Book Description
When Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in January 2021, few could imagine that a mere four months later he would be leading the club to victory in the UEFA Champions League final. Having inherited a misfiring team, he quickly remoulded them in his image, combining a spectacular attacking style of play with brilliant tactical thinking. But who is Thomas Tuchel? Fans of his former clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund would tell you he is one of the best football managers in the world. Innovator, tactician, superlative motivator and, sometimes, controversialist, Tuchel knows how to develop young players but also how to manage a dressing room full of superstars such as Neymar and Mbappé; and now Mount, Havertz and Werner. This is the definitive story of Thomas Tuchel and his footballing genius: from his beginnings as a football manager in Mainz to his successful but conflict-laden stint at Dortmund. From his glittering tenure at PSG, which was also marred by his fractious relationship with the club's hierarchy, to his arrival mid-season at Chelsea. This book introduces us to one of the most interesting figures in football today.

Hannah's War
Author: Jan Eliasberg
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316537454
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
A "mesmerizing" re-imagination of the final months of World War II (Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network), Hannah's War is an unforgettable love story about an exceptional woman and the dangerous power of her greatest discovery. Berlin, 1938. Groundbreaking physicist Dr. Hannah Weiss is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the 20th century: splitting the atom. She understands that the energy released by her discovery can power entire cities or destroy them. Hannah believes the weapon's creation will secure an end to future wars, but as a Jewish woman living under the harsh rule of the Third Reich, her research is belittled, overlooked, and eventually stolen by her German colleagues. Faced with an impossible choice, Hannah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of science's greatest achievement. New Mexico, 1945. Returning wounded and battered from the liberation of Paris, Major Jack Delaney arrives in the New Mexican desert with a mission: to catch a spy. Someone in the top-secret nuclear lab at Los Alamos has been leaking encoded equations to Hitler's scientists. Chief among Jack's suspects is the brilliant and mysterious Hannah Weiss, an exiled physicist lending her talent to J. Robert Oppenheimer's mission. All signs point to Hannah as the traitor, but over three days of interrogation that separate her lies from the truth, Jack will realize they have more in common than either one bargained for. Hannah's War is a thrilling wartime story of loyalty, truth, and the unforeseeable fallout of a single choice.
