Being a young man is always difficult and navigating through high school is a unique experience for everyone. Especially for a young man with hopes of becoming a football star. All throughout my football days I was a star until I wasn’t. Playing football has been some of the best times I’ve had in high school and also the reason for some of the worse days I’ve had in high school. From scoring touchdowns to being benched. Having undefeated seasons to not so undefeated seasons. I detail the pleasures of having a high school sweetheart and juggling a forever changing home life.

In this unsparing exploration of one of the most powerful Americans of the 20th century, accomplished historian Marc Aronson unmasks the man behind the Bureau: his tangled family history and personal relationships; his own need for secrecy, deceit, and control; and the broad trends in American society that shaped his world. Hoover may have given America the security it wanted, but the secrets he knew gave him—and the Bureau—all the power he wanted.

At the outset of World War II, Denmark did not resist German occupation. Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, 15-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain.
