THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND, A "HOT WASH" ON THE AFGHAN PULLOUT, BY A COMBAT VETERAN AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR. "The way in which we're pulling out is something that's disgraceful ... a betrayal of what our soldiers have bled for" - Séamus Fennessy on NBC's TODAY Show 9/11 ... Never Forget? How did a planned withdrawal turn into a retreat, and the retreat into a humiliating rout - the most catastrophic military loss in American history? How was this disaster easily avoidable? Did the U.S. leadership aid the Taliban to victory? Why is America now in greater danger, and what can we do about it? Does the misconduct of President Biden meet the constitutional standard of treason? Simultaneously rational and passionate, respected scholar and veteran Séamus Fennessy demonstrates with cool logical clarity how the U.S. leadership's shockingly misconducted pullout from Afghanistan dishonors all American veterans and servicemembers, as well as the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks 20 years ago. Without engaging in the name calling and partisan pettiness so common today, this book destroys the claim that "there's no way in which we'd be able to leave Afghanistan ... without chaos ensuing." The Pullout Sellout is animated by the values encoded in the three hallowed words of General Douglas MacArthur: Duty, Honor, Country.

We all fear selling out. Yet we all face situations that test our ideals and values with no clear right answer. In a world where compromise is an essential aspect of life, authors Lily Zheng and Inge Hansen make the bold claim that everyone sells out-and that the real challenge lies in doing so ethically. Zheng and Hansen share stories from a diversity of people who have found their own answers to this dilemma and offer new ways to think about marginalization, privilege, and self-interest. From these stories, they pull out teachable skills for taking the step from selling out to selling out ethically. The Ethical Sellout is for all those committed to maintaining their integrity in a messy world.

The ongoing tumult in financial markets and the global economy began when some of our most esteemed financial institutions, our government, and even average citizens abdicated their collective responsibilities, eventually selling out investors and selling off the American Dream itself. From critically acclaimed investigative journalist and CNBC personality Charles Gasparino comes a sweeping examination of the most volatile, anxiety-ridden era in our nation's socioeconomic history. The winner of the 2009 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for Books, The Sellout traces the recent implosion of the financial services business back to its roots in the late 1970s, when Wall Street embraced a new business model predicated on enormous risk. Gasparino reveals a startling trail of culpability—from the government bureaucrats who crafted housing policies to the Wall Street firms that underwrote and invested in risky debt, to the mortgage sellers who indiscriminately handed out loans, and finally to the homeowners who thought they could afford mansions on blue-collar wages.

A hilarious collection inspired by a former Saturday Night Live writer's real experiences in Hollywood, chronicling the absurdity of fame and the humanity of failure in a world dominated by social media influencers and reality TV stars. Simon Rich is "one of the funniest writers in America" (Daily Beast) -- a humorist who draws comparisons to Douglas Adams (New York Times Book Review), James Thurber, and P.G. Wodehouse (The Guardian). With Hits and Misses, he's back with a hilarious new collection of stories about dreaming big and falling flat, about ordinary people desperate for stardom and the stars who are bored by having it all. Inspired by Rich's real experiences in Hollywood, Hits and Misses chronicles all the absurdity of fame and success alongside the heartbreaking humanity of failure. From a bitter tell-all by the horse Paul Revere rode to greatness to a gushing magazine profile of everyone's favorite World War II dictator, these stories roam across time and space to skewer our obsession with making it big -- from the days of ancient Babylon to the age of TMZ.
