The late Hip Hop artist Tupac Shakur predicted it: America's 'FINAL SOLUTION' to its War on Drugs. Black men are disappearing, being abducted. And no one is asking questions. Not the media, not the police, not the government. They're participating. Investigative reporter Cinque Solomon stumbles upon the key to the truth while covering what he believes to be another drug-related murder in a violence-plagued Southeast DC neighborhood. Soon, Cinque becomes the target, and when professionals fail to kill him, he's framed for three murders, including those of two police officers. Now, everyone...

The short story collection A Beer Before Lunch is about how to become lost in the occasionally anarchic, always intoxicating city of Recife in the north east of Brazil. Funny, touching and occasionally tragic, it covers football, friendship, love, sex, death, loss and everything in between. James Young lived in Recife between 2007 and 2012. He is now based in the considerably less exciting city of Belo Horizonte in the south east of Brazil, where he writes about the country and its football for The Independent, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, ESPN, Al-Jazeera, the Folha de Sao Paulo and...

If you're lucky enough to be employed today in the United States, there's about a one-in-ten chance that you're in a labor union. And even if you're part of that unionized 10 percent, chances are your union doesn't carry much economic or political clout. But this was not always the case, as historian and activist James Young shows in this vibrant story of the United Electrical Workers Union. The UE, built by hundreds of rank-and-file worker-activists in the quintessentially industrial town of Erie, Pennsylvania, was able to transform the conditions of the working class largely because it...

My God, we are losing this war.--Lt. Nicholas Cobb, USN March 1943. The Usurper's War has resumed, with disastrous results for the Allies. In Hawaii, the U.S. Pacific Fleet lies shattered after the Battle of Hawaii. Across the Pacific the Imperial Japanese Navy, flush with their recent victory, turns its gimlet eye towards the south and the ultimate prize for their Emperor: The Dutch East Indies. For Commander Jacob Morton and the other members of the Asiatic Fleet, the oncoming Japanese storm means that the U.S.S. Houston and her Allied companions must learn to fight against overwhelming...
