  'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
  'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE
  
  Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.
  
  In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

  The French Resistance - Stories...

  The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. With their lives at risk and a constant threat of betrayal or capture, these brave souls fought in the shadows, working tirelessly to undermine the Nazi war effort, sabotage military operations, and support the Allies. 
    
  At the heart of the Resistance was a spirit of defiance, a refusal to accept the status quo and a deep-seated belief in the values of freedom and liberty. The people who joined the movement were motivated by a sense of duty to their country, but also by a moral obligation to resist the horrors of the Nazi regime. From the rural villages to the bustling streets of Paris, the Resistance spread across France, forging networks of covert cells that communicated through secret codes, hidden messages, and underground newspapers. 
    
  The introduction of the Resistance was not a single event but a gradual process of collective resistance that evolved over time. In the early days, acts of defiance were small and isolated—anonymous leaflets denouncing the occupation, graffiti calling for revolt, and the quiet refusal of French citizens to cooperate with Nazi authorities. These early acts were the spark that would ignite a larger, more organized resistance movement. As the war progressed, Resistance groups grew in strength and sophistication, developing into a network of fighters, spies, and saboteurs working in unison to disrupt the Nazi regime’s operations.

  A compilation of first-person accounts from German soldiers on their experiences at the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II, featuring rare photos. Real battles. Real Soldiers. Real stories.  By the fall of 1942, the battle for Stalingrad had become a fight for every street and building, and nowhere was the struggle more intense than in the bombed-out factories in the northern half of the city. There, amidst crumbled stone and twisted steel, German soldiers fought from room to room against a Soviet enemy who appeared never to tire. Meanwhile, Soviet offenses outside Stalingrad had trapped the German 6th Army inside the city. Erich von Manstein attempted to break through and relieve the encircled army, but to no avail. Both stories—the fierce battle for the factories and Manstein’s relief effort—are told here in the words of the men who were there.

  Most Famous Campaigns of the...

  The Vietnam War could have been called a comedy of errors if the consequences weren’t so deadly and tragic. In 1951, while war was raging in Korea, the United States began signing defense pacts with nations in the Pacific, intending to create alliances that would contain the spread of Communism. As the Korean War was winding down, America joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, pledging to defend several nations in the region from Communist aggression. One of those nations was South Vietnam.  
  Before the Vietnam War, most Americans would have been hard pressed to locate Vietnam on a map. South Vietnamese President Diem’s regime was extremely unpopular, and war broke out between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam around the end of the 1950s. Kennedy’s administration tried to prop up the South Vietnamese with training and assistance, but the South Vietnamese military was feeble. A month before his death, Kennedy signed a presidential directive withdrawing 1,000 American personnel, and shortly after Kennedy’s assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed course, instead opting to expand American assistance to South Vietnam. 
  Over the next few years, the American military commitment to South Vietnam grew dramatically, and the war effort became both deeper and more complex. The strategy included parallel efforts to strengthen the economic and political foundations of the South Vietnamese regime, to root out the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgency in the south, combat the more conventional North Vietnamese Army (NVA) near the Demilitarized Zone between north and south, and bomb military and industrial targets in North Vietnam itself. In public, American military officials and members of the Johnson administration stressed their tactical successes and offered rosy predictions.

  The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
   
   
   
  Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
   
   
   
  With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.
