  Winston Churchill, celebrated as one of history's greatest leaders, shaped the outcome of World War II. Yet, beneath his towering legacy lies a darker narrative seldom explored. This revealing book delves into the suppressed perspective of Churchill's actions from 1942 to 1945. 
  Through meticulous examination, we uncover Churchill's rationality in crisis and expose instances of irrational behavior. While his achievements remain monumental, this research sheds light on the shadows that have obscured his legacy, offering a nuanced understanding of leadership and morality. 
  "The Dark Side of Churchill" is a provocative exploration that invites readers to confront the complexities of history and reevaluate the essence of leadership. In its pages, Winston Churchill emerges not as a flawless hero but as a figure grappling with the darker facets of greatness.

  The Yank - The True Story of a...

  1975: A young Irish-American man joins an elite US Marine unit to get the most intensive military training possible—then joins the Irish Republican Army, during the days of some of the bloodiest fighting ever in the Irish-British conflict. 
   
   
   
  In a powerful, brutally honest recounting of his experience, John Crawley details, first, the grueling challenges of his Marine Corps training, then how he put his hard-earned skills to use back in Ireland in service of the Provos. It is a story that will see him running guns with notorious American mobster—and secret IRA fundraiser—Whitey Bulger; running, under cover of night, from safe house to safe house in the Irish countryside, one step ahead of British troops; being captured, imprisoned, and being part of a mass escape attempt; fending off a recruitment offer from the CIA; and being one of the masterminds behind a campaign to take out London's electrical system. 
   
   
    
  Along the way, Crawley is blisteringly candid about the memorable people he worked with, including behind-the-scenes portrayals of revered IRA leader Martin McGuinness, and of the psychopathic Whitey Bulger, as well as others in the Boston IRA support network. There are vivid portraits of colleagues and enemies, and Crawley is unflinching in his commentary on IRA leadership and their tactics, both military and political.

  Today every American is taught about watershed moments in the history of minorities’ struggles for civil rights over the course of American history: the Civil War, Brown v. Board of Education, Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Indeed, the use of the phrase “Civil Rights Movement” in America today almost invariably refers to the period of time from 1954-1964. 
  	However, the Civil Rights Movement actually came into existence long before it is presumed to have done so. The movement's primary work was slow, evolving, gradual and long-term. Its more glamorous moments, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956), the Selma to Montgomery March (1965), and the March on Washington (1963), mainly were supplemental to the all-important grassroots work already going on in communities, churches, legislatures, and courts. The nascent stages of the movement actually began far earlier, among abolitionists and the writings and activism of Frederick Douglass and others.  
  	Beginning in the summer of 1962, King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began to express interest in targeting one of the South's most brutally segregated cities. Nicknamed “Bombingham,” the city had witnessed the bombing of over a dozen black homes and churches in the previous five years. A victory in Birmingham was a goal that would embolden the Civil Rights Movement like never before.

  Narrated by the author! Experience Life on the Bridge in the voice of Autistic Advocate, Love on the Spectrum cast member, and therapist Kaelynn Partlow herself. This audiobook features new material that makes it a must-listen, including an introduction from and read by Cian O'Clery, director of Netflix's hit series Love on the Spectrum, as well as a bonus conversation with Kaelynn Partlow and Lisa Lane, co-CEO and co-Founder of Project Hope Foundation, a nonprofit autism service provider. Life on the Bridge is a warm, personal, and practical guide to understanding autism—from behaviors to communication and beyond. 
  You've heard from autistic authors. 
  You've heard from therapists. 
  Now hear from one extraordinary young woman who's both. 
  Experience autism from the inside out through a rare fusion of professional skill and personal understanding. Reshape what you know about the autism spectrum and increase your ability to give support. Varied perspectives among autistic individuals, their families, and professionals have often been difficult to reconcile. Now, you can bridge that divide with guidance from someone who’s lived in multiple worlds. Find immediate, actionable options to build connections, foster communication, navigate challenges, and enhance interactions. 
  SPECIFIC CONTENT: 
  Autism. What it is, what it isn’t, and what are the resulting misunderstandings across the spectrum? 
  Communication. Exactly how do you avoid misunderstandings, encourage conversation, and build options for better interaction? 
  Behavior. Learn about the origin and mechanics of meltdowns, stimming, perseveration, sensory distortion, and other common autistic challenges. 
  Interaction. The struggles are real: autism-enhanced loneliness, social-skill deficits, goal-setting, and the thorny issues of disability accommodation. 
  Common Questions. What are DSM-V diagnostic levels and why do they matter? What about therapy and ABA or routes to useful advocacy? 
  "Loved Kaelynn Partlow's information on ambiguity and communication. She gives lots of practical pointers on how to be more direct and specific when talking to autistic individuals. Vague, open ended questions are not effective communication." — Temple Grandin, New York Times bestselling author of Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions 
  "As a rising star in the field, Partlow is poised to become this generation’s Temple Grandin." — Erin R. Hahn, Ph.D., Department Chair and Professor of Psychology, Furman University Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
