Now with four new chapters that explore Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign; his sparring with Trump, both in and out of the debates; and his ultimate election as the 46th president of the United States Raised in the working-class towns of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, and with lackluster grades in school and no particular goals, Joe Biden shocked the nation in 1972 when he became one of the youngest elected senators in U.S. history. Over the course of more than four decades, he carved a legacy for himself as one of the most respected legislators in the country before going on to serve as the vice president under Barack Obama and ultimately taking up the office of president in his own right. Yet Biden’s political success has been matched by personal tragedy and countless challenges. Within two months of being elected in 1972, Biden lost his wife, Neilia, and his young daughter in a tragic accident—a loss that brought him to the nadir of despair and shook his resolve to stay in politics. He suffered two brain aneurysms and career-threatening gaffes and miscues. In 2015, he lost his eldest son, Beau, to brain cancer. These difficult trials left him a more compassionate man, particularly suited for “the battle for America’s soul” in the midst of the nationwide divisiveness brought to a head by President Trump. Based on exhaustive research by one of Washington’s most prolific journalists, including numerous exclusive interviews with Biden’s confidants and family members, as well as President Obama and the former vice president himself, Joe Biden goes beyond conventional biography to track the forces that have shaped a man whose plainspoken style and inspiring life story have resonated with millions of Americans and whose work has shaped modern American life.

One of the Best Books of 2017: National Public Radio, San Francisco Chronicle, Library Journal, Shelf Awareness "Remarkable . . . Captivating . . . Rachlin is a skilled storyteller." --New York Times Book Review "A gripping legal-thriller mystery . . . Profoundly elevates good-cause advocacy to greater heights--to where innocent lives are saved." --USA Today "A crisply written page turner." --NPR A gripping account of one man's long road to freedom that will forever change how we understand our criminal justice system During the last three decades, more than two thousand American citizens have been wrongfully convicted. Ghost of the Innocent Man brings us one of the most dramatic of those cases and provides the clearest picture yet of the national scourge of wrongful conviction and of the opportunity for meaningful reform. When the final gavel clapped in a rural southern courtroom in the summer of 1988, Willie J. Grimes, a gentle spirit with no record of violence, was shocked and devastated to be convicted of first-degree rape and sentenced to life imprisonment. Here is the story of this everyman and his extraordinary quarter-century-long journey to freedom, told in breathtaking and sympathetic detail, from the botched evidence and suspect testimony that led to his incarceration to the tireless efforts to prove his innocence and the identity of the true perpetrator. These were spearheaded by his relentless champion, Christine Mumma, a cofounder of North Carolina's Innocence Inquiry Commission. That commission--unprecedented at its inception in 2006--remains a model organization unlike any other in the country, and one now responsible for a growing number of exonerations. With meticulous, prismatic research and pulse-quickening prose, Benjamin Rachlin presents one man's tragedy and triumph. The jarring and unsettling truth is that the story of Willie J. Grimes, for all its outrage, dignity, and grace, is not a unique travesty. But through the harrowing and suspenseful account of one life, told from the inside, we experience the full horror of wrongful conviction on a national scale. Ghost of the Innocent Man is both rare and essential, a masterwork of empathy. The book offers a profound reckoning not only with the shortcomings of our criminal justice system but also with its possibilities for redemption.

Growing up in a small town in Ohio, Chelsea's life is picture-perfect. A solid, Christian family running their little farm while homeschooling their children is what people see on the outside. But that is far from the truth. Her parents' obscure religious beliefs and tainted thinking are a prison for her to thrive while growing up. Sexual abuse by her father, as well as other trusted adults, are normal occurrences during her childhood. The secrets of abuse and the shame it causes build even-thicker prison walls. With incredible strength and the support of friends, Chelsea finds the courage to speak up and break free. She learns that true freedom does not come when the abuse stops. It is a long journey of altering her mind and learning the truth of who God created her to be.

Not only does Chelsea share her pain but also her healing journey and how God has brought redemption from her pain. She explains in detail what has helped her continue to push through and also what has gotten her through many dark, hopeless days. Chelsea's desire for the book is to bring light to the extreme darkness of abuse and to show others there is hope through healing to those fighting to survive.

This is book 2 in the Check Mate series. (Warning: This book series contains violence and suicides. It is recommended for adults only.) The American Townships aren't like they used to be, at least not in San Tropolis, the township where President Aldrich rules. Thanks to the plotters and their attempts to get people to rebel, there's a lot of civil unrest. Bombings and rioting are commonplace now. Such things were unheard of until recently. As more people become brave enough to stand up against Aldrich and the High Council, the president fears he is losing control of the township. Despite their efforts, Darren and the other plotters still haven't been able to put an end to Check Mate, the show that rewards assailants for killing people. To make matters worse, one of the plotters has betrayed their group. Can the remaining plotters ever be able to come up with a plan to end the lethal reality series? Will there be a way to take Aldrich and his brother, Frank Sommers, down? It at least helps that most people hate the president and the High Council. The plotters may get more help than they expected. Their group faces a daunting task, but they will never accept Aldrich's rules or his barbaric TV show. Will they be safe? Will they ever get over the betrayal from one of their own? Will they ever be able to put an end to Check Mate? Whatever happens, they know that they can't sit back and watch people be killed each week for the High Council's entertainment. No matter what, the plotters must do everything they can to stop Aldrich and the High Council!

In Nazi Germany, the cult of celebrity was the embodiment of Hitler s style of cultural governance. Hitler s rise to power owed much to the creation of his own celebrity, and the country s greatest stars, whether they were actors, writers, or musicians, could be one of only two things. If they were compliant, they were lauded and awarded status symbols for the regime; but if they resisted or were simply Jewish they were traitors to be interned and murdered. This fascinating analysis offers a shocking portrait of a Hitler shaped by aspirations to Hollywood-style fame, of the correlation between art and ambition, of films used as weapons, and of sexual predilections. The Fuhrer believed he was an artist, not a politician, and in his Germany politics and culture became one. His celebrity was cultivated and nurtured by Joseph Goebbels, Germany s supreme head of culture. Hitler and Goebbels enjoyed the company of beautiful female film stars, and Goebbels had his own casting couch. In Germany s version of Hollywood there were scandals, starlets, secret agents, premieres, and party politics. The Third Reich would launch filmmaker and actress Leni Riefenstahl to prominence by making her its own glorifying documentarian, most famously in The Triumph of the Will, the innovative propaganda film starring Hitler and widely considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made. It is no coincidence that Eva Braun, Hitler s longtime partner and wife for the two days leading up to their joint suicide, was a photographer, and in fact shot most of the surviving photographs and film footage of her lover. This book reveals previously unpublished information about the Hitler film, which Goebbels envisaged as the greatest story ever told, although it was ultimately trumped by the dictator s own, real-life Wagnerian finale.
