The Blood Between Us
In a matter of days, an intense rebel offensive brought down one of the world’s most entrenched regimes, ending the sixty-year Baathist dictatorship and the Assad family’s grip on Syria. The speed of the collapse stunned observers. Yet this was no sudden fall. It was the culmination of a revolution forged through years of protest, repression and resistance. The fall triggered celebrations and freedoms Syrians had not experienced in decades. But the cost has been immense, and the wounds of violence are unresolved. As the country enters a precarious new phase, urgent questions remain: can justice be delivered and a fractured society rebuilt? Or will competing powers and unaddressed grievances pull Syria back into conflic? rawing on first-hand reporting and interviews across Syria, Robin Yassin-Kassab traces this pivotal moment through the lives of those who lived it. The Blood Between Us is a portrait of a country suspended between collapse and possibility – and a clear-eyed account of who will shape what comes next.

Lumumba
Patrice Lumumba had been prime minister of the newly liberated Congo for only seven months at the time of his assassination in 1961. As news of his execution spread, his image was brandished in demonstrations around the world along with those of Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. He would go on to become an icon of anti-imperialist struggle and perhaps the most famous leader of the African independence movement. Lumumba’s life and the freedom that he sought for the Congo exposed ongoing Western colonialism and the problematic nature of the independence granted to huge swathes of the globe after 1945. Leo Zeilig’s concise, direct biography tells the story of the Congo in the dying days of colonialism; of Lumumba’s transition from nationalist, to revolutionary, to international symbol of African liberation; and of the role of Western powers in his murder.

YO! MAN
From rock’n’roll roadie to conveyor belt sushi empire – the unlikely story of the man who built YO!In 1997, Simon Woodroffe opened YO! Sushi with L200,000 and a 100-metre conveyor belt. For two weeks, nobody came. By week three, there was a queue around the block that lasted three years. But Simon’s journey to that moment was anything but conventional. A former roadie and stage designer who worked on Live Aid and built sets for rock legends, he’d been expelled from school, arrested for drugs at nineteen, and served time in a young offender’s prison. By his early forties, after business failures and divorce, he was nearly broke and wondering if he’d ever amount to anything. Then came fire-walking. Lunch with a Japanese businessman. A crazy idea. And the decision to risk everything at forty-five. This is the brutally honest, wildly entertaining story of how Simon created not just one but multiple iconic brands: YO! Sushi, YOTEL and the YO! empire itself. From the Creative Britannia moment of the late 90s to bankruptcy scares, difficult partnerships and becoming an original Dragon on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, Simon holds nothing back about the sleepless nights, mental health struggles, relationship disasters and moments of pure terror when everything hung by a thread. Whether you’re forty-five and wondering if it’s too late, or nineteen and wondering if it’s possible, YO! MAN proves that the most unlikely journeys often lead to the most extraordinary destinations.

Breaking the New Axis
Blending history, strategy, and policy, this analysis presents a comprehensive U.S. approach to countering the coordinated threat posed by China, Russia, and Iran. It outlines how America can exploit their shared weaknesses and secure strategic dominance across Eurasia through military preparedness, alliance-building, and coherent grand strategy. This innovative work fundamentally redefines how the United States should approach grand strategy when confronting the “New Axis” of China, Russia, and Iran by revealing their critical weaknesses—internal pressures, lack of cohesive coordination, and short-term thinking—and presenting a unique opportunity for America to turn the tide. Authors Seth Cropsey and Harry Halem meticulously explain why Eurasia, the world’s largest landmass and historically the epicenter of power, remains strategically paramount. Structured into four compelling sections, Breaking the New Axis guides readers through the intricacies of geopolitics, strategy, and large-scale combat: exploring Eurasian strategic thought, dissecting threats from revisionist powers, examining defense technology's role, and demanding U.S. strategic coherence. The book offers actionable solutions, with a detailed roadmap for preparing the United States to deter and, if necessary, win a Eurasian-wide war: revitalizing the defense industrial base, reorganizing command-and-control for combat, leveraging strategic intelligence, and strengthening alliances across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Engaging, deeply insightful, and unequivocally urgent, Breaking the New Axis is an indispensable read for policymakers, strategists, and anyone invested in global stability.
