History

We Survived the Night by Julian Brave NoiseCat
Julian Brave NoiseCat
1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin
Andrew Ross Sorkin


A stunning narrative from one of the most powerful young writers at work today. We Survived the Night interweaves oral history with hard-hitting journalism and a deeply personal father-son journey into a searing portrait of Indigenous survival, love, and resurgence.

From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, comes a spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history. 1929 unravels the greed, blind optimism, and human folly that led to an era-defining collapse — one with ripple effects that still shape our society today.
