  "Life is Fighting is a must-read for any fan of the wrestling business." — Kofi Kingston, WWE Grand Slam Champion, 16-time Tag Team Champion
  		 
  His physique and unbridled intensity are enough to inspire fear. Factor in a unique combination of precision and abject ruthlessness, and it becomes clear that anyone stepping into the ring with him is in immediate danger. A master of catch wrestling and jiu jitsu, Kross has done battle around the world. He boasts an array of devastating suplexes. And if that's not enough, he's more than happy to put opponents to sleep . . . But despite his menacing exterior, the human being behind the character—Kevin Kesar—is soft-spoken and highly thoughtful. Recognized by his peers for his exceptional love for his profession, Kesar endured numerous setbacks on the way to achieving his dream. Along with his wife, Elizabeth—known in WWE as Scarlett—he has repeatedly found the fortitude to bounce back stronger. In Life is Fighting he shares the real story.

  The Forgotten Soldier

  Bestselling author Charlie Connelly returns with a First World War memoir of his great uncle, Edward Connelly, who was an ordinary boy sent to fight in a war the likes of which the world had never seen. 
  But this is not just his story; it is the story of all the young forgotten soldiers who fought and bravely died for their country 
  The Forgotten Soldier tells the story of Private Edward Connelly, aged 19, killed in the First World War a week before the Armistice and immediately forgotten, even, it seems, by his own family. 
  Edward died on exactly the same day, and as part of the same military offensive, as Wilfred Owen. They died only a few miles apart and yet there cannot be a bigger contrast between their legacies. Edward had been born into poverty in west London on the eve of the twentieth century, had a job washing railway carriages, was conscripted into the army at the age of eighteen and sent to the Western Front from where he would never return. 
  He lies buried miles from home in a small military cemetery on the outskirts of an obscure town close to the French border in western Belgium. No-one has ever visited him. 
  Like thousands of other young boys, Edward’s life and death were forgotten. 
  By delving into and uncovering letters, poems and war diaries to reconstruct his great uncle’s brief life and needless death; Charlie fills in the blanks of Edward’s life with the experiences of similar young men giving a voice to the voiceless. Edward Connelly’s tragic story comes to represent all the young men who went off to the Great War and never came home. 
  This is a book about the unsung heroes, the ordinary men who did their duty with utmost courage, and who deserve to be remembered. 
  In this deeply personal and historical account, Connelly brings to life the autobiography of a forgotten hero, painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities of war. The memoirs of Edward Connelly, an ordinary boy turned soldier, serve as a poignant reminder of the countless brave souls who were lost in the Great War, their stories untold and their sacrifices unacknowledged. 
  For fans of Toby Carr (Moderate Becoming Good Later), Raynor Winn (Landlines), Michael Palin (Travelling to Work), and Matthew Green (The Wizard Of The Nile).
