    Trailblazer is the remarkable and inspiring story of Cheryl Tyler, a Black woman who defied all odds and shattered barriers in her quest to protect the highest office in the land. This memoir transports listeners into Tyler's world as she embarks on a journey to become the first Black female agent assigned to the Presidential Protective Division of the United States Secret Service. 
     
     
     
    Her dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to her duty shine through as she serves as a top agent, safeguarding not only Presidents George H. W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton but also world leaders and celebrities. Those accomplishments earned her well-deserved accolades, but this book uncovers the story of the challenges she faced as a woman of color in a predominantly male all-white profession. Tyler's memoir delves into the heart-wrenching struggles she endured during an eighteen-year class action lawsuit against the USSS. Alongside other Black agents, she fought relentlessly to eradicate racial slurs, workplace discrimination, and unfair employment practices within the Agency. As plaintiffs, they emerged victorious, securing a historic $24 million compensation. 
     
     
     
    Listeners will be captivated by Tyler's resilience and triumph as she shines a light on one woman's fight for equality and her extraordinary journey to make a lasting impact.

    War crimes represent some of the most heinous acts of violence committed during conflict, violating the basic principles of humanity and decency. These crimes, which range from genocide to the targeting of civilians, are not only devastating to the victims but also to the social fabric of entire societies. Over the centuries, the world has witnessed numerous atrocities during wartime, but the formal recognition and prosecution of these crimes have evolved significantly, especially in the last century. 
      
    The need for accountability in the face of war crimes is critical. It is not only about bringing perpetrators to justice but also about establishing a global standard that deters such crimes in the future. The introduction of international laws and institutions aimed at prosecuting war crimes marks a pivotal shift in the international community's approach to warfare. The atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, were a wake-up call for the global community. This led to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials, the first real attempt to hold individuals accountable for war crimes, and set the foundation for modern international law. 
      
    The purpose of this book is to explore the concept of war crimes, the historical development of international law designed to address such crimes, and the ongoing challenges of prosecuting these atrocities. We will examine the evolution of legal frameworks, such as the Geneva Conventions and the establishment of the International Criminal Court, and discuss how these institutions work to hold individuals and states accountable for their actions during wartime.

    "Highly readable" – Irish News
    "A gripping appraisal of Northern Ireland's turbulent first century. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how we have got to where we are today." – Suzanne Breen, Belfast Telegraph
    "A timely and lucid analysis of the Troubles that asks hard questions of successive British governments. The good news for the current government is that it also offers some answers." – Rory Carroll, The Guardian
    ***
    "For God's sake, bring me a large Scotch. What a bloody awful country!" Home Secretary Reginald Maudling, returning from his first visit to Northern Ireland in 1970
    As a long and bloody guerrilla war staggered to a close on the island of Ireland, Britain beat a retreat from all but a small portion of the country – and thus, in 1921, Northern Ireland was born.
    That partition, says Kevin Meagher, has been an unmitigated disaster for Nationalists and Unionists alike. Following the fraught history of British rule in Ireland, a better future was there for the taking but was lost amid political paralysis, while the resulting fifty years of devolution succeeded only in creating a brooding sectarian stalemate that exploded into the Troubles.
    In a stark but reasoned critique, Meagher traces the landmark events in Northern Ireland's century of existence, exploring the missed signals, the turning points, the principled decisions that should have been taken, as well as the raw realpolitik of how Northern Ireland has been governed over the past 100 years.
    Thoughtful and sometimes provocative, What a Bloody Awful Country reflects on how both Loyalists and Republicans might have played their cards differently and, ultimately, how the actions of successive British governments have amounted to a masterclass in failed statecraft.

    "This audiobook is a touching testament to the power of stories, nature, and love to sustain and connect us." - AudioFile on Everything Left to Remember BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS meets WILD. In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are.Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and—perhaps most heartbreaking of all—Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it.Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana—which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting” out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood—and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming.A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
