Kacy Tellessen is a grunt. After completing high school in rural Washington, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and began the hero's journey he imagined might parallel those epic tales he'd consumed throughout adolescence. But what Tellessen lived through—from boot camp to the battlefield and home again—had little in common with Homer's tales or Hollywood's depictions. In his memoir, Tellessen offers a truer account of life as an infantryman: the complicated, conflicting, adrenaline-pumping, and traumatic experience of war.

In 2008, Democrats won a sweeping victory, seizing the White House and the majority in both houses of Congress.

What do North Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia have in common? They all made the list — and not the good kind. Control Freaks is a ruthless, unfiltered tour through the 10 most strict countries on Earth — where joy is illegal, jokes are treason, and your haircut can land you in prison.
