  Soar into the untold story of the heroes who defied gravity and racism. 
  In Wings of Justice, bestselling author Davis Truman delivers a gripping, emotionally charged tribute to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first Black military pilots, who not only fought against the Axis powers during World War II but also challenged the deep-rooted injustice of segregation at home. 
  With vivid storytelling and powerful historical insight, this book follows the Airmen from the segregated airfields of Tuskegee, Alabama, to the skies over war-torn Europe. As they battled enemies abroad and prejudice within the ranks, these brave men rewrote the narrative of American heroism. 
  More than a story of war, this is a story of triumph, of courage, resilience, and the fight for equality. Wings of Justice will leave you inspired, enraged, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of history to shape a more just future. 
  History remembered. Justice reclaimed. Heroes are never forgotten.

  Facing Down the Furies - Suicide...

  An award-winning classicist turns to Greek tragedies for the wisdom to understand the damage caused by suicide and help those who are contemplating suicide themselves 
   
  In Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the Tyrant, a messenger arrives to report that Jocasta, queen of Thebes, has killed herself. To prepare listeners for this terrible news, he announces, “The tragedies that hurt the most are those that sufferers have chosen for themselves.” Edith Hall, whose own life and psyche have been shaped by such loss—her mother’s grandfather, mother, and first cousin all took their own lives—traces the philosophical arguments on suicide, from Plato and Aristotle to David Hume and Albert Camus. 
   
  In this deeply personal story, Hall explores the psychological damage that suicide inflicts across generations, relating it to the ancient Greek idea of a family curse. She draws parallels between characters from Greek tragedy and her own relatives, including her great-grandfather, whose life and death bore similar motivations to Sophocles’ Ajax: both men were overwhelmed by shame and humiliation. 
   
  Hall, haunted by her own periodic suicidal urges, shows how plays by Sophocles and other Greek dramatists helped her work through the loss of her grandmother and namesake Edith and understand her relationship with her own mother. The wisdom and solace found in the ancient tragedies, she argues, can help one choose survival over painful adversity and offer comfort to those who are tragically bereaved. 
   
  Edith Hall is a professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. She is the author of more than thirty books, including Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life. She lives in Cambridgeshire, UK.

  Vision Changing Charity

  Ian Bruce

  The late twentieth century saw charities grow from timid service deliverers into major providers with campaigning teeth. What caused this? How did they gain confidence and strength? In this fascinating history, examined through the eyes of RNIB from 1970 to 2010, Ian Bruce examines the internal drivers and the external socio-political environment that allowed and encouraged this explosion. Bruce’s experience of leading a charity at the forefront of this change, and his participation in the wider charity sector for fifty years as both activist and academic, gives him an unsurpassed understanding of what happened and why. His first-hand knowledge will speak to charity workers as well as academics, covering themes such as the rise of beneficiary power against patronising providers; the change from welfare to rights; the shift from the medical to the social model of disability; and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms such as Strategic Planning and Charity Marketing. Today’s charities have much to learn from the successes and mistakes of this dynamic period.
