HENRY HOLT
Anthony Bailey November 2011
VELÁZQUEZ: SURRENDERING AT BREDA Nonfiction
Editor: Jack Macrae
Anthony Bailey vividly resurrects the life of one of the world’s greatest painters. He uses as a touchstone Velázquez’s
brilliant narrative painting The Surrender at Breda, which was based on one of Spain’s few victories in its eighty-year
war with the Netherlands. Ironically, the conflict brought the tottering Madrid Hapsburgs to their knees, writing finis to
Spain’s legendary golden age.
Velázquez is one of those rare world-class artists whose life has to be sniffed out by suggestion and association. His
professional career as courtier and painter is fairly well-documented, but letters and diaries about how he felt and
thought and lived are non existent. Bailey demonstrates an astounding ability to put himself in the artist’s shoes,
coaxing from the paintings stories that flesh out a portrait of Velázquez unknown until now.
A less sedate afterlife than the Breda painting is that of Venus with a Mirror: Velázquez was in Rome at the time, an
artist-husband at some distance, painting a sensuous nude portrait of a model who might have been the mother of
Velázquez’s natural son Antonio. A work of density and doubt, “softness is evoked by brush-work that allows us to
almost feel her flesh.” The haze of mystery was almost a fourth dimension with Velázquez.
Anthony Bailey, a writer for The New Yorker for a quarter century, has been called "one of the best descriptive
writers of his generation" (John Russell, the New York Times). His twenty-one books include the novel Major Andre,
two acclaimed memoirs, two books on Rembrandt, and most recently, Vermeer.

Tony Horwitz September 2011
MIDNIGHT RISING: Nonfiction
John Brown, Harpers Ferry, and the Raid that Sparked the Civil War Editor: John Sterling
Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, John Brown’s daring assault on Harper’s Ferry in October 1859 marked the
beginning of the country’s descent toward civil war. Now, for the first time, the full story of the planning, execution and
aftermath of that legendary raid is told in riveting detail.
Brown, a messianic white abolitionist, believed his raid would ignite a revolt that would at last end slavery in America.
But only eighteen hours after he and his men—including three of his sons—captured the armory, Robert E. Lee led a
group of Marines in a counterattack and killed most of the principals. Brown survived, and though he was hanged two
months later, his defiant oratory lived on, persuading many in the nation that war was the only path to freedom. Two
years after he took office, in fact, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and called it “a John Brown
raid, on a gigantic scale.”
John Brown’s raid shocked antebellum Americans and completely altered their world-view. Tony Horwitz’s brilliant
book is both a taut historical drama and a revealing portrait of America at a pivotal point in its history.
Tony Horwitz is the bestselling author of Confederates in the Attic, A Voyage Long and Strange and other books. He
is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has worked for The Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker. He lives
in Martha’s Vineyard with his wife, Geraldine Brooks, and their two sons.

Evan Hughes August 2011
LITERARY BROOKLYN: Nonfiction
The Story of an American Place Editor: Sarah Bowlin
Like Paris in the twenties or postwar Greenwich Village, Brooklyn today is experiencing an alchemical cultural boom
that has made it the country’s creative capital. But as literary critic and journalist Evan Hughes reveals, the rich
literary life that has taken root in Brooklyn is a part of larger, fascinating history. This is the first book not only to
explore Brooklyn’s contemporary literary scene, but to show through the eyes of its writers the evolution of the
famous New York borough—a place that through a unique blend of politics, history, and culture has left an indelible
imprint on American letters. Covering everyone from Walt Whitman, Brooklyn’s first laureate, through the greats of
the twentieth century, such as Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, Thomas Wolfe, Richard Wright, and Truman Capote, to
today’s famous writers—Jonathan Lethem, Paul Auster, Colson Whitehead and more—this book provides an
understanding of both a deep literary tradition and the urban historical narrative that runs through it. A journey not just
through the borough’s epicenter and its forgotten alleyways but through the minds of its greatest writers, LITERARY
BROOKLYN gives a dynamic, prismatic look into a place as diverse and intriguing as the people who walk its streets
and write its stories.
Evan Hughes has written articles about literature for such publications as The New York Review of Books, The New
York Times, the Boston Globe, n + 1, and the London Review of Books. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Bill O’Reilly October 2011
KILLING LINCOLN Nonfiction
Editor: Gillian Blake
Bestselling author Bill O’Reilly recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot
changed the country forever. In the Spring of 1865, America’s Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of
some of its bloodiest battles. President Abraham Lincoln’s generous terms for Robert E. Lee’s surrender are devised
to fulfill Lincoln’s dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into
American society. One man and his band of murderous accomplices, however, are not appeased.
In the midst of the patriotic celebration in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth—charismatic ladies’ man and
impenitent racist—assassinates Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theater. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth
immediately becomes the country’s most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a brilliant New York detective and
former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The
thrilling chase would end in a fiery shootout and a series of executions—including that of the first woman ever
executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. With an unforgettable cast of characters, vivid historical detail, and
page-turning action, KILLING LINCOLN is history that reads like a thriller.
Bill O’Reilly is the host of The O’Reilly Factor, the highly-rated and long-running cable news show. He has a
syndicated newspaper column and is the author of several bestselling books. His loyal following has propelled him to
number 1 on the New York Times bestseller list as well as in the TV ratings.
Martin Dugard is the New York Times-bestselling author of several books of history. His book Into Africa: The Epic
Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone has been adapted into a History Channel special. He lives in Southern
California with his wife and three sons.

Charles J. Shields November 2011
AND SO IT GOES: Nonfiction
Kurt Vonnegut: A Life Editor: Aaron Schlechter
In 2006, Charles Shields reached out to Kurt Vonnegut in a letter, asking for his endorsement for a planned
biography. The first response was no (“A most respectful demurring by me for the excellent writer Charles J. Shields,
who offered to be my biographer.”). Unwilling to take “no” for an answer, propelled by a passion for his subject, and
already deep into his research, Shields wrote again and this time, to his delight, the answer came back: “OK”.
After five years of research and writing comes the first-ever biography of the life of Kurt Vonnegut. From World War II
through Vietnam, the 60’s movement and through to the millennium, Vonnegut resonates with readers of all
generations: the baby boomers who grew up with him, the science fiction readers who place Cat’s Cradle and Player
Piano on their “favorite books lists”, college students who are discovering his work for the first time, and so on.
Vonnegut’s concise collection of personal essays, Man Without a Country, published in 2006, spent 15 weeks on the
New York Times bestseller list and has sold over 300,000 copies to date. The 21st century has seen resurgence in
interest and scholarship about Vonnegut’s works, and this is the first book to examine in full the life of one of the most
influential iconoclasts of his time.
Charles J. Shields grew up in the Midwest and taught in a rural school in central Illinois for several years. He has
been a reporter for public radio, a journalist and the author of non-fiction books for young people, as well as the
highly acclaimed bestseller, Mockingbird, about the life of Harper Lee. He and his wife live near Charlottesville,
Virginia.

Daniel Blake Smith November 2011
AN AMERICAN BETRAYAL: Nonfiction
Cherokee Patriots and the Trail of Tears Editor: Jack Macrae
The Cherokee nation was the exemplar of progress and cooperation with the dominant white culture. Before
President Andrew Jackson robbed the Southern tribe of its sacred ancestral lands and moved America’s second
largest Indian tribe west to the wilds of Oklahoma, Cherokees had risen to civilization high-water mark in the New
World. Proud possessors of a written language, the nation circulated a highly-read newspaper, The Cherokee
Phoenix, and by 1827 the tribe had ratified a constitution—modeled on the U.S. version.
The adaptability and resilience of the tribe was tested as never before in the wrenching experience of removal known
as the Trail of Tears.
Based on original scholarship and employing a vivid writing style, Daniel Blake Smith, award-winning historian,
provides a devastating picture of the effects of greed and power visited on a respected Indian culture. The book
offers an eye-opening view of the racialized world of Jacksonian America. Arguments for and against removal, as
one Cherokee expressed it, could continue in heaven forever, but on earth, in America, it was a white man’s world.
Daniel Blake Smith is the author of The Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown, Inside the Great House: Planter Family
Life in 18th Century Chesapeake Society, and many articles on early American history. He is a professor of colonial
American history at the University of Kentucky.

IAGO: Fiction
A Novel Editor: Marjorie Braman
In 1523, Cyprus is in trouble. A governor, appointed to provide stability by the island's Venetian masters, has
managed to repel the Ottomans, a constant threat to peace, but has failed to quell domestic disturbances. Two
brothers—one a famed soldier, the other sent to replace the current governor—arrive in Cyprus. They discover
there's been a tragic event. The Governor, known as the Moor, and his young wife Desdemona, have been slain. The
apparent killer, who's not spoken a word since his arrest, is imprisoned in an inescapable mountain fortress. The
brothers make their arduous way up the mountain and find... an empty cell. The hunt for Iago, reputedly a cunning
and sinister mass murderer, is on. It takes us back to Venice and eventually across a war-torn northern Italy. A wily
Venetian inquisitor resolves to unearth the true nature of Iago's crimes and motives, but by unusual means. He
enlists the help of a timorous scholarly boy...
Exuberantly inventive and enormously entertaining, IAGO marks the emergence of an exceptionally talented new
voice in historical fiction.
David Snodin began his career as a script editor at the BBC, overseeing its mammoth season of Shakespeare's
plays, among other things, and is now an award-winning producer whose productions include Jane Austen's
Persuasion, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. He lives in London
and Crete. IAGO is his first novel.

SCHOOL MATTERS: Nonfiction
How Smart Parents Get Their Kids the Education They Deserve Editor: Gillian Blake
We all know that the quality of education served up to our children in U.S. schools ranges from outstanding to
shockingly inadequate. How can parents tell the difference? And how do they make sure their kids get what's best?
Even the most involved and informed parents can feel overwhelmed and confused when making important decisions
about their child’s education. And the scary truth is that evaluating a school based on test scores and college
admissions data is like selecting a car based on the color of its paint. Synthesizing cutting edge research and firsthand
reporting, Peg Tyre offers parents far smarter and more sophisticated ways to assess a classroom and decide if
the school and the teacher have the right stuff. Passionate and persuasive, SCHOOL MATTERS empowers parents
to make sense of headlines, constructively engage teachers, administrators and school boards, and, if necessary,
figure out a better alternative--charter, home-schooling, parochial or private.
Peg Tyre is the author of the New York Times Bestseller, The Trouble with Boys. She was awarded the prestigious
Spencer Research Fellowship at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism where she began work on this book.
Her writing about education has appeared in Newsweek, the New York Times, Family Circle, and iVillage.com. She
lives in Brooklyn.

METROPOLITAN BOOKS
Elisabeth Badinter November 2011
THE CONFLICT Nonfiction
Editor: Riva Hocherman
Elisabeth Badinter has for decades been in the vanguard of the European fight for women’s equality. Now, in an
explosive new book, she points her finger at a most unlikely force undermining the status of women: liberal
motherhood, in thrall to all that is “natural.” Attachment parenting, co-sleeping, natural childbirth, homemade baby
food, baby-wearing, stay-at-home mothers, and especially breastfeeding —these hallmarks of contemporary
motherhood have succeeded in tethering women to the home and family to an extent not seen since the 1950s.
Badinter argues that the taboos now surrounding epidurals, formula, disposable diapers, cribs—and anything that
distracts a mother’s attention from her offspring— have turned childrearing into a singularly regressive force.
In sharp, engaging prose, Badinter names a reactionary shift that is intensely felt but has not been clearly articulated
until now, a shift that America has pioneered. She reserves special ire for the fanaticism of the La Leche League—an
offshoot of conservative Evangelicalism—showing how on-demand breastfeeding, with all its limitations, curtails
women’s choices. Moreover, the pressure to provide children with 24/7 availability, empathy, and wisdom has
produced a generation of overwhelmed and guilt-laden mothers—one cause of the West’s alarming declining
birthrate.
A bestseller in Europe, THE CONFLICT is a scathing indictment of a stealthy zealotry that cheats women of their full
potential.
Elisabeth Badinter is the acclaimed author of three seminal works on feminism: The Myth of Motherhood, Wrong
Turn, and Masculine Identity, which have been translated into fifteen languages. She teaches philosophy at the
prestigious Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, where she lives.

Emmanuel Carrère September 2011
LIVES OTHER THAN MY OWN Nonfiction
Editor: Riva Hocherman
In Sri Lanka, a tsunami sweeps a child out to sea, her grandfather helpless against the onrushing water. In France, a
young woman succumbs to illness, leaving her husband and small children bereft. Present at both events, Emmanuel
Carrère sets out to tell the story of two families—shattered and ultimately restored. What he accomplishes is nothing
short of a literary miracle: a heartrending narrative of endless love, a meditation on courage and decency in the face
of adversity, an intimate and reverent look at the extraordinary beauty and nobility of ordinary lives.
Precise, sober, and suspenseful, as full of twists and turns as any novel, LIVES OTHER THAN MY OWN confronts
terrifying catastrophes to illuminate the astonishing richness of human connection: a grandfather who thought he had
found paradise—too soon—and now devotes himself to helping his neighbors rebuild their village; a husband so in
love with his ailing wife that he carries her in his arms like a knight his princess; and finally, Carrère himself, long-time
chronicler of the tormented self, who by immersing himself in the lives of others unexpectedly finds consolation and
even joy.
Emmanuel Carrère, novelist, filmmaker, journalist, and biographer, is the award-winning internationally renowned
author of My Life as a Russian Novel, Class Trip, The Mustache, and The Adversary, a New York Times Notable
Book. Carrère lives in Paris.

Michael T. Klare September 2011
THE RACE FOR WHAT’S LEFT Nonfiction
Editor: Grigory Tovbis
The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of resource depletion—a crisis that goes beyond “peak oil” to encompass
shortages of coal and natural gas, copper and cobalt, water and arable land. With all of the Earth’s habitable areas
already in use, the desperate hunt for supplies has now reached the final frontiers, turning the quest for vital
resources into a frenzy of extreme exploration. From the Arctic to war zones to deep ocean floors, governments and
corporations are furiously competing to drill and dig in areas previously considered too dangerous and inaccessible.
As acclaimed resource analyst Michael Klare shows, this scouring of the globe for the last remaining natural reserves
carries grave consequences. With extraction growing more complex, the environmental risks are becoming ever
more significant. At the same time, the intense search for dwindling supplies is igniting new border disputes, while the
efforts of China and other developing nations to fence off food preserves in Africa raise serious concerns. Even
attempts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels are running into resource limits: uranium for nuclear power is also
becoming harder to find, as is lithium for electric car batteries. The only way out, Klare argues, will be to alter our
consumption patterns altogether—a crucial task that will be the greatest challenge of the coming century.
Michael T. Klare is the author of fourteen books, including Resource Wars and Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet. A
regular contributor to Harper’s, Foreign Affairs, and the Los Angeles Times, he is the defense analyst for The Nation
and the director of the Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College in Amherst.

Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett October 2011
GOING TO TEHRAN: Nonfiction
Iran and the Future of American Power Editor: Sara Bershtel
Less than a decade after Washington’s foreign policy elite endorsed a fraudulent case for invading Iraq, similarly
misinformed and politically motivated claims are pushing America toward war with Iran. Today the stakes are even
higher: war with Iran could break the back of America’s strained superpower status. Challenging the daily clamor of
US saber-rattling, Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett argue that America should renounce 30 years of failed policy and
come to terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran—just as Richard Nixon revolutionized US foreign policy by going to
Beijing and realigning relations with the People’s Republic of China.
Former analysts in both the Bush and Clinton administrations, the Leveretts offer a uniquely informed account of Iran
as it actually is today, not as many have caricatured it or wished it to be. They show that Iran’s political order is not on
the verge of collapse, that most Iranians still support the idea of an Islamic Republic, and that Iran’s regional
influence makes it critical to progress in the Middle East. Drawing on years of research and access to high-level
officials, they explain how Tehran sees the world and why its approach to foreign policy is hardly the irrational
behavior of a rogue nation.
A bold and pioneering call for engagement, the Leveretts’ indispensable work makes it clear that America must “go to
Tehran” if it is to avert strategic catastrophe.
Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett are two of America’s most renowned Middle East analysts—whose dissenting
views on Iranian affairs have consistently proven right. They served in senior positions at the National Security
Council and State Department, and currently teach international relations at Yale University. Flynt Leverett also
directs the New America Foundation’s Iran Initiative.

Peter Van Buren September 2011
WE MEANT WELL: Nonfiction
How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People Editor: Sara Bershtel
Charged with rebuilding Iraq, would you spend taxpayer money on a sports mural in Baghdad’s most dangerous
neighborhood, hoping to promote reconciliation through art? How about an isolated milk factory that has no way of
getting the milk to market? Or perhaps a pastry class preparing Iraqi women to open quaint cafés on bombed-out
streets without water or electricity? According to Peter Van Buren, we bought all these projects and more in the most
expensive hearts and minds campaign since the Marshall Plan. WE MEANT WELL is his eyewitness account of the
civilian side of the surge—that surreal and bollixed-up attempt to defeat terrorism and win Iraqis to our side by
reconstructing the very world we had just destroyed.
In this chronicle of a year in Iraq, Van Buren describes how he led a State Department Provincial Reconstruction
Team on a quixotic crusade to rebuild a society they knew next to nothing about. Darkly funny while deadly serious,
WE MEANT WELL is a vividly rendered tale of ineptitude and corruption, of cynicism and self-delusion, a tragicomic
voyage that leaves its writer—and readers—chastened, exasperated, disillusioned but wiser.
Peter Van Buren has been in the State Department for over 22 years, serving in places from Thailand to London.
He received several honors for his work in disaster relief. Unlike the conventional diplomat, Van Buren goes to very
few cocktail parties, does not own a tuxedo, and, until Iraq proved him wrong, thought of himself as working for the
benign side of empire. This is his first book.

TIMES BOOKS
Jill Abramson September 2011
THE PUPPY DIARIES Nonfiction
Editor: John Sterling
One sparkling summer day, Jill Abramson brought home a nine-week-old Golden Retriever named Scout. Over the
following year, as she and her husband raised their adorable new puppy, Abramson wrote a hugely popular column
for the New York Times’s website about the joys and challenges of training this rambunctious addition to their family.
Dog-lovers from across the country inundated her with emails and letters, and the photos they sent in of their own
dogs became the most visited photo album on the Times’s site in 2009.
Now Abramson has gone far beyond the material in her column and written a detailed and deeply personal account
of Scout’s first year. Part memoir, part manual, part investigative report, THE PUPPY DIARIES continues
Abramson’s intrepid reporting on all things canine. Along the way, she weighs in on such issues as breeders or
shelters, adoption or rescue, raw diet or vegan, pack-leader gurus like Cesar Millan or positive-reinforcement
advocates like the Monks of New Skete.
What should you expect when a new puppy enters your life? With utterly winning stories and a wealth of practical
information, THE PUPPY DIARIES provides an essential roadmap for navigating the first year of your dog’s life.
Jill Abramson, a bestselling and award-winning author, is the managing editor of the New York Times. A dog-lover
all her life, she has long been fascinated by the complex relationship between dogs and their owners. She, her
husband, and Scout live in New York City and Connecticut.

Michael Addis December 2011
INVISIBLE MEN: Nonfiction
The Inner Lives of Men and the Consequences of Silence Editor: Serena Jones
Drawing on scientific research, as well as his own personal and clinical experience, the award-winning research
psychologist Dr. Michael Addis describes in this book an epidemic of personal, relational, and societal problems that
are caused by the widespread invisibility of men’s vulnerability. From increasing rates of suicide among men to
alcohol abuse, violence, and school shootings, his research reveals the continued cost of staying silent when
emotional, physical, or spiritual pain enters men’s lives.
In the spirit of such bestsellers as William Pollack's Real Boys, Addis identifies the specific problems that result from
men’s silence and invisibility, what causes them, and how they can be changed. Addis provides readers with
compelling stories of the causes and consequences of silence and invisibility in real men’s lives. He then shows both
male and female readers how they can break through the barriers that appear to protect men, but in reality cause
severe harm to men, women, and families.
Michael Addis has published more than seventy articles and books on a variety of topics related to treatments for
depression and anxiety, the integration of science and clinical practice, and men’s mental health. He is a past
recipient of the American Psychological Association’s David Shakow Award for early career contributions to the
science and practice of clinical psychology, and the New Researcher Award from the Association for Behavioral and
Cognitive Therapies. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and past president of the Society for
the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity. Addis is a professor of psychology at Clark University in Worcester,
Massachusetts. He lives in central Massachusetts.

The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers Editor: Paul Golob
REVISED EDITION
Hailed upon its hardcover publication as a harrowing instant classic on 9/11, the critically acclaimed New York Times
bestseller 102 MINUTES is now available in a revised edition timed to honor the tenth anniversary of that terrible
morning.
At 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers just starting their workdays, but over
the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages. Of the millions of words written about this
wrenching day, most were told from the outside looking in. New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn
draw on hundreds of interviews with rescuers and survivors, thousands of pages of oral histories, and countless
phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts to tell the story of September 11 from the inside looking out. Dwyer
and Flynn have woven an epic and unforgettable account of the struggle, determination, and grace of the ordinary
men and women who made 102 minutes count as never before.
Jim Dwyer is the coauthor of Two Seconds Under the World and Actual Innocence, and the author of Subway Lives.
A Pulitzer Prize winner, he writes the About New York column for The New York Times. Kevin Flynn, a special

Jeanne Guillemin September 2011
AMERICAN ANTHRAX: Nonfiction
The Compromised Investigation of Our Nation’s Deadliest Bioterror Attack Editor: Serena Jones
In early October 2001—with America still reeling from the terror attacks of 9/11—virulent anthrax spores sent through
the mail killed a Florida photo editor at American Media. His death and, days later, the discovery in New York and
Washington of anonymous anthrax letters, sent shock waves through the nation. Federal agencies, especially the
U.S. Postal Service and the Centers for Disease Control, were blindsided by the attacks, which eventually killed five
people.
In AMERICAN ANTHRAX, noted bioterrorism expert Jeanne Guillemin reveals how the FBI struggled to solve the
case, pursuing many false leads while ignoring signposts that pointed in the right direction. She shows that even as
the criminal eluded justice, disinformation swirled around the anthrax letters, erroneously linking them to Iraq’s WMD
threat and foreign bioterrorism. At the same time, billions of dollars were lavished on biomedical defenses against
anthrax and other exotic diseases, without oversight or effectiveness. Worst of all, faith in federal justice faltered.
In July 2008, the FBI’s prime suspect, long-time US Army microbiologist Bruce Ivins, committed suicide. With his
death came frustration and hundreds of unanswered questions.
The seven-year-long investigation that led to the killer is a thrilling tale of terror, intrigue, madness, cover-up, and
government manipulation. Now, for the first time, ten years after the first spores were unleashed, Guillemin makes
sense of what really happened – and what went wrong – in this complex case.
Jeanne Guillemin is a professor of sociology at Boston College and senior fellow in the Security Studies Program at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the author of Biological Weapons: From the Invention of State-
Sponsored Programs to Contemporary Bioterrorism and Anthrax: The Investigation of a Deadly Outbreak. Guillemin

Eric Schmitt and Thom Shanker August 2011
COUNTERSTRIKE: Nonfiction
The Pentagon’s Secret Campaign Against Terrorism Editor: Paul Golob
In the first years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government waged a “war on terror” focused on trying to defeat Al
Qaeda and its affiliated groups through brute force. But it soon became clear that this strategy was not working, and
by 2005 the Pentagon began looking for a new way.
In COUNTERSTRIKE, Eric Schmitt and Thom Shanker of The New York Times tell the story of how a group of
analysts within the Pentagon, at spy agencies, and in law enforcement have devised and carried out an innovative
and effective new strategy to fight terrorism, unbeknownst to most Americans and in sharp contrast to the warmongering
and cowboy slogans that characterized the U.S. government’s public posture. Adapting themes from the
classic deterrence theory that worked so effectively during the Cold War, these strategists have expanded the field of
battle in order to disrupt jihadist networks in ever more creative ways.
Schmitt and Shanker also show how the new counterterrorism strategies were adopted by George W. Bush and
expanded under Barack Obama, and how both administrations shifted their tactics and priorities in response to
successes and setbacks in this continuing struggle. Filled with startling revelations about how our national security is
being managed, COUNTERSTRIKE will change the way Americans think about the ongoing struggle with radical
Islam.
Eric Schmitt is a terrorism correspondent for The New York Times, and has embedded with troops in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Somalia, and Pakistan. Schmitt has twice been a member of Times reporting teams that were awarded
the Pulitzer Prize. Thom Shanker, Pentagon correspondent for The New York Times, routinely spends time
embedded with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shanker was formerly a foreign editor and correspondent for the
Chicago Tribune, based in Moscow, Berlin, and Sarajevo.

Nathan D. Wolfe October 2011
THE VIRAL STORM: Nonfiction
The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age Editor: Serena Jones
In THE VIRAL STORM, award-winning biologist Nathan D. Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have
evolved side-by-side through history, how deadly viruses like HIV, Ebola, swine flu, bird flu almost wiped us out in the past,
and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic.
Wolfe’s research missions to the jungles of Africa and the rainforests of Borneo have earned him the nickname “the
Indiana Jones of virus hunters,” and here Wolfe takes readers along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous
research trips--to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases and to explain the role that viruses have
played in human evolution.
In a world where each new outbreak seems worse than the one before, Wolfe points the way forward, as new
technologies are brought to bear in the most remote areas of the world to neutralize these viruses and even harness
their power for the good of humanity. His provocative vision of the future will change the way we think about viruses,
and perhaps remove a potential threat to humanity’s survival.
Nathan D. Wolfe is the Lorry I. Lokey Visiting Professor in Human Biology at Stanford University and Director of the
Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, a pandemic early warning system which monitors the spillover of novel infectious
agents from animals into humans. Wolfe has been published in or covered by Nature, Science, The New York Times,
The Economist, Wired, Discover, Scientific American, NPR, Popular Science, Seed, and Forbes. Wolfe was the
recipient of a Fulbright fellowship in 1997 and was awarded the National Institutes of Health (NIH) International
Research Scientist Development Award in 1999 and the prestigious NIH Director's Pioneer Award in 2005.
