Narrative Non-Fiction

Like it or not, the rascals and rogues of this world are generally more interesting characters than the good guys, with names and escapades better remembered than those of the heroes. In this volume, you will find a remarkable array of men and women who have left their mark on history. Featured stories include the politician who faked his own death to leave behind vast debts, the clerk who 'invested' £32 million of his bank's money, and the train robber who became a legend in his own lifetime.

Acclaimed historian Michael Burleigh examines assassination as a special category of political violence and asks whether, like a contagious disease, it can be catching. Focusing chiefly on the last century and a half, Burleigh takes readers from Europe, Russia, Israel and the United States to the Congo, India, Iran, Laos, Rwanda, South Africa and Vietnam. And, as we travel, we revisit notable assassinations, among them Leon Trotsky, Hendrik Verwoerd, Juvénal Habyarimana, Indira Gandhi, Yitzhak Rabin and Jamal Khashoggi.

In Rogue States, renowned political analyst Noam Chomsky offers a blistering critique of American foreign policy and the hypocrisy of the "rogue state" label. By holding the United States accountable to the international laws it claims to uphold, Chomsky exposes a pattern of military dominance and economic imperialism across regions like the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Through detailed analyses of interventions in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor, and Colombia, he reveals how the U.S. frequently undermines the United Nations and human rights declarations, ultimately arguing that the nation has evolved into the very "rogue state" it purports to condemn.
