Though British Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell called My First Thirty Years "truthful, which is illegal" and Larry McMurtry pronounced it the finest Texas book of its era, Beasley's words have been all but inaccessible for almost a century—until now.

This isn't a book about finding Amelia Earhart. it's about her finding me, and guiding, directing, nudging, cajoling me along the way.

It’s the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic of Iran in its forty-six-year history—not coming from a foreign adversary but from their own freedom-seeking women.

Thomas Cromwell started as a scrappy blacksmith’s son from Putney. Before he became the King’s right-hand man, Cromwell was a soldier, a merchant, and (allegedly) a bit of a dodgy dealer.

Somehow, he ended up masterminding the greatest religious upheaval England had ever seen.
