  Of the 6,600 paratroopers of the 101st 'Screaming Eagles' Airborne Division who parachuted into France in the early hours of 6 June 1944—D-Day—some 3,500 were listed as missing by midnight that same night. Yet it was only the beginning of their 'rendezvous with destiny.' 
   
   
   
  American Eagles is the remarkable true story of the United States 101st Airborne Division. From their rigorous training in 'Old Jolly' (England) to their first operational jump in Normandy, Charles Whiting tells the story of this 'Band of Brothers', who fought, suffered, and died in the eleven-month campaign that followed. From Normandy and Holland through to the siege of Bastogne and their final triumphant capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in the Bavarian Alps, we gain a picture of a brave elite division which kept on getting the tough assignments. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on eyewitness accounts, painstaking research, and his own youthful experiences when his regiment was under the command of 101st Airborne in Holland, Whiting delivers a powerful account of each of the 101st's major operations during the European campaign of 1944/45. He brings to life the full horrors of war while shining a spotlight on the courage and determination of the 'Screaming Eagles' and their role in the destruction of the Nazi regime in World War Two.

  Justin Brooks has spent his career freeing innocent people from prison. With You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent, he offers up-close accounts of the cases he has fought, embedding them within a larger landscape of innocence claims and robust research on what we know about the causes of wrongful convictions. Putting listeners at the defense table, this book forces us to consider how any of us might be swept up in the system, whether we hired a bad lawyer, bear a slight resemblance to someone else in the world, or are not good with awkward silence. The stories of Brooks's cases and clients paint the picture of a broken justice system, one where innocence is no protection from incarceration or even the death penalty. Simultaneously relatable and disturbing, You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent is essential listening for anyone who wants to better understand how injustice is served by our system.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
  In 'Elon Musk' by Walter Isaacson, the book explores the complex and fascinating life of Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur. From his troubled childhood in South Africa, where he faced both physical and emotional challenges, to his rise as the richest man on earth in 2022, Musk's journey is one of resilience and ambition. 
  Musk's father, an engineer with a charismatic yet rogue personality, left a lasting impact on his psyche. This influence shaped Musk into a tough and vulnerable individual, marked by mood swings, a high tolerance for risk, a penchant for drama, an unwavering sense of purpose, and an intense, sometimes callous, drive. 
  Isaacson, who spent two years closely shadowing Musk, presents an inside story filled with triumphs and turmoil. The book raises thought-provoking questions about whether the demons that have driven Musk are also the driving forces behind innovation and progress. It offers a revealing glimpse into the life of one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of our time.

  First published in 1895, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind remains one of the most influential works on mass psychology and the behavior of crowds. Gustave Le Bon’s groundbreaking analysis explores how individuals, when part of a crowd, surrender their rationality and adopt a collective mindset driven by emotion, impulse, and unconscious influence. 
  Le Bon’s insights have shaped the fields of psychology, sociology, and political science, influencing figures from Freud to modern strategists of propaganda and mass persuasion. He dissects how crowds think, how they are swayed by leaders, and how collective behavior can lead to both progress and destruction.Key Topics Covered: 
  ✔️ How individuals lose autonomy within crowds 
  ✔️ The psychological mechanisms behind mass movements 
  ✔️ The power of suggestion and emotional contagion 
  ✔️ How leaders manipulate crowds to achieve their goals 
  ✔️ The role of crowd psychology in revolutions, politics, and social change 
  A must-listen for those interested in history, social psychology, politics, and the forces that shape public opinion.

  'Highly readable ... Everything we need to know on this subject' Financial Times
  'Fascinating' Geographical Magazine
  'A must read for anyone wanting to understand the forces shaping our world' Eliza Filby
  'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman
  A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself.
  Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.
