Pete Rose holds more Major League Baseball records than any other player in history. He stands alone as baseball's hit king having shattered the previously "unbreakable" record held by Ty Cobb. He is a blue-collar hero with the kind of old-fashioned work ethic that turned great talent into legendary accomplishments. Pete Rose is also a lifelong gambler and a sufferer of oppositional defiant disorder. For the past 13 years, he has been banned from baseball and barred from his rightful place in the Hall of Fame-- accused of violating MLB's one taboo. Rule 21 states that no one associated with baseball shall ever gamble on the game. The punishment is no less than a permanent barring from baseball and exclusion from the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has lived in the shadow of his exile. He has denied betting on the game that he loves. He has been shunned by MLB, investigated by the IRS, and served time for tax charges in the U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois. But he's coming back. Pete Rose has never been forgotten by the fans who loved him throughout his 24-year career. The men he played with have stood by him. In this, his first book since his very public fall from grace, Pete Rose speaks with great candor about all the outstanding questions that have kept him firmly in the public eye. He discloses what life was like behind bars, discusses the turbulent years of his exile, and gives a vivid picture of his early life and baseball career. He also confronts his demons, tackling the ugly truths about his gambling and his behavior. My Prison Without Bars is Pete Rose's full accounting of his life. No one thinks he's perfect. He has made mistakes--big ones. And he is finally ready to admit them.

Carlos M. Christian made bad choices at a young age. At thirteen, he became involved with the distribution of illegal drugs and eventually served ten years in prison. From nineteen-years old until he was twenty-nine, Christian was locked away from society with nothing to do but think. All that time could have been wasted...but Christian took an unusual path: he graduated from Marion Technical College for business management with a 3.83 GPA and dedicated himself to improving his own life and the lives of those around him. Upon leaving prison, he beat the odds. Instead of returning to his old life of crime, Christian got a job, bought a house, and got custody of his son. An alarming 76 percent of American prisoners are rearrested within five years-so how did Christian buck the trend? The truth is that he found strength and purpose within himself...and the rest followed. In 2011, Christian founded the Starts Within Organization (SWO) to help other convicts become positive, restored citizens. And in Prison without Bars, a guide for those who want to take value from prison time, Christian shares practical advice about prison education, support groups, and some deeply moving personal revelations. Remember: when healing and personal development start within, no one is beyond redemption.

James Lucot's very personal narrative speaks as a story of the evolution of a soul. His raw, poignant, and sometimes haunting childhood experiences develop into an authentic metamorphosis as an adult. His words reflect a genuine effort to not erase the past in an effort to survive, but to truly wrestle with events and emotions in order to embrace his own life with more resolution, gratitude, and dignity. The culminating triumph of the work rests in the beauty of truth to make us stronger, better, and whole. His honesty in addressing the past and its consequences in his present stand as an open encouragement and call to all of us to recognize ourselves, to dig deeply into the events that shape who we are, and confidently move forward and evolve in hope. - Alison E. Schuster, Esq.

More and more women—mothers, grandmothers, wives, daughters, and sisters—are doing hard prison time all across the United States. Many of them are facing the prospect of years, decades, even lifetimes behind bars. Oddly, there's been little public discussion about the dramatic increase of women in the prison system. What exactly is happening here, and why? The answers are in Women Behind Bars, in which investigative journalist Silja Talvi sheds light on why American girls and women are being locked up at such unprecedented rates. Talvi travels across the country to weave together interviews with inmates, correctional officers, and administrators, providing readers with a glance at the impact incarceration has on our society. With a combination of compassion and critical analysis, Talvi delivers a timely, in-depth analysis of a growing and extremely complicated issue.

"Better than any previous account. Kennedy leaves no doubt about Rose's greatness as a player or his guilt as a gambler." —Allen Barra, The Boston Globe Pete Rose had 4,256 hits in his Major League career. But despite being MLB's all-time leader in base hits, Rose isn't in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Banished from the game in August 1989 amid accusations of gambling, he was ruled ineligible for Cooperstown. Today, the question of whether Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame remains one of the most provocative in sports history. In his intriguing examination of the Hit King's life, New York Times–bestselling author Kostya Kennedy explores the polarizing, charismatic Rose from his early years through his singular career to his long battle to be reinstated, a fight he did not win before his death in 2024 at age 83. Kennedy analyzes how we should evaluate Rose in an era when players accused of taking performance enhancing drugs have regularly appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot. How does the saga of "Charlie Hustle" stand up in modern baseball history? Is it time for Rose—unrepentant gambler, beguiling showman, and deeply talented athlete—to be reconsidered? "Exceptional. Like the best writing about sport—Liebling, Angell—[Kennedy's book] qualifies as stirring literature." —Richard Ford, Pulitzer Prize–winning author "Even readers who know who Mr. Rose is will learn much from . . . this book's stacked roster of interviews and anecdotes [and] fascinating and well-chosen tangents." — The Wall Street Journal "A remarkable book about a fascinating, vexing figure." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

In our constantly plugged-in and connected world, image is everything. People, groups, organizations, and countries frequently come under suspicion of wrongdoing and sometimes require defense. Accounts, Excuses, and Apologies describes the image-repair strategies that may be used to help defuse these threats. The Third Edition of this classic book builds on theories for rehabilitating a damaged reputation by adding two new forms of denial: straw denial (appearing to deny an accusation by sidestepping it) and deflecting attention (trying to get the audience to focus on something other than the accusations against you). Five contexts for image repair are examined: corporate, political, sports/entertainment, international, and third party (when one person or organization tries to repair the image of another). The book’s case studies include current instances of reputation repair, including Vladimir Putin on Ukraine and President Joe Biden on Afghanistan; Southwest Airlines on flight cancellations; Kobe Bryant on accusations of rape; and Donald Trump on the January 6 hearings.

Focusing on the ten most influential baseball books of all time, this volume explores how these landmark works changed the game itself and made waves in American society at large. Satchel Paige's Pitchin' Man informed the dialog surrounding integration. Ring Lardner's You Know Me Al changed the way Americans viewed their baseball heroes and influenced the work of Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Bill James's Baseball Abstract transformed the way managers--including those in fields other than baseball--analyzed numbers. Pete Rose's My Story and My Prison Without Bars exposed and deepened a cultural divide that paved the way for Donald Trump.

This riveting book detailing the rise and fall of baseball legend Pete Rose is "a first-class work of sound reporting and inescapable conclusions" (Roger Angell). Who is Pete Rose? Is he Charlie Hustle, the all-American kid who never grew up, who pushed and stretched himself to get the most out of his limited talent, who would do anything in his power to win and to be a part of the game he loved? Or is he the bloated ex-athlete who broke baseball's one absolute taboo, and who was willing to drag down the whole structure of the sport to save himself? In January 2004, Pete Rose publicly admitted to betting on baseball and began his controversial campaign to get himself off the ineligible list and into the Baseball Hall of Fame. His recently published autobiography, the baseball legend's selective telling of the truth, only furthers the myth and the mystery that surrounds him. With an updated introduction by the author, and packed with interviews with Rose's family, his teammates, sportswriters, and police investigators, Hustle is the real, objective story of the life of Pete Rose.
