Beschreibung

In "Russia in 1916," Stephen Graham provides a vivid, immersive portrayal of the tumultuous landscape of pre-revolutionary Russia, encapsulating the socio-political climate and the undercurrents of discontent that characterized the era. Through a blend of keen observational powers and rich descriptive prose, Graham delineates a society at the brink of monumental change. The narrative intricately examines the juxtaposition of the opulence experienced by the elite and the pervasive hardships endured by the masses, rendered against the backdrop of World War I. His firsthand accounts reflect the anxieties of a nation grappling with its identity and future, making this work both a historical document and literary exploration of human experience in a time of crisis. Stephen Graham, a British journalist and writer, had a profound interest in Russia and its complexities, fortified by his experiences living and traveling through the country. His background in literature and journalism, combined with his keen understanding of Russian culture and history, equipped him to capture the essence of this pivotal year effectively. Graham's insights, influenced by his personal observations and rich interactions with the Russian populace, lend authenticity and depth to the narrative. "Russia in 1916" is an essential read for those captivated by Russian history, literature, and the shifts that birthed the modern world. Graham'Äôs articulate prose coupled with his astute observations invites readers to reflect on the events leading to the Revolution and the human stories intertwined within them. This book will not only enrich one'Äôs understanding of a pivotal historical moment but will also resonate with anyone interested in the dramatic interplay of culture, politics, and the resilience of the human spirit.

    From surfer and writer Stuart Holmes Coleman, Eddie Would Go is the compelling story of Eddie Aikau's legendary life and legacy, a pipeline into the exhilarating world of surfing, and an important chronicle of the Hawaiian Renaissance and the emergence of modern Hawaii. 
     
     
     
    In the 1970s, a decade before bumper stickers and T-shirts bearing the phrase Eddie Would Go began popping up all over the Hawaiian islands and throughout the surfing world, Eddie Aikau was proving what it meant to be a "waterman." As a fearless and gifted surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as the first and most famous Waimea Bay lifeguard on the North Shore, he saved hundreds of lives from its treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save the crew aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule'a.

    An incisive, authoritative account of the West's failures in Afghanistan, from 9/11 to the fall of Kabul 
     
     
      
    In 1958, Richard Nixon described Afghanistan as "unconquerable." On August 15, 2021, he was proven right. After twenty years of intervention, US and NATO forces retreated, enabling the Taliban to return to power. Tens of thousands were killed in the long, unwinnable war, and millions more were displaced—leaving the future of Afghanistan hanging in the balance. 
     
     
      
    Leading expert Amin Saikal traces the full story of America's intervention, from 9/11 to the present crisis. After an initial swift military strike, the US became embroiled in a drawn-out struggle to change Afghanistan but failed to achieve its aims. Saikal shows how this failure was underlined by protracted attempts to capture Osama bin Laden, an inability to secure a viable government via "democracy promotion" efforts, and lack of wider strategy in the "war on terror." 
     
     
      
    How to Lose a War offers an insightful account of one of the US's most significant foreign policy failures—and considers its dire consequences for the people of Afghanistan.

    The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans—the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history. 
      
    Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab.  
      
    Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it's all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas’s famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson’s Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football. 
      
    A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans’ tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season. 
      
    This audiobook includes an exclusive conversation between the author and singer-songwriter Rhett Miller (the Old 97's, Wheels Off podcast).
