In Mythologies Without End, Jerome Slater argues that US policies in the region are largely a product of mythologies that are often flatly wrong. For example, the Israelis' treatment of Palestinians after 1948 undermined its claim that it was a true democracy, and the argument that Arab states refused to negotiate with Israel for decades is simply untrue. Because of widespread acceptance of these myths in both the US and Israel, the consequences have been devastating to all of the involved parties.

Liberal democracy in America has always contained contradictions—most notably, a noble but abstract commitment to freedom, justice, and equality that, tragically, has seldom been realized in practice. While these contradictions have caused dissent and even violence, there was always an underlying and evolving solidarity drawn from the cultural resources of America’s “hybrid Enlightenment”. James Davison Hunter, who introduced the concept of “culture wars” 30 years ago, tells us in this new book that those historic sources of national solidarity have now largely dissolved.

Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?

Story
The Cuban Missile Crisis was perhaps the most dramatic and dangerous period of the Cold War. What's less well known is that the city of Miami, mere miles away, was a pivotal, though less well known, part of Cold War history. With its population of Communist exiles from Cuba, its strategic value for military operations, and its lax business laws, Miami was an ideal environment for espionage. Covert City tells the history of how the entire city of Miami was constructed in the image of the US-Cuba rivalry.

Story
When Elizabeth Neumann began her anti-terrorism career as part of President George W. Bush’s Homeland Security Counsel in the wake of the September 11 attacks, she expected to spend her life protecting her country from the threat of global terrorism. But as her career evolved, she began to perceive that the greatest threat to American security came not from religious fundamentalists in Afghanistan or Iraq but from white nationalists and radicalized religious fundamentalists within the very institution that was closest to her heart—the American evangelical church.

Story
Spanning the years of transition, 1944 to 1948, Ascent to Power illuminates Truman’s struggles to emerge as president in his own right. Yet, from a relatively unknown Missouri senator to the most powerful man on Earth, Truman’s legacy transcends. With his come-from-behind campaign in the fall of 1948, his courageous civil rights advocacy, and his role in liberating millions from militarist governments and brutal occupations, Truman’s decisions during these pivotal years changed the course of the world in ways so significant we live with them today.

Warum wir zynische Geldmacher, egomane Politiker und deren Lügen bekämpfen müssen. Die Welt steckt in der Endphase eines Kulturkampfs: Gier gegen Gerechtigkeit, Zerstörung gegen Nachhaltigkeit, Zynismus gegen Empathie. Nichts zeigt dies deutlicher als die Reaktionen auf die Klimakatastrophe: Hier jene, die versuchen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern, dort jene, die alles tun, um aus dem Verbrennen fossiler Stoffe Profit zu ziehen.

Story
Panowanie Elżbiety I wyznaczyło jeden z najświetniejszych okresów w historii Anglii. Narodziny przyszłej królowej rozczarowały jej ojca Henryka VIII, który pragnął męskiego potomka i nigdy się nie spodziewał, że jego córka będzie wybitną władczynią. Jej matka Anna Boleyn została stracona na szafocie, a droga samej Elżbiety na tron okazała się wyjątkowo trudna. Doskonale wykształcona, władająca kilkoma językami, zadziwiła niejednego zagranicznego dyplomatę. Charyzmą i intelektem uwodziła dosłownie wszystkich, niezależnie od płci.

Story
Beim Autor von Aufgewacht handelt es sich um einen 29-jährigen Polizisten, welcher im Jahre 2015 die Flüchtlingskrise hautnah miterlebte. Ursprünglich ein treuer Staatsdiener veranlasste ihn die Krise dazu, das System immer mehr zu hinterfragen. So fängt das Buch ganz gemach mit der Flüchtlingslüge an, um den Leser auf eine Reise durch Geopolitik, gefälschter Geschichte, das Geldsystem bis hinab in die finsteren Tiefen der geheimen CIA Mind-Control Experimente und der satanischen Elite zu nehmen.
