Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing
The breakout investigative work on the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing featured on The Tucker Carlson Show, Newt’s World, Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec, The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer, ZeroHedge, Just the News, Judicial Watch’s On Watch, and Federalist Radio Hour, among others.
“This isn’t just history rhyming. This is history repeating itself.” — Senator Ron Johnson
“Astonishing story…deserves to be a bestseller.” — Newt Gingrich
“It lays out piece by piece a staggering case.” — Jack Posobiec
“A great book.” — Tucker Carlson
Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America’s Heartland, killing 168 people, including 15 children in their daycare center.
Thirty years later, it still stands as America’s deadliest domestic terror attack.
History says the Oklahoma City bombing was a lone-wolf terror by Timothy McVeigh, a twenty-six-year-old Gulf War Army veteran.
Yet the FBI never captured the second suspect who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon the Bureau canceled its global manhunt for “John Doe 2,” claiming twenty-four eyewitnesses who saw him with McVeigh were mistaken.
None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. As former news director of America’s Most Wanted, she worked high-profile manhunts alongside the FBI. How could so many witnesses be wrong?
Blowback chronicles Roberts’s investigation into a baffling prison murder mystery wrapped inside the Oklahoma City bombing case. In pursuit of answers, she conducts journalism’s only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh co-conspirator Terry Nichols.
Contrary to the official story of lone-wolf terror, Roberts uncovers evidence of a sprawling neo-Nazi plot behind the bombing in which the FBI played a hidden role. Then, while covering its tracks, the FBI allowed terror suspects to walk free, denied the bombing victims justice, and hid the truth from all of us.
After an FBI whistleblower steps forward, Roberts puts the puzzle together, though one burning mystery remains: The FBI has kept surveillance videotape of McVeigh’s accomplice locked away all these years. Is John Doe 2 the FBl’s guilty secret? -
When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power and Everyday Life
**Selected by Bill Gates as One of Five Books to Read This Winter**
From one of the world’s most celebrated intellectuals, a brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other’s thoughts about each other’s thoughts, ad infinitum. It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness, which we experience as something that is public or “out there,” is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives.
Common knowledge is necessary for coordination, for making arbitrary but complementary choices like driving on the right, using paper currency, and coalescing behind a political leader or movement. It’s also necessary for social coordination: everything from rendezvousing at a time and place to speaking the same language to forming enduring relationships of friendship, romance, or authority. Humans have a sixth sense for common knowledge, and we create it with signals like laughter, tears, blushing, eye contact, and blunt speech.
But people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge—to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can’t know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room.
Pinker shows how the hidden logic of common knowledge can make sense of many of life’s enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that come out of nowhere, the posturing and pretense of diplomacy, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture, the awkwardness of a first date. Artists and humorists have long mined the intrigues of common knowledge, and Pinker liberally uses their novels, jokes, cartoons, films, and sitcom dialogues to illuminate social life’s tragedies and comedies. Along the way he answers questions like:
- Why do people hoard toilet paper at the first sign of an emergency?
- Why are Super Bowl ads filled with ads for crypto?
- Why, in American presidential primary voting, do citizens typically select the candidate they believe is preferred by others rather than their favorite?
- Why did Russian authorities arrest a protester who carried a blank sign?
- Why is it so hard for nervous lovers to say goodbye at the end of a phone call?
- Why does everyone agree that if we were completely honest all the time, life would be unbearable?
Consistently riveting in explaining the paradoxes of human behavior, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows… invites us to understand the ways we try to get into each other’s heads and the harmonies, hypocrisies, and outrages that result. -

- "I say this gently: This is why the aliens won't talk to us."
- "If you trust government, you obviously failed history class."
- "I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots."
- "Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you."
- "I'm not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., won't clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek."
- "I have the right to remain silent but not the ability."
- "Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know. I've seen it firsthand."

Still Me: A Neuroscientist's Guide To Caring For Someone With Dementia
AN IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER
'What everybody needs to read... a deep and powerful understanding of what the person who has dementia is going through' - Davina McCall
'A beautifully written, personal, empathetic and immensely practical book' – Dr Harry Barry, GP, author and mental health advocate
The essential toolkit to navigating dementia, supporting loved ones and caring for yourself
Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis.
Still Me reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey.
Top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia. With a human-rights approach that validates everyone's experience and dignity, she offers:
– A self-care plan for care partners to cope with demands and optimise the caregiving experience
– Practical advice on how to manage challenging symptoms, stimulate cognitive function and encourage a brain-healthy lifestyle
– Evidence-based therapies to improve both you and your relative's quality of life.
Dementia can steal many things, but it doesn't have to take away the simple pleasures of life. Shifting the focus from the disease to the person, Still Me reminds you that your relative is still there and that you, as a care partner, are just as important. -
The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald
For three decades following World War II, the Great Lakes overtook Europe as the epicenter of global economic strength. The region was the beating heart of the world economy, possessing all the power and prestige Silicon Valley does today. And no ship represented the apex of the American Century better than the 729-foot-long Edmund Fitzgerald--the biggest, best, and most profitable ship on the Lakes.
But on November 10, 1975, as the "storm of the century" threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all 29 men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century.
In The Gales of November, award-winning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disaster, drawing on more than 100 interviews with the families, friends, and former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America's economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking's most likely causes, and the heartbreaking aftermath for those left behind--"the wives, the sons, and the daughters," as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ballad.
Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy, The Gales of November is both an emotional tribute to the lives lost and a propulsive, page-turning narrative history of America's most-mourned maritime disaster.

Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst
Instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
By the #1 bestselling history author in the world, Bill O'Reilly: A dramatic confrontation with good, evil, and the worst people who ever lived
The concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.
Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.
By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.
Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” -
Sisters in Death: The Black Dahlia, the Prairie Heiress and their Hunter
Instant USA Today Bestseller
Who killed the Black Dahlia? In this eye-opening shocker, an award-winning producer, true-crime researcher, and Hollywood insider finally solves the greatest - and most gruesome - murder mystery of the twentieth century just before its 80th anniversary.
In January 1947, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short, completely drained of blood, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity, city-wide panic, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD—all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years.
Six years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away, another woman’s life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious, educated, popular, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm, she was heiress to her Kansas City family’s status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941, Leila’s butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma.
One victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets.
Eli Frankel reveals for the first time a key fact about the Black Dahlia crime scene, never before shared with the public, that leads inexorably to the stunning identification of a criminal who was at the same time amateurish and fiendish, skilled and lucky, sophisticated and brutish. Drawing on newly discovered documents, law enforcement files, interviews with the last surviving participants, the victims’ own letters, trial transcripts, military records, and more, this epic true-crime saga puts together the missing pieces of a legendary puzzle.
In Sisters in Death, the Black Dahlia cold case is finally closed. -

Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Elmore Leonard meets Robert Ludlum in a rollicking comedic thriller set in 1985 from acclaimed author Ace Atkins, in which a suburban teen suspects his mom's new boyfriend is the ultimate bad guy--a KGB agent.
It's 1985, what will soon become known as "The Year of the Spy," and fourteen-year-old Peter Bennett is convinced his mom's new boyfriend is a Russian agent. "Gary" isn't in the phone book, has an unidentifiable European accent, and keeps a gun in the glove box of his convertible Porsche. Peter thinks Gary only wants to get close to his mom because she works at Scientific Atlanta, a lab with big government contracts. But who is going to believe him? He's just a kid into BMX and MTV.
But after another woman who works at the lab is killed, Peter recruits an unlikely pair of allies--a has-been pulp writer and muckraker named Dennis Hotchner and his drag performer buddy and heavy, Jackie Demure. Both soon become the target of an unhinged Russian hitman (Is it Gary? Maybe!) with a serious Phil Collins obsession.
Meanwhile, Sylvia Weaver, a young, Black FBI agent, investigates Scientific Atlanta in the wake of the employee's murder and discovers a nest of Russian spies in the Southern "city too busy to hate." Little does she know her investigation is being thwarted by a seriously compromised colleague in Washington, D.C., who is in league with a lovesick, hypochondriac KGB defector who is playing both sides of the Cold War to his benefit.
As Ronald Reagan and Soviet general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev prepare for a historic nuclear summit in Geneva, what happens in Atlanta might change the course of the Cold War, the twentieth century, and Peter Bennett's freshman year of high school.
