Raised by a single mother in the Florida panhandle, Keith Gross is the definition of an American success story. He worked his way through school, served in the National Guard, and returned home to Florida after earning his law degree.

Keir Starmer: The Biography is an authoritative study of a man who now stands on the brink of becoming Britain's next Prime Minister. If he succeeds, Starmer will be the first Labour leader in a generation to win power, even though most voters still say they don’t know much about him.

"There is no equal justice for Black people today; there never has been. To our everlasting shame, the quality of justice in America has always been and is now directly related to the color of one's skin as well as to the size of one's pocketbook." This quote comes from George W. Crockett Jr.'s essay, "A Black Judge Speaks" (Judicature, 1970). The stories of Black lawyers and judges are rarely told. By sharing Crockett's life of principled courage, "No Equal Justice" breaks this silence.

PRAVIN GORDHAN has been at the centre of many of the political storms that have torn through South Africa’s political landscape. He has been investigated by the Hawks, fired as finance minister, accused of running a ‘rogue unit’ at SARS and come up against the public protector, to name a few. Seasoned journalists Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield take a magnifying glass to someone at the centre of this tumultuous period to try to understand the man behind the public image.

Dr. Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university. By the time she was in medical school, she had a son, Ali, and had become a revolutionary. After her husband was disappeared by the pro-Russian regime, she escaped. With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas—by horseback, by donkey, even on foot—to treat people who had never had medical help before.

È sopravvissuto a due guerre mondiali, sette papi, la monarchia, il fascismo, la Prima Repubblica e la Seconda. E a sei processi per mafia e omicidio. Giulio Andreotti è stato un esemplare unico del potere in Italia per longevità, sopravvivenza agli scandali, dimestichezza con gli apparati dello Stato e del Vaticano, consuetudine con le classi dirigenti mondiali del passato. È stato unico perfino nell'aspetto fisico, che ha nutrito generazioni di vignettisti.

「政党を経営する」というコンセプトを打ち出し、ベンチャー政党から全国政党へ！第二創業期を迎えた日本維新の会が目指す未来とは？

Vladimir Jabotinsky (1880–1940) was a man of huge paradoxes and contradictions and has been the most misunderstood of all Zionist politicians—a first-rate novelist, a celebrated Russian journalist, and the founder of the branch of Zionism now headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. This biography, the first in English in nearly two decades, undertakes to answer central questions about Jabotinsky as a writer, a political thinker, and a leader. Hillel Halkin sets aside the stereotypes to which Jabotinsky has been reduced by his would-be followers and detractors alike.

Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .

Patrick Zaki in questo libro racconta la sua storia: cosa è successo davvero quel giorno e cosa è avvenuto poi, nei giorni successivi: gli interrogatori, l’isolamento, le torture, il confronto con un mondo – quello delle carceri – in cui tutti sono ridotti a una condizione disumana. E cosa lo ha tenuto vivo: gli studi, la passione per il calcio, la musica, l’affetto dei suoi cari, dell’amata Reny, dell’Italia tutta.
