Sussman Jeffrey: Mafia Hits, Misses,
Wars, and Prosecutions

Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars, and Prosecutions

The Rise and Decline of the Mob in America

Examining Cold War encounters between Hungary and the US during the 1960s-80s, this book explores how academic and cultural mid-level mediators brokered official and informal ties between these separate geopolitical 'worlds' and identifies how their interactions shaped the cultural and scholarly environment of both countries. Cold War Brokers follows the transnational adventures of writers, academics and teachers as they crossed the Iron Curtain literally and figuratively, facilitating the circulation of knowledge between the global centre and periphery. From Hungarian writers who toured the US with the International Writing Program, to music teachers who transferred the acclaimed Kodály-method to the US, and experts on Uralic and Altaic languages who introduced a separate branch of area studies to the US national security paradigm, these transnational mediators ushered in processes of inter-reliant modernization in cultural policy, education and science in both countries. Arguing that their collaboration could not merely undermine ideological dichotomies, but rewrite the history of the Cold War period and the imbalances of centre-periphery relations, László shows how non-state actors were able to use the opportunities presented by the Cold War for professional development and network building to achieve agency in Cold War encounters.

The Woman Who Disappeared and Other Untold Stories

Saltwater Mansions

From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing - a stunning story of corruption and tragedy in one of the world's great cities: London. 'One of those authors I will always read, no matter what the subject matter . . . a masterclass in compelling narrative non-fiction' - The Guardian on Empire of Pain In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, mysteriously fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. When his grieving parents began their desperate quest to understand how their son had died, they made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. In his inimitably gripping and forensic prose, Baillie Gifford Prize winner and New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought Zac to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's world of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld. London Falling is at once a devastating family tragedy, a riveting story of greed, power and deception, and an indictment of the culture that has transformed London into a haven for the malignant forces that have come to influence us all.

Bloomsbury Revelations

As relevant as it was at the time of publication, this landmark work remains timely and urgent in demonstrating how to examine questions of race, politics and crime in contemporary society. A formative text in cultural studies and criminology, it shows the relevance of conjunctural analysis to the current emergence of forms of authoritarian populist politics. Examining the crisis of the British state in the 1970s, the book explores how interacting economic, social and political conflicts and crises were displaced onto the problem of crime. Now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, this re-issue of the 35th Anniversary Edition includes a personal note from the authors about their co-author, the late Stuart Hall, and a brand new foreword by Michael Denning.

THE STORY OF FOOTBALL'S MOST NOTORIOUS COACH - HELENIO HERRERA - AND THE PART THIS MASTER OF THE DARK ARTS PLAYED IN THE GAME'S FIRST, MYSTERIOUS 'WHITE DEATH'. 'HH - what a character. A deeply disturbed, malevolent, brilliant man... A superb book. I absolutely loved it.' - Paul Howard, record five-time Irish Book Award winner AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW Nicknamed 'Il Mago' (the Wizard) after bringing European Cup glory to Internazionale in successive years, Helenio Herrera was hailed as one of the finest minds in football. This explosive book explores the enigma of an incredibly charismatic figure: a philanderer, charlatan, trash-talker and serial winner mired in controversy, whose stellar career was halted by the death of one of his star players and his subsequent trial for manslaughter. 'HH', as he was also known, revolutionised football coaching. He prepared his teams meticulously, was obsessed with his players' mental toughness and introduced idiosyncratic psychological techniques. He made his name as a coach in Spain in the 1950s, winning La Liga twice with both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, but it was his move to Inter in 1960 that propelled him to stardom. Shelving the attacking football that had won him plaudits in Spain, at Inter Herrera perfected the catenaccio system, an ultra-defensive strategy that strangled Italian football in the 1960s. His team, which included libero Armando Picchi, Italian icon Giacinto Facchetti, the great midfielder Luis Suárez and international forward Sandro Mazzola, won three Scudettos in the mid-1960s and were only denied a third European Cup by Jock Stein's Celtic in 1967. Comprehensively researched, HH reveals how Herrera surrounded himself with sinister men, including Dezsö Solti, a former kapo for Dr Josef Mengele in Auschwitz, and was the original master of the game's dark arts. The psychological warfare he waged against other teams has seen him portrayed as the 'original José Mourinho' and he was distrusted by his peers, such as Santiago Bernabéu, and Bill Shankly, whose Liverpool side controversially lost to Inter in the 1965 European Cup semi-final. Herrera also exerted enormous mental and physical pressure on his own players. In Spain he introduced a regime of performance-enhancing drugs, and he continued this practice in Italy, which eventually led to his downfall. Having joined Roma in 1968, his role in the untimely death of their young striker, Giuliano Taccola, brought scrutiny of his methods. Taccola's 'white death', or heart failure associated with alleged doping, led to Herrera being charged with manslaughter and his coaching career never recovered. Featuring interviews with those who knew Herrera well, including Fabio Capello, Sandro Mazzola, Ian St. John and Denis Law, HH is a fascinating story of deceit and intrigue, bloodshed, sex and glorious football, set against the backdrop of the Franco dictatorship in 1950s Spain and 1960s Italy's la dolce vita era.
