In the vast tapestry of Western lore, "Blood and Thunder" emerges as a gripping saga that deftly intertwines the exploits of Kit Carson, a legendary frontiersman, and the profound history of the Navajo Nation. Hampton Sides masterfully pens a narrative that unveils the intricate relationship between man and land, casting a thought-provoking lens on American history and its treatment of native peoples.
As the pages unfurl, readers embark on a journey into the untamed heart of the 19th-century American West. Through Sides' vivid prose, they witness Carson's remarkable exploits as a scout, soldier, and explorer, venturing deep into uncharted territories and encountering both triumphs and heart-wrenching setbacks. But beyond the chronicle of one man's adventures, "Blood and Thunder" delves into the rich cultural heritage of the Navajo people. Sides meticulously pieces together their history, customs, and unwavering resilience in the face of adversity. He shines a light on the atrocities they endured during forced relocations and the tireless struggle for recognition and sovereignty.
With meticulous research and a storyteller's flair, Sides brings to life the vibrant cast of characters that shaped this tumultuous era. From the enigmatic Navajo leader Manuelito to the enigmatic frontiersman Kit Carson, this book has it all.

Every town needs a hero, and Detective Cal Farrell fits the bill. He stopped an active shooter six months earlier, and now he’s become the darling of the Alexandria press. The problem is that Cal remembers nothing from that day. He’s working with a psychiatrist to recover his memories, but hasn’t had much luck. Then, on one of his morning runs, he is once again the first on scene for a grisly discovery—a body hanging impossibly high on a tree. Soon there’s another victim, killed by a blade and dumped in a ravine.

The world is Rita Khoury’s oyster. The bright and driven daughter of a Boston-area Irish Arab family that has risen over the generations from poor immigrants to part of the coastal elite, Rita grows up in a 1980s cultural mishmash. Corned beef and cabbage sit on the dinner table alongside stuffed grape leaves and tabouleh, all cooked by Rita’s mother, an Irish nurse who met her Lebanese surgeon husband while working at a hospital together. The unconventional yet close-knit family bonds over summers at the beach, wedding line dances, and a shared obsession with the Red Sox.

The first authoritative biography of film legend Bruce Lee, who made martial arts a global phenomenon, bridged the divide between Eastern and Western cultures, and smashed long-held stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans. Forty-five years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at age 32, journalist and best-selling author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee.
