A huge response greeted Jake Donoghue‘s debut book Crypto Confidential (Flint Books), which published on August 22.

Reviews, podcasts and features ran in Disruption Banking, American Banker, and DL News, with more on the way in September.

Former IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard says: “A brilliant and fascinating description of crypto. It makes painfully clear that, on the buying side, there is no limit to human credulity, and the faith in magic returns. And, on the selling side, no limit to hubris, deception and scamming. Read the book, and cry.”

Henry R. Schlesinger, author of Honey Trapped (The History Press) wrote an article for AirMail this month, entitled The New York Yacht Club Goes to War.

During World War I, the lavish yachts of New York’s richest families—replete with Tiffany interiors and pipe organs—were commandeered into hunting German submarines.

Stay tuned for more news about Henry’s upcoming project soon.

THE LANCASTER STORY by Sarah-Louise Miller to Michael O’Mara Books

World rights have gone to Michael O’Mara for Sarah-Louise Miller’s next book.

The Lancaster Story takes readers on a remarkable journey through the history of an aviation icon. Between its introduction in 1942 and the end of the Second World War, the Avro Lancaster flew over 150,000 sorties, dropped over 600,000 tons of explosives and took the Allied fight to Nazi Germany.

The true workhorse of the RAF’s bomber corps, the ‘Lanc’ featured on some of the most daring and celebrated missions of the war, including the heroic Dambusters raid and the Operation Hydra bombing. These and many other successes came at a significant cost, however: almost half of the 7,377 Lancasters deployed into service were lost in action.

Using archival documents, letters and first-hand accounts, The Lancaster Story delivers a dramatic and vividly rendered account of the most successful RAF bomber of the Second World War and the lives of the men and women who flew, designed, constructed, maintained it. Combining individual stories into a gripping, panoramic narrative, it paints a complete portrait of the battle over Europe, and the Lancaster’s unique and decisive role within it.

Sarah’s previous book is THE WOMEN BEHIND THE FEW (Biteback, 2023).
