life in Japan. Scott also delves into the political maneuvering in Washington and Tokyo between two seemingly unlikely leaders—President Harry S. Truman and Emperor Hirohito—that led to unprecedented violence and, eventually, surrender. Scott grapples with questions that still haunt the detonation of the atomic bomb to this day: What justified the first and only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict? And how does a nation reconcile the pride of liberating millions, with its own unprecedented violence? With startling immediacy, Empire of Ashes illuminates the moral dilemma at the center of America’s decision to inflict total war upon Japan.

A groundbreaking book from the “Stress Reset Expert" reveals that contrary to popular belief, cortisol isn’t the enemy—it’s an essential hormone your body depends on to function, heal, and thrive, and the key to reclaiming your health is restoring your natural supply. For fans of Good Energy and Age Like a Girl. Our relationship to cortisol, the stress hormone, is often misconstrued. We believe cortisol is bad—something we want to lower and keep at bay. But here’s the truth: the migraines, bloating, mood swings, weight gain, and joint pain may not stem from too much cortisol at all. More often, they arise when your body’s cortisol levels are depleted. When you learn how your system really interacts with this vital hormone, you create the conditions for your body to repair, rebalance, and reset. In The Cortisol Cure, Dr. Erin Kinney introduces her powerful and accessible framework: the “Cortisol Bank Account.” Think of cortisol as the “currency” your body uses to generate energy, handle stress, heal, and perform at its best. When you rest, you earn cortisol. When stress demands your attention—physical, emotional or environmental —you spend it. And just like with any budget, when you consistently spend more than you earn, you slip into hormonal debt. This debt sends your body into survival mode and can manifest as a wide range of symptoms that feel mysterious or disconnected. This book maps the journey Dr. Kinney has used to help over 7,000 patients and clients heal their body, health, and life. You will: Understand what you want for your body—you’ll learn how to balance your relationship with cortisol in each area of your life. Read real patient stories that illustrate the science in clear, relatable, and empowering ways. Learn habits that you can put into practice—and that will stick for the long term. The Cortisol Cure is a wake-up call and action plan for anyone who doesn’t feel well and isn’t sure why, but needs to feel better. If you're human and you want to be well—this book is for you.

We’re living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from? All the Wrong Moves offers a new, eye-opening answer, rooted in history, business, and the author’s firsthand experience, that reveals the true origins of America’s current political crisis. In All the Wrong Moves, Anthony Scaramucci charts how both political parties, over three decades, made a series of catastrophic decisions that quietly dismantled the system supporting the American dream. First came Bill Clinton’s trade deal with China, which opened U.S. markets while abandoning American workers. Next, George W. Bush’s choice to wage war while cutting taxes, exploding the deficit. Finally, Barack Obama’s bank bailout, which saved Wall Street but left millions of ordinary families behind. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump’s rise and his ongoing assault on democracy and the rule of law. From the trading floors of Wall Street to the corridors of Washington, Scaramucci has witnessed how money, ambition, and hubris reshaped American politics. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he brings a rare insider’s perspective to how both parties lost touch with the people they once represented. But All the Wrong Moves isn’t just about how we got here—it’s about how we get out. Scaramucci lays out practical solutions, including economic policies to rebuild opportunity for the working class and constitutional reforms to protect our democracy. It’s a sharp, surprising critique that cuts through partisanship and challenges readers on the left, right, and center to reclaim what the American dream was always meant to be.

With a provocative follow up to his New York Times bestselling The Echo Machine, David Pakman offers a dire warning on the cultural and technological forces that are already melting our brains and transforming the pursuit of truth into an almost impossible, even quaint activity. Has the dystopian future of 1984 and Brave New World arrived? As Pakman forewarns in Pay Attention, we confront a very Orwellian threat of totalitarianism, as technological “advancements” have rendered us not just passive but willing participants in a Huxleyesque world where our humanity becomes swallowed by the Attention Economy. Drawing on his experience fighting in the digital trenches, Pakman illustrates how and why political news and commentary has become more fragmented, extreme, and divisive in a self-fulfilling, self-feeding media environment. His reports from the front line of the media and culture wars are beyond eye-opening, including: How he rose to prominence by methodical trial and error in an ever-changing media landscape How a requirement for controversy means we are already losing the battle for truth How audience capture is rewiring our brains The dark science behind thumbnails Why the Right is built for the Attention Economy The myth of media “independence” How the user has become the product…and why we no longer even need human creators to mine this product. The future is already here—and with AI creep, it’s only accelerating!

Transform hobbies to habits in this guide to pursuing the things you never thought you had time for, right now. “With a blend of memoir, motivation, and actionable strategy, Ravi Gupta shares how a high-achieving life left him burned-out, unfulfilled, and disconnected—and how he reignited his spirit by dedicating himself to learning a single skill each year.”—Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit We all have an “invisible list” of things that we say we’ll do when we finally have the time: learn guitar, take up tennis, write a book, plant a butterfly garden. But life—jobs, families, the obligations of being a person—always gets in the way. The Invisible List is a blueprint for making those goals real. And the first step? Giving yourself permission. From educator and civic entrepreneur Ravi Gupta comes a bold, inspiring approach to resurrecting your passions, no matter how limited your time or money. After realizing that he had stopped doing anything for the sheer love of it, Gupta shifted course and decided to dedicate a full year to becoming competent in one of his long-deferred hobbies. No quitting allowed. It soon became a yearly pursuit that has included taking on screenwriting, surfing, and powerlifting—and has led him to find new friends and a new focus and to discover that he is never too old to learn new things. Drawing on his successes as well as setbacks, Gupta shares how to create and fulfill your own invisible list, introducing concepts like • THE LAUNCHPAD: a building-block skill that gets you in shape for more challenging years • THE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME: an easy-to-access, affordable, and practical pursuit • THE MENTAL MARATHON: a mind-sharpening hobby that grows your memory • THE BIG ONE: something that takes a lot of time and resources—not impossible but requires planning • THE GIVEBACK: an undertaking that builds community, empathy, and relationships Part memoir, part guidebook, part manifesto, The Invisible List illustrates how to create a life worth living.

Grief isn't a problem to be solved – it's a teacher that shows up uninvited and refuses to leave until you've learned everything it has to offer In You’re Not Dead Yet, David Ferrugio, host of the acclaimed DEAD Talks Podcast with over one million followers, transforms his personal tragedy into a powerful exploration of life's most difficult moments. After losing his father in the World Trade Center on 9/11 when he was just twelve years old, Ferrugio has spent decades channeling his grief into meaningful conversations with celebrities, experts, and everyday people about death, spirituality, and the afterlife. This deeply personal yet universally resonant book doesn't offer easy answers or step-by-step healing guides – instead, it provides something far more valuable: honest companionship on the messy, unpredictable journey of grief and the profound insights that emerge from our darkest moments. Through raw storytelling, spiritual exploration, and unfiltered human connection, Ferrugio weaves together his own experiences with wisdom gathered from hundreds of podcast conversations about loss, near-death experiences, and what it means to truly live while carrying grief. Rather than presenting grief as a linear process with clear stages, he reveals it as a chaotic carousel of emotions that ultimately teaches us everything about what matters most. The book concludes with practical insights and perspectives that will help you discover your own path through loss and toward a deeper understanding of life's meaning. A touchstone for the millions navigating loss: With 2.5 million deaths annually in the United States leaving an average of five grieving people behind, this book serves as vital connection and community for those seeking to understand how others have walked this path and found meaning in their pain Raw insights from a powerful platform: Drawing from conversations with grief experts, celebrities, and everyday survivors featured on the DEAD Talks Podcast, and offering access to diverse perspectives on healing, spirituality, and resilience gathered from a community of over one million followers Honest exploration of life's biggest mysteries: Tackles questions about what happens after death, the role of spirituality in healing, and how our beliefs about the afterlife influence how we live, without pushing any single worldview or religious perspective Permission to grieve authentically: Challenges societal expectations about ”proper” grieving while giving readers permission to feel everything – including joy, humor, and hope – even while carrying profound loss Practical wisdom disguised as memoir: Combines personal storytelling with actionable insights about living fully, finding purpose after loss, and discovering the unexpected gifts that can emerge from life's most painful experiences This book speaks directly to anyone navigating grief or supporting someone through loss, including the millions of Americans who lose someone each year. Healthcare workers, therapists, religious leaders, and caregivers will find it an invaluable resource to share with those in their care. More broadly, You’re Not Dead Yet serves anyone seeking deeper meaning in life's inevitable challenges and those curious about mortality, spirituality, and what it truly means to be human. Whether you're in the depths of fresh grief or years into your journey, Ferrugio's honest, sometimes irreverent, always compassionate voice offers the rare gift of feeling truly understood in your pain while being gently guided toward hope.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben offers a look behind the curtain at his own writing process in an inspiring, candid memoir filled with indispensable insights and techniques. With 100 million books in print world-wide and over twenty blockbuster television and film adaptations of his work, Harlan Coben has much to teach us about the creative process. Part deeply personal memoir, part masterclass in storytelling, Plot Twist is a refreshingly honest look at the life of a writer whose stories have thrilled us for decades. Plumbing memories from his suburban childhood and his early years trying to break into publishing, Coben tells his own story for the first time, revealing the real-world inspirations for some of his most beloved characters as well as the innovative plots that drive his propulsive novels. Filled with useful tips and techniques on the creative process, Coben does away with the traditional "categories" of writing--characters, plot, setting, etc--and looks at the process holistically. Plot Twist is a masterclass on the act of being a writer, and everything that comes with it: the self‑doubt, the hubris, the contradictions, the passion and dedication. At the end of the day, his calculus is a simple one: "If it helps me produce pages, good. If it doesn't, bad." This book will help every aspiring writer produce pages. Honest, funny, insightful, and at times deeply moving, this is both a captivating memoir and an essential guide for anyone looking to master the art of storytelling from one of our most beloved authors.

From internationally acclaimed historian Timothy W. Ryback, the chilling chronicle of how Adolf Hitler overturned a constitutional democracy in less than eight weeks On September 25, 1930, Adolf Hitler appeared before Germany's Supreme Court and outlined his plans to destroy the Weimar Republic through democratic means. The judge asked, "So, only through constitutional means?" Hitler replied, "Jawohl!" Barely two years later, on January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed the fifteenth chancellor of the Weimar Republic. Within 53 days of that date, he had effected one of the most astonishing transformations in modern democracy, using the provisions of the Constitution to turn a democratic republic into an authoritarian state. Drawing from his 800-page political playbook, Mein Kampf, Hitler banned or neutered the print press and radio; purged the civil service and installed party loyalists; suspended civil liberties; compromised the courts; imposed Reich government control over the country's seventeen federated states; slapped draconian tariffs on trading partners; co-opted, imprisoned, or drove political opponents into exile; assumed control over the central bank; and then compelled the Reichstag, the country's legislative body, to pass an Enabling Act grantingHitler dictatorial power. Charting the key events of those dramatic days in taut and compelling prose, Timothy W. Ryback evokes the raw political power and increasing inevitability of Hitler's state capture, amid heroic efforts by journalists and social democrats to save the republic, underscoring Joseph Goebbels' alarming observation: "The big joke on democracy is that it provides its mortal enemies with the means to its own destruction."

The untold story of the Allies' secret weapon in occupied France. Peter J. Ortiz's path to becoming the most battle-decorated member of America's first spy agency--and one of the most decorated Marines of World War II--was unlike any other. Born in New York and raised between California and France, he would have stints as a merchant seaman, dude ranch manager, race car driver, lion tamer, circus performer, and Hollywood stuntman and actor. As a teenager, Ortiz ran away from boarding school in France to join the French Foreign Legion. He first experienced combat in North Africa against tribesmen in the Sahara. Fighting on the front lines against the Germans in 1940, he was badly wounded and captured. He repeatedly escaped, one time fleeing a hospital train after assuming the identity of a dead soldier. Docking in the US the day after Pearl Harbor, Ortiz enlisted in the Marine Corps. As someone who could speak French like a native--and get by in Arabic, German, and Spanish--the dashing former Legionnaire immediately stood out. Instead of being deployed to the Pacific like the majority of Marines, Ortiz was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)--America's World War II forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency--for special operations in North Africa and Europe. In 1944, Ortiz parachuted into France on two top-secret inter-Allied missions. Operating deep behind enemy lines, he traveled throughout Southeastern France--at times donning his Marine uniform--arming and training the Maquis, blowing up Nazi infrastructure, and aiding downed Allied airmen. Rotating his many covers--including as a fashion designer and minor Vichy government official--he infiltrated Nazi gatherings and funneled intelligence about German positions back to OSS London ahead of D-Day. By the time he escaped across the Pyrenees, he was among the Gestapo's most wanted. Two months after the Normandy landings, Ortiz jumped back into the French Alps, this time with a team of Americans he recruited for "Le Grand Parachutage," a drop that sent more than 150 tons of supplies raining down to the Maquis to fight the Axis. When his six-man patrol was surrounded by more than one hundred Germans at the village of Centron, Ortiz faced a choice: fight the enemy or save the village from Nazi annihilation. A rare Marine in the European Theater, he received two Navy Crosses. Ortiz's story--an untold corner of World War II history--is one of extraordinary courage, resistance, and self-sacrifice.

"Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn't either, until after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country that most media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA. What began as curiosity became--one story at a time--an intimate, revealing portrait of America today. From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals' homes, Your Fellow Americans captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn't a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: people who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we're more alike than we are different."--

One dog's love. One man's journey. When Matthew Sigman's beloved dog, Augie, died, his world fell apart. His boyfriend broke up with him. His work dried up. Even the ceiling of his West Village apartment collapsed. Heartbroken and adrift, Matthew did the only thing he could--he ran. An impulsive escape to Europe didn't lead to the cafés of Paris or the islands of Greece. Instead, thanks to a fluke in an Airbnb map, he landed in Quarna, a remote Italian mountain village seemingly hidden from tourists--and from time itself. There, amid winding cobblestone streets and alpine silence, Matthew stumbled into an unlikely friendship and madcap adventures with an exuberant innkeeper, Valerio, and discovered the warmth of a community that welcomed him as one of their own. In Because of a Dog, Matthew traces a journey from profound grief to unexpected renewal, from isolation to connection. With wit, poignancy, and hard-won insight, this memoir is a reminder that sometimes, when all seems lost, it takes a village to mend a broken heart.

A brutally and hilariously unfiltered look at being middle-aged-plus in an absurd modern world by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Excuse Me While I Disappear. Laurie Notaro can time travel. The portal is Scottsdale, Arizona. Once inside her elderly parents' home, she's a child again--who's two years away from collecting Social Security. Caught between generations, Laurie is young enough to be thrust into the role of caregiver yet old enough to be grappling with her own creaking bones and analog life skills. It's an awkward age. Navigating it is just a matter of winging it. She runs rampant through Italy with her American driving skills. Infuriating office politics leave her little choice but revenge and some hexes. Laurie also confronts a high school bully at a reunion, considers an elaborate funeral at a puppet theater, and fancies an ideal retirement plan involving bank robbery. As for sex at sixty, honestly, it's a challenge. The parts are a little rusty (at least they sound that way). Regardless of indignity or mishap, the #1 New York Times bestselling author finds agency with the sharp wit of a woman who refuses to go gently into that good night.

An intimate, story-driven cookbook that explores the idea of cooking and eating as an act of self-care, with 65 time-tested and nourishing recipes from the James Beard Award–winning author of Where Cooking Begins and New York Times bestseller, That Sounds So Good Carla has been writing about food, family, and feelings for many years, and she’s always known that her recipes were about more than sustenance. The 65 recipes and 30 essays in Food Is a Feeling are a powerful reminder of the nurturing, fulfilling, and joyful role that food plays in all of our lives, a very human account of beauty and challenges balancing each other like butter and salt. For her, cooking is an expression of love. That core belief was put to the test the year she got divorced. As Carla started figuring out who she was going to be on the other side of a 24-year marriage, she took note of the cravings she was having and the meals she wanted to make, and honored those desires by making herself something to eat: Lemony Chickpea Stew with Rice; Personal Pot of Beans and Greens; Salad Sandwich, to name a few. She was flooded with delicious memories—her mom’s Saturday Night Alfredo, the Extremely Floofy Vanilla Pancakes she makes for her children, and the Crispy-Skinned Fish with Olives and Lemons and Burnt Caramel Rhubarb Compote she learned on the line in some of New York City’s most demanding restaurant kitchens. Over time, she realizes the creative, transformative work that happens in the kitchen is a potent antidote for the hurdles she has yet to overcome. The food, the passage of time, and the lessons gained—all of it became perfectly intertwined. In writing that is revealing, relatable, and funny, Carla uses rich context from her own life to make the case that food is so much more than just fuel, and yes, we should eat our feelings. After all, they’re delicious.

The spectacular rise and dramatic fall of super-assassin Carlos the Jackal—one of history’s most infamous terrorist masterminds and the inspiration for numerous celebrated works of pop culture—told with new revelations from the Jackal himself, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Black Flags. A black-bereted, gun-slinging avatar of one of the most turbulent eras in global politics, Carlos the Jackal burst onto the world stage in 1975 as the first true celebrity terrorist and the TV-ready face of a violent Palestinian resistance movement that was then just beginning to gain traction. In a bloody career that would ultimately span three decades, Carlos innovated a new kind of spectacular terrorism, one that embraced hijackings, hostage crises, airport bombings, and international assassinations. And he personally masterminded one of the era’s most shocking crimes: the kidnapping for ransom of an entire conference of world oil ministers in Vienna. The polar opposite of most modern terrorists, Carlos prized large paychecks over ideology and styled himself as a swashbuckling lady’s man who, despite his charm, murdered his victims with callous disregard, often with his own hand. Today, even from behind bars, Carlos can see his influence continue to reverberate. Through newly declassified archives, secret police files, long-repressed eyewitness accounts, and a rare interview with the Jackal himself, acclaimed journalist Joby Warrick reveals Carlos’ far-reaching legacy as a pioneer of borderless terrorist attacks designed for television. During his twenty years on the run, the terrorist-for-hire would become a secret weapon used by autocrats to covertly attack their foes. In the process he helped transform how modern societies deal with a new kind of threat: a singular criminal mind that approaches terror with a professional’s devotion to craft.

In a trenchant work of nonfiction, the #1 New York Times bestselling author identifies a series of self-inflicted wounds on our body politic that have led to the current moment, and shows us how we can undo the harm From regrettable court decisions to wrong-headed policy initiatives and underhanded political maneuvers, the bestselling author makes the case that our descent into authoritarianism was not inevitable. In Tripwires, Richard North Patterson, whose works of fiction have sold over 25 million copies and whose novel on presidential politics, Protect and Defend, was a #1 New York Times bestseller, points to fifteen key moments in the past quarter-century when the country mis-stepped in a way that could have been avoided but instead took us closer to the brink. Starting with the Supreme Court's intervention in the presidential election that brought George W. Bush to power, Patterson traces a constellation of often under-appreciated turning points that runs through the accidental accession of John Roberts as Chief Justice and the moment of crisis when the subprime mortgages came due, to Donald Trump's demand to see Barack Obama's birth certificate, Marco Rubio's sabotage of his own immigration reform bill, and Mitch McConnell's refusal to convict Trump for his attempted coup, culminating in the Roberts Court establishing presidential autocracy. Patterson's near-encyclopedic knowledge of recent U.S. history along with his political acumen and training as a trial lawyer allow him to show cause and effect in a truly synthetic way, building his case for our march to the dark side one wrong turn at a time. His final chapters show the way out of our current morass, offering hope for America's future.

“A huge majority of Americans love our country and want a healthier, happier civic life. Governor Spencer Cox’s Off Ramp is the guide we need to get us there.” —Arthur C. Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Meaning of Your Life “A levelheaded recipe for getting away from the death spiral of partisanship that threatens to extinguish the supremely American virtues of compromise, resilience, problem-solving, and empathy. . . . A road map for restoration and repair.” —Ken Burns, two-time Academy Award nominee and Emmy and Peabody Award–winning producer and director of The Civil War and The American Revolution Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s practical guide to depolarization teaches us how to disagree better at the dinner table, on social media, and in American politics In September 2025, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Governor Spencer Cox stood at a podium and addressed a fractured and grieving nation. He urged Americans to find a way to stop hating one another, or—at the very least, he said—to stop shooting each other. His words were balm to a nation desperate for an off ramp from rising political violence. But a single speech cannot transform a country. It takes all of us working together. It takes a blueprint for healing, depolarization, and peacemaking. Off Ramp is that blueprint. In this practical and patriotic guide, Governor Cox pulls from his experience at the highest levels of civic leadership and cutting-edge depolarization research to encourage Americans to disagree better and restore the respect that we once had even for our political rivals. As America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it’s time to remember what makes America strong, and leave behind the behaviors and rhetoric that threaten to destroy us.

An epic, emotionally charged novel about love, art, and survival spanning 1900s colonial India to Blitz-era London by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids. In the shadow of the London Blitz, artist Elsie Turner clings fiercely to her canvases, refusing to let war dim the colors that define her. The bombs test her nerve, but the struggle also stirs memories of her golden youth in India and of the long-lost love of her life. The daughter of a British civil servant in the Himalayan station of Nainital, Elsie crosses cultural divides to forge an unlikely bond with Tanveer Singh, a Sikh prince with hopes, dreams, and far-reaching ideas. What begins as shared sketchbooks and stargazing becomes first love and a secret correspondence. When Elsie's father is summoned to England, Elsie is severed from the world she knows--and is determined to preserve it through both her art and a connection with Tanveer that endures through the most tumultuous years of their lives. Across four decades and two continents, Elsie navigates a journey from lush colonial India to war-torn London, amid landscapes of beauty, protest, and peril. As past and present collide, the most impossible choices and sacrifices are yet to be made in the name of love, war, and survival.

Beloved actress and New York Times best-selling author Valerie Bertinelli returns with a heartfelt look at turning sixty, the futility of finding happiness in numbers on a scale, learning to love herself the way she is today, and tips for a healthier outlook on life. Valerie Bertinelli shares an inspiring blueprint that offers women in midlife support and hope. She shares personal stories that many women will relate to from her past decade: hitting her fifties, taking care of her dying mother, the evolving relationship with her husband, a career change, her relationship with food, and the battle to believe in herself as she is. Despite her success receiving Emmys for her Food Network show and critical praise for her books and cookbook, Bertinelli still judged herself harshly if she gained a pound or showed too many wrinkles. But after her mother died, she found an old recipe box with notes of the strong women that came before her, reminding her that she has to find out who she is and take care of herself. Saying, "enough already!" Bertinelli set out on a journey to love herself and see that perfection is not the goal; it's the joy we can find every day in our lives, our loved ones, and the food we share. Recipes and advice will be sprinkled throughout the book.

Born into the glittering world of New York high society, Mary Pyle seemed destined for a life of comfort, culture, and worldly influence. Instead, she followed a call to a remote mountain town in Southern Italy and would thereafter be bound to one of the greatest saints of the modern age, Padre Pio. And now, Mary's own cause for canonization is in its opening stages. At the dawn of the twentieth century, as waves of European immigrants were arriving on New York City's shores, old American dynasties such as the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Carnegies mingled with newly wealthy families of the Gilded Age, including the McAlpins and the Pyles. It was into this world of privilege, Protestantism, and social expectation that Adelia McAlpin Pyle, later known as Mary, was born. Yet it was through the humble witness of her Irish Catholic nanny that she would encounter, as a child, the unmistakable presence of Christ -- encounters that marked her soul forever. As her sense deepened that the Presence she felt at Mass was real, her family tried to suppress it. But her conviction only grew stronger. As a young woman, Mary traveled widely through Europe as an interpreter for Maria Montessori, moving with ease through intellectual and cultural circles. But truth demanded everything of her. At twenty-eight, she entered the Catholic Church -- losing her inheritance and her mother's affection yet embracing the sacrifice with serenity and courage. Then came the whispers of a friar bearing the wounds of Christ. When Mary finally met Padre Pio in 1923, his simple words -- "Remain here" -- ignited a fire that would define the rest of her life. Though she tried to leave, she found herself unable to do so, drawn as she was into a hidden mission she could not yet fully grasp. What followed was a life of extraordinary charity lived in profound humility. At Padre Pio's side, Mary became a bridge between souls and a saint, founding a "house of charity" that served as a refuge for the sick, the suffering, soldiers, the poor, and the forgotten. With her gift for languages, her keen intellect, and her listening heart, she formed countless souls in the Faith -- many of them young men who would become priests -- and offered healing to those burdened by wounds seen and unseen. Mary Pyle's life was not loud or dramatic but filled with love. Ordinary in appearance, heroic in self-gift, hers was a holiness shaped by obedience, Eucharistic devotion, and total trust. Today, as her cause for canonization gets underway, her story invites us to listen more closely to God's quiet call -- and to discover where love, when followed fully, might lead us.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER The true story of two African-American brothers who were kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother endured a 28-year struggle to get them back. The year was 1899 and the place a sweltering tobacco farm in the Jim Crow South town of Truevine, Virginia. George and Willie Muse were two little boys born to a sharecropper family. One day a white man offered them a piece of candy, setting off events that would take them around the world and change their lives forever. Captured into the circus, the Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a pre-broadcast era. But the very root of their success was in the color of their skin and in the outrageous caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals, sheep-headed freaks, even "Ambassadors from Mars." Back home, their mother never accepted that they were "gone" and spent 28 years trying to get them back. Through hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Beth Macy expertly explores a central and difficult question: Where were the brothers better off? On the world stage as stars or in poverty at home? TRUEVINE is a compelling narrative rich in historical detail and rife with implications to race relations today.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by The New York Times “Daylight Come takes us to places no biography in recent memory has . . . This book fills the heart and mind, and is essential reading for our times.” —Hilton Als A vibrant, revealing portrait of the "King of Calypso," whose extraordinary performing career and activism helped remake America through the civil rights era and beyond Even three years after his death, Harry Belafonte is everywhere. You can’t go to a wedding, or to a sports arena, without hearing “Day-O,” “Jump in the Line,” or “Jamaica Farewell.” The Harlem-born son of Caribbean immigrants, Belafonte turned the folk music of the islands into American pop—and shaped the fantasy of Caribbean life that endures as an ideal and as a multibillion-dollar tourist industry. Belafonte released the first million-selling LP in history. He was America’s first Black movie star, the first Black person to produce a prime-time special on network TV, and the first to win an Emmy Award. He was once the highest-paid Black performer of all time, beloved by Black and white fans alike, even under segregation. His artistic career helped create the pop culture of the twentieth century—and his political activism reshaped the course of American history. In this sparkling new biography, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro brings Belafonte’s personality and music vibrantly to life, following him from rags to riches and from Harlem to Jamaica to the March on Washington. Jelly-Schapiro takes us inside Belafonte’s lifelong brotherhood with Sidney Poitier, his friendship with Fidel Castro, his collaboration with Nelson Mandela, and the sometimes shocking therapeutic relationships his difficult upbringing necessitated. At the heart of the story is Belafonte’s bond with Martin Luther King Jr., whose cause Belafonte would champion for the rest of his life. That commitment to the greater good would sustain him and benefit untold numbers—and would come at a cost. The indelible story of an American icon—and a provocative study of authenticity, fame, and conviction—Daylight Come is, like Harry Belafonte himself, brimming with style and consequence.

A National Jewish Book Awards Finalist WINNER, ZIBBY AWARDS FOR BEST FAMILY DRAMA & BEST STORY OF OVERCOMING Weaving mystery, history and memoir, Irena’s Gift is the captivating account of one woman’s personal quest to uncover the unspoken and give voice to her family’s secret war-torn history. From the glittering concert halls of interbellum Warsaw to the vermin-infested prison where an SS officer is convinced to save a Jewish child’s life, to the author’s upbringing in a Christian home, this is a story of resilience, sacrifice, Jewish identity, intergenerational trauma, and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves and those we love. For readers of When Time Stopped by Ariana Neumann, I Want You to Know We’re Still Here by Esther Safran Foer, and House of Glass by Hadley Freeman. "Irena’s Gift interrogates the messy complexity of family, both its tenderness and nurture but also its corrosive anger and rejection.” —GERALDINE BROOKS, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner “I'm here to find an SS officer,” I told the muscled man in uniform peering at me through the sentry window at the Berlin Archives. “The man saved my mother,” I added in German, smiling at the guard almost apologetically. In 1942, in German-occupied Poland, a Jewish baby girl was smuggled out of the Warsaw ghetto in a backpack. That baby, Joasia, knew nothing about this extraordinary event until she was 32, when a letter arrived from a stranger. She also learned that the parents who raised her were actually her aunt and uncle. Joasia kept this knowledge hidden from her own daughter, Karen—until an innocent question unexpectedly revealed the truth. Determined to understand the generational trauma that cloaked her family in silence, her own origins, and to help heal her mother’s pain, Karen set out to unearth decades of secrets. Piecing together a hidden history—from the glittering days of pre-war Poland to the little-known Radom Prison, where of 500 resistance members tortured, only 10 survived, her grandfather the only known Jewish one—Karen finds answers, yet not easy ones. As she exposes her family’s saga of love and betrayal, and the astounding negotiation with an SS officer who saved her mother’s life, Karen must reconcile the complicated truths behind human behavior. Irena’s Gift weaves together a mystery, history, and memoir to tell a story of sacrifice, impossible choices, impossible odds, and the way trauma reverberates throughout generations. Yet it is also a story of resilience and bravery, revealing how love and hope, too, can not only prevail through the worst imaginable circumstances, but resonate through time.

In this witty, absurd, and surprisingly moving memoir-in-essays, comedian Alison Leiby unpacks the multitudes women are told to be—and the joy of refusing to pick just one. “Alison Leiby is the Jewish millennial David Sedaris. Reading this book was like having a glass of wine with your funniest, smartest, and coolest friend.”—Bess Kalb, author of Nobody Will Tell You This But Me Have you ever frozen when someone asks, “So, tell me about yourself?” If so, take a page from I'm a Lot. Alison Leiby proudly embraces the identities we’re often encouraged to hide: Housewives stan. Discount shopaholic. Former jock. Happily single. Childless by choice and proud cat mom. Through these different roles and identities, Leiby reveals her hard-earned wisdom about what it’s like to be a woman who does it all (except for the things that make her say “uh, no thank you”). When she was nineteen years old, a complication from back surgery left Leiby on her deathbed. After a surprising recovery, you might assume Leiby was ready to seize life by the you-know-whats. But instead of letting this one miraculous experience define her, Leiby’s brush with death made her realize there is nothing more beautiful in this life than just getting to be yourself. And while women are still expected to conform to many patriarchal labels, Leiby ignores the pressure to be palatable and instead champions all the joyful, weird, and complicated selves she brings to the world. In fourteen personal essays full of deadpan jokes, tender moments of candid introspection, and insightful social commentary, Leiby encourages us to ditch the manufactured Instagram persona and embrace the fact that sometimes the puzzle pieces don’t always fit to create a perfect picture, but that doesn’t mean we are incomplete.

In this inspiring memoir, a Black woman pilot leading the way for others shares her journey of fulfilling a lifelong dream to fly—and how she rediscovered her passion in the face of tragedy and adversity. Captain Nia Gilliam woke up on September 11 ready to soar. Having dreamt of the skies since she was a child, Gilliam grew up believing nothing was out of reach. But what starts as a beautiful day to fly turns into a harrowing experience. While waiting to be cleared for takeoff, Gilliam sees smoke pouring from the North Tower of the World Trade Center. From the co-pilot’s seat, she witnesses United Airlines Flight 175 crash into the South Tower. As the Twin Towers burn, Gilliam summons up the resolve to fly. But as soon as she lands, Gilliam and her dedication to the skies are forever shaken. Cleared for Takeoff recounts the unforgettable day Gilliam escapes from the chaos of what she witnessed alongside a coming-of-age story of a young woman whose dreams were nurtured. Through it all, Gilliam honors Black aviators such as Bessie Coleman, Janet Harmon Bragg, and the Tuskegee Airmen, who paved the way for her and other pilots. These heroes instilled the confidence in Gilliam to secure a seat where few Black women had a place set for them. Yet as her career reaches new heights, navigating the aftermath of a national tragedy changes air travel forever. And when Gilliam receives shocking personal news, she must reconcile who she is beyond the dream she’s worked so hard for. From her first flight to that fateful day, Captain Nia Gilliam’s journey demonstrates how sacrifice, determination, and love helped her find her way back into the pilot’s seat. Cleared for Takeoff is Gilliam’s triumphant story of courage, the redemptive power of turning tragedy into purpose, and one woman’s unwavering faith in herself.

The story of how one misunderstood disease became the global blueprint for stigma and ostracization Outcast: A History of Leprosy, Humanity and the Modern World reveals leprosy as the world’s foundational stigma, underlying the colonialism, exclusion, and exploitation that has shaped contemporary life. After hearing leprosy being used as an anti-immigration dog whistle, Oliver Basciano began a journey into the past, uncovering how this ancient disease has been weaponized, used to justify forced exile and social ostracism around the world. Traveling from the last leprosarium in Europe to remote villages in Mozambique, from Siberian settlements to Brazil’s hinterlands, Basciano builds a history that centers the voices of patients and those forced into the colony system. Along the way, he finds communities formed in exile, patient activism, and the persistent human capacity for joy. In this pulsating, compassionate book, the trope of medieval suffering is transformed into a bitingly relevant study of hope and solidarity.

In the vein of Writing My Wrongs, a memoir from a young man sentenced to life in prison, who gave such a moving speech during his trial that the judge left his position and fought to free him, shining a light on the prison industrial complex and showing how potential remains locked behind bars. Were our world more just, Chris Young would probably have a doctorate or be the CEO of a tech company instead of having spent eleven years in prison. The Wound Is Where the Light Enters takes readers through the impossible circumstances of Chris's childhood and young adulthood in poverty and addiction-ridden Clarksville, Tennessee--circumstances that made prison, or death, look all but inevitable. At the age of 22, he was arrested on drug charges, and because of draconian sentencing laws, given a life sentence. Once imprisoned, however, he fought against the nihilism all around him and the trauma of his past, and doggedly pursued an intellectual life: He studied philosophy, art, archaeology, anthropology, history, economics, astrophysics, cosmology, quantum physics, biology, philology, and politics, learned to play the stock market, and taught himself how to code without a computer. As shown in this stunning memoir, Chris's mind is an indictment of how much potential remains locked up behind bars, at a time when we are reexamining our prison system like never before. More than an issue-driven book, however, The Wound Is Where the Light Enters is an homage to books themselves, and an exploration of what it means to be self-educated in the purest sense.

Eva Benefield, the daughter of the victim of the viral “Black Swan Murder,” describes coming of age amid grief, violence, and a true-crime spectacle, in a poignant memoir "relatable to anyone who’s experienced grief or witnessed evil up close. Eva tells her story with grace and even humor in these pages” (Shari Franke, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The House of My Mother). Eva was still in high school when her mother died suddenly of a heart attack. Within a year, her father marries Ashley Byers, a twenty-four-year-old former bikini model he has only known for a few weeks. “She looked sharp,” Eva says of her strange new stepmother, “like if you touched her you might bleed.” After a few months, Ashley convinces her new husband to open an international ballet company in Charleston, South Carolina. But soon the money runs out and Ashley shoots and kills Eva’s father. The crime was dubbed in the news media as “The Black Swan Murder.” Eva, now orphaned and in college, is suddenly “awash in tabloid gore” and must figure out how to make rent and survive. Reeling from the sudden loss of both her parents and the looming criminal trial of her stepmother, Eva begins to navigate the confusing world of adulthood all alone. “You don’t have a choice about a lot of stuff, especially when you’re a girl,” Eva says. “The things that changed my life were not my choices. They were other people’s decisions, people who really should have known better.” From losing friends who can’t understand the nature of her new reality, to processing her grief and anger as she slowly pulls herself together and begins to chart a new path forward, Eva confronts the triumphs and challenges of a truly incredible situation head on in this unforgettable memoir.

Glory, Grief, and the Gavel takes readers deep into the high-stakes world of Capitol Hill, pulling back the curtain on what it takes to lead one of the most complex and unruly institutions in America: the U.S. House of Representatives. While presidential elections hinge on tens of millions of votes, the speakership—the third-highest office in the land and second in line to the presidency—can be decided by just 218. Written by former top congressional advisor John Leganski, this vivid personal memoir chronicles a decade-long battle for the gavel that ultimately erupted in the dramatic January 2023 floor fight to elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Over the course of five extraordinary days and fifteen ballots, the contest became the first multi-ballot vote for Speaker in a century, the longest such struggle since the Civil War, and a defining moment in modern House history. Filled with never-before-reported scenes from a showdown that captivated the nation and the world, this rare front-row account doubles as a Rosetta Stone for understanding today’s Republican Party and the unforgiving realities of Washington politics. Along the way, Leganski offers hard-won lessons in leadership, the art of vote counting, and the human cost of wielding power in the People’s House. If you’ve ever wondered how Speakers are chosen, why congressional leadership elections turn into political warfare, or what really happens in the rooms the cameras never see, Glory, Grief, and the Gavel delivers an unflinching and unforgettable answer.

“In When America Roared, Jonathan Kaufman draws together a bushel of figures who thrived in one fateful decade…[providing] useful insights along the way.” —New York Times Book Review The panoramic story of the 1980s, exploring the triumphs and failures of the decade that shaped the 21st century more than any other, from a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter who witnessed the transformations firsthand In January 1980, America seemed broken. Inflation raged. Interest rates topped 20 percent. Americans were held hostage in Iran. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan with impunity. Japan was eating American manufacturing alive. Three networks controlled what Americans watched. China had been closed for 30 years. Ten years later, everything had changed. The economy was booming. The Soviet Empire was collapsing. American businesses were competitive again. In this immersive, character-driven narrative, Jonathan Kaufman lays bare the contending ideologies—and people—who battled for control of business, media and politics in the 1980s, shaping the way we live today. As Ronald Reagan and conservatives pummeled the Democratic party, as Jack Welch redefined leadership at Fortune 500 companies, and as deregulation spearheaded by Mark Fowler allowed television to become the hundreds of specialized and partisan channels we watch now, the groundwork was laid for our current economic and political conflicts. The decade also launched transformative social and political movements. Karen Nussbaum and Jane Fonda galvanized a struggling women’s movement, Evan Wolfson spearheaded the gay community’s legal fight against a hostile government, and Barack Obama cut his teeth as a community organizer in Chicago—all building long-lasting movements whose success progressives can learn from today. From pivotal moments in board rooms and court rooms, to cultural touchstones like the birth of hip hop and of conservative talk radio, as well as the author’s eyewitness experiences in Tiananmen Square and Prague, When America Roared is the riveting story of how the 1980s built the world we live in, for better and for worse. It is the decade that made us—and the key to understanding where we go from here.

The gripping, definitive history of the Hindenburg disaster, the rise of the Nazis, and the road to World War II as never before told On the evening of May 6, 1937, the majestic German zeppelin Hindenburg arrived before cheering crowds in Lakehurst, New Jersey, when suddenly, a titanic inferno lit up the sky. Thirty-four seconds later, the greatest airship ever to take flight was gone, destroyed in a ferocious blaze and eternally seared into historical memory. Acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz unites groundbreaking research with thrilling narrative that situates this famous disaster squarely on the collision course between the decade’s two prevailing currents. The Hindenburg began as a symbol of hope and progress, a gleaming technological marvel in the nascent age of aviation. But soon, the airship of dreams became a propaganda tool powering the rising Nazi regime. In this sweeping drama, Katz illustrates the story of the Hindenburg through the captivating passengers and crew caught in the grip of fate: an adventurous heiress, a renowned vaudeville star, a Chicago industrialist with German Jewish roots, an esteemed zeppelin captain, and a young cabin boy on his first voyage to the United States. Meanwhile, on the ground, two intrepid journalists’ reporting on the Hindenburg fundamentally changed breaking news, paving the way for modern media. In this rigorously researched, ticking-clock account, Shadow Before the Flame offers a portrait of an era when illusions of peace, fueled by the hubris of invention, hovered in suspended time as the clouds of an inevitable war loomed on the horizon. Above all, it is a story of humanity and of lives forever changed by a moment that served as a harbinger for the global conflagration yet to come.

Based on years of in-depth reporting and sources from every corner of his life, Brady is the definitive biography of the life, career, and retirement of one of football’s most legendary figures, Tom Brady. New York Times bestselling author and former Sports Illustrated journalist Lars Anderson plunges into Tom Brady’s childhood to discover the origins of what Brady later described as his “sickness”: his category-five obsession with the game. The obsession dictated every choice Brady made, from what foods he ate to how he managed his day-to-day schedule to how he viewed his role as father to his three children and husband to supermodel Gisele Bündchen. From more than 350 original interviews with people who know the quarterback on and off the field, Anderson paints a detailed psychological portrait of Tom Brady, a self-described loner whose life is defined by discipline, resilience, a fascination with preparation, an intolerance for wasted time, and a relentless pursuit of the extraordinary. What he finds is a man riddled with contradiction, defined by both a prolific career of unmatched success on the field and the agonizing cost of greatness in his personal life. Brady is a comprehensive view of the life of the most accomplished player in the history of America’s game. Anderson digs deep behind the headlines to provide a richly detailed answer to one of the most vexing questions in sports: Who, really, is Tom Brady?

A groundbreaking investigative account of the life of the mogul who brought hip-hop to the mainstream, offering readers a riveting look at the empire he built and the destructive power of celebrity If not for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ability to harness the voice of hip-hop and package it via artists like Mary J. Blige and the Notorious B.I.G., the landscape of American—and world—music would look and sound entirely different. For decades, mainstream performers clamored to be close to Combs; his charisma, vision, and brand of cool transformed hip-hop culture into a multibillion-dollar powerhouse. While his acumen built an empire that reflected the biggest names in not only music but also fashion, business, and the bright lights of Hollywood, another side of Combs was hidden from public view. In Bad Boy for Life, journalist Cheyenne Roundtree vividly brings to life Combs’ early days and his rise to power. She also excavates the disturbing history of his alleged abuse. Through cultural insights, meticulous reporting, and in-depth interviews with more than one hundred sources, she examines Combs’ misuse of power that led to the criminal trial in 2025 that caused his kingdom to unravel. Ultimately, this account shows how Combs embodies the much bigger story of hip-hop’s ascension, the wider music industry, and fame’s sinister aspects. This is one of the most significant pop-culture stories of our time, one that charts the path of an impresario while asking questions about accountability and justice, who is believed and who is silenced, and why we protect the powerful. In Bad Boy for Life, Roundtree depicts the man in full, offering a comprehensive portrait of Combs’ astonishing rise and fall.

She told the truth. The Democrats destroyed her for it. Once a trusted Democratic insider, Lindy Li was on the frontlines as the party's leadership squandered over a billion dollars and a winnable election. But what she revealed in the aftermath was more damning than the loss itself. Behind closed doors, high-priced consultants pocketed fortunes while orchestrating catastrophe. Staffers muzzled donors and confiscated their phones at fundraisers. Celebrities pocketed massive checks for half-hearted performances or none at all. Elites cackled all the way to their book deals and golden parachutes, leaving only scorched earth: no bench, no brains, no backbone, no brand, and no future. When Li dared to say what everyone knew but no one would admit—that Joe Biden was too old to run—she lost everything. Friends vanished. Followers fled. Doors slammed. Love betrayed. Unburdened rips back the curtain on a rotten system that rewards failure and punishes honesty. This is the devastating story of a faithful lover jilted by a machine that never truly loved her back, only what she could give. The story of a woman who chose truth over tribe—and of the party that chose itself over America.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise comes the little-known story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists who were seen, but barely heard, at the 1963 March on Washington. "Chatelain lets us see the complexities of these women’s lives, feel their pain, and marvel at their ability to cut through the thicket of racism and sexism."—Carol Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of White Rage "Chatelain brilliantly reframes one of the most enduring images in American memory through the women erased from its frame."—Alexis Coe, New York Times bestselling author of You Never Forget Your First There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day's headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.” In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work. How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.

The definitive and riveting investigation into how Vladimir Putin successfully mounted a decade-long covert war against the United States and how Donald Trump aided and abetted the operation and upended America and the world How Russia Won tells the little-understood yet crucial story of how Vladimir Putin has waged a secret campaign to subvert and weaken the United States—and how Trump, his MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have served as useful idiots for the tyrannical Russian leader in his assault on America and the West. In this gripping tale of international intrigue and political skullduggery, David Corn, bestselling author and veteran investigative journalist: Details the Kremlin’s clandestine operations to fuel political discord in the U.S. politics and assist Trump that have been underway since 2016 Exposes the extensive, fierce, and non-stop efforts of Trump and his supporters to deny Russia’s years-long attack on the United States Delivers a tough truth: Trump and his allies have been complicit in Putin’s war on America This is the harrowing story of modern information warfare aimed at the U.S. by a nefarious foreign adversary and profound political betrayal at home. It is full of revelations and dramatic accounts of Russian intelligence operations targeting the United States; the Kremlin’s secret schemes to spread disinformation in 2020 and 2024 to boost Trump’s presidential campaigns; ties between Trump’s inner circle—including his personal attorney and his campaign manager—and Putin’s spies; Republican attempts to use Russian disinformation to protect Trump and smear Democrats; the bipartisan congressional investigation that blew apart Trump’s claim the Russia investigation was a hoax and raised troubling questions about his own interactions with Russia; and the never-ending propaganda campaign Trump and MAGA Republicans have pursued to cover up Putin’s clandestine intervention in U.S. politics. In this fast-paced and captivating work, Corn reveals and explores the bizarre episodes of this secret war. An FBI director receiving a big payment from a pro-Putin propagandist. A fugitive ex-Florida cop who fled to Moscow running disinformation operations that mislead millions of Americans. Rudy Giuliani colluding with a Russian agent. Trump and his GOP allies spouting falsehoods and Deep State conspiracy theories cooked up and spread by Putin’s spies and undercover trolls. A compelling narrative with the verve and twists of a spy novel—yet it’s all true—How Russia Won chronicles a deeply disturbing reality: Putin has succeeded in his twilight war against the United States by helping to land in the White House an agent of chaos, disruption, and authoritarianism who has exacerbated divisions within the United States, undermined American democracy, created conflict within the Western alliance, and diminished Washington’s standing across the globe. It’s a chilling account of Trump’s strange relationship with Putin and how both have gotten away with this assault on the United States. Here’s one of the most important stories of recent decades—with tremendous and wide-ranging implications for the future of the United States and the world. How Russia Won is indispensable for fully understanding what has happened to America in the Age of Trump.

From the acclaimed Pacific War historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist, the harrowing story of America’s bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the dramatic struggle to end World War II. At 9:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, an American bomber pierced the skies over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The single bomb it dropped unleashed an atomic hurricane that toppled homes, vaporized birds in flight, and carbonized humans. Three days later, a second bomb flattened the port city of Nagasaki. In the span of a mere 75 hours, the United States—a nation once morally opposed to the bombing of civilians—killed 120,000 men, women, and children, dooming tens of thousands more to agonizing death in the weeks and months ahead. Empire of Ashes explores the final brutal months of the war in the Pacific, featuring the voices of never-before-heard victims of the atomic bombs. Through interviews with survivors and accounts gleaned from Japanese sources, New York Times best-selling author James M. Scott combines the attacks’ heart-wrenching details with their causes and consequences, from debates within the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, Oakridge, and Hanford to the fallout that would alter decades of life in Japan. Scott also delves into the political maneuvering in Washington and Tokyo between two seemingly unlikely leaders—President Harry S. Truman and Emperor Hirohito—that led to unprecedented violence and, eventually, surrender. Scott grapples with questions that still haunt the detonation of the atomic bomb to this day: What justified the first and only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict? And how does a nation reconcile the pride of liberating millions, with its own unprecedented violence? With startling immediacy, Empire of Ashes illuminates the moral dilemma at the center of America’s decision to inflict total war upon Japan.

A groundbreaking book from the “Stress Reset Expert" reveals that contrary to popular belief, cortisol isn’t the enemy—it’s an essential hormone your body depends on to function, heal, and thrive, and the key to reclaiming your health is restoring your natural supply. For fans of Good Energy and Age Like a Girl. Our relationship to cortisol, the stress hormone, is often misconstrued. We believe cortisol is bad—something we want to lower and keep at bay. But here’s the truth: the migraines, bloating, mood swings, weight gain, and joint pain may not stem from too much cortisol at all. More often, they arise when your body’s cortisol levels are depleted. When you learn how your system really interacts with this vital hormone, you create the conditions for your body to repair, rebalance, and reset. In The Cortisol Cure, Dr. Erin Kinney introduces her powerful and accessible framework: the “Cortisol Bank Account.” Think of cortisol as the “currency” your body uses to generate energy, handle stress, heal, and perform at its best. When you rest, you earn cortisol. When stress demands your attention—physical, emotional or environmental —you spend it. And just like with any budget, when you consistently spend more than you earn, you slip into hormonal debt. This debt sends your body into survival mode and can manifest as a wide range of symptoms that feel mysterious or disconnected. This book maps the journey Dr. Kinney has used to help over 7,000 patients and clients heal their body, health, and life. You will: Understand what you want for your body—you’ll learn how to balance your relationship with cortisol in each area of your life. Read real patient stories that illustrate the science in clear, relatable, and empowering ways. Learn habits that you can put into practice—and that will stick for the long term. The Cortisol Cure is a wake-up call and action plan for anyone who doesn’t feel well and isn’t sure why, but needs to feel better. If you're human and you want to be well—this book is for you.

We’re living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from? All the Wrong Moves offers a new, eye-opening answer, rooted in history, business, and the author’s firsthand experience, that reveals the true origins of America’s current political crisis. In All the Wrong Moves, Anthony Scaramucci charts how both political parties, over three decades, made a series of catastrophic decisions that quietly dismantled the system supporting the American dream. First came Bill Clinton’s trade deal with China, which opened U.S. markets while abandoning American workers. Next, George W. Bush’s choice to wage war while cutting taxes, exploding the deficit. Finally, Barack Obama’s bank bailout, which saved Wall Street but left millions of ordinary families behind. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump’s rise and his ongoing assault on democracy and the rule of law. From the trading floors of Wall Street to the corridors of Washington, Scaramucci has witnessed how money, ambition, and hubris reshaped American politics. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he brings a rare insider’s perspective to how both parties lost touch with the people they once represented. But All the Wrong Moves isn’t just about how we got here—it’s about how we get out. Scaramucci lays out practical solutions, including economic policies to rebuild opportunity for the working class and constitutional reforms to protect our democracy. It’s a sharp, surprising critique that cuts through partisanship and challenges readers on the left, right, and center to reclaim what the American dream was always meant to be.

With a provocative follow up to his New York Times bestselling The Echo Machine, David Pakman offers a dire warning on the cultural and technological forces that are already melting our brains and transforming the pursuit of truth into an almost impossible, even quaint activity. Has the dystopian future of 1984 and Brave New World arrived? As Pakman forewarns in Pay Attention, we confront a very Orwellian threat of totalitarianism, as technological “advancements” have rendered us not just passive but willing participants in a Huxleyesque world where our humanity becomes swallowed by the Attention Economy. Drawing on his experience fighting in the digital trenches, Pakman illustrates how and why political news and commentary has become more fragmented, extreme, and divisive in a self-fulfilling, self-feeding media environment. His reports from the front line of the media and culture wars are beyond eye-opening, including: How he rose to prominence by methodical trial and error in an ever-changing media landscape How a requirement for controversy means we are already losing the battle for truth How audience capture is rewiring our brains The dark science behind thumbnails Why the Right is built for the Attention Economy The myth of media “independence” How the user has become the product…and why we no longer even need human creators to mine this product. The future is already here—and with AI creep, it’s only accelerating! Sure to speak to his millions of avidly engaged viewers, as well as to readers of such titles as Chris Hayes’ The Sirens’ Call, Jenny Odell’s How To Do Nothing, and Ezra Klein’s Why We’re Polarized, Pay Attention is a perfectly timed book that will show us how “the machine” works…and what we must do lest we become part of it.

Transform hobbies to habits in this guide to pursuing the things you never thought you had time for, right now. “With a blend of memoir, motivation, and actionable strategy, Ravi Gupta shares how a high-achieving life left him burned-out, unfulfilled, and disconnected—and how he reignited his spirit by dedicating himself to learning a single skill each year.”—Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit We all have an “invisible list” of things that we say we’ll do when we finally have the time: learn guitar, take up tennis, write a book, plant a butterfly garden. But life—jobs, families, the obligations of being a person—always gets in the way. The Invisible List is a blueprint for making those goals real. And the first step? Giving yourself permission. From educator and civic entrepreneur Ravi Gupta comes a bold, inspiring approach to resurrecting your passions, no matter how limited your time or money. After realizing that he had stopped doing anything for the sheer love of it, Gupta shifted course and decided to dedicate a full year to becoming competent in one of his long-deferred hobbies. No quitting allowed. It soon became a yearly pursuit that has included taking on screenwriting, surfing, and powerlifting—and has led him to find new friends and a new focus and to discover that he is never too old to learn new things. Drawing on his successes as well as setbacks, Gupta shares how to create and fulfill your own invisible list, introducing concepts like • THE LAUNCHPAD: a building-block skill that gets you in shape for more challenging years • THE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME: an easy-to-access, affordable, and practical pursuit • THE MENTAL MARATHON: a mind-sharpening hobby that grows your memory • THE BIG ONE: something that takes a lot of time and resources—not impossible but requires planning • THE GIVEBACK: an undertaking that builds community, empathy, and relationships Part memoir, part guidebook, part manifesto, The Invisible List illustrates how to create a life worth living.

A touchstone for the millions navigating loss: With 2.5 million deaths annually in the United States leaving an average of five grieving people behind, this book serves as vital connection and community for those seeking to understand how others have walked this path and found meaning in their pain Raw insights from a powerful platform: Drawing from conversations with grief experts, celebrities, and everyday survivors featured on the DEAD Talks Podcast, and offering access to diverse perspectives on healing, spirituality, and resilience gathered from a community of over one million followers Honest exploration of life's biggest mysteries: Tackles questions about what happens after death, the role of spirituality in healing, and how our beliefs about the afterlife influence how we live, without pushing any single worldview or religious perspective Permission to grieve authentically: Challenges societal expectations about ”proper” grieving while giving readers permission to feel everything – including joy, humor, and hope – even while carrying profound loss Practical wisdom disguised as memoir: Combines personal storytelling with actionable insights about living fully, finding purpose after loss, and discovering the unexpected gifts that can emerge from life's most painful experiences This book speaks directly to anyone navigating grief or supporting someone through loss, including the millions of Americans who lose someone each year.

From internationally acclaimed historian Timothy W. Ryback, the chilling chronicle of how Adolf Hitler overturned a constitutional democracy in less than eight weeks On September 25, 1930, Adolf Hitler appeared before Germany's Supreme Court and outlined his plans to destroy the Weimar Republic through democratic means. The judge asked, "So, only through constitutional means?" Hitler replied, "Jawohl!" Barely two years later, on January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed the fifteenth chancellor of the Weimar Republic. Within 53 days of that date, he had effected one of the most astonishing transformations in modern democracy, using the provisions of the Constitution to turn a democratic republic into an authoritarian state. Drawing from his 800-page political playbook, Mein Kampf, Hitler banned or neutered the print press and radio; purged the civil service and installed party loyalists; suspended civil liberties; compromised the courts; imposed Reich government control over the country's seventeen federated states; slapped draconian tariffs on trading partners; co-opted, imprisoned, or drove political opponents into exile; assumed control over the central bank; and then compelled the Reichstag, the country's legislative body, to pass an Enabling Act grantingHitler dictatorial power. Charting the key events of those dramatic days in taut and compelling prose, Timothy W. Ryback evokes the raw political power and increasing inevitability of Hitler's state capture, amid heroic efforts by journalists and social democrats to save the republic, underscoring Joseph Goebbels' alarming observation: "The big joke on democracy is that it provides its mortal enemies with the means to its own destruction."

The untold story of the Allies' secret weapon in occupied France. Peter J. Ortiz's path to becoming the most battle-decorated member of America's first spy agency--and one of the most decorated Marines of World War II--was unlike any other. Born in New York and raised between California and France, he would have stints as a merchant seaman, dude ranch manager, race car driver, lion tamer, circus performer, and Hollywood stuntman and actor. As a teenager, Ortiz ran away from boarding school in France to join the French Foreign Legion. He first experienced combat in North Africa against tribesmen in the Sahara. Fighting on the front lines against the Germans in 1940, he was badly wounded and captured. He repeatedly escaped, one time fleeing a hospital train after assuming the identity of a dead soldier. Docking in the US the day after Pearl Harbor, Ortiz enlisted in the Marine Corps. As someone who could speak French like a native--and get by in Arabic, German, and Spanish--the dashing former Legionnaire immediately stood out. Instead of being deployed to the Pacific like the majority of Marines, Ortiz was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)--America's World War II forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency--for special operations in North Africa and Europe. In 1944, Ortiz parachuted into France on two top-secret inter-Allied missions. Operating deep behind enemy lines, he traveled throughout Southeastern France--at times donning his Marine uniform--arming and training the Maquis, blowing up Nazi infrastructure, and aiding downed Allied airmen. Rotating his many covers--including as a fashion designer and minor Vichy government official--he infiltrated Nazi gatherings and funneled intelligence about German positions back to OSS London ahead of D-Day. By the time he escaped across the Pyrenees, he was among the Gestapo's most wanted. Two months after the Normandy landings, Ortiz jumped back into the French Alps, this time with a team of Americans he recruited for "Le Grand Parachutage," a drop that sent more than 150 tons of supplies raining down to the Maquis to fight the Axis. When his six-man patrol was surrounded by more than one hundred Germans at the village of Centron, Ortiz faced a choice: fight the enemy or save the village from Nazi annihilation. A rare Marine in the European Theater, he received two Navy Crosses. Ortiz's story--an untold corner of World War II history--is one of extraordinary courage, resistance, and self-sacrifice.

"Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn't either, until after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country that most media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA. What began as curiosity became--one story at a time--an intimate, revealing portrait of America today. From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals' homes, Your Fellow Americans captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn't a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: people who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we're more alike than we are different."--

One dog's love. One man's journey. When Matthew Sigman's beloved dog, Augie, died, his world fell apart. His boyfriend broke up with him. His work dried up. Even the ceiling of his West Village apartment collapsed. Heartbroken and adrift, Matthew did the only thing he could--he ran. An impulsive escape to Europe didn't lead to the cafés of Paris or the islands of Greece. Instead, thanks to a fluke in an Airbnb map, he landed in Quarna, a remote Italian mountain village seemingly hidden from tourists--and from time itself. There, amid winding cobblestone streets and alpine silence, Matthew stumbled into an unlikely friendship and madcap adventures with an exuberant innkeeper, Valerio, and discovered the warmth of a community that welcomed him as one of their own. In Because of a Dog, Matthew traces a journey from profound grief to unexpected renewal, from isolation to connection. With wit, poignancy, and hard-won insight, this memoir is a reminder that sometimes, when all seems lost, it takes a village to mend a broken heart.

A brutally and hilariously unfiltered look at being middle-aged-plus in an absurd modern world by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Excuse Me While I Disappear. Laurie Notaro can time travel. The portal is Scottsdale, Arizona. Once inside her elderly parents' home, she's a child again--who's two years away from collecting Social Security. Caught between generations, Laurie is young enough to be thrust into the role of caregiver yet old enough to be grappling with her own creaking bones and analog life skills. It's an awkward age. Navigating it is just a matter of winging it. She runs rampant through Italy with her American driving skills. Infuriating office politics leave her little choice but revenge and some hexes. Laurie also confronts a high school bully at a reunion, considers an elaborate funeral at a puppet theater, and fancies an ideal retirement plan involving bank robbery. As for sex at sixty, honestly, it's a challenge. The parts are a little rusty (at least they sound that way).

Everlastings is a celebration of the life of flowers, showcasing the ethereal beauty of dried and preserved flowers, those that are just as fascinating dried as they are fresh. Throughout the book Bex Partridge takes you on a journey, starting with practical advice on how to grow dried flowers, with in-depth descriptions of the many methods available for drying and preserving blooms, seed heads and foliage, before sharing her favorite ways to style with dried flowers in the home. Everlastings is so much more than a 'how-to' book, with knowledge shared on the ecological benefits of dried flowers, a chapter on foraging which goes to great lengths to show that this kind of flower arranging can be accessible to us all, as well as an inspiring chapter on the meditative benefits of working with dried flowers. The main section of the book features a number of projects to try at home, all accompanied with beautiful photography.

Everlastings encourages the reader to embrace the ebb and flow of the seasons, with seeds sown in spring, producing flowers in the summer to be dried and arranged in the house as a stunning winter display. Filled with the stunning imagery that Bex has become known for, Everlastings presents a modern take on an age old pastime.

An intimate, story-driven cookbook that explores the idea of cooking and eating as an act of self-care, with 65 time-tested and nourishing recipes from the James Beard Award–winning author of Where Cooking Begins and New York Times bestseller, That Sounds So Good Carla has been writing about food, family, and feelings for many years, and she’s always known that her recipes were about more than sustenance. The 65 recipes and 30 essays in Food Is a Feeling are a powerful reminder of the nurturing, fulfilling, and joyful role that food plays in all of our lives, a very human account of beauty and challenges balancing each other like butter and salt. For her, cooking is an expression of love. That core belief was put to the test the year she got divorced. As Carla started figuring out who she was going to be on the other side of a 24-year marriage, she took note of the cravings she was having and the meals she wanted to make, and honored those desires by making herself something to eat: Lemony Chickpea Stew with Rice; Personal Pot of Beans and Greens; Salad Sandwich, to name a few. She was flooded with delicious memories—her mom’s Saturday Night Alfredo, the Extremely Floofy Vanilla Pancakes she makes for her children, and the Crispy-Skinned Fish with Olives and Lemons and Burnt Caramel Rhubarb Compote she learned on the line in some of New York City’s most demanding restaurant kitchens. Over time, she realizes the creative, transformative work that happens in the kitchen is a potent antidote for the hurdles she has yet to overcome. The food, the passage of time, and the lessons gained—all of it became perfectly intertwined. In writing that is revealing, relatable, and funny, Carla uses rich context from her own life to make the case that food is so much more than just fuel, and yes, we should eat our feelings. After all, they’re delicious.

The spectacular rise and dramatic fall of super-assassin Carlos the Jackal—one of history’s most infamous terrorist masterminds and the inspiration for numerous celebrated works of pop culture—told with new revelations from the Jackal himself, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Black Flags. A black-bereted, gun-slinging avatar of one of the most turbulent eras in global politics, Carlos the Jackal burst onto the world stage in 1975 as the first true celebrity terrorist and the TV-ready face of a violent Palestinian resistance movement that was then just beginning to gain traction. In a bloody career that would ultimately span three decades, Carlos innovated a new kind of spectacular terrorism, one that embraced hijackings, hostage crises, airport bombings, and international assassinations. And he personally masterminded one of the era’s most shocking crimes: the kidnapping for ransom of an entire conference of world oil ministers in Vienna. The polar opposite of most modern terrorists, Carlos prized large paychecks over ideology and styled himself as a swashbuckling lady’s man who, despite his charm, murdered his victims with callous disregard, often with his own hand. Today, even from behind bars, Carlos can see his influence continue to reverberate. Through newly declassified archives, secret police files, long-repressed eyewitness accounts, and a rare interview with the Jackal himself, acclaimed journalist Joby Warrick reveals Carlos’ far-reaching legacy as a pioneer of borderless terrorist attacks designed for television. During his twenty years on the run, the terrorist-for-hire would become a secret weapon used by autocrats to covertly attack their foes. In the process he helped transform how modern societies deal with a new kind of threat: a singular criminal mind that approaches terror with a professional’s devotion to craft.

In a trenchant work of nonfiction, the #1 New York Times bestselling author identifies a series of self-inflicted wounds on our body politic that have led to the current moment, and shows us how we can undo the harm From regrettable court decisions to wrong-headed policy initiatives and underhanded political maneuvers, the bestselling author makes the case that our descent into authoritarianism was not inevitable. In Tripwires, Richard North Patterson, whose works of fiction have sold over 25 million copies and whose novel on presidential politics, Protect and Defend, was a #1 New York Times bestseller, points to fifteen key moments in the past quarter-century when the country mis-stepped in a way that could have been avoided but instead took us closer to the brink. Starting with the Supreme Court's intervention in the presidential election that brought George W. Bush to power, Patterson traces a constellation of often under-appreciated turning points that runs through the accidental accession of John Roberts as Chief Justice and the moment of crisis when the subprime mortgages came due, to Donald Trump's demand to see Barack Obama's birth certificate, Marco Rubio's sabotage of his own immigration reform bill, and Mitch McConnell's refusal to convict Trump for his attempted coup, culminating in the Roberts Court establishing presidential autocracy. Patterson's near-encyclopedic knowledge of recent U.S. history along with his political acumen and training as a trial lawyer allow him to show cause and effect in a truly synthetic way, building his case for our march to the dark side one wrong turn at a time. His final chapters show the way out of our current morass, offering hope for America's future.

“A huge majority of Americans love our country and want a healthier, happier civic life. Governor Spencer Cox’s Off Ramp is the guide we need to get us there.” —Arthur C. Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Meaning of Your Life “A levelheaded recipe for getting away from the death spiral of partisanship that threatens to extinguish the supremely American virtues of compromise, resilience, problem-solving, and empathy. . . . A road map for restoration and repair.” —Ken Burns, two-time Academy Award nominee and Emmy and Peabody Award–winning producer and director of The Civil War and The American Revolution Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s practical guide to depolarization teaches us how to disagree better at the dinner table, on social media, and in American politics In September 2025, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Governor Spencer Cox stood at a podium and addressed a fractured and grieving nation. He urged Americans to find a way to stop hating one another, or—at the very least, he said—to stop shooting each other. His words were balm to a nation desperate for an off ramp from rising political violence. But a single speech cannot transform a country. It takes all of us working together. It takes a blueprint for healing, depolarization, and peacemaking. Off Ramp is that blueprint. In this practical and patriotic guide, Governor Cox pulls from his experience at the highest levels of civic leadership and cutting-edge depolarization research to encourage Americans to disagree better and restore the respect that we once had even for our political rivals. As America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it’s time to remember what makes America strong, and leave behind the behaviors and rhetoric that threaten to destroy us.

An epic, emotionally charged novel about love, art, and survival spanning 1900s colonial India to Blitz-era London by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids. In the shadow of the London Blitz, artist Elsie Turner clings fiercely to her canvases, refusing to let war dim the colors that define her. The bombs test her nerve, but the struggle also stirs memories of her golden youth in India and of the long-lost love of her life. The daughter of a British civil servant in the Himalayan station of Nainital, Elsie crosses cultural divides to forge an unlikely bond with Tanveer Singh, a Sikh prince with hopes, dreams, and far-reaching ideas. What begins as shared sketchbooks and stargazing becomes first love and a secret correspondence. When Elsie's father is summoned to England, Elsie is severed from the world she knows--and is determined to preserve it through both her art and a connection with Tanveer that endures through the most tumultuous years of their lives. Across four decades and two continents, Elsie navigates a journey from lush colonial India to war-torn London, amid landscapes of beauty, protest, and peril. As past and present collide, the most impossible choices and sacrifices are yet to be made in the name of love, war, and survival.

Beloved actress and New York Times best-selling author Valerie Bertinelli returns with a heartfelt look at turning sixty, the futility of finding happiness in numbers on a scale, learning to love herself the way she is today, and tips for a healthier outlook on life. Valerie Bertinelli shares an inspiring blueprint that offers women in midlife support and hope. She shares personal stories that many women will relate to from her past decade: hitting her fifties, taking care of her dying mother, the evolving relationship with her husband, a career change, her relationship with food, and the battle to believe in herself as she is. Despite her success receiving Emmys for her Food Network show and critical praise for her books and cookbook, Bertinelli still judged herself harshly if she gained a pound or showed too many wrinkles. But after her mother died, she found an old recipe box with notes of the strong women that came before her, reminding her that she has to find out who she is and take care of herself. Saying, "enough already!" Bertinelli set out on a journey to love herself and see that perfection is not the goal; it's the joy we can find every day in our lives, our loved ones, and the food we share. Recipes and advice will be sprinkled throughout the book.

Born into the glittering world of New York high society, Mary Pyle seemed destined for a life of comfort, culture, and worldly influence. Instead, she followed a call to a remote mountain town in Southern Italy and would thereafter be bound to one of the greatest saints of the modern age, Padre Pio. And now, Mary's own cause for canonization is in its opening stages. At the dawn of the twentieth century, as waves of European immigrants were arriving on New York City's shores, old American dynasties such as the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Carnegies mingled with newly wealthy families of the Gilded Age, including the McAlpins and the Pyles. It was into this world of privilege, Protestantism, and social expectation that Adelia McAlpin Pyle, later known as Mary, was born. Yet it was through the humble witness of her Irish Catholic nanny that she would encounter, as a child, the unmistakable presence of Christ -- encounters that marked her soul forever. As her sense deepened that the Presence she felt at Mass was real, her family tried to suppress it. But her conviction only grew stronger. As a young woman, Mary traveled widely through Europe as an interpreter for Maria Montessori, moving with ease through intellectual and cultural circles. But truth demanded everything of her. At twenty-eight, she entered the Catholic Church -- losing her inheritance and her mother's affection yet embracing the sacrifice with serenity and courage. Then came the whispers of a friar bearing the wounds of Christ. When Mary finally met Padre Pio in 1923, his simple words -- "Remain here" -- ignited a fire that would define the rest of her life. Though she tried to leave, she found herself unable to do so, drawn as she was into a hidden mission she could not yet fully grasp. What followed was a life of extraordinary charity lived in profound humility. At Padre Pio's side, Mary became a bridge between souls and a saint, founding a "house of charity" that served as a refuge for the sick, the suffering, soldiers, the poor, and the forgotten. With her gift for languages, her keen intellect, and her listening heart, she formed countless souls in the Faith -- many of them young men who would become priests -- and offered healing to those burdened by wounds seen and unseen. Mary Pyle's life was not loud or dramatic but filled with love. Ordinary in appearance, heroic in self-gift, hers was a holiness shaped by obedience, Eucharistic devotion, and total trust. Today, as her cause for canonization gets underway, her story invites us to listen more closely to God's quiet call -- and to discover where love, when followed fully, might lead us.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER The true story of two African-American brothers who were kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother endured a 28-year struggle to get them back. The year was 1899 and the place a sweltering tobacco farm in the Jim Crow South town of Truevine, Virginia. George and Willie Muse were two little boys born to a sharecropper family. One day a white man offered them a piece of candy, setting off events that would take them around the world and change their lives forever. Captured into the circus, the Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a pre-broadcast era. But the very root of their success was in the color of their skin and in the outrageous caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals, sheep-headed freaks, even "Ambassadors from Mars." Back home, their mother never accepted that they were "gone" and spent 28 years trying to get them back. Through hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Beth Macy expertly explores a central and difficult question: Where were the brothers better off? On the world stage as stars or in poverty at home? TRUEVINE is a compelling narrative rich in historical detail and rife with implications to race relations today.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by The New York Times “Daylight Come takes us to places no biography in recent memory has . . . This book fills the heart and mind, and is essential reading for our times.” —Hilton Als A vibrant, revealing portrait of the "King of Calypso," whose extraordinary performing career and activism helped remake America through the civil rights era and beyond Even three years after his death, Harry Belafonte is everywhere. You can’t go to a wedding, or to a sports arena, without hearing “Day-O,” “Jump in the Line,” or “Jamaica Farewell.” The Harlem-born son of Caribbean immigrants, Belafonte turned the folk music of the islands into American pop—and shaped the fantasy of Caribbean life that endures as an ideal and as a multibillion-dollar tourist industry. Belafonte released the first million-selling LP in history. He was America’s first Black movie star, the first Black person to produce a prime-time special on network TV, and the first to win an Emmy Award. He was once the highest-paid Black performer of all time, beloved by Black and white fans alike, even under segregation. His artistic career helped create the pop culture of the twentieth century—and his political activism reshaped the course of American history. In this sparkling new biography, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro brings Belafonte’s personality and music vibrantly to life, following him from rags to riches and from Harlem to Jamaica to the March on Washington. Jelly-Schapiro takes us inside Belafonte’s lifelong brotherhood with Sidney Poitier, his friendship with Fidel Castro, his collaboration with Nelson Mandela, and the sometimes shocking therapeutic relationships his difficult upbringing necessitated. At the heart of the story is Belafonte’s bond with Martin Luther King Jr., whose cause Belafonte would champion for the rest of his life.

A National Jewish Book Awards Finalist WINNER, ZIBBY AWARDS FOR BEST FAMILY DRAMA & BEST STORY OF OVERCOMING Weaving mystery, history and memoir, Irena’s Gift is the captivating account of one woman’s personal quest to uncover the unspoken and give voice to her family’s secret war-torn history. From the glittering concert halls of interbellum Warsaw to the vermin-infested prison where an SS officer is convinced to save a Jewish child’s life, to the author’s upbringing in a Christian home, this is a story of resilience, sacrifice, Jewish identity, intergenerational trauma, and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves and those we love. For readers of When Time Stopped by Ariana Neumann, I Want You to Know We’re Still Here by Esther Safran Foer, and House of Glass by Hadley Freeman. "Irena’s Gift interrogates the messy complexity of family, both its tenderness and nurture but also its corrosive anger and rejection.” —GERALDINE BROOKS, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner “I'm here to find an SS officer,” I told the muscled man in uniform peering at me through the sentry window at the Berlin Archives. “The man saved my mother,” I added in German, smiling at the guard almost apologetically. In 1942, in German-occupied Poland, a Jewish baby girl was smuggled out of the Warsaw ghetto in a backpack. That baby, Joasia, knew nothing about this extraordinary event until she was 32, when a letter arrived from a stranger. She also learned that the parents who raised her were actually her aunt and uncle. Joasia kept this knowledge hidden from her own daughter, Karen—until an innocent question unexpectedly revealed the truth. Determined to understand the generational trauma that cloaked her family in silence, her own origins, and to help heal her mother’s pain, Karen set out to unearth decades of secrets. Piecing together a hidden history—from the glittering days of pre-war Poland to the little-known Radom Prison, where of 500 resistance members tortured, only 10 survived, her grandfather the only known Jewish one—Karen finds answers, yet not easy ones. As she exposes her family’s saga of love and betrayal, and the astounding negotiation with an SS officer who saved her mother’s life, Karen must reconcile the complicated truths behind human behavior. Irena’s Gift weaves together a mystery, history, and memoir to tell a story of sacrifice, impossible choices, impossible odds, and the way trauma reverberates throughout generations. Yet it is also a story of resilience and bravery, revealing how love and hope, too, can not only prevail through the worst imaginable circumstances, but resonate through time.

In this witty, absurd, and surprisingly moving memoir-in-essays, comedian Alison Leiby unpacks the multitudes women are told to be—and the joy of refusing to pick just one. “Alison Leiby is the Jewish millennial David Sedaris. Reading this book was like having a glass of wine with your funniest, smartest, and coolest friend.”—Bess Kalb, author of Nobody Will Tell You This But Me Have you ever frozen when someone asks, “So, tell me about yourself?” If so, take a page from I'm a Lot. Alison Leiby proudly embraces the identities we’re often encouraged to hide: Housewives stan. Discount shopaholic. Former jock. Happily single. Childless by choice and proud cat mom. Through these different roles and identities, Leiby reveals her hard-earned wisdom about what it’s like to be a woman who does it all (except for the things that make her say “uh, no thank you”). When she was nineteen years old, a complication from back surgery left Leiby on her deathbed. After a surprising recovery, you might assume Leiby was ready to seize life by the you-know-whats. But instead of letting this one miraculous experience define her, Leiby’s brush with death made her realize there is nothing more beautiful in this life than just getting to be yourself. And while women are still expected to conform to many patriarchal labels, Leiby ignores the pressure to be palatable and instead champions all the joyful, weird, and complicated selves she brings to the world. In fourteen personal essays full of deadpan jokes, tender moments of candid introspection, and insightful social commentary, Leiby encourages us to ditch the manufactured Instagram persona and embrace the fact that sometimes the puzzle pieces don’t always fit to create a perfect picture, but that doesn’t mean we are incomplete.

In this inspiring memoir, a Black woman pilot leading the way for others shares her journey of fulfilling a lifelong dream to fly—and how she rediscovered her passion in the face of tragedy and adversity. Captain Nia Gilliam woke up on September 11 ready to soar. Having dreamt of the skies since she was a child, Gilliam grew up believing nothing was out of reach. But what starts as a beautiful day to fly turns into a harrowing experience. While waiting to be cleared for takeoff, Gilliam sees smoke pouring from the North Tower of the World Trade Center. From the co-pilot’s seat, she witnesses United Airlines Flight 175 crash into the South Tower. As the Twin Towers burn, Gilliam summons up the resolve to fly. But as soon as she lands, Gilliam and her dedication to the skies are forever shaken. Cleared for Takeoff recounts the unforgettable day Gilliam escapes from the chaos of what she witnessed alongside a coming-of-age story of a young woman whose dreams were nurtured. Through it all, Gilliam honors Black aviators such as Bessie Coleman, Janet Harmon Bragg, and the Tuskegee Airmen, who paved the way for her and other pilots. These heroes instilled the confidence in Gilliam to secure a seat where few Black women had a place set for them. Yet as her career reaches new heights, navigating the aftermath of a national tragedy changes air travel forever. And when Gilliam receives shocking personal news, she must reconcile who she is beyond the dream she’s worked so hard for. From her first flight to that fateful day, Captain Nia Gilliam’s journey demonstrates how sacrifice, determination, and love helped her find her way back into the pilot’s seat. Cleared for Takeoff is Gilliam’s triumphant story of courage, the redemptive power of turning tragedy into purpose, and one woman’s unwavering faith in herself.

The story of how one misunderstood disease became the global blueprint for stigma and ostracization Outcast: A History of Leprosy, Humanity and the Modern World reveals leprosy as the world’s foundational stigma, underlying the colonialism, exclusion, and exploitation that has shaped contemporary life. After hearing leprosy being used as an anti-immigration dog whistle, Oliver Basciano began a journey into the past, uncovering how this ancient disease has been weaponized, used to justify forced exile and social ostracism around the world. Traveling from the last leprosarium in Europe to remote villages in Mozambique, from Siberian settlements to Brazil’s hinterlands, Basciano builds a history that centers the voices of patients and those forced into the colony system. Along the way, he finds communities formed in exile, patient activism, and the persistent human capacity for joy. In this pulsating, compassionate book, the trope of medieval suffering is transformed into a bitingly relevant study of hope and solidarity.

In the vein of Writing My Wrongs, a memoir from a young man sentenced to life in prison, who gave such a moving speech during his trial that the judge left his position and fought to free him, shining a light on the prison industrial complex and showing how potential remains locked behind bars. Were our world more just, Chris Young would probably have a doctorate or be the CEO of a tech company instead of having spent eleven years in prison. The Wound Is Where the Light Enters takes readers through the impossible circumstances of Chris's childhood and young adulthood in poverty and addiction-ridden Clarksville, Tennessee--circumstances that made prison, or death, look all but inevitable. At the age of 22, he was arrested on drug charges, and because of draconian sentencing laws, given a life sentence. Once imprisoned, however, he fought against the nihilism all around him and the trauma of his past, and doggedly pursued an intellectual life: He studied philosophy, art, archaeology, anthropology, history, economics, astrophysics, cosmology, quantum physics, biology, philology, and politics, learned to play the stock market, and taught himself how to code without a computer. As shown in this stunning memoir, Chris's mind is an indictment of how much potential remains locked up behind bars, at a time when we are reexamining our prison system like never before. More than an issue-driven book, however, The Wound Is Where the Light Enters is an homage to books themselves, and an exploration of what it means to be self-educated in the purest sense.

Eva Benefield, the daughter of the victim of the viral “Black Swan Murder,” describes coming of age amid grief, violence, and a true-crime spectacle, in a poignant memoir "relatable to anyone who’s experienced grief or witnessed evil up close. Eva tells her story with grace and even humor in these pages” (Shari Franke, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The House of My Mother). Eva was still in high school when her mother died suddenly of a heart attack. Within a year, her father marries Ashley Byers, a twenty-four-year-old former bikini model he has only known for a few weeks. “She looked sharp,” Eva says of her strange new stepmother, “like if you touched her you might bleed.” After a few months, Ashley convinces her new husband to open an international ballet company in Charleston, South Carolina. But soon the money runs out and Ashley shoots and kills Eva’s father. The crime was dubbed in the news media as “The Black Swan Murder.” Eva, now orphaned and in college, is suddenly “awash in tabloid gore” and must figure out how to make rent and survive. Reeling from the sudden loss of both her parents and the looming criminal trial of her stepmother, Eva begins to navigate the confusing world of adulthood all alone. “You don’t have a choice about a lot of stuff, especially when you’re a girl,” Eva says. “The things that changed my life were not my choices. They were other people’s decisions, people who really should have known better.” From losing friends who can’t understand the nature of her new reality, to processing her grief and anger as she slowly pulls herself together and begins to chart a new path forward, Eva confronts the triumphs and challenges of a truly incredible situation head on in this unforgettable memoir.

Glory, Grief, and the Gavel takes readers deep into the high-stakes world of Capitol Hill, pulling back the curtain on what it takes to lead one of the most complex and unruly institutions in America: the U.S. House of Representatives. While presidential elections hinge on tens of millions of votes, the speakership—the third-highest office in the land and second in line to the presidency—can be decided by just 218. Written by former top congressional advisor John Leganski, this vivid personal memoir chronicles a decade-long battle for the gavel that ultimately erupted in the dramatic January 2023 floor fight to elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Over the course of five extraordinary days and fifteen ballots, the contest became the first multi-ballot vote for Speaker in a century, the longest such struggle since the Civil War, and a defining moment in modern House history. Filled with never-before-reported scenes from a showdown that captivated the nation and the world, this rare front-row account doubles as a Rosetta Stone for understanding today’s Republican Party and the unforgiving realities of Washington politics. Along the way, Leganski offers hard-won lessons in leadership, the art of vote counting, and the human cost of wielding power in the People’s House. If you’ve ever wondered how Speakers are chosen, why congressional leadership elections turn into political warfare, or what really happens in the rooms the cameras never see, Glory, Grief, and the Gavel delivers an unflinching and unforgettable answer.
