Although less remembered than some of his colleagues, American diplomat Loy Henderson often stood in thick of controversy during his distinguished forty-year career. Brands here presents a dual study of the career of one of the most influential American diplomats of the 20th century, and of America's rise to hegemony over half the world. From Moscow in the 1930s to Tehran in the 1950s, Henderson played a central role in the creation of the modern American empire. Brands weaves the two stories together in a fashion that engagingly illuminates the interplay between issues and individuals in the formation of American foreign policy.

From award-winning author Kelly Loy Gilbert comes a powerful, achingly romantic drama about the secrets we keep, from each other and from ourselves, perfect for fans of Permanent Record and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter. All Beth wants is for her tight-knit circle of friends—Grace Nakamura, Brandon Lin, Sunny Chen, and Jason Tsou—to stay together. With her family splintered and her future a question mark, these friends are all she has—even if she sometimes wonders if she truly fits in with them. Besides, she’s certain she’ll never be able to tell Jason how she really feels about him, so friendship will have to be enough. Then Beth witnesses a private act of violence in Jason’s home, and the whole group is shaken. Beth and her friends make a pact to do whatever it takes to protect Jason, no matter the sacrifice. But when even their fierce loyalty isn’t enough to stop Jason from making a life-altering choice, Beth must decide how far she’s willing to go for him—and how much of herself she’s willing to give up.
