The 1950s classic that rewrote the myth of the American West and inspired its subsequent chroniclers from Sam Peckinpah to Marlon Brando to Cormac McCarthy.Hendry Jones isnt quite Billy the Kid, but hes the Kid all the same, and like Billys his story doesnt take long to tell. Hell do a fair amount of killing, be done in by an old friend, then get turned into a myth before his body is cold. Years later, one of the Kids last living partners in crime, Doc Bakerold and less than sobertries to set the record straight: who killed who and why, and how none of that old craziness is worth swooning over or rehashing. Except that Doc is a bit of a poet despite himself, and in drawing together what he knows and remembers about the Kids last days, he winds up saying just about everything that needs to be said about the American West, about kids playing with guns, about boys playing at being men out on the frontier, where they thought no one was watching.As Will Oldhamwhose moniker as a musician, Bonnie Prince Billy, was partly inspired by Billy the Kidnotes in his introduction, Hendry Jones served as fodder for a field of artists grappling with masculinity and violence in the West: Marlon Brandos One-Eyed Jacks, Sam Peckinpahs Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and Cormac McCarthys Blood Meridian are all impossible to imagine without Neiders Kid having first blazed the trail. A concise and brutal modern masterpiece, The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones is one of the few Western novels worthy of the name. Autorid: Charles Neider, Will Oldham

The gripping courtroom drama of a Brooklyn-born Englishman who became the voice of Nazi Germany, by "one of the most brilliant and erudite journalists of the century" (The New York Times).In 1945, The New Yorker commissioned star reporter Rebecca West to cover the London trial of William Joyce, who stood accused by the British government of aiding the Third Reich. Captured by British forces in Germany, Joyce was alleged to have hosted a radio program, Germany Calling, devoted to Nazi propaganda and calls for a British surrender.The legal case against Joyce (known as "Lord Haw-Haw" for his supposedly posh accent) proved to be tenuous and full of uncertainties. Yet each new piece of evidence added to West's timeless portrait of a social reject who turned to the far right, who rose through the ranks without ever being liked, and who sought validation through a set of shared hatreds-of elites, of communists, and especially of Jews.As a work of psychological suspense, Rebecca West's Radio Treason anticipates Truman Capote, Janet Malcolm, and Joan Didion at their best. As a study in political extremism, as Katie Roiphe writes in her foreword, "It is as if Lord Haw-Haw has been transported from her time into ours."

Historical trauma is a relatively new yet crucial area of study within psychology, history, and related disciplines. This book introduces the concept of historical trauma by providing a comprehensive overview of the latest vocabulary, seminal psychological concepts, and quantitative research in the field. By drawing together cross-disciplinary threads and examining eight global contexts of historical trauma, the author highlights a wide-ranging and rigorous body of research that further adds to our clinical understanding of the possible long-term effects of collective trauma. The chapters also explore remedies against the historical effects of trauma, which tend to go far beyond psycho-therapeutic interventions, especially when they are dedicated to the culture of remembrance or empowerment for disadvantaged young people. By revealing a wealth of new ideas that point to a pivotal moment in the evolution of social sciences, this volume can help transform the way psychologists serve victimized communities around the world.
Jody had been born a warrior. Entrusted to protect his family at all costs, he fought hard and played even harder. He followed the rules Silas had set over the family in order to protect their gifts, but Jody didn't consider it breaking the rules to have a little fun when he was away from the mountain. Didn't every warrior deserve a break when there was no war to fight? He might have been born knowing there was a soulmate in his future, but until then, he owed no allegiance to a woman he hadn't even met.Rationalizing his past where women were concerned, Jody discovered how wrong he was when his soulmate showed up, thinking he was no knight in shining armor.Sophie could spot a player a mile off, and Jody was a player. He might pretend to be just a good ole boy, but from the brokenhearted women panting after him whenever he came down from his mountain, she wasn't buying the malarky he was trying to sell her.If Jody really thought he could convince her that they were soulmates, then he must be drinking too much moonshine. She was just trying to survive, and the spotlight he'd put on her was going to lead her enemies right to her door. What she needed was a fighter, not a lover. And, while she might be attracted to Jody, he certainly was not the hero.
