Book Description
Hijacked! is the story of Alix Kerensky, a Jewish Russian émigré, who sets sail on an SS Infinity’s “Voyage of Discovery”—along with 250 American college students. In this love story and psychological “thriller,” the unthinkable occurs when the Georgetown University teaching ship is hijacked by Abu Ghazi and the men of Jabal an-Nar, a group of Palestinian terrorists. Hijacked!—a complex tale of Middle East politics, romance, and adventure—chronicles a momentous period in American history. It is a eulogy for an era. We travel from Spring, 2000, a time of American optimism and innocence, to September 15, 2001, four days after Osama bin Laden’s attack on New York’s World Trade Center—a time when Americans came to realize that they were facing an enemy more elusive, a war more intractable, and a world far more dangerous, than any they had imagined.

Book Description
A Financial Times Best Book of the Year "Brando’s Smile returns us to the power of his greatest performances." —Dan Chiasson, New York Review of Books When people think about Marlon Brando they think of the movie star, the hunk, the scandals. Here, Susan L. Mizruchi—who gained unprecedented access to Brando’s letters, audiotapes, revised screenplays, and books—reveals the complex man whose intelligence belies the high-school dropout. She shows how Brando’s embrace of foreign cultures and social outsiders led to his brilliant performances in unusual roles to test himself and to foster empathy in his audience.
