  In Fallen Tigers: The Fate of America's Missing Airmen in China during World War II, historian Daniel Jackson sheds light on the stories of downed aviators who attempted to evade capture by the Japanese in their bid to return to Allied territory. He reveals that the heroism of these airmen was equaled, and often exceeded, by the Chinese soldiers and civilians who risked their lives to return them safely to American hands. His comprehensive research even shows that helping downed American airmen transcended the deep political divisions of wartime China, with Nationalists, Communists, and even alleged collaborators realizing the commonality of their struggle against the Japanese. Drawing extensively on sources and interviews, Jackson sketches an epic historical drama documenting the astonishing extent of Sino-American cooperation. 
   
   
   
  Fallen Tigers is an incredible story of survival amid a brutal war, insightfully illustrating the relationship between missing American airmen and their Chinese allies who were willing to save their lives at any cost. Based on archival research and filled with compelling personal narratives from memoirs, wartime diaries, and interviews with veterans and war survivors, Fallen Tigers will appeal to history buffs and scholars interested in WWII, US military aviation, and international relations between the United States and China.

  “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
   
  You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
   
  In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
   
  “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
   
  “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review

  Threats - Intimidating Someone...

  Cito Harder

  Threats are an inherent part of human interaction and can manifest in various forms. At their core, threats are attempts to instill fear or assert power by creating the perception of potential harm, whether physical, emotional, or psychological. The nature of threats is complex because they exist on a spectrum, ranging from subtle and covert forms of intimidation to overt and aggressive expressions of force. Understanding the nature of threats is essential, as it allows individuals and communities to recognize and respond to them effectively. 
  A threat can be defined as any statement, action, or behavior that creates a sense of fear or danger in another person. It involves the intention to coerce, control, or manipulate someone by presenting the possibility of harm. Threats do not necessarily have to be acted upon for them to have a significant impact; the mere perception of harm can be enough to evoke a response. For instance, the threat of violence—whether verbal, physical, or implied—can lead to significant emotional distress, anxiety, and a shift in one’s behavior, even in the absence of any actual harm being done. This highlights the psychological aspect of threats: the fear and tension they generate are often more powerful than the harm that might actually occur. 
  Threats can be both explicit and implicit. Explicit threats are direct and clear in their intent, such as saying “If you do this, I will hurt you” or “You will pay for this.” These types of threats leave little room for misinterpretation and often provoke an immediate response. Implicit threats, on the other hand, are more subtle and may not directly articulate the intended harm. They may involve hints, body language, or situations that suggest harm without overtly stating it. An example of an implicit threat might be a comment like, “You wouldn’t want something bad to happen, would you?” which leaves the recipient uncertain but still fearful of what may follow.
