In 1981 ten men starved themselves to death inside the walls of Long Kesh prison in Belfast. While a stunned world watched and distraught family members kept bedside vigils, one "soldier" after another slowly went to his death in an attempt to make Margaret Thatcher's government recognize them as political prisoners rather than common criminals. Drawing extensively on secret IRA documents and letters from the prisoners smuggled out at the time, David Beresford tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. An intensely human story, Ten Men Dead offers a searing portrait of strife-torn Ireland, of the IRA, and the passions -- on both sides -- that Republicanism arouses.

A darkly witty tale of one woman’s relationships with ten very different men on her road to finding The One... “A brilliant read.”—Cosmopolitan A bestseller in the UK, this novel follows an unnamed woman as she encounters ten men—also unnamed, aside from the nicknames she gives them. There is The Virgin, who wants her as his first but not necessarily his last; The Billionaire, a walking bankroll with a bankrupt heart; The Director, who won’t leave his wife; The Lover, who’s out of her head when he’s out of her bed; and a half dozen more—none of whom manage to meet her needs. As the years pass and she journeys from an island off France to Texas to England and beyond, our heroine learns a little bit more with each man she meets—and ultimately must figure out what’s missing in herself. “Funny and incisive.”—Candace Bushnell “Gray is a wry observer of love and of men.”—The Washington Post

No sport rivals football for building character. In the scorching heat of two-a-days and the fierce combat of the gridiron, true leaders are born. Just ask Bill Curry, whose credentials for exploring the relationship between football and leadership include two Super Bowl rings and the distinction of having snapped footballs to Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas. In Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle, Curry shares the wit, wisdom, and tough love of teammates and coaches who turned him from a next-to-last NFL draft pick into a two-time Pro Bowler. Learning from such giants as Vince Lombardi and Don Shula, Ray Nitschke and Bubba Smith, Bobby Dodd and even the indomitable George Plimpton, Curry led a football life of nonstop exploration packed with adventure and surprise. Blessed with irresistible characters, rich personal history, and a strong, simple, down-to-earth voice, Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle proves that football is much more than a game. It’s a metaphor for life. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to them. Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way—and experienced both good and bad consequences—and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories. In this ten-session workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite stories of these men in the Bible. Stories include: Noah: When You're Low on Hope Job: The Most Famous Conversation in the Bible Jacob: Wrestling with the Past Moses: The Voice from the Mop Bucket David: Colossal Collapses Joseph: Unanswered Questions Matthew: Friend of Flops Peter: The Gospel of the Second Chance Lazarus: The Final Witness Paul: Don’t Write Off Anyone Each session includes five insights on each character and Bible study questions to help you delve into the stories and apply them to your life.

A Stylist pick of the best non-fiction for 2024 TEN MEN, MANY STORIES. At the beginning of the year, Kitty Ruskin decided it was time to embrace her sexuality, taking advantage of all the joys that being young, free and single bring and having fun, easy, no-strings sex with whomsoever she desired. She got on the apps and started swiping. What followed was sometimes sexy, frequently funny, occasionally shocking and, sadly, all too often fraught with pain and danger. It was not the carefree adventure she had envisaged; it was something altogether darker. Ten Men is one woman's tale told with searing honesty. It's an exploration of the 'blurred lines' that even seemingly nice guys can exploit, a meditation on the lack of clarity around consent and a call to arms to combat a culture that seems to thrive on women's vulnerability.
