From New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker and New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser come the highly anticipated THE MAN WHO RAN WASHINGTON: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III (Doubleday) — an unmatched case study in the acquisition, exercise, and preservation of power told through an account of one of the most significant and influential leaders in modern American government never to serve as president of the United States.

Peter Baker and Susan Glasser are longtime Washington journalists and former foreign correspondents who have written for years about the intersection of politics and the world. Baker is the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, an MSNBC political analyst and a regular panelist on Washington Week on PBS. He has covered the last four presidents for The Times and The Washington Post and won all three major awards for White House coverage. Susan Glasser is a staff writer for The New Yorker and author of the weekly “Letter from Trump’s Washington” as well as a global affairs analyst for CNN. She previously was the editor of POLITICO and founder of the award-winning POLITICO Magazine. Before that, she was executive editor of Foreign Policy magazine following a long stint at The Post, where she was assistant managing editor for national news and editor of the paper’s Outlook section.

In his 2012 bestseller, The General vs. the President, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands provided a thrilling, personality-driven narrative of two figures whose destinies collided at an epic turning point in American history: President Truman, General MacArthur, and the emerging Cold War.

Now, the New York Times bestselling historian turns his attention to the epic struggle over slavery in THE ZEALOT AND THE EMANCIPATOR (Doubleday). With clear parallels to our current moment, Brands offers a dual portrait of John Brown and Abraham Lincoln, two men with radically different views on how moral people must respond to our democracy’s most extreme injustice: by incremental change within the system? Or by radical upheaval?

Harvey Araton is one of New York’s—and the nation’s—best-known sports journalists, having covered thousands of Knicks games over the course of a long and distinguished career. But the person at the heart of OUR LAST SEASON: A Writer, a Fan, a Friendship , is Michelle Musler, a fan who was largely anonymous—except, that is, to the players,coaches, and writers who passed through Madison Square Garden. Musler held season tickets

behind the Knicks bench and missed only a few games over the course of 45 years, becoming as big a staple at the Garden as Spike Lee. She and Araton formed an extraordinary friendship during hours spent at the arena—Araton reporting on the latest matchup and Musler cheering on the team,

always in her seat and never late. Basketball is the foundation for Araton and Musler's story, but OUR LAST SEASON is a universal narrative of the bittersweet moments of transition we all experience and the special people we entrust to help us get through them.

About HIS VERY BEST Jonathan Alter tells the epic story of an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to global icon. Alter paints an intimate and surprising portrait of the only president since Thomas Jefferson who can fairly be called a Renaissance Man, a complex figure—ridiculed and later revered—with a piercing intelligence, prickly intensity, and biting wit beneath the patented smile. Here is a moral exemplar for our times, a flawed but underrated president of decency and vision who was committed to telling the truth to the American people.

In MAINLINING PHILLY: Survival, Hope and Resisting Drug Addiction, Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, PsyD., tells her disturbing but inspirational story of growing up as the child of drug addicts. Meeting Dr. Geri-Lynn, a Philadelphia native for the first time, it would be easy to assume she’s the product of the elite schools and glossy social life of the Mainline. But in fact, Geri-Lynn grew up in Kensington, her father and her mother both lifelong drug addicts. She saw first-hand the torment of addiction. The violence of the “life.” The despair that there could be no way out except death by overdose.

Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter is a clinical psychologist who works with individuals struggling with drug addiction and severe mental illness. She is the child of parents who suffered from drug addiction. She has also witnessed countless addicts who lived and died in her parents’ wildly dysfunctional and often criminal inner circle during her childhood in one of Philadelphia’s roughest areas.
