Sinopse

A life can change in a second. ‘The Innocent and the Beautiful’ is a deeply moving true story of love and tragedy, of injustice and the courage to endure. In 1981 Alan Atkinson took his perfect family on holiday to Florida. As night fell in the Everglades another driver, drink in hand, reversed directly in front of the family’s rental car… and in an instant Alan lost his beautiful wife and three wonderful children. Beginning in the early 1960s, ‘The Innocent and the Beautiful’ tells of Alan and Adrienne’s romance, of their family, and of how after their deaths Alan struggled with the American legal system to find justice, ultimately rebuilding his life, and finding love again, but never quite peace.

    Rowing upon the Tigris River to enjoy a summer campfire on the tiny islands that emerged every summer, teenaged Joseph Samuels never could have imagined that these waters would soon become his only hope for freedom. At the age of 19, he was forced to leave his family behind as he smuggled out of Iraq in the secret hold of a Basra riverboat to escape the violent and repressive anti-Semitism that, over the next few years, would spell the end of the two-millennium-old Iraqi Jewish community."Beyond the Rivers of Babylon" follows Joe's remarkable journey, from his colorful childhood in the Old Jewish Quarter of Bagdad, to his life-altering service in the Israeli Navy, to starting a family and building a real estate empyrean Montreal and Los Angeles.Blessed with a remarkable vivid memory and a keen ability to look inward, Joe paints a sensory landscape of a home that is no more, and in the process imparts the lessons of a life lived to its fullest.Joe Samuels' memoir is a joyous recollection from a man who turned misfortune into tremendous success. One third of Bagdad consisted of Jewish citizenry... what became of them is captured in this one story of a man who refused to be beaten...- Glenn M. Benest, screenwriter and author of INK

    A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
     
    “I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
     
    That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
     
    “What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

    A key figure in French Africa, Robert Bourgi, for the first time ever in a book, discusses his life, his relationship with his mentor Jacques Foccart and all the "missions" he undertook over almost forty years, on behalf of African and French presidents, including the leading lights of the Right (Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, Charles Pasqua, Jacques Toubon, Dominique de Villepin, Claude Guéant, François Fillon etc.). He reveals the financing networks of French political parties, based on his personal notes that he kept for 40 years. He also describes the sensitive cases in which he was involved—the liberation of French journalists from Lebanon in the 1980s; rehabilitation of Mobutu Sese Seko; the liberation of the French hostage, Clothilde Reiss, in Iran; the rescue of Laurent Gbagbo; the resignation of Jean-Marie Bockel; the appointment of French ambassadors to Africa; his lobbying of the Élysée Palace on behalf of African heads of state. From Félix Houphouët-Boigny and Laurent Gbagbo (Ivory Coast) to Mobutu Sese Seko (DR Congo), via Blaise Compaoré (Burkina Faso), Mathieu Kérékou (Benin), Abdoulaye Wade and Macky Sall (Senegal), Mohamed ould Abdel Aziz (Mauritania) and Gnassingbé Eyadéma (Togo), Pascal Lissouba, Denis Sassou Nguesso (Congo), and above all Omar and Ali Bongo (Gabon), this book throws light on the psychology of numerous presidents, south of the Sahara, and their regimes, giving the reader a fresh look at France's African policy over several decades.
