Sunny Hostin tiene una manera definida de ver las cosas.Como criatura del South Bronx, criada en sus destartalados edificios de vivienda pública, tiene mucho que decir sobre la pobreza. Como madre de un varón de raza negra, tiene opiniones firmes sobre la epidemia de violencia policial que está extinguiendo la vida de demasiados niños y hombres negros. Como mujer biracial, tiene una perspectiva privilegiada de la intersección de la identidad y el área gris que existe entre lo blanco y lo negro.Hostin es conocida por millones de personas como una de las coanfitrionas del laureado programa televisivo, “The View”, y como la experta ex fiscal que ofrece cuidadosos análisis de las decisiones más recientes del Tribunal Supremo, o de las intrigas legales del Departamento de Justicia bajo Donald Trump, o del juicio criminal más sensacional del momento para el noticiario ABC News y para el conocido show, “Good Morning America”. La periodista, ganadora en tres ocasiones del premio Emmy, fue analista legal en CNN durante cerca de una década antes de comenzar a trabajar en “The View” y la emisora ABC en 2016.Sin embargo, pocos televidentes saben que Hostin, quien fuera fiscal auxiliar para el Distrito de Columbia, es hija de una pareja de adolescentes; o que cuando tenía ocho años su familia abandonó para siempre el South Bronx porque un querido tío había sido asesinado a cuchillazos frente a sus ojos en el baño de una miserable vivienda.Tampoco saben que Hostin fue la primera reportera en recibir una llamada que avisaba del asesinato de un adolescente afroamericano de nombre Trayvon Martin a manos de un vigilante de vecindario cuando Trayvon regresaba a su casa a pie después de haber ido a una tienda; o que cuando ella les relató a sus productores lo que habría de convertirse en uno de los casos más infames de injusticia racial de nuestros tiempos, ellos respondieron que no les interesaba porque era “solo una historia local”.Con franqueza absoluta, SOY ESTAS VERDADES contará los pormenores del escarpado recorrido que llevó a Hostin desde St. Mary´s Park Houses en el Bronx a una exclusiva escuela para niñas en el Upper East Side y a los pasillos de los más altos tribunales de la nación, hasta llegar a los bien iluminados estudios de la emisora ABC.

Winner of the UK’s 2022 Costa Prize for Biography“A portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures in the annals of white-collar crime. . . . A well-researched, compelling book that uncovers many mysteries about a media tycoon.”—Kirkus ReviewsFrom the acclaimed author of A Very English Scandal, a thrilling and dramatic true-life account of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious media moguls of all time: Robert Maxwell.In February 1991, Robert Maxwell triumphantly sailed into Manhattan harbor on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to buy the ailing New York Daily News. Taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand, children asked for his autograph, and patrons of the hottest restaurant in Manhattan gave him a standing ovation while he dined. Ten months later, Maxwell disappeared off that same yacht in the middle of the night and was later found dead in the water. As John Preston reveals in this entertaining and revealing biography, Maxwell’s death was as mysterious as his remarkable life.A tightly paced, addictive saga of ambition, hubris, narcissism, greed, power, and intrigue, Fall recounts Maxwell’s rise and fall and rise and fall again. Preston weaves backwards and forwards in time to examine the forces that shaped Maxwell, including his childhood as a Jew in occupied Eastern Europe through his failed political ambitions in the 1960s which ended in accusations of financial double-dealing, and his resurrection as a media mogul--and on to the family legacy he left behind, including his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell. Preston chronicles Maxwell’s all-encompassing rivalry with Rupert Murdoch—a battle that ruined Maxwell financially, threatened his sanity and lead, indirectly, to his death. Did Maxwell have a heart attack and fall overboard? Was his death suicide? Or was he murdered—possibly by Mossad or the KGB? Few in the twentieth century journeyed as far from his roots as Robert Maxwell. Yet, as Fall reveals, no one, however rich and powerful, can entirely escape their past.
