  “Will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped forward to do it.” —On Point: The Journal of Army HistoryKelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/eleven, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment.Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles.During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells.With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.

  Ten Ways to Find Love and How to...

  A guide to romance in the digital world.  
   
  Everyone is looking for love … but the search for love in the twenty-first century is fraught with obstacles (not least among them pandemics), uncertainties (does romantic love really exist, and if it does, are we worthy of it?) and contradictions (the popularity of dating apps versus our cynicism about them).  
   
  Although modern society and media have sold us the fairytale of that one big, romantic love – chemistry, sparks, passion – the majority of people don’t think a big love can be discovered on dating apps. Which is a shame, since so many of us find ourselves on them! Sure, you can find a hook-up, but that person needs to be announced by some sort of special, face-to-face, meet-cute experience.  
   
  Complicating the issue is our consumer culture’s fixation on the disposable and the new. When it comes to finding love, many of us become stuck in a cycle of looking for the next, even better relationship. Ironically, while we’re on this quest for romantic novelty, we may also be craving long-term partnerships, feeling like failures if we don’t achieve them. But then again … the stuff that makes up these long-term partnerships doesn’t look like fun – it looks more like work.  
   
  How can we reconcile these conflicting desires?  
   
  A media commentator, podcaster and academic, with a PhD in dating apps and intimacy, Dr Lisa Portolan has conducted hundreds of interviews and surveys over many years on the question of what love looks like in the digital age. Here she draws on her findings to present strategies to help you navigate the complexities of real-world relationships in order to achieve – and maintain – a successful, committed partnership. Case studies are woven throughout, authentic voices representing all aspects of the seeking, finding and keeping of love.  
   
  And what is the most profound lesson to be drawn from this incisive, compassionate, often humorous handbook? Ultimately, the pursuit of love is not just about finding a soulmate – it’s about becoming a better version of ourselves in the process.

  What drives a person to kill again and again? 
  In Psychology of Evil: Profiles of Serial Killers, psychologist and criminal-profiling specialist Florence McLean takes readers deep into the darkest corners of the human mind to examine how serial killers are formed, how they operate, and how they are ultimately hunted. 
  Drawing on decades of professional experience, advanced training in criminal profiling, and meticulous analysis of real cases from across the world, McLean reconstructs some of the most disturbing crimes in modern history. From infamous murder sprees to lesser-known cases, she shows how crime scenes, victimology, and offender behavior reveal patterns that are invisible to the untrained eye. 
  This is not sensational true crime. With clinical precision and moral clarity, McLean dismantles popular myths about profiling and exposes the complex psychological, social, and developmental factors behind serial violence. Most importantly, she argues that understanding is not about excusing evil—but about recognizing warning signs and exploring the possibility of prevention. 
  Gripping, unsettling, and profoundly insightful, this book is essential reading for anyone fascinated by criminal psychology, true crime, or the fragile boundary between humanity and monstrosity.
