American journalist and author William L. Shirer was a war correspondent for six years in Nazi Germany, having a front-row seat to Hitler’s rise in influence and power. His most definitive work on the subject, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, is a riveting account of life in the tyrannical state, a country transformed by war and dictatorship. The author was originally commissioned to write The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler for a young adult audience. This account loses none of the immediacy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich....

Chinese society has been shaped by the interplay of the EAST—exams, autocracy, stability, and technology—from ancient times through the present. Beginning with the Sui dynasty's introduction of the civil service exam, known as Keju, in 587 CE—and continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—Chinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices. But this uniformity came with a huge downside: stifled creativity.

In the annals of history, few events rival the gripping tragedy of Jerusalems destruction. Imagine if the entire Jewish nation had united in the fierce resistance mounted by a small faction against the formidable might of Rome; we would be left with a testament to unparalleled patriotism. Regrettably, the reality was starkly different. Beyond the valiant defenses of Jotapata and Gamala, the Jewish populace largely failed to mount a serious challenge against the Roman legions. The defenders of Jerusalem represented a mere sliver of its inhabitants, primarily composed of restless zealots and ...

Das Erstarken der politischen Ränder, Identitätspolitik, Migration, die Einschränkungen der Meinungsfreiheit und die Corona-Politik haben das Vertrauen in die Demokratie ausgehöhlt: Wolfgang Kubicki packt die drängendsten politischen Themen unserer Zeit bei der Wurzel und zeigt schonungslos auf, welche politischen Entscheidungen zum Verlust des Freiheitsgefühls geführt haben. Sein neues Buch ist eine liberale Kampfansage, ein Aufruf zur Rückkehr zu echten demokratischen Werten und zum Kampf für die Freiheit—auch wenn sie mit unbequemen Debatten verbunden ist.

Sometimes, we need accompaniment. Sometimes, we need to be met where we’re at by a caring voice of experience. Read This When Things Fall Apart is a care package for activists and organizers building power under fascistic, demoralizing conditions.
