    A powerful memoir about a dad navigating loss, fighting cancer, surviving, and thriving alongside the most important person in his life—his daughter. 
      
    Paul Weigel’s life always felt hard. Throughout his isolated childhood, with distant and detached parents, losing his college sweetheart in a horrible tragedy, and enduring the unexpected death of his father, Weigel spent his life in despair. It all just hurt. 
      
    Everything changed when his daughter was born. 
      
    From day one, Weigel and his daughter shared an incredible bond. She was a constant source of peace and inspiration to him, and he was determined to give her the love and security he’d never had. His life and the family that he’d dreamed about seemed to be finally getting on track—that is, until a devastating cancer diagnosis threatened that future. 
      
    But this time around, Weigel chose hope. If you believe in the impossible, he told himself, the incredible can come true. Using this mantra, Weigel pushed forward, determined to show his daughter true strength and power. Facing the ups and downs of his illness and treatment with courage, he trained for and completed an Ironman triathlon within six months of finishing chemotherapy, and he continued to be a dedicated father. 
      
    In Iron Dad, Weigel celebrates the unique bond between fathers and daughters and shares an inspiring story of finding and clinging to the joy in life, no matter the odds.

    The untold story of the most contested fixture in world football 
    ‘A must read.’ Henry Winter 
    'Superb.' Daniel Taylor 
    Liverpool and Manchester. Two gloriously independent-minded, eclectic, culturally vibrant places. Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football. 
    The dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not a barometer of disdain, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul or Moscow. In northwest England, it is the engine of animosity. 
    How did it come to this? Why did things turn so nasty? And what does it say about the two cities in which the clubs are based? 
    Written by a Scouser and a Manc in a rare collaboration, Red on Red addresses the divide by talking to those involved in ten seminal football matches. It speaks to the characters who patrolled and provoked the rivalry: Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville, among many others. Also questioned are the fans, the administrators, the referees, the police, and politicians. And through each legendary game, its authors tell the full story of the most extraordinary division not just in football, but in modern Britain. 
    This is Red on Red, a rivalry like no other. 
    Phil McNulty's Red on Red is a top pick for anyone interested in the sociology of sports, particularly the history of 20th century soccer. The book explores the best and worst moments of the rivalry, providing a comprehensive understanding of its impact on the cities of Liverpool and Manchester. 
    For fans of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Adrenaline), Jonathan Wilson (The Barcelona Legacy), Gary Neville (The People's Game), Rhys Richards (Blood on the Crossbar), and Shareef Abdallah (The King Takes Over).
