  A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
   
  “I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
   
  That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
   
  “What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

  A Room of One's Own

  Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between women and creativity. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University in 1928, this seminal work blends sharp wit, eloquence, and intellectual rigor to examine the systemic barriers that have historically denied women the opportunity to achieve their artistic potential. 
  Woolf argues that for women to write—and to thrive—they require financial independence and personal space, both literally and figuratively. Through vivid prose and compelling insights, she interrogates the social and cultural constraints placed on women and challenges readers to consider the enduring impact of inequality on art and literature. 
  More than a call to action, A Room of One’s Own is a celebration of the resilience of women writers and a rallying cry for the creation of a world where every voice can be heard. Profoundly relevant today, this masterpiece remains an essential read for anyone interested in gender, creativity, and the power of storytelling.

  In this innovative and concise work, Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu offers a compelling approach to understanding and fighting the increase in domestic and international terrorism throughout the world. Citing diverse examples from around the globe, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society which can successfully roll back terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism which is increasingly the product of Islamic militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was Soviet Communism. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this provocative book.

  Freedom's Battle

  "Freedom's Battle" is an influential essay written by Mahatma Gandhi in 1922 during the Indian independence movement. In this thought-provoking piece, Gandhi reflects on the principles of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as a means to challenge and overcome oppressive systems. 
   
  The essay begins with Gandhi acknowledging the critical juncture at which the fight for freedom stands. He passionately articulates the necessity of the struggle for independence and the moral imperative for individuals to resist unjust laws and policies. 
   
  Gandhi introduces the concept of Satyagraha, emphasizing the power of truth and nonviolence. He argues that nonviolent resistance is not a strategy of the weak but a potent force that requires great courage and strength of character. He believes that nonviolence is not a submission to injustice but a proactive, assertive force that can transform both the oppressor and the oppressed. 
   
  Throughout the essay, Gandhi explores the moral duty of individuals to engage in civil disobedience when faced with unjust laws. He contends that obedience to an unjust law is in itself a form of violence, and breaking such laws nonviolently becomes a powerful instrument for societal change. 
   
  Gandhi also touches on the idea of self-suffering as a means of resistance. He advocates for willingly enduring the consequences of civil disobedience as a way to awaken the conscience of the oppressor and the society at large. 
  "Freedom's Battle" is a call to action, urging individuals to recognize their agency in the struggle for freedom and justice. It remains a significant work that encapsulates Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and its application in the pursuit of social and political change. The essay serves as a timeless inspiration for movements advocating civil rights, justice, and freedom around the world.
