<b>The extraordinary story of Olympian who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and survived to tell his story.</b><br/><br/>Alfred Nakache, a Jewish child from Constantine, never imagined that he would one day swim for France at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, nor than he would achieve a world record, as he did in 1941. As a child he was petrified of the water and yet, somehow, through sheer willpower and determination, he rose to become one of the very best swimmers in the world. That was until 1943, when he was banned from the pool - and in the same year, deported and sent to Auschwitz.<br/><br/>Not knowing if he would ever see his wife and daughter again, Alfred battled on, through the humiliation and the pain, even defying the guards by swimming in the water reserves of Auschwitz. Somehow - miraculously - he survived, swimming every day until the end of his life.<br/><br/><i>The Swimmer of Auschwitz</i> is the unique, true story of a forgotten hero, told with remarkable power and simplicity.

<b>'With the nuance of a reporter and the pace of a thriller writer, Andy Greenberg gives us a glimpse of the cyberwars of the future while at the same time placing his story in the long arc of Russian and Ukrainian history.' -Anne Applebaum, bestselling author of <i>Twilight of Democracy</i><br/><br/>'A chilling account of a Kremlin-led cyberattack, a new front in global conflict" -<i>Financial Times</i></b><br/><br/><b>The true story of the most devastating act of cyberwarfare in history and the desperate hunt to identify and track the elite Russian agents behind it.<br/></b><br/>In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage - the largest, most destructive cyberattack the world had ever seen.<br/><br/>This is the true story of the hunt to unmask Sandworm: the group of hackers behind the attacks working in service of Russia's military intelligence agency. Following the years-long, globe-spanning work of the detectives tracking them, <i>Operation Sandworm </i>also exposes the larger story of a new global arms race, and the geopolitical chaos it is unleashing on the world. A narrative full of twists and turns, it captures a chilling new reality: in a war without borders, all of us live on the frontline.

War is an intimate and sweeping account of one of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history. We see President Joe Biden and his top advisers in tense conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. We also see Donald Trump, conducting a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power. With unrivalled, inside-the-room reporting, Woodward shows President Biden&rsquo;s approach to managing the war in Ukraine, the most significant land war in Europe since World War II, and his tortured path to contain the bloody Middle East conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas. Woodward reveals the extraordinary complexity and consequence of wartime back-channel diplomacy and decision-making to deter the use of nuclear weapons and a rapid slide into World War III. The raw cage-fight of politics accelerates as Americans prepare to vote in 2024, starting between President Biden and Trump, and ending with the unexpected elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. War provides an unvarnished examination of the vice president as she tries to embrace the Biden legacy and policies while beginning to chart a path of her own as a presidential candidate. Woodward&rsquo;s reporting once again sets the standard for journalism at its most authoritative and illuminating.

<b>In the vein of <i>Notorious RBG</i>, a fun and inspiring biography filled with lessons from the most powerful woman in the world, based on more than a decade's worth of coverage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel from <i>New York Times</i> Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy.</b><br/><br/>Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the "Merkel Diamond") and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. The first woman chancellor of Germany and one of the longest-serving European leaders ever, Merkel's quiet resolve, calculated confidence, and extreme privacy around her personal life have made her a feminist role model for the ages. <i>Merkel's Law</i> is a revelatory look at an unlikely vanguard, and at the country she led for sixteen years.<br/><br/>No one is better positioned than <i>New York Times</i> Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany's rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD. Drawing upon an unparalleled well of sources close to Merkel, <i>Merkel's Law</i> traces her childhood in East Germany as the daughter of a clergyman, her meteoric rise to power, and her more recent public acclaim-as well as the numerous setbacks she faced along the way both from political rivals and from men in her own party who scoffed at her ambition. Painting a portrait of a political genius, savvy businesswoman, and model for modern power, <i>Merkel's Law</i> is not only the story of her life, but the lessons we can learn from it.
