Air Disaster: The Propeller Era
Macarthur Job - 2013
But the story of the infancy of the big airliners is as much a story of tragedy and disaster as it is of triumph and romance. Design flaws, pilot error, a lack of understanding of fatigue… these and many other factors contributed to a litany of catastrophe. Welsh rugby fans, flying back from a win against Ireland… a fuel-starved aeroplane plunging into Manchester’s streets… a chartered aircraft carrying excited troops home for Christmas… a young mother decapitated as she holds her toddler son on her lap In AIR DISASTER: THE PROPELLER ERA, the award-winning Macarthur Job – one of the world’s foremost aviation writers, and himself a pilot – goes back to the early days of international air travel, and looks at the root causes of some of the worst disasters of that period. Look out for the next three volumes of AIR DISASTER, coming soon.

Betty Broderick: Telling on myself
Betty Broderick - 2015
Worse still, he is a notoriously hard-ball lawyer with every intention of crushing you in any way he can, of erasing you from his life, of reducing you to nothing, so that he can move on as if you never existed. Daniel T. Broderick III’s relentless harassment of his discarded wife, Betty, made her increasingly crazy as he and his girlfriend – then second wife – Linda Kolkena Broderick piled on the pressure, until one day, on November 5, 1989, at her wits’ end and believing herself to be acting in self-defense, she confronted them in the early hours of the morning and in a panic shot them both dead. A multitude of onlookers has absolved Betty for what she did. Many even admire her, especially if they have suffered similar fates to hers. One juror at her trial openly questioned why she had taken so long to kill Dan under such extreme provocation. Now, twenty-five years into a thirty-two year to life prison sentence for her second-degree murder of Dan and Linda Broderick, Betty has reluctantly decided to give her personal account of what led up to that fatal and fateful day, when all three of their futures came violently and abruptly to an end.
Undaunted: The Tiger of Auschwitz
Garmaine Pitchon - 2016
That is where Garmaine Pitchon was when Hitler ascended to power and unleashed a diabolical scheme to annihilate the Jewish race. Follow along as Eli Gonzalez tells Garmaine story in a vibrant, chilling, and compelling narrative. Always a rambunctious, curious girl, Garmaine found a way to not wear the yellow Star of David and got to experience more than most before Garmaine experienced loss at an epic proportion. Her entire family was murdered, beginning with her grandmother, killed in her own grocery store by a Nazi officer who forced her to make him a sandwich as she walked over her just-murdered beloved grandmother’s warm, flowing blood. Experience the horror of the 9-Day train ride to Auschwitz and become a first hand witness to when it was only Nazi’s and Jews and the veil was pulled off and absolute evil abounded. Yet, there is something about Garmaine’s story, something divine that happened. What was meant to destroy her strengthened her. What was meant to stop her lineage became a force to help desperate mothers years after. When there is a divine purpose for your life and that of your family, no one and nothing can stop it.
