Summary

Prosecutors Power explores the complex world of legal enforcement, focusing on the individuals who confront corruption, corporate crime, and politically sensitive investigations. It offers a rare glimpse into the motivations and strategies employed by prosecutors, highlighting the personal sacrifices they make in their pursuit of justice. The book argues that effective legal enforcement hinges not only on strong laws but also on the integrity and resilience of the prosecutors themselves. Examining the careers of specific individuals, Prosecutors Power reveals how these qualities translate into tangible results, fostering accountability and deterring misconduct.

The book traces the evolution of prosecutorial power and presents important context by exploring the rise of global financial networks and the increasing complexity of corporate structures. These factors have made prosecuting white-collar crime particularly challenging. By drawing on court documents, investigative reports, and personal interviews, Prosecutors Power connects to political science, sociology, and economics, providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges prosecutors face.

Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book begins by introducing core concepts and then moves into major points, exploring how prosecutors tackle white-collar crime, public corruption, and cases with international implications. Ultimately, the book examines the implications of these cases for legal reform, offering practical recommendations for strengthening prosecutorial independence and effectiveness.

The Twitnam Summer

Hester Grant

'A rollicking, brilliant book' GARETH RUSSELL, author of Queen James 
'A very fine piece of biographical work, erudite but accessible' JOHN STUBBS, author of Jonathan Swift  
A rollicking narrative history set during the extraordinary summer of 1726 when Jonathan Swift arrived in London from Dublin, with a draft of Gulliver’s Travels in his bag. 
Jonathan Swift settled into his great friend Alexander Pope’s new house on the river at Twickenham (or Twitnam as they liked to call it), and joined by John Gay, the trio of Scriblerus Club writers spent a delightful and creative summer, pushing each other to new satirical heights (The Dunciad and The Beggar’s Opera also ensued), exploring the gardens and houses of their aristocratic friends and thinking up ways to torment Robert Walpole’s corrupt Whig administration without going to jail. 
An unlikely threesome in many ways – Swift was 20 years older, and Gay was as large and indolent as Pope was tiny and restless – “the three Yahoos of Twittenham” were unmarried and took great emotional and intellectual succour from their friendship. 
The three of them added up to more than the sum of their considerable parts and, as well as being a brilliant evocation of the radical rage, the joy and stench of early eighteenth century life, The Twitnam Summer is also a very moving portrait of male friendship. 
Set in 18th century Britain, this literary non-fiction brings history to life through vivid social detail and the larger-than-life English and Irish figures at its heart. Part biography and criticism, it offers a modern lens on a European moment when art and politics collided.

Black Hearts and Painted Guns -...

Kelly Eads, Daniel S. Morgan

“Will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped forward to do it.” —On Point: The Journal of Army HistoryKelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/eleven, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment.Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles.During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells.With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.
