Mies, joka sai yleisön ulvomaan. Shawn Huffin huima tarina Jakomäen ainoasta ruskeasta pojasta kansainväliseksi koripalloammattilaiseksi ja Susijengin kippariksi. Huff ehti nähdä pitkän koripallouransa aikana suomalaisen koriksen nousun Euroopan huipulle ja aina MM-kisoihin saakka. Hän oli sytyttämässä Susijengi-ilmiötä liekkeihin ja kaikkialla missä Huffin johtama maajoukkue pelasi, mukana oli aina tuhansia ja tuhansia innokkaita suomalaisfaneja. Eurooppalaisessa seurakoriksessa hän pääsi pelaamaan Kreikan, Italian, Ranskan ja Saksan pääsarjoja sekä arvostettua Eurocupia. Shawn Huff on myös perheenisä ja poliitikko, jolle oli ilmiselvää, että peliuran päätyttyä hän ei jäisi vain kiertämään golf-kenttiä, vaan pyrkisi toimimaan oikeudenmukaisemman ja paremman yhteiskunnan puolesta. Omat lapsuudenkokemukset rasismista ovat kannustaneet häntä aktiiviseen rasisminvastaiseen työhön niin ruohonjuuritasolla kuin politiikassakin. Tommi Aition aikaisempaan tuotantoon kuuluvat muun muassa elämäkerrat Pertti ”Spede” Pasasesta sekä Uuno Turhapurosta. Hän on myös julkaissut esseekokoelman Lajinsa paras, monografian kuvataiteilija Kaj Stenvallin tuotannosta sekä yhdessä Tuomas Niskakankaan kanssa ammattilaistenniksen salaisuuksia valottaneen On Tour-kirjan.

Susijengi hurmasi koko Suomen vuoden 2022 koripallon EM-kisoissa ampaisemalla supertähtensä Lauri Markkasen johdolla EM-puolivälieriin asti ja haastamalla sittemmin mestarina kruunatun Espanjan tasaväkiseen kamppailuun. Vaan mikä kansaa villitsevä Susijengi oikein on, mistä joukkueen tarina alkoi ja ketkä ovat olleet sen arkkitehtejä ja voimahahmoja?

A Times/Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Powerful . . . there is rage in his ink. McKay's book grips by its passion and originality. Some 25,000 people perished in the firestorm that raged through the city. I have never seen it better described' Max Hastings, Sunday Times In February 1945 the Allies obliterated Dresden, the 'Florence of the Elbe'. Explosive bombs weighing over 1,000 lbs fell every seven and a half seconds and an estimated 25,000 people were killed. Was Dresden a legitimate military target or was the bombing a last act of atavistic mass murder in a war already won? From the history of the city to the attack itself, conveyed in a minute-by-minute account from the first of the flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high - the wind so searingly hot that the lungs of those in its path were instantly scorched - through the eerie period of reconstruction, bestselling author Sinclair McKay creates a vast canvas and brings it alive with touching human detail. Along the way we encounter, among many others across the city, a Jewish woman who thought the English bombs had been sent from heaven, novelist Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that the smouldering landscape was like walking on the surface of the moon, and 15-year-old Winfried Bielss, who, having spent the evening ushering refugees, wanted to get home to his stamp collection. He was not to know that there was not enough time. Impeccably researched and deeply moving, McKay uses never-before-seen sources to relate the untold stories of civilians and vividly conveys the texture of contemporary life. Dresden is invoked as a byword for the illimitable cruelties of war, but with the distance of time, it is now possible to approach this subject with a much clearer gaze, and with a keener interest in the sorts of lives that ordinary people lived and lost, or tried to rebuild. Writing with warmth and colour about morality in war, the instinct for survival, the gravity of mass destruction and the manipulation of memory, this is a master historian at work. 'Churchill said that if bombing cities was justified, it was always repugnant. Sinclair McKay has written a shrewd, humane and balanced account of this most controversial target of the Anglo-American strategic bombing campaign, the ferocious consequence of the scourge of Nazism' Allan Mallinson, author of Fight to the Finish 'Beautifully-crafted, elegiac, compelling - Dresden delivers with a dark intensity and incisive compassion rarely equalled. Authentic and authoritative, a masterpiece of its genre' Damien Lewis, author of Zero Six Bravo 'Compelling . . . Sinclair McKay brings a dark subject vividly to life' Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent 'This is a brilliantly clear, and fair, account of one of the most notorious and destructive raids in the history aerial warfare. From planning to execution, the story is told by crucial participants - and the victims who suffered so cruelly on the ground from the attack itself and its aftermath' Robert Fox, author of We Were There

Two-time All-Star and thirteen-year NBA veteran Caron Butler has an impressive basketball record. He was Big East Co-Player of the Year at UConn, the 10th overall pick of the 2002 NBA Draft and a key player for the Dallas Mavericks in their championship-winning season in 2011. But before Butler had a chance to prove himself on the court, he spent his time trying to prove himself on the streets, as a gang member and drug dealer in his hometown of Racine, Wisconsin. He saw friends gunned down in the bloody street wars near his home, was arrested nearly 15 times and wound up behind bars and in solitary confinement before his 15th birthday. Tuff Juice shares Caron Butler’s extraordinary journey from his delinquent youth in the streets of Racine to his role as an accomplished pro basketball player, dedicated husband and father, active philanthropist and burgeoning businessman. Along the way, the book explores the incredible impact his single mother’s unconditional love and his college coach’s unwavering support had on him, and what drives him to be so successful in basketball and in life. Like The Blind Side, it’s a gripping narrative filled with hubris, dangerous obstacles and heartwarming moments that transcend sports and speak to perseverance, hope and the triumph of the human spirit.
