CATCH AND KILL
Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators
In this newly updated edition of the “meticulous and devastating” (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from elite spies to high-priced lawyers, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family, tracking his every move, and threatening his career. This is the untold story of the surveillance and intimidation tactics deployed by wealthy, well-connected men to threaten journalists, silence victims, and evade accountability – from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. It’s also the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and ignite a global movement.
Now, an HBO documentary series is streaming on HBO Max.

WAR ON PEACE
The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence
American diplomacy is under siege. Offices across our Capitol sit empty, while abroad, the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. The result is a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.
Through this harrowing exploration of the collapse of American diplomacy and the abdication of global leadership, Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood developments in American history. The acclaimed journalist and former diplomat draws on his experience in the State Department by affording a personal look at some of the last standard-bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan. In an astonishing account spanning Washington, DC, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Korea, Farrow crafts a gripping narrative richly informed by interviews with whistle-blowers, policymakers, and a warlord, including prominent figures like Henry Kissinger and Hillary Clinton. Diplomacy, he argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice. But it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.
