Writers Between the Covers by Joni Rendon,Shannon McKenna Schmidt Pdf
What happened off the page was often a lot spicier than what was written on it... Why did Norman Mailer stab his second wife at a party? Who was Edith Wharton’s secret transatlantic lover? What motivated Anaïs Nin to become a bigamist? Writers Between the Covers rips the sheets off these and other real-life love stories of the literati—some with fairy tale endings and others that resulted in break-ups, breakdowns, and brawls. Among the writers laid bare are Agatha Christie, who sparked the largest-ever manhunt in England as her marriage fell apart; Arthur Miller, whose jaw-dropping pairing with Marilyn Monroe proved that opposites attract, at least initially; and T.S. Eliot, who slept in a deckchair on his disastrous honeymoon. From the best break-up letters to the stormiest love triangles to the boldest cougars and cradle-robbers, this fun and accessible volume—packed with lists, quizzes and in-depth exposés—reveals literary history’s most titillating loves, lusts, and longings.

The 2012 assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya was a premeditated 9/11 inspired terrorist attack. Sadly, until now, it’s never been recognized as one. More troubling, the Benghazi cover-up may well be at the center of the Obama, CIA’s claim of Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election as well as the driving factor in the FBI launching its Russia Probe during the height of the 2016 general election. On 9/11, 2012, the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya was attacked. The U.S. Intelligence Community identified the assailants as the terrorist group “Ansar Al Sharia.” The most plausible explanation for the 2012 assault: It was a planned 9/11 inspired terrorist attack, but that wasn’t the conclusion reached by the CIA and President Obama. Occam’s Razor is a philosophy of assessing issues predicated on the principles of plausibility. The philosophy can be summed up with the following statement: Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions is likely the right one. In other words: In the American Southwest, if one hears hoof beats—think horses, not zebras. Instead, the CIA and President Obama ignored obvious facts, reaching for the dubious explanation—“The Benghazi attack was the result of an obscure video ‘Innocence of Muslims’ released over the internet.” One must ask: Why was the most plausible hypothesis (horses) bypassed in favor of an unsupportive theory (zebras) involving an obscure video where there was no evidence it had even been viewed by the Benghazi attackers? Was there an ulterior motive? Did the 2012 Presidential election play a role in the CIA’s assessment? Was the Benghazi cover-up an “Act of Treason” on the part of President Obama and the CIA? What were President Obama and the CIA trying to hide? “Benghazi” takes a deep look at the facts and myths surrounding the 9/11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. The results are disturbing. Particularly troubling, Benghazi may be the nexus for the Russian Interference storyline of 2016—as well as the failed FBI’s Russia Probe investigation launched during the height of the 2016 Presidential general election.
From the award-winning author of Safe Houses—an "intelligent, tense and sharply written espionage thriller” (Wall Street Journal) about a CIA agent and a young expat who find themselves caught up in a dangerous world, whose secrets, if revealed, could have disastrous repercussions for them both. When CIA agent Claire Saylor is told that she’ll be going undercover in Hamburg to pose as the wife of an academic who has published a controversial interpretation of the Quran’s promise to martyrs, she assumes the job is a punishment for past unorthodox behavior. But when she discovers her team leader is Paul Bridger, another Agency maverick, she realizes there may be more to this mission than meets the eye—and not just for professional reasons. Meanwhile, across town in Hamburg, Mahmoud, a recent Moroccan émigré, begins to fall under the sway of a group of radicals at his local mosque. The deeper he’s drawn into the group, the greater the danger he faces, and he is soon torn between his obligations to them and his feelings toward a beautiful Westernized Muslim woman. As Claire learns the truth about her mission, and Mahmoud grows closer to the radicals, the danger between them builds and spells disaster far beyond the CIA.
