He believed that to achieve his goal he must do something spectacular on the battlefield. Despite deliberately putting himself in extreme danger as a British Army officer in colonial wars in India and Sudan, and as a journalist covering a Cuban uprising against the Spanish, glory and fame had eluded him. Churchill arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, there to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels. But just two weeks after his arrival, the soldiers he was accompanying on an armored train were ambushed, and Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape--but then had to traverse hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. The story of his escape is incredible enough, but then Churchill enlisted, returned to South Africa, fought in several battles, and ultimately liberated the men with whom he had been imprisoned. Churchill would later remark that this period, \"could I have seen my future, was to lay the foundations of my later life.\" Millard spins an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a cast of historical characters—including Rudyard Kipling, Lord Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi—with whom he would later share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from the Boer War would profoundly affect 20th century history.",2016,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7e8r4nffgk40fetq09ajn9.jpg?v=9db809f527","LjM?^.t7t6of~oj[oekB?uWCj@j[",0,206,234,"complete",false,true,[20],{"id":21,"slug":22,"name":23,"role":24,"bio":25},"01kk1y8s9pmvbw2ap0m22m32pd","candice-millard-3jiw","Candice Millard","author","Candice Millard is the author of *The River of Doubt*, a gripping historical narrative.

In The Five, historian Hallie Rubenhold refuses that framing and instead reconstructs the full lives of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.\n\nDrawing on extensive archival research, Rubenhold traces each woman from birth through the social forces — poverty, industrialization, unstable marriages, addiction, and the near-total lack of options available to working-class women — that led them to the streets of the East End. In doing so she dismantles the long-repeated assumption that all five were prostitutes, and restores to them the dignity of being understood as individuals rather than corpses.\n\nWinner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, The Five is a work of social history and biography that deliberately keeps its gaze away from the killer. It is a moving, meticulously researched portrait of Victorian womanhood and a corrective to one of the most famous true-crime narratives in the world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhvydamqc4kf6cktbzx9b.jpg","LRAo4}V?DOog*0V?Mdt7IAbIoJj[",2019,352,[436],{"id":437,"slug":438,"name":439},"01kkc81n9r3erfyea2z7aw3d9x","hallie-rubenhold-rew9","Hallie Rubenhold",[441,442,446,447,451,452],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":17},{"id":443,"name":444,"slug":445,"is_fiction":17},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"is_fiction":18},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":17},{"id":453,"name":454,"slug":455,"is_fiction":17},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":106,"mood":458,"themes":460,"setting_period":7,"summary":461,"content_warnings":7},[218,150,459,252,279],"melancholic",[],"Historian Hallie Rubenhold reclaims the lives of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper in 1888 — Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane — refusing to center the killer.

Operations were performed at brutal speed, without anesthesia at first and always without any understanding of infection; patients who survived the knife often died days later of \"hospital gangrene\" in wards that surgeons entered in blood-stiffened coats worn as badges of experience. Into this world came Joseph Lister, a thoughtful young surgeon who could not accept that so many deaths were simply the price of the trade.\n\nLindsey Fitzharris follows Lister from the dissection rooms and operating theaters of Victorian Britain to his revolutionary embrace of Louis Pasteur's germ theory. Convinced that invisible microorganisms, not \"bad air,\" caused post-surgical infection, Lister developed antiseptic methods, using carbolic acid and rigorous cleanliness, against the skepticism and outright hostility of his peers.\n\nThe Butchering Art is a vivid work of popular history and biography that doubles as a portrait of an era. Grisly, humane, and briskly told, it charts the hard-won transformation of surgery from a gamble with death into the foundation of modern medicine.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjfq4kfykq3dsr7dgtczna.jpg","L5AR^nr?9]}@{MXl$*R6H@RjK3Ip","3.00",304,[472],{"id":473,"slug":474,"name":475},"01kkfawg5ev7g55tdv0abve78f","lindsey-fitzharris-ykri","Lindsey Fitzharris",[477,478,482,486,487],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":17},{"id":479,"name":480,"slug":481,"is_fiction":17},92,"Science","science",{"id":483,"name":484,"slug":485,"is_fiction":17},117,"Medicine","medicine",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":106,"mood":490,"themes":492,"setting_period":7,"summary":493,"content_warnings":7},[218,279,217,252,491],"atmospheric",[],"A vivid history of Victorian surgery, when operations were fast, filthy, and frequently fatal.

When Marko Ramius, the Soviet Union's most brilliant submarine commander, takes the experimental ballistic-missile submarine Red October to sea, he does the unthinkable: he sets course for the United States, intending to defect with his officers and hand over the Soviets' most advanced boat -- one fitted with a near-silent \"caterpillar\" drive that could tip the nuclear balance.\n\nThe entire Soviet Atlantic fleet is soon hunting Red October to sink her before she can reach American waters, while the U.S. Navy struggles to work out whether Ramius means war or defection. Caught in the middle is Jack Ryan, an analyst who must convince skeptical admirals and politicians of his read on Ramius's intentions -- and then stake his life on being right.\n\nMeticulously researched and paced like a chess match played beneath the ocean, the novel blends submarine warfare, intelligence tradecraft, and Cold War brinkmanship into a taut cat-and-mouse chase. A word-of-mouth sensation praised by President Reagan and later adapted into a hit film, The Hunt for Red October launched one of the best-selling thriller franchises of all time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktfn08kb3hxeey7dav7ywbhy.jpg?v=d8a21b414f","L3PZ1Bu*~Wu*00-p9FxZ0f7K.myX",1984,480,[694],{"id":695,"slug":696,"name":697},"01kjsv9yn50035d8f6zam5xagt","tom-clancy-nvi8","Tom Clancy",[699,703,707,708,709,713],{"id":700,"name":701,"slug":702,"is_fiction":18},45,"Spy","spy",{"id":704,"name":705,"slug":706,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":18},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":17},{"id":710,"name":711,"slug":712,"is_fiction":18},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":714,"name":715,"slug":716,"is_fiction":18},215,"Techno-Thriller","techno-thriller",[718,722],{"id":719,"slug":720,"name":721,"position":679,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kk07gpxhx2gqn8145kgs53m1","jack-ryan-b1sf","Jack Ryan",{"id":723,"slug":724,"name":725,"position":469,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kk5r4bvgkgybn54a529ej8h6","jack-ryan-universe-xuwt","Jack Ryan Universe",{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":106,"mood":727,"themes":728,"setting_period":7,"summary":729,"content_warnings":7},[109,491,108],[],"Tom Clancy's genre-defining 1984 debut and the first Jack Ryan novel.

Along the way he lays out the mental tools he built to get there: the \"40% Rule\" that says we quit far short of our real limits, the \"Accountability Mirror\" for confronting hard truths, and the \"Cookie Jar\" of past victories to draw on when the body wants to stop.\n\nBlunt, intense, and unsentimental, Goggins's independently published memoir became a word-of-mouth phenomenon — as much a challenge to the reader as a life story, aimed squarely at anyone who suspects they're settling for less than they're capable of.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4na5ytqqs4dfgrqyz7kmd.jpg","LBH-[Ja}00xa00NH_2Rj4TR*~WbI","4.17",364,[1007],{"id":1008,"slug":1009,"name":1010},"01kjq83gfddr0df9ke3da12a1c","david-goggins-wlb2","David Goggins",[1012,1013,1014,1018,1019,1020,1024],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1015,"name":1016,"slug":1017,"is_fiction":17},72,"Self-Help & Psychology","self-help-psychology",{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":17},{"id":629,"name":630,"slug":631,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1021,"name":1022,"slug":1023,"is_fiction":17},95,"Self-Help","self-help",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":106,"mood":1027,"themes":1028,"setting_period":7,"summary":1029,"content_warnings":7},[148,217,279,150],[],"Part memoir, part manual for mental toughness, David Goggins's bestseller charts his journey from an abusive, impoverished childhood to becoming a Navy SEAL, ultramarathoner, and Guinness World Record holder.
