Bill Ayers was born into privilege and is today a highly respected educator. In the late 1960s he was a young pacifist who helped to found one of the most radical political organizations in U.S. history, the Weather Underground. In a new era of antiwar activism and suppression of protest, his story, Fugitive Days, is more poignant and relevant than ever.

"A wild and painful ride in the savage years of the late sixties. A very good book about a terrifying time in America."
—Hunter S. Thompson, author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels

In 2001, Thomas DeWolf discovered that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in United States history, responsible for transporting at least 10,000 Africans. His ancestor, U.S. senator James DeWolf of Bristol, Rhode Island, continued in the trade after it was outlawed, dying the second-richest man in America in 1837.

As an activist, Sophia Raday ran away from cops dressed in riot gear. Then, much to her surprise, she fell in love with one. Barrett was not only an Oakland police officer but a soldier as well: a West Point graduate, an Airborne Ranger, and a major in the Army Reserve. Today, his nightstand holds reading like Terror in Breslan and American Rifleman; hers, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and a printout of the Anusara yoga opening chant.

Running with Scissors meets The Liar's Club in this edgy and wickedly hilarious memoir about one irrepressible, mean, little, deaf queer

"This is not your mother's triumph-of-the-human-spirit memoir. Yes, Terry Galloway is resilient. But she's also caustic, depraved, utterly disinhibited, and somehow sweetly bubbly, a beguiling raconteuse who periodically leaps onto the dinner table and stabs you with her fork. Her story will fascinate, it will hurt, and you will like it."
—Alison Bechdel, author of FUN HOME
