Ten years before his death in 2008, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full, uncensored story of his life and times, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. Thus began a deep investigation into the vast and often hidden universe of Bill Buckley and the modern conservative revolution. BUCKLEY vividly captures its subject in all his facets and phases: founding editor of National Review, the 20th century’s most influential political journal; syndicated columnist, Emmy-winning TV debater and bestselling spy novelist; ally of Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater; mentor to Ronald Reagan; game-changing candidate for mayor of New York.

Charles Sumner is mainly known as the abolitionist statesman who suffered a brutal caning on the Senate floor in 1856. This violent episode has obscured Sumner’s status as the most passionate champion of equal rights of his time. A friend of Alexis de Tocqueville, an ally of Frederick Douglass and an adviser to Abraham Lincoln, Sumner helped the Union win the Civil War. In a comprehensive but fast-paced narrative, Zaakir Tameez presents Sumner as one of America’s forgotten founding fathers, a constitutional visionary who helped to rewrite the post-Civil War Constitution and give birth to modern civil rights law. He explores Sumner’s critical partnerships with the nation’s first generation of Black lawyers and civil rights leaders, whose legal contributions to Reconstruction have been overlooked for far too long.

Ravensbrück still evokes horror for those with knowledge of this infamous all-women’s concentration camp. Ravensbrück was atypical in other ways as well, not just as the only all-female German concentration camp, but because 80 percent of its inmates were political prisoners, among them a tight-knit group of women who had been active in the French Resistance. Already well-practiced in sabotaging the Nazis in occupied France, these women joined forces to defy their German captors and keep one another alive. After the war, they banded together once more, first to support one another in healing their bodies and minds and then to continue their crusade for freedom and justice --- an effort that would have repercussions for their country and the world into the 21st century.
