  The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. 
   
   
   
  Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. 
   
   
   
  Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought.

  From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. 
   
   
   
  Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either "anti-abortion" or "pro-choice," the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. 
   
   
   
  In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. 
   
   
   
  At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.

  The pursuit of speed has always captivated the human imagination, driving innovation and inspiring some of the greatest technological advancements in history. From the Wright brothers’ first powered flight to the jet-propelled marvels of the 20th century, aviation has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible. Among these achievements, the fastest planes in history hold a special allure, embodying the pinnacle of engineering ingenuity and daring ambition.  
    
  This book delves into the enigmatic world of high-speed aviation, where myths and reality often intertwine. The fastest planes are not merely machines; they are symbols of national pride, strategic power, and the unyielding human desire to conquer the skies. Their stories are riddled with secrecy, as many of these aircraft were developed in the shadows of classified programs. Some remain shrouded in mystery, with questions about their true capabilities and existence lingering decades after their supposed flights.  
    
  Central to this narrative is the SR-71 Blackbird, an engineering masterpiece that redefined what it meant to be fast. Known as the "Habu" to those who flew it, this aircraft’s extraordinary performance—combined with its striking appearance—cemented its legendary status. Yet, the SR-71 is just one chapter in the larger saga of aviation speed. The rumored Aurora project, whispers of hypersonic successors, and the race to develop spaceplanes all contribute to a tapestry of intrigue that continues to evolve today.
