  At the age of fifty Bradley was a career officer who had never seen a day of action on the battlefield. Yet, by the end of the war, he had led American soldiers through some of the bloodiest fighting of World War Two—the final defeat of the Germans' Afrika Korps, the invasion of Sicily, and the historic Normandy invasion, before leading the advance across the Rhine. 
   
   
   
  Despite being such an instrumental leader of World War Two he was a modest man, professing only to do the best he could for his calling and his country. 
   
   
   
  How did this quiet and unassuming teacher from West Point rise to become the commander of the Twelfth United States Army Group, which ultimately comprised forty-three divisions and over one million troops, the largest American force ever united under one man's command? And how did he come to be known as 'the G.I.'s General'? 
   
   
   
  Charles Whiting's enthralling overview of Bradley and his career uncovers what he was like as a person, providing insight into his actions and leadership during the course of World War Two, before discussing his post-war career as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through the course of the Korean War.

  Encounters With Men is a searching memoir as only Bob Ostertag could tell it. In these pages are a lifetime of intimacies and distances, moments with fathers and teachers, friends and lovers, soldiers, cops, and criminals— even one of the great mass murderers of the late twentieth century.
  
  
  Bob Ostertag writes of the men he has known in stories shot through with deep love and deep violence, sex often at the core. Here, we encounter the worst of the AIDS epidemic and the best of human behavior. Fittingly, the final encounter occurs exclusively online, a stark yet compelling portrait of the new sex work in the digital age.
  
  
  Like encounters with bears, except with men.

  Salomea Genin was born in 1932 in Berlin to Polish-Jewish parents and fled the Nazis with her family to Australia in 1939. In 1944 she joined the Eureka Youth (Young Communist) League and in 1949 – the beginning of the Cold War – the Australian Communist Party just as the government was planning to ban it.In 1951, as a delegate to the "3rd World Youth Festival" in East Berlin, she wanted to help build an anti-fascist state in the newly-founded German Democratic Republic (East Germany). In 1963, after a nine-year struggle, they finally allowed her in. Twenty years later, she realized that she was living in a police state, one in which she had willingly participated – and became suicidal. By 1985, psychotherapy and writing a book about her family enabled her to find the strength to go into political opposition and build a new life, even before the Berlin Wall and East Germany itself were dismantled in 1989.

  Beneath the Silence 
  One woman’s journey from pain to purpose—through heartbreak, loss, and healing. 
  For years, she lived beneath the silence—trapped in a world of fear, addiction, and broken promises. A childhood shadowed by chaos gave way to a young adulthood filled with heartache, shattered trust, and desperate struggles to survive. Every day was a battle against the darkness inside and around her. 
  But beneath that silence, something fierce and unbreakable was hope. 
  She becomes a mother, a sister, a wife, and a student—roles she never imagined for herself but embraces with courage. With every scar she carries, she finds strength. With every tear, she finds grace. Beneath the Silence is a powerful story of resilience that will touch the hearts of anyone who has ever felt lost, broken, or silenced—and remind them that healing is possible, one step at a time. 
  This memoir is a raw and honest account of the slow, messy climb from trauma to healing. It is about learning to forgive, learning to love, and learning to believe that a better life is possible—even when it feels out of reach. 
  Trinity Lease is a mother, wife, and college student who has transformed her past pain into a story of hope and healing. She believes that sharing our darkest moments can light the way for others.
