In Sea Power both of those attributes come together in creating a must read for anyone seriously thinking about the world's challenges in the 21st cen-tury.” —Admiral Bill McRaven, USN (Ret.), Chancellor, The University of Texas System, former Commander, U.S. Special Operations CommandPenguin Press Hardcover • 384 pages • 978-0-7352-2059-1 • $28.00

JOHN GUYElizabeth: The Later Years“A superb book….Guy persuades us that pretty much everything we think we know about Elizabeth is wrong….Considering that she was a Protestant in a Catholic-dominated Europe, a woman in a male-dominated world, the daughter of one parent who had been executed by the other…[she] should be seen as the most remarkable individual to have worn a European crown between Charlemagne and Napoleon.”—Andrew Roberts, The Wall Street Journal“A fresh, thrilling portrait….Guy’s Elizabeth is deliciously human.”—Stacy Schiff, The New York Times Book ReviewPenguin Paperback • 512 pages • 978-0-14-311009-5 • $20.00COSTA AWARD FINALISTAN ECONOMIST AND FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

J ERRY BROTTONThe Sultan and the QueenThe Untold Story of Elizabeth and IslamBrotton tells the riveting and largely unknown story of the traders and adventurers who first went East to seek their fortunes—and reveals how Elizabeth’s fruitful alignment with the Islamic world, financed by England’s first joint stock companies, paved the way for its transformation into a global commercial empire.“We are accustomed to seeing Elizabeth as a dazzling but essentially limited monarch, ob-sessed with defending her small corner of northwest Europe….But as Brotton shows, for the last quarter of her reign, England was also deeply engaged with the three great powers of the Islamic world. The Sultan and the Queen is both a colorful narrative of that extraor-dinary time and a reminder that our own fortunes and those of the wider Islamic world have been intertwined for much longer than we might think.”—Dan Jones, The Times (UK)Penguin Paperback • 352 pages • 978-0-14-311062-0 • $18.00

DAN JONESSummer of Blood: England's First RevolutionIn the summer of 1381, ravaged by poverty and oppressed by taxes, the people of England rose up and demanded that their voices be heard. A ragtag army, led by the mysterious Wat Tyler and the visionary preacher John Ball, rose up against the 14-year-old Richard II and his most powerful lords and knights, who risked their property and their lives in a battle to save the English crown. Jones brings this incendiary moment to life and captures both the idealism and brutality of that fateful summer, when a brave group of men and women dared to challenge their overlords, demand that they be treated equally, and fight for freedom."Combines zest and flair with an acute historical intelligence. Bold. Surprising. Unput-downable."—David StarkeyPenguin Paperback • 256 pages • 978-0-14-311175-7 • $17.00

The TemplarsThe Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy WarriorsJones tells the true story of the Templars for the first time in a generation, drawing on extensive original sources to build a gripping account of these Christian holy warriors whose heroism and depravity have so often been shrouded in myth. “A fresh, muscular and compelling history of the ultimate military-religious crusading order, combining sensible scholarship with narrative swagger, featuring a cast of exuber-antly monstrous sword swingers spattering Christian and Islamic blood from Spain to Jerusalem.”—Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem: The Biography Viking Hardcover • 448 pages • 978-0-525-42830-5 • $30.00

R ICKSChurchill and Orwell: The Fight for FreedomA dual biography of Winston Churchill and George Orwell, whose vision and inspired ac-tion preserved democracy from the threats of authoritarianism, from the left and right alike.“An elegantly written celebration of two men who faced an existential crisis to their way of life with moral courage—and demonstrated that an individual can make a difference.” —San Francisco ChroniclePenguin Press Hardcover • 352 pages • 978-1-59420-613-9 • $28.00

This is the definitive biography, but also a fine work of literature in itself.”—Andrew Roberts, The New-York Historical SocietyPenguin Press Hardcover • 400 pp. • 978-1-59420-581-1 • $30.00
