__________________***NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES***A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling thriller author John Grisham.In the baseball draft of 1971, Ron Williamson was the first player chosen from Oklahoma. Signing with Oakland, he said goodbye to his small home town and left for California to pursue his dreams of glory.Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa.In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress, Debra Sue Carter, was raped and murdered, and for five years the crime went unsolved. Finally, desperate for someone to blame, police came to suspect Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with murder.With no physical evidence, the prosecution s case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence.Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row.But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against him. Ron Williamson was wrongly condemned to die. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.__________________In 2018, THE INNOCENT MAN was adapted by Netflix into a gripping six-part true crime series.__________________â ˜A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos â “ Irish Independent John Grisham is the master of legal fiction â “ Jodi Picoult The best thriller writer alive â “ Ken Follettâ ˜John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillersâ ™ â “ Telegraphâ ˜Grisham is a superb, instinctive storytellerâ ™ â “ The Timesâ ˜Grisham s storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own.â ™ â “ Daily Recordâ ˜Masterful â “ when Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they re not just alive, they re pulsatingâ ™ â “ Mirrorâ ˜A giant of the thriller genreâ ™ â “ TimeOut

In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration.

A renowned scholar argues that liberal hegemony⠔the policy America has pursued since the Cold War ended⠔is doomed to failNamed a Financial Times Best Book of 2018⠜Idealists as well as realists need to read this systematic tour de force.⠝⠔Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo⠙s World It is widely believed in the West that the United States should spread liberal democracy across the world, foster an open international economy, and build international institutions. The policy of remaking the world in America⠙s image is supposed to protect human rights, promote peace, and make the world safe for democracy. But this is not what has happened. Instead, the United States has become a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home. In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony⠔the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended⠔is doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad. The Great Delusion is a lucid and compelling work of the first importance for scholars, policymakers, and everyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.

* TOLKIEN * Now a major motion pictureAcclaimed as ⠘the best book about Tolkien⠙, this award-winning biography explores J.R.R. Tolkien⠙s wartime experiences and their impact on his life and his writing of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.⠜To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than in 1939 ⠦ by 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.⠝So J.R.R. Tolkien responded to critics who saw The Lord of the Rings as a reaction to the Second World War. Tolkien and the Great War tells for the first time the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-earth in his youth as the world around him was plunged into catastrophe. This biography reveals the horror and heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme and introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology to life. It shows how, after two of these brilliant young men were killed, Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good and evil.John Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-earth⠙s enduring power. Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect and transform the cataclysm of his generation. While his contemporaries surrendered to disillusionment, he kept enchantment alive, reshaping an entire literary tradition into a form that resonates to this day.This is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since 1977, meticulously researched and distilled from his personal wartime papers and a multitude of other sources.
