Blood and Belief
The PKK and the Kurdish Fight for Independence

by Aliza Marcus
ISBN: 9780814757116
$35.00 Hardcover
New York University Press

Blood and Belief combines reportage and scholarship to give the first in-depth account of the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party. Aliza Marcus, one of the first Western reporters to meet with PKK rebels, wrote about their war for many years before being put on trial in Turkey for her reporting. Based on her interviews with PKK rebels and their supporters and opponents throughout the world--including the Palestinians who trained them, the intelligence services that tracked them, and the dissidents who tried to break them up--Marcus provides an in-depth account of this influential radical group.

The Girls Who Went Away
The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade

by Ann Fessler
ISBN: 9780143038979
$15.00 Paperback
Penguin Books

In this deeply moving work, Ann Fessler brings to light the lives of hundreds of thousands of young single American women forced to give up their newborn children in the years following World War II and before Roe v. Wade. The Girls Who Went Away tells a story not of wild and carefree sexual liberation, but rather of a devastating double standard that has had punishing long-term effects on these women and on the children they gave up for adoption. Based on Fessler's groundbreaking interviews, it brings to brilliant life these women's voices and the spirit of the time, allowing each to share her own experience in gripping and intimate detail.
ZigZag
The Incredible Wartime Exploits of Double Agent Eddie Chapman
by Nicholas Booth
ISBN: 9781559708609
$26.99 Hardcover
Arcade Publishing

Eddie Chapman was handsome, witty, and charming--a con man, jailbird, womanizer, and safe-cracker. He was also the most remarkable double agent of World War II. Until now, Chapman's extraordinary double life has never been told, thwarted by the Official Secrets Act. Now all the evidence has been released, paving the way for Nicholas Booth's enthralling account of Chapman's long and tumultuous life. For those fascinated by behind-the-scenes stories of WW II, this utterly captivating, multifaceted character, who seemed fearless in the direst of circumstances, will win them over with his cool, his smarts, and his charm.
