For the Glory: Eric Liddell’s Journey from
Olympic Champion to Modern Martyr
by Duncan Hamilton
#UM1402
Hardcover, 388 pages; 2016
$28.00
If you’ve seen the Academy Award–winning film
Chariots of Fire
, you
may think you know the story of Olympic runner Eric Liddell. But
this inspiring biography goes far beyond the scope of that movie to tell
his extraordinary tale. Born in China to Scottish missionaries, Liddell
sprinted to fame in the 1924 Paris Olympics, earning renown both for
his gold-medal performance and for his staunch refusal to compete on
Sundays. And though Olympic endorsements in the 1920s weren’t as
lucrative as they are today, Liddell’s decision to step off the track and
return as a missionary to the land of his birth shocked the sports world.
Yet the discipline, strength, and quiet humility that helped to make Liddell an Olympic champion
were the same traits that guided his work with children and the poor in war-torn China. And
when he was imprisoned by the occupying Japanese in a work camp, Liddell’s devotion to his
faith and his fellow man—even the prison guards—earned him more respect than a hundred
Olympic gold medals ever could. It’s a compelling, remarkable story you won’t soon forget.

Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated
Biography
by Richard Sylla
#UM2582
Hardcover, 272 pages; 2016
$35.00
A decade after historian Darren Staloff
called him the “least loved founding father,”
Alexander Hamilton’s legacy has enjoyed a
surge in popular interest, largely due to the
wildly successful Broadway musical about
his life. For those who can’t get enough of
the revolutionary statesman—and for anyone who enjoys
American history and/or fascinating life stories—this lively
and generously illustrated biography will garner rave reviews!
Richard Sylla, Hamilton scholar and chairman of the Museum
of American Finance, illuminates the personal challenges,
professional milestones, and lasting historic contributions of
the student/soldier/lawyer/finance minister/politician—from his
tumultuous childhood in the West Indies to his dramatic death at
the hands of Vice President Aaron Burr. Reproductions of period artwork, newspaper clippings,
political cartoons, and relevant documents enrich the informative text and, as an added bonus,
the back of the dust jacket is printed with a frameable antique map of New York! It’s a fitting
tribute to the complex genius credited with modernizing the nation.
