  Was it one of the war’s most memorable feats of valor or an act of desperation, even madness?
   
  In Out of the Sky, Matti Friedman unravels one of the strangest episodes of World War II: In 1944, a team of young women and men who had escaped the Holocaust made the inconceivable choice to parachute back into Nazi-occupied Europe under the cover of a British military operation. Yet by the end of the mission, not a single Nazi was harmed and not a single Jew was saved, and many of the parachutists died in the process. Even so, some of their names would become legendary, especially that of twenty-three-year-old Hannah Senesh, the author of the beloved Hebrew song “Eli, Eli.” Their story would become one of the young state of Israel’s founding myths—but what exactly was the mission, and what had the parachutists actually accomplished? What made them heroes?
   
  Using thousands of original documents from once-secret files, manuscripts, memoirs, and unpublished letters, Matti Friedman follows four of the parachutists from the spring of 1944 to the operation’s dramatic end that winter. In Out of the Sky, he tells the gripping and surprising tale of a forgotten moment, demonstrating how storytelling itself can have a power even greater than warfare. And in exploring the line between myth and reality, heroism and futility, he creates
  an argument that has resonance in our own time.

  In this canto we hear the fascinating tale of Gajendra, king of elephants in the celestial realm, who was a saintly king in his previous life. Assailed by a mighty crocodile, he recalls his former devotion to Krishna and invokes his presence with heartfelt prayers. Then begins a long account of a conflict between the gods and Asuras, resulting in several divine incarnations, including Mohini, the Lord’s form as an exquisite female, and Vamana, a dwarf brahmin. The Asuras conquer the heavens and seize control of the universe, only for Vamana to trick the Asura king, Bali, into giving everything back to the gods on the plea of begging for just three paces of land. Finally we hear about Matsya, the Lord’s fish incarnation, who comes to the rescue of King Satyavrata during a great deluge that inundated the worlds. Krishna Dharma and Chintamani Dhama Dasi vividly bring these stories to life while bringing out the profound devotional teachings they evince.

  “Just be gentle,” he said softly, cupping Allen’s cheek and tugging his lower lip free before kissing him again. His hand slid from Allen’s cheek to his shoulder, to his chest and the work rough thumb rubbed against a nipple until it peaked. “Don’t need to rush.”Allen’s breath was already coming short. He wondered if he’d even be able to make it very long, let alone until Bill was inside of him. Thunder crashed almost on top of them, startling Allen, as his focus was all on Bill.“Just relax,” murmured Bill, kissing down..."

  Beyond Streetwise: The Untold...

  From the housing projects of Brooklyn to the helm of one of the world’s most powerful financial institutions, this is the gripping story of ambition forged under pressure. 
  Lloyd Blankfein: Beyond Streetwise is a penetrating biography that traces the improbable rise of a young man shaped by grit and sharpened by intellect. Long before his name was etched into headlines, Blankfein was navigating the realities of East New York, learning lessons about risk, awareness, and resilience that no classroom could teach. Harvard refined him. Wall Street tested him. Crisis defined him. 
  At the center of the 2008 global financial collapse, as CEO of Goldman Sachs, Blankfein stood in the crosshairs of public outrage and political scrutiny. Markets trembled. Institutions fell. The world demanded accountability. What emerged was not a caricature of power, but a complex leader balancing survival, responsibility, and the relentless mathematics of global finance. 
  This biography moves beyond headlines to examine the man behind them—his discipline, his strategic mind, his private battles, and the resilience that carried him through one of the most volatile eras in modern economic history. With narrative intensity and meticulous insight, the book explores leadership under fire, the cost of influence, and the thin line between reputation and reality. 
  Compelling, nuanced, and unflinching, this is more than a story about Wall Street. It is a study of endurance, adaptation, and the true measure of power when the noise fades. 
  For readers drawn to high-stakes leadership, institutional drama, and the psychology of ambition, this biography delivers a rare and unforgettable portrait.
