Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Shots in the Night is the story of a political murder: the killing of an IRA member turned British informant. The search for justice for this one man's death—his body found in broad daylight, with tape over his eyes, an undisguised hit—would deliver more than the truth. It exposed his status as an informant and led to protests, campaigns, far-reaching changes to British law, a historic ruling from a senior judicial body, a ground-breaking police investigation, and bitter condemnation from a US Congressional commission. And there have been persistent rumors that one of the country’s most senior politicians, the Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness, might have been personally involved in this particular murder. Relying on archival research, interviews, and the findings of a new complete police investigation, Four Shots in the Night tells a riveting story not just of this murder but of his role in the decades-long conflict that defined him--the Troubles. And the questions it tackles are even larger: how did the Troubles really come to an end? Was it a feat of diplomatic negotiation, as we've been told--or did spies play the decisive role? And how far can, or should, a spy go, for the good of his country? Four Shots in the Night is a page-turner that will make you think.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When four New York City police officers killed Amadou Diallo in 1999, the forty-one shots they fired echoed loudly across the nation. In death, Diallo joined a long list of young men of color killed by police fire in cities and towns all across America. Through innuendos of criminality, many of these victims could be discredited and, by implication, held responsible for their own deaths. But Diallo was an innocent, a young West African immigrant doing nothing more suspicious than returning home to his Bronx apartment after working hard all day in the city. Protesters took to the streets, successfully demanding that the four white officers be brought to trial. When the officers were acquitted, however, horrified onlookers of all races and ethnicities despaired of justice. In 41 Shots . . . and Counting, Beth Roy offers an oral history of Diallo’s death. Through interviews with members of the community, with police officers and lawyers, with government officials and mothers of young men in jeopardy, the book traces the political and racial dynamics that placed the officers outside Diallo’s house that night, their fingers on symbolic as well as actual triggers. With lucid analysis, Roy explores events in the courtroom, in city hall, in the streets, and in the police precinct, revealing the interlacing conflict dynamics. 41 Shots . . . and Counting allows the reader to consider the implications of the Diallo case for our national discourses on politics, race, class, crime, and social justice.

Book excerpt: The astonishing story of the British spies who set out to draw America into World War II As World War II raged into its second year, Britain sought a powerful ally to join its cause-but the American public was sharply divided on the subject. Canadian-born MI6 officer William Stephenson, with his knowledge and influence in North America, was chosen to change their minds by any means necessary. In this extraordinary tale of foreign influence on American shores, Henry Hemming shows how Stephenson came to New York--hiring Canadian staffers to keep his operations secret--and flooded the American market with propaganda supporting Franklin Roosevelt and decrying Nazism. His chief opponent was Charles Lindbergh, an insurgent populist who campaigned under the slogan "America First" and had no interest in the war. This set up a shadow duel between Lindbergh and Stephenson, each trying to turn public opinion his way, with the lives of millions potentially on the line.

Over 200 Wonderful, Weird, and Wacky Moments from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa (1996-2020) By: Stephen Mulligan Just like his first two books, Were You There? Over 300 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from the Pittsburgh Civic/Mellon Arena and Were You There? Over 300 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium, author Stephen Mulligan continues his series with this latest book, Were You There? Over 200 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre (1996-2020). Here, Stephen takes readers on another memorable journey of special events. Beginning with its opening day on January 15, 1996 to 2020, the book details 25 years of the hits and misses of this west end Ottawa structure. Many of the greatest moments came from the accomplishments of athletes and entertainers who performed there. They include Wayne Gretzky, Daniel Alfredsson, Eric Lindros, Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Neil Diamond, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Alanis Morissette, The Tragically Hip, Stompin’ Tom Connors and several others. All of these talented individuals/groups, along with a host of “ordinary” folks have a moment(s) in this book. Were You There?
