M. C. Armstrong secured his embed as a journalist with the Navy SEALs in 2008. Shortly before he left for Iraq, his father asked him to tell the story no one else seemed to be telling. The story of the people sometimes constructed as our friends, and other times, our enemies: the Iraqis.

One summer evening in 1916 in Blanchester, Ohio, a sixteen-year-old farm boy was riding his horse past the town cemetery. The horse reared back and whinnied, and Eugene Exman saw God. For the rest of his life, he struggled to recreate that moment. Through a treasure of personal letters and papers, God, the Bestseller explores Exman’s personal quest. A journey that would lead him in the late 1920s to the Harper religious books department, which he turned during the Great Depression into a money-making juggernaut and the country’s top religion publisher.

Though Michelle Miller was an award-winning broadcast journalist for CBS News, few people in her life knew the painful secret she carried: her mother had abandoned her at birth. Los Angeles in 1967 was deeply segregated, and her mother—a Chicana hospital administrator who presented as white, had kept her affair with Michelle’s father, Dr. Ross Miller, a married trauma surgeon and Compton’s first Black city councilman—hidden, along with the unplanned pregnancy. Raised largely by her father and her paternal grandmother, Michelle had no knowledge of the woman whose genes she shared. Then, fate intervened when Michelle was twenty-two. As her father lay stricken with cancer, he told her, “Go and find your mother.”

Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values.

Niemand im deutschen Fernsehen ist so verspottet und beschimpft worden wie Markus Lanz. Spätestens nach dem Ende von 'Wetten, dass ..?' schien der Moderator erledigt, 'einer wie er dürfte eigentlich nie eine Talkshow moderieren', schrieb die Frankfurter Rundschau noch 2019. Wenige Jahre später hat Markus Lanz aus seiner Talkshow eine der wichtigsten politischen Bühne des Landes gemacht, ohne ihn wäre Karl Lauterbach wahrscheinlich nie Bundesgesundheitsminister geworden.

Irish author Bram Stoker is considered one of the masters of Gothic horror, in large part due to his creation of one of modern culture’s most enduring villains, Count Dracula. Making a life first in civil service and then in the theater, Stoker drew upon his personal experiences, his deepest fears, and the larger-than-life people in his inner circle to create his timeless masterpiece, cementing his own immortality in the process.

A plumber's son from Western, New York, now in his mid-sixties, this transient soul has experienced a wide swath of poverty, riches, fame, anonymity, hedonism and piety. At the same time 50% monk and 50% monkey, Giuliano is best known as the author of a shelfful of books on the Beatles and other rock icons, a well-known film actor, world traveler, vegetarian activist, and very public devotee of Sri Krishna. Here is his rags-to-riches-then-back-to-rags story as told by himself.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen der Jahres 1932. Seine Berichterstattungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. 1932 ist wie ein langer dunkler Dezember ohne Advent und Weihnachten. Der größte Teil des Textes behandelt die aufgeheizten Debatten um die Politik des Tages (5 große Wahlen in 8 Monaten). Den Terror der Nazis auf den Straßen und die Sabotage der Weimarer Institutionen aus den Hinterzimmern des Parlaments.

En un mundo donde abunda la falta de motivación y la información vacía y exagerada, Keila arroja luz desde su experiencia al narrar siete relatos reales e inspiradores, acerca de cómo ha logrado hazañas que algunos consideran imposibles.

Pendant presque 25 ans, la journaliste Isabelle Richer a suivi les procès les plus marquants et les plus significatifs à titre de correspondante au palais de justice de Montréal. Couvrir ainsi la scène judiciaire, c’est côtoyer le pire de la nature humaine, rappelle-t-elle. C’est plonger au cœur de la violence, la détresse, la folie et la douleur. Être ainsi quotidiennement confronté à tant de drames laisse des traces.

Vivimos un tiempo de profunda crisis de la credibilidad. En el malestar y la inestabilidad de nuestras sociedades late una gran desconfianza hacia las instituciones, los intelectuales, los decisores o los líderes de opinión. La prensa tradicional, sacudida por el intenso cambio tecnológico y la desintermediación en la producción de noticias, sufre también la sospecha del público, no siempre de forma injustificada.

In this book, Alfred Kazin, who for more than thirty years has been one of the central figures of America's intellectual life, takes us into his own life and times. His autobiography encompasses a personal story openly told; an inside look at New York's innermost intellectual circles; strong and intimate revelations of many of the most important writers of the century; and brilliantly astute observations of the literary accomplishments, atmosphere, and fads of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s in the context of America's shifting political gales.

Una biografía intelectual no es la biografía de la vida privada. Es la historia de una formación en la que intervienen muchos factores, muchas presencias y escenarios: escuelas, experiencias, viajes y, sobre todo, lecturas. La vida intelectual sigue la trayectoria de las ideas en el tiempo, de ideas encarnadas en una persona y, fundamentalmente, en el diálogo que ha mantenido con figuras tutelares, maestros, colegas, amigos. Así se hilvana una biografía intelectual: conversando con abuelos, mentores, compañeros de tantas batallas, autores admirados.

Savage Journey is a "supremely crafted" study of Hunter S. Thompson's literary formation and achievement. Focusing on Thompson's influences, development, and unique model of authorship, Savage Journey argues that his literary formation was largely a San Francisco story. During the 1960s, Thompson rode with the Hell's Angels, explored the San Francisco counterculture, and met talented editors who shared his dissatisfaction with mainstream journalism. Author Peter Richardson traces Thompson's transition during this time from New Journalist to cofounder of Gonzo journalism.
