  In The Torture of Love, the second volume of The Revisionist series, Michael A. Delitala guides readers through a deeply emotional journey of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Rather than focusing on the individuals from his past, the narrative explores the recurring patterns that define these relationships. Each person represents a different emotional cycle that keeps him tethered to familiar habits—until he learns to break free. This memoir isn't just about romance; it's about the growth that comes from recognizing and breaking emotional patterns to find one's authentic self. 
  Michael A. Delitala begins with reflections on a strict upbringing, which limited his ability to express individuality. This foundation sets the stage for the romantic struggles that follow—where passion, insecurity, and emotional distance become familiar themes. The women in his life are presented as symbols of repeated patterns, not named as individuals, emphasizing the idea that we often fall into familiar cycles in love until we learn to change. By reflecting on these relationships, The Revisionist discovers how breaking these patterns leads to personal growth and deeper self-understanding.

  The 2024 general election produced the worst defeat in the Conservative Party's history. Five years after winning a commanding majority, the Tories lost half their vote and two thirds of their seats in parliament.
  In Losing It Michael Ashcroft examines the seismic result and its causes. Drawing on extensive polling and analysis – as well as conversations with voters across the country, who describe in their own words how the Tories squandered not just the election but their reputation for competent government – this is a pitiless account of how the Conservative Party came to be seen by those who elected it to office.
  Before the Tories can begin any kind of recovery, they need to understand and accept what happened and why. This book sets out the reasons in uncompromising terms.

  All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

  A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
  Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
  Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
  But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.

  A biography and history of the Native American chief, his people, and their forced exodus at the hands of the US government.“Nerburn deftly records a dark chapter of forced diaspora and forgotten promises—as engrossing as a novel.” —People“A remarkable job of research in telling the thus far untold story of Chief Joseph—the mythical hero, the real man. It is a poignant, touching tale.” —Howard Zinn, author of The People’s History of the United StatesHidden in the shadow cast by the great western expeditions of Lewis and Clark and the westward-moving pioneers lies another journey every bit as poignant and essential to understanding of who we are as a nation. Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce is a grand saga of a pivotal time in our nation’s history. Its pages are alive with the presence of Lewis and Clark, General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Armstrong Custer, and Sitting Bull. Its events brush against the California Gold Rush, the American Civil War, the great western pioneer migration, and the building of the telegraph and the transcontinental railroad. But at its center lies a group of men, women, and children fleeing for their lives across the vast American West, and a man Buffalo Bill Cody called the “greatest Indian America ever produced.”“Nowhere has [this story] been portrayed with more sensitivity and understanding than in Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce. Kent Nerburn . . . writes from the Indians’ perspective with insight and reverence.” —Columbus Dispatch“Crisp, energetic account . . . reads like fictionalized history in the tradition of Mari Sandoz’s Crazy Horse.” —The Oregonian“A must read for every instructor of American history who want to present balance to the vast misrepresentations and distortions of American Indian history.” —Grand Rapids Press“Nerburn has written about a man of humility and grandeur, whose patient anguish and devotion to his people should be part of our national mythos. This is storytelling with a greatness of heart.” —Louise Erdrich, author of The Painted Drum
