Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year 2015Sometimes you love a football team not only for their strengths, the splendour of their play and the appealing thrust of their character, but also the haunting possibility that their best hopes may never be fulfilled. This has rarely been demonstrated so vividly as by the Manchester City team who briefly, but unforgettably, illuminated the late sixties. And no one was more caught up in their struggles and their triumphs than James Lawton, a young sportswriter starting out on a career that would take him to all the great events of world sport. Yet still, 50 years after Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison began to shape the brilliant team, he counts watching their rise to glory as one of the most exciting times of his professional life.Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee - these players loomed large over the game as they charged at the peaks of English football, and today evoke a period of the sport's history that seems distant and unknowable, hard to see except through the rose-tinted gloss of nostalgia.Lawton goes back to those heroes, interviewing all the main players and characters who are still alive, and vividly brings to life the story of that City team which with such wonderful panache, and freedom, won the first division title, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup between 1967 and 1970.This, though, is not just the story of one team, but a broader one of how sport can sometimes so perfectly mirror the exaltation and the despair of the real world, how it carries those who do it, and sometimes even those who merely see it, to moments that will claim a permanent place in their hearts.

Nonviolent: My Life of Resistance, Agitation, and Love

Nonviolent: My Life of Resistance, Agitation, and Love

James Lawson; Emily Yellin

The gripping firsthand account of the courage it takes to change a nation, from the Rev. James Lawson Jr--peer of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mentor to Congressman John Lewis and the Freedom Riders, and lifelong proponent of nonviolence as a powerful system for social transformation. Throughout his rich life, Rev. Lawson worked to dismantle racial, social, and economic injustice. Dr. King called Rev. Lawson, "the leading strategist and theorist of nonviolence in the world." This vital, first-person account portrays Rev. Lawson engaged in galvanizing and often harrowing campaigns of nonviolent direct action--a radical, disciplined, far-reaching method of redemptive revolution centered in love and moral clarity. Rev. Lawson's story spans his more than nine decades, as well as his abolitionist heritage. He served prison time during college for resisting the Korean War draft and then traveled to India and Africa, where he immersed himself in Gandhi's philosophy and tactics and met with emerging African independence leaders. In 1957, Dr. King urged Lawson to "come South now," and a historic solidarity was born. Rev. Lawson was vital to desegregating downtown Nashville in the early 1960s. He trained the Little Rock Nine, the Mississippi Freedom Summer volunteers, and countless other civil rights foot soldiers. He co-led the 1963 Birmingham campaign, the 1966 Meredith March Against Fear, and the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike. Throughout his life he stood up to two particularly pervasive forms of violence in the United States: police brutality and what he called plantation capitalism. After moving to Los Angeles in the 1970s, he continued the quest for economic and racial equity, and for women's and LGBTQ+ rights. Well into the twenty-first century, he helped foster a more inclusive labor movement and an enduring immigrant rights movement. Rev. Lawson practiced what he preached, always recognizing and respecting the inherent dignity of every human being--even those who opposed him. Nonviolent is at once a riveting historical narrative from an architect of one of the most influential and inspiring global liberation movements, and an ode to what it means to compel a nation to live up to its founding ideals of liberty and justice for all.

The Copley Chronicles

The Copley Chronicles

The universe of The Copley Chronicles is as rich and varied as any 19th Century magnum opus but with a sensibility unheard of in the literature of that period. From the mysterious immigrant, Olga, who lands in the household of the wealthy New Yorker, Benjamin Copley, a saga begins that takes the Copleys through forty years of love and death, betrayal and redemption, domestic joys and sexual depravities, suicide and revenge, incest and resurrection. A domestic drama of epic proportions, The Copley Chronicles is a landmark in the exploration of the perversities of coming-of-age.
