Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

As he observed this frenzy, investigative reporter Zeke Faux had a nagging question: Was it all just a confidence game of epic proportions?

What happens when you pack almost a dozen jails, bulging at the seams with society’s cast-offs, onto a spit of landfill purposefully hidden from public view? Prize-winning journalists Graham Rayman and Reuven Blau have spent two years interviewing more than 130 people comprising a broad cross section of lives touched by New York City's Rikers Island prison complex—from incarcerated people and their relatives, to officers, lawyers, and commissioners, with stories spanning the 1970s to the present day. The portrait that emerges calls into question the very nature of justice in America.

Publisher's summary
“Among the Bros is a harrowing and disturbing book. I have read about fraternity life but nothing like this. This book will blow your mind, each page digging deeper into the unimaginable. Except every word is true.”—Buzz Bissinger, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mosquito Bowl and Friday Night Lights
A brilliant young investigative journalist traces a murder and a multi-million-dollar drug ring, leading to an unprecedented look at elite American fraternity life.
When Max Marshall arrived on the campus of the College of Charleston in 2018, he hoped to investigate a small-time fraternity Xanax trafficking ring. Instead, he found a homicide, several student deaths, and millions of dollars circulating around the Deep South. He also opened up an elite world hidden to outsiders. Behind the pop culture cliches of “Greek life” lies one of the major breeding grounds of American power: 80 percent of Fortune 500 executives, 85 percent of Supreme Court justices, and all but four presidents since 1825 have been fraternity members. With unprecedented immersion, this book takes insiders inside that bubble.
Under the live oaks and Spanish moss of Travel + Leisure’s “Most Beautiful Campus in America,” Marshall traces several “C of C” boys’ journeys from fraternity pledges to interstate drug traffickers. The result is a true-life story of hubris, status, money, drugs, and murder—one that lifts a curtain on an ecstatic and disturbing way of life. With expert pacing and a cool eye, he follows a never-ending party that continues after funerals and mass arrests.
An addictive and haunting portrait of tomorrow’s American establishment, Among the Bros is nonfiction storytelling at its finest.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell--and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

Standing in their way: NASA, the White House, Congress, rivals in academia, and even Jupiter itself. Written with verve, humor, and uncanny empathy, The Mission is an exuberant masterclass in how a few determined cogs can change an entire machine.

Trust me: the world doesn’t need a bunch of BFFs with beards. I’ve watched men change from confident, decisive, and action-oriented lions to second-guessing, scared-of-their-shadows, don’t-rock-the-boat mice. They don’t feel confident in relationships, work environments - or anywhere. Men are either looking for something or running from something; maybe a bit of both. Well, it’s time to stop running. It’s time to "man up" to face the real issues.

Great reporting
Great reporting in this book. Wish the author had read it, though. Voice actors are distracting. This one wasn’t too bad, but he mispronounced a few things.
I’m from SC and remember when Patrick Moffly was killed, but I didn’t know the rest of the story. Crazy! Great police work and great reporting.

Fascinating story, not bad but not the best reading
The story is captivating and fascinating, in many ways shocking. I would recommend. My only complaint would be the reader didn’t know how to pronounce several of the shorthand abbreviations he found in text messages and some brand names. For example, he would pronounce “LOL” as “lull” instead of “L O L” or “laughing out loud”. Obviously this is nothing major. Certainly not enough to pass on listening to the book. I only comment in the hopes it helps them “get it right” on the next reading.

Interesting Read.
I thought this was a fascinating read. My husband tried to listen but couldn’t get over the boring narrator.

I realize how naive I am now…
I loved this book. It’s pretty crazy to me that these types of things go on and almost no one gets held accountable. (Zach’s dad must have some kind of hold on the judges in their state. #darkmoney) I definitely felt sympathy for Mikey but it makes me realize that lots of money creates much worse problems for children than most anything else. Do these parents honestly have no idea how their kids got such fancy cars? Or do they know and think it’s no big deal…there in lies the problem.

Unexpected - Empathetic
I am a fan of true crime and sought to listen to this book and learn more about fraternity life in the south. The author is uniquely positioned to tell this story as a former fraternity member. I found this to be a compelling, complex, and insightful perspective. The men in the story were not made out to be saints or sinner, they seem to be victims of a larger and more insidious culture of drug abuse.

Accidentally hilarious, heartfelt, and interesting
Hearing a middle-aged, southern voice actor have to verbatim read sorority text messages is absolutely hilarious. But seriously, fantastic story, well written, gets a little muddy on the details and timeline about 75% into the book but it comes back around

Not very brotherly story.
It blew me away. Why kids would do this…it’s a different generation. when I was in college. I was in a fraternity if you got caught doing any drugs it was a suspension and then expulsion. I’m sure it was going on but I never saw it back in my days in the late 80s. sad to hear. Joining a fraternity for some is a great way of making lifelong friends. Sounds like these guys join for different reasons.
