  Anna Ardin

  No Heroes, No Monsters focuses on the dramatic struggle of Anna Ardin, the WikiLeaks activist who, in 2010, came forward to report sexual abuse by Julian Assange. This is her testimony to a legal trial that was replaced by an Internet tribunal. A tribunal where women's rights are all too often both neglected and weaponized. A tribunal that every day of the year chooses a new woman to be the most hated. 
  The book goes beyond the headlines - the black and white pictures of heroes or monsters - and emphasizes the need to acknowledge the shades of gray. In the book Ardin navigates through her personal life, the sexual assault charges, the media frenzy and the extensive hatred that followed from accusing a popular man, as well as through the unfair accusations of Chelsea Manning and WikiLeaks.  
  Ardin's story is a call for justice for everyone abused, holding even important people accountable. It's a powerful compilation of the feminist lessons Ardin learned from living, for over a decade, in the shadow of the "hero" myth.

  "A Migrant from the Expelled Generation" 
  What happens to a generation when their dreams of a decent, dignified life in their own home are shattered? Firas El Echi shares his story and theirs, recounting the journey of those who left everything behind in search of hope and opportunity. From his school days in Tunisia to starting over in Cairo, Paris, and London, he captures the excitement of the Arab Spring—a moment when everything seemed possible—only to see those dreams slip away, leaving so many scattered across the world. 
  But this isn’t just a story of loss. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and the determination to make a difference. While building new lives far from home, this generation holds onto one dream: to return, reclaim their homeland, and finish what they started. A powerful story of hope, perseverance, and the universal longing for belonging.

  Fagan of Hoboken & the Horseshoe...

  Declaring that you would rather cut your own throat than meet with the Democratic machine boss to talk out your differences was not the usual way to become Mayor of Hoboken in New Jersey’s Hudson County of the 1890s. But that’s exactly what Lawrence Fagan did, prior to winning the job for the first time in 1893. 
  A Democrat but independent in actions and views, Fagan served four consecutive terms during the city’s period of peak immigration and population growth. Efforts toward reforming a loosely run police force and officiating the fighting forces of temperance and a swelling saloon industry occupied much of his time in office, a tenure also shaped by an apocalyptic harbor and steamship fire in 1900. 
  In addition to being a politician, Fagan was an ironmaster. He ran an ironworks in the rugged Horseshoe section of neighboring Jersey City, where he took a very hands-on approach to business. On one occasion, Fagan determined that a labor union representative had called on his foundry for purposes of extortion. Fagan made his view on this matter clear and responded with his fists. When summoned by a court of law to answer for the assault, Fagan’s testimony was frank and explicit. He freely acknowledged punching the plaintiff. “Had I been excessively angry at the time,” explained Fagan, “the punishment would have been more severe.” 
  Fagan was also an owner of a newspaper, The Observer, which had grown to become New Jersey’s most influential Democratic publication by 1910. The apogee of Fagan’s interest in the newspaper business coincided with the launch of Woodrow Wilson’s career in politics. As Wilson campaigned to be Governor of New Jersey, he encountered a peculiar truth: The road to the governor’s mansion in Trenton went through Hudson County’s “Elysian Fields of politics,” and therefore through Lawrence Fagan.

  From his early days living in small-town poverty, young Dutch Reagan's thoughts were always on the future. Whether helping his family through financial hard times or doggedly pursuing opportunities reserved for the few, Dutch knew that all the knowledge that he had absorbed over the years was waiting inside of him for a chance to come out. Achieving success as an athlete, sports announcer, and actor, Ronald Reagan discovered his greatest role late in life, as the fortieth president of the United States and The Great Communicator, a man with the ability to reach out to the American people and leave a lasting legacy.
