'The astoundingly well reported and beautifully told story of the downfall of what was once a great American company. A must-read' Bethany McLean, bestselling author of The Smartest Guys in the Room 'Compelling and richly reported, Flying Blind is about so much more than the sad decline of Boeing and the tragic mistakes that led to the 737 Max disaster. It's also the urgent story of how the almighty profit motive supplanted a culture of engineering excellence in boardrooms across America' Brad Stone, bestselling author of The Everything Store The definitive exposé of how Boeing put profit before passengers, leading to the devastating loss of life in the 737 MAX crashes and the downfall of a...

Fall from the Sky
With estimated losses of $18.6 billion, the grounding of its most popular aircraft and the lowest request for new orders in two decades, the world's largest plane manufacturer has seen its reputation and value plummet since 2019. This unprecedented descent follows two fatal crashes of Boeing's best-selling aircraft, the 737 MAX. The terrifying events of Lion Air Flight JT610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302 claimed over 346 lives and raised serious questions about the safety and culture of the Boeing organisation. FALL FROM THE SKY investigates the pilots, the airlines and the Boeing organisation in an attempt to identify the factors that led to these inadmissible accidents and expose who really is to blame.
The Last Emperor of Mexico
The "superbly entertaining and well‑researched" (Financial Times) history of Maximilian and Carlota, the European aristocrats who stumbled into power in Mexico--and faced bloody consequences. In the 1860s, Napoleon III, intent on curbing the rise of American imperialism, persuaded a young Austrian archduke and a Belgian princess to leave Europe and become the emperor and empress of Mexico. They and their entourage arrived in a Mexico ruled by terror, where revolutionary fervor was barely suppressed by French troops. When the United States, now clear of its own Civil War, aided the rebels in pushing back Maximilian's imperial soldiers, the French army withdrew, abandoning the young couple. The regime fell apart. Maximilian was executed by a firing squad and Carlota, secluded in a Belgian castle, descended into madness. Assiduously researched and vividly told, The Last Emperor of Mexico is a dramatic story of European hubris, imperialist aspirations clashing with revolutionary fervor, and the Old World breaking from the New.
