Synopsis

Diplomatic Marriages explores the use of marriage as a strategic tool in political history, focusing on how royal families and powerful elites forged alliances through arranged unions. These marriages were critical components of statecraft, solidifying treaties, averting wars, and securing territories. The book reveals that these unions often transcended political expediency, involving extensive negotiations, cultural exchanges, and personal sacrifices.

 
The book examines the rise of the Habsburg dynasty through strategic unions, the role of marriage in shaping the English monarchy, and the use of diplomatic marriages in consolidating the French empire. Diplomatic marriages weren't merely symbolic gestures but critical components of political strategy. It investigates the impact on gender roles, social hierarchies, and cultural norms and challenges traditional narratives by highlighting the agency of women.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a theoretical foundation, then exploring practical applications in distinct historical contexts. Drawing from royal archives, diplomatic correspondence, and genealogical records, the analysis culminates in an examination of modern-day parallels, revealing how marriage subtly still influences international relations through family connections and cultural diplomacy.

Winner of seven awards, including a National Indie Excellence Award and Best Indie Book Award. 
"Anyone out there struggling to navigate mental illness should read this thoughtful book."—Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of the Kennedy Forum 
“Pat, we need to kill the dog.” A chill ran down Patrick Dylan’s spine as his wife spoke—psychosis had found their family again. 
When a sudden mental illness struck his wife, Patrick Dylan found himself living with an eerie stranger. Scared and unprepared, he began a desperate battle to protect her from a mysterious disease, shelter their children from her bizarre behavior, and recover the woman he loved. 
For years, Patrick and Mia Dylan enjoyed an intimate marriage that exemplified partnership. They worked together to create a loving home for their two children, enjoyed a close relationship with their extended family, and offered mutual support during hard times. But on the morning of Mia’s thirty-ninth birthday, everything changed. 
Within weeks, she had been admitted to the emergency room, the hospital, and the local crisis facility, but none of the experts could provide an answer. As her illness eluded diagnosis, the family’s struggle was only beginning. A brave memoir in the tradition of Brain on Fire, Dylan’s Safe, Wanted, and Loved is a compassionate, honest, and gripping account of a family navigating mental illness.

Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days. 
 
 
 
After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force. 
 
 
 
He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra "one torpedo for one ship" proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation. 
 
 
 
His nickname "Silent Otto" referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.
