The story of the HMS Hood, the last great warship of the British Royal Navy, told by the bestselling author of Hannibal. When it was launched in 1918, the HMS Hood was the flagship of the Royal Navy. As a battle cruiser, “The Mighty Hood” was fast enough to evade enemy cruiser ships and powerful enough to destroy them. But for all the Hood’s might, it had one fatal flaw: armor had been sacrificed for speed. In 1941, the Hood confronted the legendary German warship Bismarck. A salvo from the enemy penetrated the Hood’s ammunition magazine, destroying the British ship and killing all but three of its crew. The brutal defeat marked the end of the Royal Navy’s dominance. But it also inspired Winston Churchill’s vow to sink the Bismarck—a vow that in time was fulfilled. Through oral history and documentary research, Ernle Bradford chronicles the Hood’s career from design to demise, with colorful insight into life aboard the ship as well as its broader historical significance.

Born with a plastic spoon in her mouth, Cecilia S. Johnson walks you through her diverse and often traumatic upbringing that led to her becoming one of the most compelling young figures in the conservative movement. Orginally from a small trailer park in Southeast Arkansas, she moved to the rough inner-city of Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 10. Ultimately adapting to her violent neighborhood and graduating from one of the lowest performing schools in the state, she felt herself floating through life with no real direction until stumbling upon the conniving world of politics where she fell in love with it. Through politics she was led to her other passions of helping others, particularly women, entrepreneurs, and youth. A true purging of her soul, Cecilia opens up about her battles with low self-esteem, suicide attempts, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of those she's trusted, the sadness and disappointment caused from the verbal abuse of those against her political beliefs, and the moment her world seemingly ended as she watched every breath of life leave her 3-year-old daughter as she sat by her hospital bed. This page turner is the ultimate story of a survivor determined to make each day better than the last and help others along the way.

Hoodie Rosen's life isn't that bad. Sure, his entire Orthodox Jewish community has just picked up and moved to the quiet, mostly non-Jewish town of Tregaron, but Hoodie's world hasn't changed that much.

The people of Tregaron aren’t happy that so many Orthodox Jews are moving in at once, but that’s not Hoodie’s problem. That is, until he meets and falls for Anna-Marie Diaz-O’Leary—who happens to be the daughter of the obstinate mayor trying to keep Hoodie’s community out of the town. And things only get more complicated when Tregaron is struck by a series of antisemitic crimes that quickly escalate to deadly violence. As his community turns on him for siding with the enemy, Hoodie finds himself caught between his first love and the only world he’s ever known. Isaac Blum delivers a wry, witty debut novel about a deeply important and timely subject, in a story of hatred and betrayal—and the friendships we find in the most unexpected places.
