Love and Power - a Midwestern First Lady
The fascinating memoir of Margarita Papandreou, First Lady of Greece in the 1980s, Love and Power tells the story of the private woman behind the public face. The book documents Margarita's rise from waitress Margaret in America to the formidable Margarita, feminist campaigner and woman of style, power and influence. Papandreou's wit and passion leaps from the pages even as she provides insider insight into the international politics of the time. An engaging behind-the-scenes look at the life and achievements of an exceptional woman. A dynamic political activist determined to fight for a world free from prejudice and war. Margarita Papandreou gave equal attention to her role as the mother of four children and the wife of a prime minister. Love and Power is her first book and explores her conflict between feminist and woman, love and power.

3,000 Years of Love
Biography/ adventure/ social action?In this book I have brought together a private and a public story within the larger story of the lives of all of us. Some may say that, as convention dictates, I should have kept the three stories properly apart. I can only answer that love in its actuality, rather than the pale mirroring usually allowed us, knows no such boundaries.

A Pacifist's Life and Death
The shadow of a man standing on the back of a three-wheel pickup truck and smashing with a club the head of another man without the police even pretending to chase the killers was to haunt Greeks for many years. With hindsight, it seemed uncannily like a foretaste of what awaited Greece when the Junta stepped in on April 1967, and put a brutal end to all its democratic illusions. Using written and oral evidence, this book weaves a narrative of the life and death of Grigorios Lambrakis: athletic champion, doctor, politician and Greece’s most committed defender of democracy and peace of the post-Civil War period. It surveys the destiny of a people at key historical junctures, probes their ab...
Outspoken
Sima Samar has been fighting for justice all her life. Born into a polygamous family, Samar agreed to an arranged marriage to continue her own education. Once she had qualified as a doctor, she took off into rural areas – on horse, donkey, even on foot – to treat people who had never received medical help before.

After Samar's husband was disappeared by the regime, she faced a choice: to accept the injustices she saw around her or to keep driving for a better Afghanistan. From selling her own hand embroidered bed quilt to pay for her degree, to becoming Vice Preside...
