Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
The New York Times bestselling debut book of poetry from Lana Del Rey Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass.Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety which I dictated and then typed out and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason Im proud of them especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lanas breathtaking first book solidifies her further as the essential writer of her times (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven The Land of 1000 Fires Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving LA Who Am I to Love You? Tessa DiPietro Happy Paradise Is Very Fragile Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lanas typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Awardwinning musician Jack Antonoff.

The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War
The groundbreaking investigative story of how three successive presidents and their military commanders deceived the public year after year about the longest war in American history by Washington Post reporter Craig Whitlock a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist.Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first the goals were straightforward and clear: to defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power the mission veered off course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives. Distracted by the war in Iraq the US military became mired in an unwinnable guerrilla conflict in a country it did not understand. But no president wanted to admit failure especially in a war that began as a just cause. Instead the Bush Obama and Trump administrations sent more and more troops to Afghanistan and repeatedly said they were making progress even though they knew there was no realistic prospect for an outright victory. Just as the Pentagon Papers changed the publics understanding of Vietnam The Afghanistan Papers contains startling revelation after revelation from people who played a direct role in the war from leaders in the White House and the Pentagon to soldiers and aid workers on the front lines. In unvarnished language they admit that the US governments strategies were a mess that the nation-building project was a colossal failure and that drugs and corruption gained a stranglehold over their allies in the Afghan government. All told the account is based on interviews with more than 1000 people who knew that the US government was presenting a distorted and sometimes entirely fabricated version of the facts on the ground. Documents unearthed by The Washington Post reveal that President Bush didnt know the name of his Afghanistan war commanderand didnt want to make time to meet with him. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted he had no visibility into who the bad guys are. His successor Robert Gates said: We didnt know jack shit about al-Qaeda. The Afghanistan Papers is a shocking account that will supercharge a long overdue reckoning over what went wrong and forever change the way the conflict is remembered.
