A revelatory look at the tumultuous life of a jazz legend and American cultural icon In the first biography of Billie Holiday in more than two decades, Paul Alexander—author of heralded lives of Sylvia Plath and J. D. Salinger—gives us an unconventional portrait of arguably America’s most eminent jazz singer. He shrewdly focuses on the last year of her life—with relevant flashbacks to provide context—to evoke and examine the persistent magnificence of Holiday’s artistry when it was supposed to have declined, in the wake of her drug abuse, relationships with violent men, and run-ins with the law. During her lifetime and after her death, Billie Holiday was often depicted as a down-on-her-luck junkie severely lacking in self-esteem. Relying on interviews with people who knew her, and new material unearthed in private collections and institutional archives, Bitter Crop—a reference to the last two words of Strange Fruit, her moving song about lynching—limns Holiday as a powerful, ambitious woman who overcame her flaws to triumph as a vital figure of American popular music.

Told in the East is a collection of three intriguing stories about British rule in the east. The first two deal with the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and are adventure tales full of action. The author writes about the battle and the honor of warriors. The third is a humorous story with a ship of the British Navy put in for repairs somewhere along the coast of the Persian Gulf. Hookum Hai means 'It is an order!'. The story is about how orders are interpreted by the troops when a literal sense of such orders would mean sure death. It follows Sergeant William Brown, who trains soldiers and rebukes them for swearing. Together with the clever Juggut Khan, he takes extraordinary measures to ensure a strong defense and save three women and a child. For the Salt He Had Eaten revolves around Mahommed Khan, an aged commander who rescues a British officer's wife with his quick thinking and bravery. MacHassan Ah is the tale of two sailors and their dog Scamp. They cause chaos while on the shore in an Arab village, only to be saved in peculiar style by a black man claiming to be English.

MacHassan Ah by Talbot Mundy is about naval officer Joe Byng's adventures in the Persian Gulf. Excerpt: "Waist-held in the chains and soused in the fifty-foot-high spray, Joe Byng eyed the sounding lead that swung like a pendulum below him and named it sacrilege. "This 'ere navy ain't a navy no more," he muttered. "This 'ere's a school- gal promenade, 'and-in-'and, an' mind not to get your little trotters wet, that's what this is, so 'elp me two able seamen an' a red marine!"

Certainly no singer has been more mythologized and more misunderstood than Billie Holiday, who helped to create much of the mystique herself with her autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues. "Now, finally, we have a definitive biography," said Booklist of Donald Clarke's Billie Holiday, "by a deeply compassionate, respectful, and open-minded biographer [whose] portrait embraces every facet of Holiday's paradoxical nature, from her fierceness to her vulnerability, her childlikeness to her innate elegance and amazing strength." Clarke was given unrivaled access to a treasure trove of interviews from the 1970s—interviews with those who knew Lady Day from her childhood in the streets and good-time houses of Baltimore through the early days of success in New York and into the years of fame, right up to her tragic decline and death at the age of forty-four. Clarke uses these interviews to separate fact from fiction and, in the words of the Seattle Times, "finally sets us straight. . .evoking her world in all its anguish, triumph, force and irony." Newsday called this "a thoroughly riveting account of Holiday and her milieu." The New York Times raved that it "may be the most thoroughly valuable of the many books on Holiday," and Helen Oakley Dance in JazzTimes said, "We should probably have to wait a long time for another life of Billie Holiday to supersede Donald Clarke's achievement."
