From Kevin Maurer-the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning coauthor of No Easy Day-comes the true story of a World War II bomber pilot who survived twenty-five missions in Damn Lucky, "an epic, thrillingly written, utterly immersive account of a very lucky, incredible survivor of the war in the skies to defeat Hitler" (New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw)."We were young citizen-soldiers, terribly naive and gullible about what we would be confronted with in the air war over Europe and the profound effect it would have upon every fiber of our being for the rest of our lives. We were all afraid, but it was beyond our power to quit. We volunteered for the service and, once trained and overseas, felt we had no choice but to fulfill the mission assigned. My hope is that this book honors the men with whom I served by telling the truth about what it took to climb into the cold blue and fight for our lives over and over again."-John "Lucky" Luckadoo, Major, USAF (Ret.) 100th Bomb Group (H)Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was a world away from John Luckadoo's hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. But when the Japanese attacked the American naval base on December 7, 1941, he didn't hesitate to join the military. Trained as a pilot with the United States Air Force, Second Lieutenant Luckadoo was assigned to the 100th Bomb Group stationed in Thorpe Abbotts, England. Between June and October 1943, he flew B-17 Flying Fortresses over France and Germany on bombing runs devised to destroy the Nazi war machine.With a shrapnel torn Bible in his flight jacket pocket and his girlfriend's silk stocking around his neck like a scarf as talismans, Luckadoo piloted through Luftwaffe machine-gun fire and antiaircraft flak while enduring subzero temperatures to complete twenty-five missions and his combat service. The average bomber crew rarely survived after eight to twelve missions. Knowing far too many airmen who wouldn't be returning home, Luckadoo closed off his emotions and focused on his tasks to finish his tour of duty one moment at a time, realizing his success was more about being lucky than being skilled.Drawn from Luckadoo's firsthand accounts, acclaimed war correspondent Kevin Maurer shares his extraordinary tale from war to peacetime, uncovering astonishing feats of bravery during the bloodiest military campaign in aviation history, and presenting an incredible portrait of a young man's coming-of-age during the world's most devastating war.

This kaleidoscopic exhibition catalog celebrates Lichtenstein's multifaceted career-from his iconic achievements in the Pop Art movement and beyond. Published to mark the centennial of Lichtenstein's birth, this retrospective volume is brimming with brilliant reproductions that highlight the entirety of the artist's oeuvre. It features the acclaimed works that helped establish 1960s pop art-panels inspired by comic strips and advertising, which send up societal stereotypes. It looks at his pioneering use of painted benday dots and carefully drawn and in-filled brushstrokes, his interiors and landscapes, re-stagings of still lifes, his expansion into sculpture and ceramics, and works that pay homage to famous artists such as Picasso, Monet, and Van Gogh. Throughout this magnificent catalog readers will come to appreciate not only Lichtenstein's vibrant and dynamic use of color, line, and texture, but also how his continuing confrontation with the visual language of popular culture and consumerism continues to resonate today.

Kærlighed er ikke et spørgsmål om tid – men om timing.Clementine West er mildest talt ikke begejstret, da hun finder en fremmed i sit køkken. Beskeden, han har fra hendes afdøde moster, både formilder og forvirrer hende, men én ting er sikkert: Der er ikke plads til en mand i hendes liv – eller lejlighed. Heller ikke selvom han har en charmerende sydstatsdialekt, et sødt smil og en svaghed for citrontærter.Og så er der en lille detalje: Han lever i fortiden. Syv år tilbage, for at være helt præcis. Det burde jo være umuligt, men Clementines moster har altid sagt, at lejligheden er magisk. En tidslomme, hvor øjeblikke flyder sammen ligesom akvarelfarver. Og før Clementine ved af det, er hun i fuld gang med at bryde den ufravigelige regel, hun har arvet fra sin moster: Bliv aldrig forelsket.Tiden mellem os er en hjertevarm og underfundig roman om, hvordan kærlighed kan trumfe både tid og rum. Sagt om Tiden mellem os:„En bevægende, magisk og moderne romance ... en følelsesmæssig fryd.“Publishers Weekly „En smuk kærlighedshistorie fra en af vor tids mest fremragende romanceforfattere.“Carley Fortune „Varm, sjov og hjerteskærende håbefuld. Tiden mellem os er et knusende portræt af sorg og en kærlig ode til, hvad det vil sige at udvikle sig og blomstre.“Sangu Mandanna „Ashley Poston har endnu en gang skabt en skæv verden, der er romantisk og uimodståelig.“Emma Straub „Tiden mellem os er romantisk og lidt filosofisk, men også stærkt underholdende og fyldt med varme New Yorker-vibes.“Lektørudtalelse

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2024**From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of Ghost Wars, the inside story of America's long and ruinous relationship with Saddam HusseinThe Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein.Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of many more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even when the stakes were incredibly high.Using unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change our political landscape.

Terrorgruppen Skyggen har i sinde at dræbe USA’s præsident, når han kommer til Rebild den 4. juli for at annoncere, hvad USA vil gøre ved iranernes hemmelige atombombeprogram. Det er imidlertid usikkert, om besøget på nationaldagen overhovedet bliver til noget, for inden da må USA skaffe beviser for, at iranerne rent faktisk har brudt atomaftalen.Da den danske bombeinspektør Adam opdager et brudt segl på sit overvågningskamera og senere finder sin kollega myrdet i Iran, tyder det unægteligt på, at landet ikke har rent mel i posen, men snart er Adam spundet ind i et net af bedrag og løgne, der rækker langt ud over Irans landegrænser. Han har fået at vide, at han skal holde sine kort tæt på kroppen, for hvem kan han egentlig stole på som brik i et storpolitisk spil? Forfatteren Steffen Groth er tidligere leder af IAEA og professor i nuklearmedicin. Han bruger sin indgående viden til at skrive intense spændingsromaner med komplekse politiske plots og hans bøger er tidligere blevet sammenlignet med Dan Browns.
