"This memoir's reward is insights shared by a man honest with himself and his strengths and limitations in a way that is compelling, actually quietly fascinating." -- Jay Levin, Founder of LA Weekly newspaper Having it all can leave you with nothing. At the height of the Dot-com Boom on Wall St., Matthew Spaur used his earnings from the tech industry to remarry, become a stepparent to three boys, and start a weekly newspaper--all at the same time. Overnight, he became a self-employed working parent with a new business in a cutthroat market. He did this despite having never owned a business, worked on a newspaper, taken a journalism class, sold advertising, or been a parent. Soon, the tech stock bubble burst, the 9/11 attacks exploded, and the country slid into recession and then war. Media outlets started receiving envelopes of anthrax in their mail. The internet revolution began to obliterate the newspaper industry. At home, his new wife and two of his step-sons developed life-threatening illnesses. What do you do when your fortune goes from bad to worse?Show book

Long before he became President of Sinn Féin, Gerry Adams was a civil rights activist who took part in sit-ins, marches and protests in Northern Ireland. Along with hundreds of other men, Adams was interned on the Maidstone prison ship and in Long Kesh prison – without charge or trial – during the 1970s for his political activities. Women were interned also, in Armagh Women's Prison. Cage Eleven is his own account – sometimes passionate, often humorous – of life in Long Kesh. Written while Adams was a prisoner, the pieces were smuggled out for publication. This updated edition includes a new introduction and sketches drawn in Cage Eleven by another prisoner at the time, Danny Devenny. 'Offers a unique insight into … the experience of internment … an unrivalled representation of the resilience and humour that were as much a part of the life of the political prisoner as the adherence to a set of political ideals.'

The story of resistance fighters during the Nazi occupation of Europe is one of extraordinary courage and sacrifice. While the grand battles of World War II are well-documented, the covert operations of ordinary individuals working against overwhelming odds often remain in the shadows. These resistance movements, comprised of men, women, and even children, were vital in undermining the Nazi regime and aiding the Allied forces. The resistance took many forms—sabotaging infrastructure, gathering intelligence, publishing underground newspapers, smuggling refugees to safety, and engaging in armed uprisings. From the dense forests of Poland to the urban streets of France, these efforts were not limited to soldiers but included citizens who refused to stand idly by in the face of tyranny. Their acts of defiance were not only dangerous but also deeply personal, driven by a profound belief in freedom and justice. This book seeks to illuminate the diverse and compelling stories of these underground movements. The French Resistance, with its network of Maquis fighters, was instrumental in coordinating Allied operations before D-Day. The Polish Underground Army orchestrated one of the most significant uprisings against Nazi occupation, showcasing unmatched determination. Similarly, in the Netherlands, resistance fighters risked their lives to hide Jewish families and sabotage German supply lines.Show book
