  A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate
  		 
  In The Trauma Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on trauma survivors and the impact of trauma on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat.
  		 
  Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.

  Two hostages. One cartel. Zero margin for error. When diplomacy fails, the Covert Ops team doesn’t. 
   
  A Caribbean paradise. A deadly cartel. A rescue mission that was never meant to succeed. 
   
  When two young travellers vanish in the Caribbean, ex-military operator Steve Barker and his team are called in for an off-the-books mission: extract the hostages, eliminate the cartel, and leave no trace. 
   
  But the intel stinks. The contact’s hiding something, the money’s too clean, and every street in San Juan hums with danger. What begins as a textbook rescue spirals into a nightmare of betrayal, ambushes, and firefights stretching from the Old Fort Castillo San Cristóbal to the jungles of Saint Ann. 
   
  Cut off from command and surrounded by enemies, the Covert Ops team must rely on instincts, brotherhood, and raw fury to bring their people home—or die trying. 
   
  Expect: 
  • Gritty realism and black humour straight from the veteran’s battlefield mindset 
  • Caribbean gunfights, urban chases, and a high-risk extraction deep in cartel territory 
  • Authentic military banter and tactics forged in combat 
  • PTSD, loyalty, and redemption colliding in the heat of the mission 
   
  Perfect for fans of: Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Lee Child, and Mark Greaney—readers who crave covert ops with bite, not polish. 
   
  The mission: rescue the innocent, punish the guilty, and survive the extraction. 
  Grab Covert Ops: The Extraction and lock in for the most explosive mission yet.

  Lessons from Past Heroes - How...

  What can be learned from black South Africans who achieved success before South Africa became a democracy in 1994? What are the challenges they faced, and how did they overcome them? And, today, how have South Africans benefited from the country's democratic system of governance?
  These are the questions Phumlani M. Majozi explores and attempts to answer in Lessons from Past Heroes.
  He traces black people's success and political activity back to the early 1900s; successful men and women who spearheaded the struggle against the segregationist, colonialist government and devoted their lives to advancing the interests of their communities. Phumlani explores the careers, challenges, and successes of people such as Pixley ka Isaka Seme, John Langalibalele Dube, Sol Plaatje and Josiah Tshangana Gumede.
  During the apartheid years, South Africa produced black men and women who overcame the odds to succeed in their fields of business, entertainment, science, and politics. They excelled in the face of an oppressive government system, and their stories should inspire every South African today.
  After exploring the history of South Africa, Phumlani delves into the present and the future; evaluating the challenges South Africans face and proposes solutions that can speed up their economic progress.
  He argues that much of South Africa's history has portrayed the majority as victims of the minority, and that the inspirational stories of those people who overcame adversity are not being told widely enough.
  These stories must be told to inspire future generations.
  If black South Africans could succeed in the pre-1994 era, what can stop them today? The answer is nothing, Phumlani writes.
  Phumlani M. Majozi is a business and macroeconomics analyst, writer and commentator on economic, political and global issues. He is a Senior Fellow at African Liberty and sits on the boards of four organisations: Chartered Institute of Business Accountants (CIBA), South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Social Research Foundation (SRF) and Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).
