THE NEW PRESS LONDON BOOK FAIR 2008 FEATURED TITLES FROM FALL 2008 Bombing Civilians: A Twentieth-Century History Edited by Young, Marilyn and Tanaka, Yuki. HC. February 2009. 288 pp. An important argument about international law and the morality of war With contributions from scholars from Japan, the United States, and Europe, Bombing Civilians examines a crucial question: why did military planning in the early twentieth century shift its focus from bombing military targets to bombing civilians? From the British bombing of Iraq in the early 1920s to the most recent conflicts in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon, Bombing Civilians analyzes in detail the history of indiscriminate bombing, examining the fundamental questions of how this theory justifying mass killing originated and why it has been employed as a compelling military strategy for decades, both before and since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

January 2009. 240 pp. True-life tales about faking, from Clifford Irving to Stephen Glass, by an award-winning writer Fakers is a fascinating exploration of the varieties of faking, from its historical roots in satire and con artistry to its current boom. Paul Maliszewski journeys into the heart of our fake world, telling tales of the New York Sun’s 1835 moon hoax, the invented poet Ern Malley (inspiration for the novel My Life as a Fake), and his own satiric letters to the editor of the Business Journal of central New York. Through these stories, he explains why fakers almost always find believers and often flourish. World Rights.

January 2009. 352 pp. A leading international correspondent reconstructs the pivotal moment in the rise of Hamas In a in a headlong narrative reminiscent of The Day of the Jackal—with high-speed car chases, negotiated prisoner exchanges, and an international scandal that threatened to destabilize the entire Middle East—acclaimed reporter Paul McGeough offers a gripping account of the botched 1997 assassination attempt of the then little-known Hamas leader Khalid Mishal by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.

P.S.: Further Thoughts from a Lifetime of Listening Terkel, Studs. PBO. November 2008. 288 pp. A classic selection of the Pulitzer Prize–winning oral historian’s greatest writings, broadcasts, and interviews Studs Terkel fans have come to know the prize-winning oral historian through his landmark books, among them“The Good War,” Hard Times, Working, and Race. Few realize, however, that much of Studs’s best work has, in fact, never been published. P.S. brings together these significant and deeply enjoyable writings for the first time: pieces on the colorful history and culture of Chicago; vivid portraits of Studs’s heroes and cohorts; and a wealth of revealing interviews with Simone de Beauvoir, Buckminster Fuller, Yip Harburg, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, to name a few. World rights. A People’s History of Poverty in America Pimpare, Stephen. HC. November 2008. 336 pp. A sweeping, history of poverty in America, told through the eyes and experiences of the poor themselves In this compulsively readable social history, political scientist Stephen Pimpare describes poverty and welfare from the perspective of poor and welfare-reliant Americans. Through prodigious archival research and lucid analysis, Pimpare details the ways in which charity and aid for the poor have been inseparable, more often than not, from the scorn and disapproval of those who help them. In the rich and often surprising historical testimonies he has collected from his subjects, Pimpare overturns any simple conclusions about how the poor see themselves or what it feels like to be poor—and he shows clearly that the poor are all too often aware that charity comes with a price. It is that price that Pimpare eloquently questions in this book, reminding us through powerful anecdotes, some heartwrenching and some surprisingly humorous, that poverty is not an indicator of some moral failure. World Rights. Unjust Deserts: How the Rich Are Taking Our Common Inheritance Alperovitz, Gar & Daly, Lew. HC. November 2008. 176 pp. An entirely new approach to the wealth question In a lively synthesis of modern economic, technological, and cultural research, Alperovitz and Daly demonstrate that up to 90 percent of current economic output derives not from individual ingenuity, effort, or investment but from our collective inheritance of scientific

THE NEW PRESS LONDON BOOK FAIR 2008 and technological knowledge: an inheritance we all receive as a “free lunch.” The authors persuasively argue that there is no reason any one person should be entitled to that inheritance, recognizing the true dimensions of our unearned wealth leads to a new and powerful moral case for wealth distribution. World rights. Viral Spiral: How the Commoners Built a Digital Republic of Their Own Bollier, David. HC. January 2009. 320 pp. A stunning narrative history of the emergence of electronic “free culture,” in the tradition of Lawrence Lessig’s Free Culture The new world of digital media has spawned a “sharing economy” that increasingly competes with entrenched media giants. Reporting from the heart of this “free culture” movement, journalist and activist David Bollier provides the first comprehensive history of the attempt by a global brigade of techies, lawyers, artists, musicians, scientists, business people, and innovators of all stripes to create a digital republic committed to freedom and innovation. Viral Spiral brilliantly interweaves the disparate strands of this eclectic movement. Describing major technological developments, pivotal legal struggles, as well as fascinating profiles of colorful figures who have fought to secure democratic values in cyberspace, Viral Spiral is for anyone seeking to take the full measure of the new digital era.

Published now for the first time, the book includes some of Neugass’s own photos of soldiers at the front and relaxing behind the lines, Spanish civilians, shelled buildings, and war casualties. War Is Beautiful is poised to take its place alongside works by Erich Maria Remarque, Irène Nemirovsky, Wilfred Owen, George Orwell, and Joseph Heller as a transcendent contemporaneous rendering of wartime life.

THE NEW PRESS LONDON BOOK FAIR 2008 The New Press Launches the ≠ (Does Not Equal) Series This fall, The New Press launches the first two books of the “Does Not Equal” series, short books geared towards reclaiming religious values for progressives. These books offer a concise, point-by-point rejection of the equation of three major world faiths with conservative political positions, in each case highlighting the presence of alternative voices and traditions within each faith. The series will include titles along the following lines: Catholic ≠ Vatican Evangelical ≠ Conservative Islam ≠ Fundamentalism Judaism ≠ Israel Catholic ≠ the Vatican Ruether, Rosemary Radford. HC. October 2008. 160 pp. A stirring manifesto for progressive Catholics and a challenge to Vatican politics, from a pioneering feminist In the 1960s, the hopes for a blossoming progressive Catholicism awakened by the Second Vatican Council were cut short by conservative opposition and the rightward agendas of the previous and current pope. Forty years later, Catholic ≠ the Vatican heralds the revival of a newly democratic and participatory church that transcends narrow Vatican doctrine. Destined to be a seminal text of progressive Catholicism, this uncompromising book by renowned scholar and activist Rosemary Radford Ruether examines the serious moral contradictions in Vatican Catholicism and offers a vision of a faith committed to justice and peace. Ruether calls for the dismantling of sexist teachings and ascetic values, while promoting healthy sexual ethics and egalitarian communities that welcome women, gays, and lesbians into full equality in the church and even ordination. World rights. Evangelical ≠ Republican...or Democrat Harper, Lisa Sharon. HC. October 2008. 176 pp. A manifesto for the new progressive evangelical movement A new breed of American evangelicals, with a fiery passion for economic justice, racial reconciliation, and care for the environment, has abandoned the religious right. In Evangelical ≠ Republican . . . Or Democrat, Harper lays out a manifesto for the new progressive evangelical movement, drawing inspiration from the biblical concepts of shalom and the kingdom of God, as well as from historical predecessors such as William Wilberforce, Sojourner Truth, and John Perkins. Harper offers a powerful indictment of the religious right, of its role in hijacking evangelical passion and dividing Christians against each other, and—in an agenda that is racist and sexist to the core—of its abandonment of the gospel. She shows how evangelicals, in disengaging from partisan

THE NEW PRESS LONDON BOOK FAIR 2008 politics, can reclaim that gospel and become a new moral voice for the nation. World rights. 2007 HIGHLIGHTS Big History: From the Big Bang to the Present Brown, Cynthia Stokes. HC. September 2007. 304 pp. Jared Diamond meets Stephen Hawking in a book that fits human history into the history of the universe Translated into Korean (Woongjin/Think Big), Portuguese (Editora Record), and Turkish (Akyuz) Big History represents a new kind of history, one that skillfully interweaves historical knowledge and cutting-edge science. Beginning when the universe is no more than a single point the size of an atom, squeezed together in unimaginable density, and ending with a twenty-first-century planet inhabited by 6.1 billion people, Brown takes in geology, human evolution, the agrarian age, the Vikings, the Mayas and Aztecs, the Incas, the Mongol Empire and the Islamic Heartlands, the Black Death, the voyages of Columbus, the industrial revolution and global warming. Along the way Brown considers topics as varied as cell formation, population growth, global disparities, and illiteracy, creating a stunning synthesis of historical and scientific knowledge of humanity and the earth we inhabit.

May 2008. 192 pp. A trial-by-book of Donald Rumsfeld and other Bush administration officials Based on the original war crimes lawsuit filed in Germany by the Center for Constitutional Rights alongside more than thirty human rights groups and eleven former prisoners at Abu Ghraib, this book presents the evidence that high-level officials of the Bush administration ordered, authorized, implemented, and permitted war crimes—in particular the crimes of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Using primary source documents ranging from Rumsfeld’s “techniques chart,” Iraqi plaintiffs’ statements, the testimony of whistleblowers, and key pieces of reportage, the book sets forth evidence of a torture program that took place throughout the world: in Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantánamo, secret CIA prisons, and other places unknown.
