As Ireland's Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy took on one of the toughest briefs in government, one that continues to be a challenge today. Looking back at his life in the build-up to parliamentary office and at his time in the cabinet, Eoghan brings a self-lacerating and deeply personal view of the life of a modern politician trying - and often failing - to make the positive change he hoped to deliver. Brutal and sometimes harrowing, Eoghan's tale is also surprisingly funny, though the humour is only ever at the author's expense.

Perle Mesta was a force to be reckoned with. In her heyday, this wealthy globe-trotting Washington widow was one of the most famous women in America, garnering as much media attention as Eleanor Roosevelt. Renowned for her world-class parties featuring politicians and celebrities, she was very close to three presidents–Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson. Truman named her as the first female envoy to Luxembourg, which inspired the hit musical based on Perle’s life – “Call Me Madam” – which starred Ethel Merman, ran on Broadway for two years and later became a movie.

Begonnen beim Tod ihrer Mutter, bis zu ihrem Tod selbst erleben wir Elisabeth einmal vollkommen anders.

Studienrat Alfred Hauschild war ein außergewöhnliche Mensch, der in kein Raster paßte. Dieses Buch wurde in seinem Nachlass gefunden und handelt von seiner Jugend zur Zeit des Mauerbaus, von seinem Leben im Ostteil Berlins unter der Führung der SED, schließlich aber auch von seiner vermeintlichen Republikflucht, der darauf folgenden Inhaftierung und der von westlicher Seite erkauften Freiheit im Westteil der Hauptstadt. Hauschilds Leben in der DDR war geprägt von dem Drang, sich nicht vom System unter der Herrschaft der SED vereinnahmen zu lassen und seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.

A lot has been written about the time contractor Raymond Davis spent in a Pakistani jail in 2011. Unfortunately, much of it is misleading—or downright false—information. Now, the man at the center of the controversy tells his side of the story for the very first time. In The Contractor: How I Landed in a Pakistani Prison and Ignited a Diplomatic Crisis, Davis offers an up-close and personal look at the 2011 incident in Lahore, Pakistan, that led to his imprisonment and the events that took place as diplomats on both sides of the bargaining table scrambled to get him out.
