David Grossman, da sempre convinto sostenitore di una coesistenza tra Israele e Palestina, non si è mai sottratto dal commentare e analizzare la complessa relazione tra i due popoli. Questo libro raccoglie alcuni degli interventi più urgenti e militanti, in cui Grossman analizza la parabola politica di Israele, guardando con occhio critico alle azioni del governo e della classe dirigente del suo Paese: un Paese che gli appare oggi più vulnerabile che mai, per colpa delle correnti estremiste e della decadenza di quei valori democratici che lo rendevano uno stato davvero ebraico.

Story
David Stockman, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Great Deformation, dissects Trump’s economic policies and exposes him as the failed businessman that he is—not a conservative and definitely not a Republican. The border wall, the tariff war with China, and Trump’s disastrous response to COVID-19 were all remarkably misguided failures of policy that hurt American prosperity. Even his claims of job creation fell flat too—Trump’s tenure was the only presidential term in which private payrolls in the US economy actually shrank—well, at least since Herbert Hoover!

Story
Яркая, полемичная, жесткая работа Ильина, впервые опубликованная в Берлине в 1925г., когда впечатления Гражданской войны и воспоминания об ужасах "красного террора" были у русской эмиграции еще болезненно свежи. В этом посвященном «белым воинам, носителям православного меча» труде властитель дум право-консервативного крыла Русского зарубежья решительно осуждает "непротивленческую" теорию Льва Толстого с ее "сентиментальным морализмом", проводит разграничение между собственно насилием как бессмысленным и жестоким угнетением и "заставлением" - т.е. осознанным и морально оправданным пресечением некоей вредной и опасной деятельности.

Story
The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader.

Story
A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues.

Como será o futuro pós coronavírus? Em seu novo audiolivro, Noam Chomsky alerta sobre as grandes ameaças à sobrevivência do planeta. Reconhecido como um dos principais intelectuais contemporâneos, defensor ferrenho da democracia e crítico da política externa dos Estados Unidos e do poder global das grandes corporações, Chomsky mostra-se preocupado com o futuro e explica detalhadamente o porquê. Segundo ele, os estados nacionais não têm mais a capacidade para controlar o futuro e preservar o planeta. Só movimentos populares vão conseguir acordos mundiais em defesa do clima e da paz.

Story
Canada Alone sketches the more dystopian future that is likely to result if the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement regains power. Under the twin stresses of a reinvigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership, the West will likely fracture, leaving Canadians all alone with an increasingly dysfunctional United States. Canada Alone outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.

Story
Die Frage, wem das Heilige Land gehört, ist heute aktueller denn je. Die Debatten zu diesem Thema sind oft von Ignoranz und starken Emotionen geprägt, noch immer verstellen Parteilichkeit und Machtinteressen den Blick auf die politische Lage im Nahen Osten. In seinem unentbehrlichen Standardwerk wagt es Michael Wolffsohn, an überkommenen Mythen und Vorurteilen zu rütteln. Umfassend und gut verständlich erklärt er die historischen Wurzeln des Konflikts zwischen Juden und Arabern, der bis in die Gegenwart nichts von seiner Brisanz verloren hat.

Was der Westen nicht wissen wollte: die brisante Analyse des "Außenministers der russischen Opposition". Unter Putin hat sich Russland zu einer imperialistischen Diktatur verwandelt, die die Werte und das Lebensmodell des Westens bedroht. Wie das passiert ist und warum Europa es bis zuletzt ignoriert hat - das analysiert Leonid Wolkow, ein enger Vertrauter des inhaftierten Dissidenten Alexei Nawalny. Anhand persönlicher Erfahrungen im Kampf gegen Korruption und Willkürherrschaft legt er die brutale imperialistische Dynamik in Putins Reich offen und zeigt, was man in Deutschland und Europa nicht wahrhaben wollte.
