The Immortal Irishman The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American HeroDescription
Egan has a gift for sweeping narrative . . . and he has a journalists eye for the telltale detail . . . This is masterly work. New York Times Book Review
In this exciting and illuminating work, National Book Award winner Timothy Egan delivers a story, both rollicking and haunting, of one of the most famous Irish Americans of all time. A dashing young orator during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life. But two years later he was back from the dead and in New York, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. Meaghers rebirth included his leading the newly formed Irish Brigade in many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War. Afterward, he tried to build a new Ireland in the wild west of Montanaa quixotic adventure that ended in the great mystery of his disappearance, which Egan resolves convincingly at last.
This is marvelous stuff. Thomas F. Meagher strides onto Egan's beautifully wrought pages just as he livedpowerfully larger than life. A fascinating account of an extraordinary life. Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat
Thomas Meaghers is an irresistible story, irresistibly retold by the virtuosic Timothy Egan . . . A gripping, novelistic page-turner. Wall Street Journal

6. Riot Days
Description
A Pussy Rioters riveting, hallucinatory account of her years in Russias criminal system and of finding power in the most powerless of situations
In February 2012, after smuggling an electric guitar into Moscows iconic central cathedral, Maria Alyokhina and other members of the radical collective Pussy Riot performed a provocative Punk Prayer, taking on the Orthodox church and its support for Vladimir Putins authoritarian regime.
For this, they were charged with organized hooliganism and were tried while confined in a cage and guarded by Rottweilers. That trial and Alyokhinas subsequent imprisonment became an international cause. For Alyokhina, her two-year sentence launched a bitter struggle against the Russian prison system and an iron-willed refusal to be deprived of her humanity. Teeming with protests and police, witnesses and cellmates, informers and interrogators, Riot Days gives voice to Alyokhinas insistence on the right to say no, whether to a prison guard or to the president. Ultimately, this insistence delivers unprecedented victories for prisoners rights.
Evocative, wry, laser-sharp, and laconically funny, Alyokhinas account is studded with song lyrics, legal transcripts, and excerpts from her jail diarydispatches from a young woman who has faced tyranny and returned with the proof that against all odds even one person can force its retreat.

8. A Riot of Our Own: Night and Day with the Clash
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Johnny Green was a footloose slacker who loved punk rock, stumbled into being a roadie for the Sex Pistols, then tripped again into a job pushing sound equipment for the Clash and driving their beat-up van to performances in the mean industrial towns of England. Disaffected youth anointed the Clash as their spokesmen and made the group synonymous with punk itself in the late 1970s. Eventually becoming the band's road manager, Green had a unique vantage point from which to witness the burgeoning punk rock movement while helping the band in their perpetual search for women, booze, and drugs. Green was with the Clash when they conquered America, bringing with them their bad behavior and great music, and burning out after their third, too-long tour. Written in a tell-it-as-it-was style and accompanied by contemporaneous drawings by Ray Lowry, who tagged along with the Clash on their American tour as their official "war artist," A Riot of Our Own pierces the heart of the culture and music of punk rock and the people who lived it.
