  The Western Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART THREE takes you on a journey through ambition, betrayal, war, and the struggle for power. From Emperor Yuan’s court to the dynasty’s fall and rebirth under Liu Xiu, this book brings to life the rulers, rebels, and visionaries who shaped one of China’s most fascinating eras. 
  Inside the imperial palace, love and power intertwined. Figures like Zhao Feiyan, a dancer turned empress, and the “Cut-Sleeve Emperor,” whose personal life left a historic mark, rose to prominence. Meanwhile, political schemes brewed. Wang Mang, a seemingly noble reformer, seized the throne, triggering chaos, rebellion, and his own dramatic downfall. 
  Beyond the palace, Han power extended through diplomacy and war. General Chen Tang’s bold campaign proved Han’s far-reaching influence. Meanwhile, Wang Zhaojun, sent to marry a Xiongnu chieftain, sacrificed her status to bring peace beyond the Great Wall. 
  As the empire crumbled, Liu Xiu waited. Patient and strategic, he seized the moment to lead a rebellion that restored the Han Dynasty. His rise marked the climax of this era of transformation. 
  This is more than history—it’s a saga of power, betrayal, sacrifice, and resilience. If you love epic tales of real-life intrigue and legacy, this book will draw you deep into the Western Han's dramatic rise, fall, and rebirth.

  Family Lexicon

  An Italian family, sizable, with its routines and rituals, crazes, pet phrases, and stories, doubtful, comical, indispensable, comes to life in the pages of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon. Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war. The Levis are, among other things, unshakeable anti-fascists. That will complicate their lives. 
   
   
   
  Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. "Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it]," Ginzburg tells us at the start. "The places, events, and people are all real."

  On February 15, 1991, Captain Steve Phillis was leading his wingman, Lieutenant Rob Sweet, on their thirtieth combat mission of Desert Storm flying the A-10 Warthog. They were tasked with attacking Iraq's vaunted Medina Division of the Republican Guards—by far their most dangerous mission of the war. 
   
   
   
  Near the end of their attacks, Rob was forced to eject from his aircraft and began a five-minute parachute ride down to the troops he and Steve had just finished bombing. Steve, an experienced combat search and rescue pilot and distinguished graduate of the Air Force Fighter Weapons School, immediately sprang into action to save the life of his wingman. After spending three minutes and forty-five seconds circling Sweet, Steve's A-10 was hit by an enemy surface-to-air missile. 
   
   
   
  Five Nickels: True Story of the Desert Storm Heroics and Sacrifice of Air Force Captain Steve Phillis is a love story. Steve loved his family, fiancée, fellow fighter pilots, country, wingman, and life. Yet he was willing to risk them all to fight—and if necessary, die—for what he believed in. Steve's story—from Rock Island, Illinois, to the Air Force Academy, to his life as an A-10 fighter pilot—is the stuff of heroes.
