The American Civil War

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line.

Satie's music and ideas are inextricably linked with the City of Light. This book situates Satie's work within the context and sonic environment of contemporary Paris.

Sunday Times Classical Music Book of the Year

Erik Satie's (1866-1925) music appeals to wide audiences and has influenced both experimental artists and pop musicians. Little about Satie was conventional, and he resists classification under easy headings such as "classical music". Instead of pursuing the path of a professional composer, Satie initially earned a living as a café pianist and moved in bohemian circles which prized satire, popular culture and experiment. Small wonder that his music is fundamentally new in conception. It is music which is not always designed to be listened to attentively: music which can be machine-like but is to be played by humans. For Satie, music was part of a wider concept of artistic creation, as evidenced by his collaborations with leading avant-garde artists and in works which cross traditional genre boundaries such as his texted piano pieces. His music was created in some of the most exciting and creatively stimulating environments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century: Montmartre and Montparnasse. Paris was the artistic centre of Europe, and Satie was a notorious figure whose music and ideas are inextricably linked with the City of Light. This book situates Satie's work within the context and sonic environment of contemporary Paris. It shows that the influence of street music, musicians and poets interested in new technology, contemporary innovations and radical politics are all crucial to an understanding of Satie. Music from the ever-popular Gymnopédies to newly discovered works are discussed, and an online supplement features rare pieces recorded especially for the book.

After nearly twenty years of research, Bonnie J. Thompson, the daughter of former Logan County State's Attorney Roger W. Thompson, releases her tell-all trilogy, Buried Truth, a unique true crime saga about one woman's undying perseverance in a lonely battle for truth and justice.

In Part Two: Preponderance of Evidence, Thompson returns to Lincoln to conduct further investigation and unwittingly uncovers, what appears to be, a cover-up. Buried evidence connecting to one of the unsolved murders seems to link to one of the suspected accomplices in the triple homicide, and two former Lincoln detectives choose to conceal information about missing evidence. Thompson approaches her father's two assistants from 1976, and they willingly help in her investigation. She also meets scientist Dr. Lawrence Farwell, the inventor of Brain Fingerprinting, and he becomes involved in
her quest for truth.

In 2003, a retired Illinois State Police lieutenant - who was a former deputy sheriff and first responder at the scene of the triple homicide -agrees to assist Thompson but ultimately becomes unreliable and underhandedly removes critical evidence from the courthouse. Thompson and Farwell make contact with the former defense attorney and the mother of convicted triple murderer Michael Drabing, and Thompson makes arrangements to speak with Drabing at Menard Correctional Center, Illinois' largest maximum-security
prison.

When Thompson returns to her home in Idaho in November of 2003, she learns former Lincoln Detective William Krueger has released a book about his participation in two of the murder investigations. After reading his book, Thompson recognizes Krueger has withheld vital evidence from public knowledge and fabricated information pertaining to evidence. 

Read more of Thompson's unabridged trilogy as her story continues in the concluding Part Three: Plea for Justice.

The Unabridged Trilogy Part Two

Buried Truth

The return of a revered revolutionary and the meaning of independence in a divided nation-in the 1820s and todayIn 1824, the legendary French hero of the American Revolution, Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette, commenced an epic tour of the United States at the invitation of President James Monroe. On this fourteen-month trip across all twenty-four states, Lafayette (1757-1834) witnessed an evolving young nation grappling with its ideals, achievements, and challenges: a contested yet peaceful presidential election, engineering marvels like the Erie Canal, and the persistent tragedy of slavery. Journalist and historian Richard Brookhiser shows us what Lafayette saw on this storied adventure through the fifty-year-old republic-hoopla, oratory, journalism, struggle, failure, and idealism.As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its independence, Brookhiser invites readers to ponder the same critical question posed by Lafayette and his contemporaries: How well has America upheld the promise of its revolution? With vivid storytelling and acute insight, Brookhiser reflects on an era marked by triumph and turbulence-an era with compelling parallels to the present-and offers enduring lessons on liberty and democracy.

Lafayette and the Legacy of Revolution

The Hero Returns

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year The definitive biography of Zhou Enlai, the first premier and preeminent diplomat of the People's Republic of China, who protected his country against the excesses of his boss-Chairman Mao. Zhou Enlai spent twenty-seven years as premier of the People's Republic of China and ten as its foreign minister. He was also its legendary spymaster. Richard Nixon proclaimed him "the greatest statesman of our era." Yet Zhou has always been overshadowed by Chairman Mao. Chen Jian brings Zhou into the light, offering a nuanced portrait of a revolutionary and master diplomat whose vision shaped China and the broader world. Born to a declining mandarin family in 1898, Zhou received a classical education and as a teenager spent time in modernizing Japan. Zhou embraced communist revolution as a vehicle for China's own development, yet Zhou was never a committed Maoist. While he worked closely with the chairman, he used his extraordinary political and bureaucratic skill to mitigate the damage caused by Mao's radicalism and maintain China's international standing. When Zhou died in 1976, the China we know today was not yet visible on the horizon. He never saw a glistening Shanghai skyline or the emergence of Chinese capitalism. But the Chinese influence now felt in every corner of the globe rests on Zhou's work.

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

A New History of the New World

America, América

In 2021, Anthony Seldon, inspired by a fallen First World War soldier who dreamed of a "Via Sacra" to commemorate the war dead and stand as a symbol of the triumph of peace, set out on a 600-mile walk tracing the historic route of the Western Front. He later recounted that journey in the widely acclaimed The Path of Peace.But lasting peace was not to be. Just two decades after the First World War, Europe descended into an even more devastating conflict.In The Path of Light, Seldon embarks on a new 800-mile journey, beginning once again at Kilometre Zero and ending at Auschwitz. Along the way, he uncovers the stories of women and men who courageously protected the vulnerable and stood up to evil in the face of unimaginable brutality during the Second World War.As he reflects on these "figures of light" and the inspiring stories he encounters in the towns and villages along his route, a pattern begins to emerge--one that offers lessons for building a more peaceful and compassionate world.Their example feels more relevant than ever, as the ominous and growing drumbeat of global belligerence forms the backdrop to Seldon's journey between 2023 and 2025. The Path of Light is both a remarkable travel narrative and a powerful meditation on courage, humanity, and hope in troubled times.
