Tells the story of a teenager with no hopes who joined the army at sixteen and went on to become one of the most successful counter-terrorism operators in the world.

What's it like to rise from Youngstown, Ohio, to flying in private jets, then lose it all? What's it like to be an alpha male who gets what you want, then realize you have put everything that matters to you at risk? What does it mean to know exactly who you are, then understand that you don't know yourself at all? A born hustler, Chris Hunter co-created Four Loko, the world's most infamous alcoholic beverage, and blew it up to a national sensation and a billion-dollar company in two years, only to be fired by his own partners. Until that moment, he thought he knew what it meant to be a man. He thought he understood-hell, embodied-masculinity. He was wrong. Events that would have broken other men opened a door. Chris Hunter walked through it to a new reality. A searing tale of power, grit, and unexpected reinvention, Blackout Punch is the story of a man who had it all-and wanted it all to be different.

Predominantly built as a "bedroom" community for the San Francisco Bay Area, Pacifica's rich and diverse heritage stretches back to the Spanish explorers of the 17th century. Captured here in over 200 vintage images is a tribute to this coastal community and the settlers and pioneers who made it what it is today. From the early 1900s story of the Ocean Shore Railroad to the recent battles over the California red-legged frog, Pacifica has often been shaped by outside forces. Like few other cities, it is primarily the result of a mixture of people and location; blue-collar families from the 1950s discovered Pacifica's oceanside charm, and helped create it. In the 21st century, the wealthy from the Peninsula and Silicon Valley are rediscovering the same charms, choosing Pacifica over the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Bay Area. This book of photographs, culled from the collection of the Pacifica Historical Society, the files of the Pacifica Tribune, and contributions of local residents, offers a glimpse of the history of one of California's "best kept secrets."
