Summary

The Khmer Rouge Purge: A Villager’s Journey Through the Killing Fields of CambodiaWhen the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia, they promised a new society. What they delivered was terror. Families were torn apart, children indoctrinated, and millions of lives destroyed in the name of revolution.In this powerful memoir, survivor Tom Hout Chow shares the story of life as an ordinary villager caught in one of history’s darkest regimes. Through famine, forced labor, and the silence of the Killing Fields, he reveals the pain of a people stripped of freedom, dignity, and even family bonds.Yet this is more than a story of loss. It is also a testimony of resilience. Chow shows how determination, faith, and the hunger to learn became lifelines that no tyrant could take away. From the villages of Cambodia to the refugee camps of Thailand, his journey is a reminder that dictators can destroy bodies, but they cannot kill the human spirit.The Khmer Rouge Purge is at once a historical witness, a personal journey, and a call to remember—so that the world never repeats the mistakes of the past.

‘THE BEST WE CAN DO IS WONDER AND ENJOY BEING PUZZLED’ 
Books on Jack the Ripper can be hard work. Authors have felt obliged to pack information around a chronological account of the murders. Participants in the events appear and reappear leaving a reader confused. Often an unconvincing suspect is identified. 
Light Work is different and serious, but sometimes sardonic. The story or legend of Jack the Ripper is separated into self-contained topics. The range within Light Work is wide and contains some surprises – London smog, music hall entertainers, Irish revolutionaries, female political radicals, a Texan serial killer, modern Jack the Ripper tours, and even a surreal visit to a lake filled with corpses. 
‘Light Work’ offers a fresh, independent and common sense perspective on the events in Whitechapel in 1888.

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is no longer fit for purpose.
		 
Reflecting on his career in the RCMP from 1973 to 2003, Garry Clement recounts his childhood in rural Ontario; his RCMP training in Regina; his drug-bust days based in British Columbia, Montreal, and Toronto; his work battling the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of Canada; his role in the Parliament Hill bus hijacking; his involvement in the post–9/11 Maher Arar inquiry; his impact on the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program and on anti–money laundering in Canada and abroad; and his reasons for leaving the RCMP. Under Cover  provides a gripping and vulnerable inside look into the corruption of politics and policing in Canada.
		 
In light of the mounting complexities of transnational organized crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and financial crime, Clement calls for a complete revamping of the culture of federal policing. We need a fundamental structural reformation of the RCMP. Garry Clement offers direct recommendations for how to approach such a task.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
“Savagery appeased can only grow. Once you give in to it, it must escalate, like a fire searching for air.” 
The man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates. 
In RECESSIONAL he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West. 
A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, RECESSIONAL examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy – the foundations of security and growth. 
A wickedly funny, wistful and wry appeal to the free-thinking citizen, RECESSIONAL is a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.
