Reclaiming India
In India, the last few years have been marked by a consistent attack on the democratic matrix of our country. Constitutional and human rights of people, most notably--the fundamental right to equality, the right to live with dignity, to question the state and dissent--have been trampled with impunity. Institutions of oversight have been systematically emaciated, with the functioning of the Parliament gravely compromised.Rise of fascism and crony capitalism, and the concomitant increase in violence in society have had a devastating impact on the lives of people, especially those belonging to the Dalit, Adivasi, Muslim and other marginalised communities. The COVID-19 crisis too has exposed manifold the apathetic and anti-poor nature of the state.Amidst the oppression and intimidation, however, the country has witnessed strong peoples' movements against injustice and tyranny. In December 2019, people all over India rose to protect the Constitution when the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was brought in along with National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). Exactly one year after the CAA protests shook the country, millions of farmers took to the streets to protest against the anti-people farm laws passed by the Parliament.Reclaiming India: Views of Public Intellectuals is the culmination of a public lecture series organised by ANHAD in 2021-22; it hopes to start a conversation to explore the contours of a society that is more just, equal and aligned to the Constitutional values of liberty and fraternity. The lectures, on relevant themes by leading public intellectuals, as under, will provide an alternate vision for the country.
AI, Bitcoin, & Nostr for Women
Women today live inside systems that were not built to protect them. Phones, apps, banks, hospitals, and online platforms collect data, track movement, and make automated decisions that shape their lives, often without warning or explanation. When these systems tighten or fail, women feel the pressure first. This book gives women a clear, simple guide to understanding how these systems work and how to protect themselves. It explains how to strengthen digital boundaries, secure your devices and accounts, use AI safely, and recognize when data is being used against you. It also shows how Bitcoin can offer a small but real layer of financial independence, and how Nostr, a decentralized speech network, helps women speak freely without algorithmic punishment. Readers learn how to build "parallel power" through small income streams, secure identities, private communication, and daily habits that increase stability in an increasingly restrictive America. By the end of this book, women will feel more secure and less dependent on vulnerable systems. No technical skills are required. This is a calm, practical survival guide for women who want more control, more privacy, and more independence in a changing country.
Trump's Ten Commandments
In Trump's Ten Commandments, Yale leadership scholar Jeffrey Sonnenfeld pulls back the curtain on Donald Trump's rulebook for power--revealing the ten ruthless, repeatable strategies that explain how he conquers chaos, commands loyalty, and bends every arena to his will. Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox offers a provocative and penetrating look inside the mind of one of history's most controversial leaders. Written by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, celebrated Yale leadership scholar and advisor to five U.S. presidents, this book reveals the ten guiding principles--or "commandments"--that define Donald Trump's decision-making across business, media, and politics. Drawing from decades of personal interactions with Trump as advisor, critic, and confidant, Sonnenfeld moves beyond gossip and ideology to decode the predictable patterns behind Trump's seemingly chaotic style. There are critiques and salutes through history of the impact of the imperial presidency but no existing current or past analysis of how such leadership operates until this deep dive into Trump's toolkit. Sonnenfeld exposes how Trump's playbook--built on domination, disruption, and relentless self-promotion--breaks every conventional rule of leadership yet often achieves results through sheer force of will. From the boardroom to the Oval Office, Sonnenfeld distills lessons in power, persuasion, and performance--lessons that illuminate not only Trump's successes and failures but also timeless truths about human ambition, influence, and control. Whether you admire or abhor him, understanding Trump's Ten Commandments reveals how he built empires, dismantled institutions, and redefined leadership in his own image. Part insider analysis, part leadership case study, Trump's Ten Commandments helps readers grasp how Trump thinks, how he leads, and what his methods teach us--about both the dangers and the undeniable magnetism of power used without restraint. For anyone seeking to understand America's most unpredictable leader, this is the definitive guide to Trump's strategy, psychology, and legacy.
Keeping a Finger on the Button
Drawing on unmined archives and original interviews, Rebecca Lubot tells the story of how US lawmakers grappled with issues over presidential succession and inability and vice-presidential vacancy and ultimately ratified the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. She argues that nuclear anxiety played a crucial role in the development of the amendment and its aftereffects, showing how politics and culture reflected this anxiety, and multiple administrations intensified it. She also offers solutions to the amendment's gaps. As the threat of accident, miscalculation, or madness looms, never has a book on the intersection of presidential continuity and the nuclear age been more necessary.

The Essential John Derbyshire
The Essential John Derbyshire collects more than two decades of sometimes controversial and always incisive essays from one of the Right's most independent voices. This anthology charts the evolution of a writer who, like many of his generation, moved steadily away from mainstream conservatism toward a franker, more empirically grounded assessment of America and The West's most pressing questions around race, immigration, cultural decay, and the durability of our civilization. Derbyshire's signature wit and analytical fearlessness runs through every essay. From his now-infamous "Talk: Non-Black Version" to meditations on IQ and demographic change, Derbyshire confronts the topics that polite society insists be left untouched. Just as striking, however, are his reflections on the bureaucratic sclerosis of liberalism and the fraying of Anglo-American institutions under the pressure of mass democracy. Moreover, his essays on classical music, pop culture, and mathematics reveal the broader intellectual landscape of a cultivated and curious mind. Unapologetically honest and often ahead of his time, Derbyshire speaks to readers who are weary of ideological conformity and the polite fictions such conformity so often requires. However unfashionable its conclusions, The Essential John Derbyshire lives as both a record of cultural dissent in the age of conservative retreat and a model of moral and intellectual courage. It captures the full range of a writer unafraid to say what others merely think, one who has never mistaken social respectability for truth.
Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy
"William C. Spears presents a compelling case for Stoicism as the moral framework warriors need. I saw this firsthand during my service in the Marine Corps, at the CIA, and later as a senior official at the Pentagon. The core principles of Stoicism--discipline, resilience, knowing what matters--apply just as much on the battlefield as they do in the Situation Room at the White House. This is not just theory--it's a philosophy tested under pressure, and meant for those whose decisions have consequences measured in lives." - Michael "Mick" Mulroy, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East and senior fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center"If Stoicism seriously attracts your attention, you need a North Star. In the life of work William Spears has invested in this text, you have a resource that provides authentic, thorough guidance. He writes it in a wonderful manner that allows you to choose your own challenges, but with the tools included to have a 'best chance' of finding both methodology and reward. And when you master an aspect of Stoicism, it allows you to 'bite off' another piece of its life-sustaining wisdom and approach any challenge with confidence.Foreword by James B. Stockdale II - Can ancient philosophers really provide useful insights for the modern warfighter?- How might they reconcile cosmopolitan principles with patriotic duty?- Would a truly enlightened individual participate in the horrors of war? Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy grapples with these questions and more. Authored by a serving military professional, it breaks down the most advanced concepts of Stoicism into plain language without oversimplifying. Exhaustively researched, steeped in original sources, and informed by examples from the cutting edge of modern conflict, it builds upon ancient thinking to develop innovative theories of patriotic duty and ethical warfighting. While Stoicism has seen an explosion in popular interest, and is widely embraced in military culture, no serious philosophical work has yet explored its full implications within the military profession. This book answers that call. Endorsed by senior military officials and academic philosophers, Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy provides compelling and original contributions to both military ethics and the literature of modern Stoicism.
On Liberalism
A much-needed defense of liberalism--what it is, why it is under threat, and why we need it more than ever--from one of our most important political thinkers today. More than at any time since World War II, liberalism is under pressure, even siege. On the right, some have given up on liberalism. They hold it responsible for the collapse of the family and traditional values, rampant criminality, disrespect for authority, and widespread immorality. On the left, some are turning their backs on liberalism. They think that it lacks the resources to handle the problems posed by entrenched inequalities, racism, sexism, corporate power, and environmental degradation. But those opposed to liberalism do not depict it accurately; they offer a caricature, and they neglect its history. In On Liberalism, former advisor to Presidents Obama and Biden and New York Times-bestselling author Cass Sunstein offers a timely and clear understanding of liberalism--of its core commitments, of its breadth, of its internal debates, of its evolving character, of its promise--and why we need it more than ever. He also shows how and why liberalism has been, and should be, appealing to both the left and the right. The book begins with a manifesto on behalf of liberalism, and then goes on to explore the central idea of "experiments of living," to which a liberal constitutional order gives pride of place. From there, it discusses John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Hayek, defining liberal thinkers; the rule of law as liberals understand it; freedom of speech (including the place of lies and falsehoods within that freedom); free markets, economic liberty, and regulation; Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights, with its social and economic guarantees; and finally, the concept of opportunity. Never more urgently needed, On Liberalism moves the conversation well beyond the reductive and inflammatory political sound bites of our moment and advances a compelling argument on behalf of liberalism as the foundation of freedom and self-government.
The Last Men
A GRAVE WARNING THAT THE DECLINE OF THE WEST IS BIOLOGICAL, FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND HEALTH GURU DR. CHARLES CORNISH-DALE In The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, the Raw Egg Nationalist himself, Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale, delivers a provocative examination of the various biological and cultural forces eroding masculinity in contemporary society. Reinterpreting Francis Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man through this biological lens, Cornish-Dale contends that the modern "Last Man" isn't just a cultural archetype, but a physiological reality shaped by endocrine disruptors, processed food, and a political system hostile to masculine vitality. Beyond diagnosis, The Last Men offers solutions, from lifestyle interventions to broader political questions: Can masculinity survive under liberal democracy?
Make America Talk Again
It's time to Make America Talk Again. America has never had more ways to "connect," yet we've never been more divided, lonely, and silent. Civil discourse--once the lifeblood of democracy--has been replaced by a fear of losing friends and family, being ridiculed on social media, getting swatted by anonymous callers, or losing your job, all because of words you spoke. But silence is not safety. Silence is surrender. At nineteen years old, Brilyn Hollyhand has already seen how dangerous this culture of silence can be. Make America Talk Again is a roadmap and a declaration. We must look to the past to learn from history, so we can confidently move forward knowing that we are not doomed to repeat our mistakes. We must declare that there is a better way to live. To do this, we must Make America Talk Again. Each chapter describes a facet of culture and the problems therein. To solve the problem, we must understand it correctly, which means acknowledging how we got here, assessing whether it is worth fighting to overcome the problem, and agreeing on a solution. Hollyhand's prescription for each solution is to grow the reader's heart and mind by inspiring them with the wisdom of Ronald Reagan (the great communicator), who pointed us all to the courage and intellect of our founding fathers, who remarkably pointed us to the word of God. The goal is to encourage grandparents, parents, and young voters to take action before it's too late. This won't happen in Congress; it will happen in cafeterias, churches, and dinner tables, one conversation at a time. America is on the brink of cultural fracture because we've stopped talking. Hollyhand's story--that of a Gen Z kid who dared to speak from a bedroom microphone and ended up working for President Donald Trump--is living proof that one voice can spark a movement. This isn't just a book. It's a rallying cry for a generation that refuses to stay silent.
The Soul Of Democracy
The soul of democracy offers a philosophical exploration of the values that define true democracy, particularly in a world reshaped by war. The book enhances reflections on the moral responsibilities of individuals and nations as they grapple with the consequences of global conflict. It examines how the struggle for liberty must go beyond political systems, urging a deeper integration of democratic ideals into daily life. The narrative emphasizes the importance of personal integrity, social justice, and collective responsibility as essential elements for building a more humane and unified society. Through thoughtful analysis, the work highlights the tension between personal freedom and the greater good, encouraging a reevaluation of how democracy functions during times of crisis. It presents democracy as a living principle that must be continually renewed through ethical action and shared purpose. The text calls for resilience, compassion, and clarity as humanity seeks to rebuild and strengthen its commitment to justice and equality in the aftermath of war.
The Rise Of The Democracy
The rise of the democracy explores the gradual development of political democracy in England, beginning with early struggles against monarchical absolutism and landmark events such as the signing of the Magna Carta and the creation of parliamentary representation. It highlights the enduring fight for self-governance by the English people, focusing on key figures and movements that shaped democratic ideals. The narrative opens with an analysis of Britain's influence on global democratic movements, emphasizing how elected governance arose from centuries of opposition to tyranny. The work details the contributions of historical figures, including church leaders who laid foundations for constitutional liberties. It stresses that democracy in England evolved through practical reforms rather than grand political theories, marking a significant advancement in the pursuit of individual freedoms and collective governance. This account provides a comprehensive overview of how democracy took shape amid social and political challenges, underscoring the persistence and gradual nature of England s democratic progress.
Eternal Capitalist Trickery
The concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small predatory class, repeated crises, the inability of politicians to influence the course of events, worsening inequalities and the end of growth are the hallmarks of today's capitalism. Since the fall of communism, capitalism has had no competitors. Will it die one day? Not in the short term: the system is stronger than governments, its worst scoundrels enjoy widespread impunity, and while economists have little or no understanding of how it works, no clear alternative is emerging. Above all, no one seems to be seriously considering a fundamental reform of modern financial capitalism. So, do we have to live with it... or not? Curiously, a century earlier, this same situation had been analyzed by Nikolai Dimitrievich Kondratieff, a famous economist and a committed player in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Kondratieff was executed by Stalin in 1938 for having scientifically demonstrated the eternity of capitalism. Would he have the same opinion about capitalism today?
The Return of Great Powers
WITH A NEW AFTERWORDInstant New York Times Bestseller A Politico Top 10 Most Anticipated Book of 2024 A New York Times Notable Book A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "An absorbing account of 21st-century brinkmanship . . . . one that should be read by every legislator or presidential nominee sufficiently deluded to think that returning America to its isolationist past or making chummy with Putin is a viable option in today's world." -The New York Times Book Review Now in paperback, the essential book by CNN anchor and chief national security analyst Jim Sciutto, identifying a new, more uncertain global order with reporting on the frontlines of power from existing wars to looming ones across the globe. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dawned what Francis Fukuyama called "The End of History." Three decades later, Jim Sciutto said on CNN's air as the Ukraine war began, that we are living in a "1939 moment." The global order as we long have known it is now gone. Powerful nations are determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as their push for power escalates, a new order is affecting everyone across the globe. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a part of it, but in reality, this power struggle impacts every corner of our world--from Helsinki to Beijing, from Australia to the North Pole. This is a battle with many fronts: in the Arctic, in the oceans and across the skies, on man-made islands and redrawn maps, and in tech and cyberspace. Through globe-spanning, exclusive interviews with dozens of political, military, and intelligence leaders, Sciutto defines our times as a return of great power conflict, "a definitive break between the post-Cold War era and an entirely new and uncertain one." The Return of Great Powers analyzes a historic and visible shift in real time, detailing the realities of this post-post-Cold War era, the increasingly aligned Russian and Chinese governments, and the flashpoints of a new, global nuclear arms race. And it poses a question: As we consider uncertain, even terrifying, outcomes, will it be possible for the West and Russia and China to prevent a new World War?
Your Party
What if saving our democracy from collapse means abandoning traditional political parties altogether? What if there's a proven way to build movements that don't just fight - but win? From his prison cell, Roger Hallam - co-founder of Extinction Rebellion - distils decades of experience designing world-shaking campaigns into a guide for building political power. With rare clarity and a personal touch, he shows how concepts like negative dialectics and non-linear dynamics can be turned into organising victories for the new British Left. Drawing on struggles from California farm workers to Chilean popular sectors, Hallam reveals why so many movements fail - and what it really takes to win. The result is a revolutionary blueprint: uncompromising, rooted in lived experience, and charged with intellectual depth. A field guide for the 21st century - a call to action and a map for building the movements that can actually change the world.
The Future of Revolution
How might a twenty-first-century revolution against class society succeed? Communism comes from the future, but its hopes haunt our past. Reading revolutionary history from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising by the light of communist theory, from Marx to C. L. R. James, The Future of Revolution illuminates the possibilities for overcoming class society in the twenty-first century. When Marx wrote that the Paris Commune of 1871 showed that "the working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes," he identified a principle that will remain true as long as capitalism and its class antagonism persist. Historical revolutions reveal essential features of our communist horizon, which would-be revolutionaries, then as now, must negotiate one way or another. In chapters that move from a critical history of the workers' council to a reading of Marx's theory of value as an inverted description of communism, Jasper Bernes synthesizes from a history of failure the key criteria for success. He defines for our present moment the urgent mission of the world proletariat.
Religion and Power
A nation can feel holy without a single priest. A platform can preach without a single scripture. This book reveals how rulers, movements, and media turn belief into power-how rituals synchronise crowds, how stories harden into law, and how symbols become the quiet machinery of consent.

You'll learn how doctrine becomes discipline, how sacred calendars become political schedules, and how to test whether a law protects conscience or merely sanctifies control. By the last page, you won't just "spot bias"; you'll read power in liturgy, law, and code-and you'll know where to stand when belief asks for your loyalty.

On Resistance
From the writer Elle calls the "most inspiringly wicked social critic of the moment" comes a hands-on, don't-lose-hope study of how writers, painters, musicians, and other cultural figures respond to fascism ... From a veteran writer and activist comes a concise yet potent guide to standing up to the myriad tyrannies of our current political landscape. We live in a time where independent thinking, love of literature and ideas, and passion for human expression are all under attack from a ruthless and uncaring government and a culture that values only immediate gratification and digital flash. In On Resistance, Curtis White offers spiritual hope and intellectual fortification for those in despair about the bankruptcy of American life. Drawing on a range of books, films, essays, and artworks, White shows how our rich collective literary heritage gives us mental ammunition for our fight against the forces that would reduce us all to commodities and consumers. In doing so, he has penned a new classic in the noble history of American polemics.
Moving Beyond the Left: A Post-Left Post-Mortem in Pursuit of Freedom
Using an anti-authoritarian lens, this manifesto identifies the central obstacles of Leftism and provides suggestions for reimagining pathways to freedomIn a time of ideological confusion, growing authoritarianism and ecological collapse, the cyclical failures of Leftist frameworks to address these concerns have left many confused, heartbroken and jaded. While Leftist tendencies have served as vessels for poor or working-class individuals to respond to exploitation and domination, the "organized Left" and the many "revolutionary" lifestylists who associate themselves with it have largely opted for moral judgment over concrete action.Moving Beyond the Left unpacks and critiques the so-called "revolutionary Left," beginning first with its origins and the history of Black identity in Leftist North American politics, then dissecting interactions between Leftists and the Western morality politics of the "self" and "other." It insists that those who prioritize freedom should work toward a world beyond race, gender and other social constructs if they wish to confront the oppressive systems predicated on their existence.Z is cofounder of Black Socialists in America and 400,000,000, a developing federation of worker cooperatives.
The Contested Domain
"Drawing on Marxist theory and integrating a feminist perspective, Vogel offers a compelling critique of bourgeois society and women's oppression--a critique that not only advances theory, but also engages deeply with the historical and political conditions of social transformation" - Melda Yaman, İstanbul University "Already a key reference for understanding one of the major activists and thinkers of Marxist feminism ... A legacy from the twentieth century to the twenty-first!" - Aurore Koechlin, Universit矇 Paris 1 Panth矇on-Sorbonne Lise Vogel is a unique voice in feminist theory. This book collects her best essays, opening a window into the last half-century of US socialist feminism. A trailblazer in the 1970s, Vogel planted the seeds for contemporary Social Reproduction Theory with her 'unitary theory' of capitalist exploitation and the oppression of women. Along with others, she challenged established views within the academy and movement by insisting that Marxist theory can accommodate not only class, but also race and gender. Today, her work is more popular than ever, inspiring socialist feminists to develop inclusive liberatory ideas for the next generation. Selected from five decades of Vogel's work, including long out-of-print material, this volume is a crucial resource for readers interested in the intellectual history of Marxist feminism and twentieth-century activism. Lise Vogel is a feminist sociologist from the United States. She is the author of many books, including Marxism and the Oppression of Women: Toward a Unitary Theory. Kirstin Munro is an Assistant Professor of Economics at The New School for Social Research in New York and author of The Production of Everyday Life in Eco-Conscious Households.

Unqualified Reservations: Volume 2
The essential writings of Curtis Yarvin, aka Mencisu Moldbug, one the internet's most influential and controversial political thinkers. Between 2007 and 2013, a mysterious software engineer writing under the name Mencius Moldbug published a sprawling blog called Unqualified Reservations, a strange fusion of political philosophy, cultural critique, historiography, and right wing polemics never-before-seen in the contemporary American landscape. In what became the most intellectually explosive body of writing of the early internet age, these essays helped define what would later be called the "Neoreactionary" critique of modernity: a systematic dismantling of progressive orthodoxy and an audacious attempt to imagine the architecture of post-democratic order. Volume II brings together three of Moldbug's most influential texts. A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations serves as the perfect initiation to Moldbug's core themes, an elegant, wide-ranging labyrinth of reference and analysis that turns the language of liberal democracy inside out to reveal the Matrix-like operating system beneath. Patchwork: A Political System for the 21st Century builds on that critique by proposing a radical rethinking of sovereignty through the lens of technology, imagining a world divided into thousands of competing, privately governed jurisdictions, optimized for order and exit. Finally, Moldbug on Carlyle presents the Victorian writer Thomas Carlyle as the the first great opponent of egalitarian illusion and the sentimental moralism that sustains it. Collected here for the first time in print, these writings preserve one of the great intellectual detonations of the early blogosphere, whose incisive critiques and playful style still radiate outward from that first shockwave.
A Revolution of Common Sense
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Scott Jennings is a Patriot from the Great State of Kentucky... A Revolution of Common Sense was directly inspired by my Inaugural Address and the many Common Sense actions we have taken in our effort to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.... Scott totally gets it and, unlike the many Fake News books that are being written about my Administration, Scott's book will focus on the TRUTH about Team Trump and our Agenda." --President Donald J. TrumpAn unprecedented inside look at how President Donald Trump has re-taken Washington by storm in his historic second term, written with the participation of the President and his inner circle."A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right," Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense. In Washington, that habit became a way of life--where dysfunction, bloat, and bureaucratic failure were treated as business as usual. But Paine also reminded us: "We have it in our power to begin the world over again." That's exactly what Donald Trump set out to do in his second term--and what millions of Americans demanded when they sent him back to the White House.A Revolution of Common Sense is a tribute to that mission: a revolt against elite dogmas, a restoration of sanity in public life, and a reminder that America's best days aren't behind us.In these pages, CNN senior political commentator and Republican strategist Scott Jennings takes readers inside Trump's return to power--from scenes in the Oval Office and Air Force One to behind-the-curtain moments with the key players shaping the new agenda. Among them: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita, and Elon Musk.This isn't just a play-by-play of executive orders and media showdowns. It's a sharp, often surprising look at how Trump's second term moved fast, broke norms, and reframed the political debate around a single question: What makes sense?Scott Jennings has spent his career at the highest levels of Republican politics--and from his perch on CNN, slays liberal narratives on a nightly basis. With insight, clarity, and unmatched access, he tells the story not just of a presidency, but of a revolution. And of the Americans still fighting to see it through.
The Whistleblowers vs. the Big Guy
In this gripping account, IRS special agents-turned-whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler expose the shocking truth behind their investigation into the Biden family--and the powerful forces that tried to stop them. Shapley and Ziegler made headlines when they testified before Congress, revealing political interference, bureaucratic stonewalling, and outright obstruction in the Hunter Biden criminal case. Despite overwhelming evidence, they watched as the system bent to protect the powerful, with the IRS, FBI, and DOJ failing to act as independent institutions. Their investigation ultimately led to Hunter Biden's federal conviction. But in a stunning last-minute move, President Joe Biden pardoned his son--then went even further, issuing blanket pardons to other family members before leaving office. But this isn't just about Hunter Biden. It's about two public servants who risked everything to expose corruption. Facing retaliation, isolation, and intense public scrutiny, Shapley and Ziegler take readers inside the high-stakes battle between truth and power. Packed with never-before-revealed details and explosive insider accounts, The Whistleblowers vs. The Big Guy is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the system protects its own--and what it takes to fight back.

Letters to America
A Modern-Day Profiles in Courage from New York Times Bestselling Author Tom Blair In Letters to America, Tom Blair conjures up mini-memoirs of twelve fictional historical characters--spanning four centuries, from the first settlers in Jamestown to a 21st century billionaire. Whether going West in a wagon train or off to war to defend the nation, these past Americans suffered and sacrificed to achieve monumental goals. The events of the book ricochet between funny and sad, hopeful and doubtful, but a common theme runs through the letters: personal struggles to build a better life in America. Do we, modern Americans, have the work ethic and perseverance of our forefathers? By revealing the lives of these twelve indelible characters, Blair hopes to inspire readers to strive to gain personal success. The stories in each chapter reveal what it has meant to be an American throughout history--ranging from a single year in the life of Milly's sister, an unsophisticated and confused young girl toiling in a sweatshop, to an entire lifetime for John, a sharecropper's son who goes on to fight Nazis and ends life witnessing integration in the South. Blair's Letters to America is a compilation of voices each entirely distinct, weaving "an imaginative, sobering, and instructive message to contemporary Americans," according to Tom Brokaw. Featuring a brand-new preface from the author, all together these stories tell a history that is both humbling and deeply affecting, filled with hope for a future that can be as inspirational as our past.

The Dusk Codex
The Dusk Codex By Daniel Cyler The Dusk Codex is a sharp and unflinching examination of how power thrives in moments of fear. From ancient Rome to the digital present, Daniel Cyler maps the recurring pattern of crisis and control - the way temporary measures become permanent, and how obedience is sold as virtue. Through striking historical parallels and modern case studies, the book reveals how governments, corporations, and media shape narratives that justify authority. Wars, pandemics, financial collapses, and information control are not random disruptions - they are rehearsals that teach societies to live by permission. Written in precise, evocative prose, The Dusk Codex challenges readers to look beyond headlines and recognize the hidden rhythm of power that governs our age.It asks one essential question: Who benefits when the exception becomes the rule?
The Basics of American Government
The Basics of American Government is a collaborative effort among eight current and one former faculty members in the Departments of Political Science and Criminal Justice at University of North Georgia. The purpose of this book is to offer a no-frills, low-cost, yet comprehensive overview of the American political system for students taking introductory courses in American national government.Furthermore, the work combines the best aspects of both a traditional textbook and a reader in that most chapters offer a piece of original scholarship as a case study to bolster or reinforce the material presented in the chapter. In addition, many chapters present a civic engagement-type exercise and discussion questions intended to challenge, engage, and foster student participation in the political system.The authors undertook this project for several reasons, most notably the high costs of textbooks for students and the lack of college-level scholarship found in most American Government texts. This 470-page, peer-reviewed, edited book that combines traditional material with original scholarship will cost students $34.99, well below market standards. All of the authors are experienced classroom instructors, subject matter experts, and published researchers in the field of American politics.Contents: Theories of Democracy and Types of GovernmentThe U.S. ConstitutionFederalismPolitical Socialization and the Communications MediaInterest GroupsPolitical Parties, Voting, and ElectionsCongressThe PresidencyExecutive AgenciesThe Federal JudiciaryCivil Liberties and Civil RightsPublic PolicyState and Local GovernmentGeorgia Public PolicyU.S. Foreign Policy
Uncomfortable Truths
In an era where certain thoughts have become taboo and speaking obvious truths can end careers, this provocative collection of essays dares to challenge the prevailing narratives of our time. Through direct and unflinching analysis, the author examines the uncomfortable realities that many privately acknowledge but few are willing to discuss publicly. From the differences between men and women to the true roots of inequality, from personal responsibility to cultural relativism, each chapter tackles a "forbidden" topic with clear-eyed honesty. The author argues that our unwillingness to confront these basic truths - often out of fear of offense or social consequences - prevents us from solving real problems and achieving genuine progress. Written with both intellectual rigor and sardonic wit, this book is neither conservative nor progressive, but rather a call for intellectual honesty in an age of ideological conformity. It challenges readers to question their assumptions, confront uncomfortable realities, and consider whether our current approach to social issues is truly serving the greater good. Whether you find yourself nodding in agreement or recoiling in disagreement, this thought-provoking work will force you to examine your own beliefs and assumptions about modern society. It's an essential read for anyone concerned about the state of public discourse and the future of truth-telling in an increasingly polarized world.
Unapologetically American
Unapologetically American is not a memoir. It is a revelation-a field manual for the faithful who refuse to kneel.From Denmark's polished obedience to America's unfinished covenant, it traces how the serpent of control slithered from empires to algorithms, from global treaties to digital towers of technocracy. It reveals how the same powers that once ruled Babel now script the world through data, debt, and doctrine.Yet amid the systems of Babylon, the remnant still stands-the builders, the watchmen, the warriors. This book is their mirror and their weapon. It exposes how faith, liberty, and truth were dismantled-and how to rebuild what was stolen.History was never random. It was rehearsed.Unapologetically American tears the mask from the global machine, reveals the serpent's playbook, and reignites the covenant fire. It is prophecy with receipts-a manual for those who will not bow.The war for conscience has already begun. And once you see the pattern, you can never unsee it.---A manifesto for the uncensored. The unbowed. The unbroken.
Into the Wood Chipper
"A gripping page-turner that doubles as both a warning and an inspiration." --Samantha Power, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Problem from Hell A civil servant discovers his breaking point when the Trump administration's cruelty and indifference threaten to violate the oath he swore to uphold. Nicholas Enrich had finally achieved his lifelong dream: becoming USAID's lead official for global health. But that dream turned out to be a nightmare in the tumultuous time after President Trump's second inauguration. In the months that followed, USAID became the first target of Elon Musk's newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The mission to which Enrich had dedicated his career was being dismantled before his eyes--even the name of the agency was removed from the building's facade. Enrich witnessed firsthand the Trump administration's lies, how it systematically prevented USAID from providing lifesaving foreign aid, and the death and suffering around the world that resulted from careless decisions. Finally determining he could no longer keep quiet, and risking the career that he loved deeply, Enrich released a set of whistleblowing memos exposing the administration's illegal and destructive actions. Enrich was put on administrative leave, yet his memos went viral and had a sustained impact. In the days following their release, hundreds of canceled aid projects were revived, and the documents were cited in a Supreme Court case on the legality of USAID's dissolution. While his memos were too late to save USAID, Enrich was one of the first government officials to publicly blow the whistle on DOGE's reckless destruction, sounding an early alarm bell for other federal agencies that would soon find themselves in the crosshairs. Urgent and profoundly human, Enrich's story offers an astonishing behind-the-scenes look at a federal agency under siege, from the early days when Enrich and his team were unaware of what was to come to the shockingly ignorant, callous, and bigoted conversations they witnessed. Enrich reveals in this detailed, no-holds-barred account what was truly at stake when DOGE set out to dismantle one of America's most effective humanitarian institutions, and how millions of lives hung in the balance.
The Making of a Tyrant
Democracy rarely dies in a blaze; it is unpicked by people who believe they are voting for order. This book's distinctive claim is that the path from failed artist to F羹hrer can be understood as an engineering problem-how myth, media, crisis, and law were assembled into a working machine for manufacturing consent and dismantling checks from within. It interrogates unsettling dilemmas: Why do reasonable voters back unreasonable regimes? How does propaganda convert fear into obedience? When does legality become violence in slow motion? Drawing on political psychology, social history, media studies, institutional design, and moral philosophy, it treats Weimar as a live laboratory rather than a mausoleum. The book blends archival caselets, close readings of speeches, campaign logistics, policy memos, and "red-flag" diagnostics for readers-short reflection prompts and checklists that translate analysis into pattern recognition. By the end, readers gain a clear mental model-the Five Switches (Myth, Enemy, Emergency, Machine, Legalism)-and a disciplined habit for spotting lawful illegality early, interpreting it without melodrama, and acting before it hardens.- The Consent Machine - How Propaganda, Crisis, and Lawful Illegality End Democracies- Voting for Order - Why People Choose Strongmen and Unmake the Republic- The Autocrat's Method - Inside the Engineering of Hitler's Rise.

A Republic Burns
A modern democracy can keep its courts, its parties, even its elections-and still forget how to be free. This book follows the Weimar Republic collapse step by step, showing how Article 48 emergency powers became habit, how paramilitary politics replaced persuasion, and how respectable men convinced themselves that taming extremists was wiser than excluding them. It is a clear, unsentimental account of the rise of Nazism told through mechanisms, not myths.Written for readers who want rigour without jargon, it explains how economic shock, elite miscalculation, and aesthetic politics combined to turn law into an instrument of fear-from the Reichstag Fire to the Enabling Act. You will see why a celebrated Weimar constitution could not save a state governed by decrees, how Hindenburg and Papen mistook access for control, and why voters chose energy over expertise.- Understand the chain that links crisis to exception, exception to habit, and habit to regime- Learn the early signals of erosion in any system-fragmented coalitions, normalised emergency, and streets that act like parliaments- Gain a practical lens-drawn from Germany's Great Depression and its aftermath-for reading today's headlinesThis is for citizens, students, and leaders who ask not only "what happened?" but "what should I watch for now?" By the end, you will carry a tough, usable model of how democracies die-and a set of lessons for modern democracy that helps you recognise when the switch is being flipped from within.
The Sirens' Call
The #1 New York Times Bestseller - One of Barack Obama's Summer Reading List Picks From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and MSNBC and podcast host, a powerful wide-angle reckoning with how the assault from attention capitalism on our minds and our hearts has reordered our politics and the very fabric of our society "An ambitious analysis of how the trivial amusements offered by online life have degraded not only our selves but also our politics." --New York Times "Brilliant book . . . Reading it has made me change the way I work and think." --Rachel Maddow "A useful primer on how social media and the attention economy have warped our democracy and reshaped our lives." --Barack Obama We all feel it--the distraction, the loss of focus, the addictive focus on the wrong things for too long. Something has changed utterly: For most of human history, the boundary between public and private has been clear, at least in theory. Now, as Chris Hayes writes, "With the help of a few tech firms, we basically tore it down in about a decade." Hayes argues that we are in the midst of a transi­tion whose only parallel is that of labor in the nineteenth century: Attention has become a commodified resource extracted from us, and from which we are increasingly alienated. The Sirens' Call is the big-picture vision we urgently need to offer clarity and guidance. Sirens are designed to compel us, and now they are going off in our bedrooms and kitchens at all hours of the day and night, doing the bidding of vast empires, the most valuable companies in history, built on harvesting human attention. As Hayes shares, "Now our deepest neurological structures, human evolution­ary inheritances, and social impulses are in a habitat designed to prey upon, to cultivate, distort, or destroy that which most fundamentally makes us human." The Sirens' Call is the book that snaps everything into a single holistic frame­work so that we can wrest back control of our lives, our politics, and our future.
Injustice
An Instant New York Times Bestseller "An amazing piece of work . . . This is not just a series of newly reported anecdotes and pieces of information. It is a remarkable thesis about how Trump effectively broke the Justice Department in his first term by bullying it." --Rachel Maddow, The Rachel Maddow Show From Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis, a shocking investigation of unparalleled depth into the subversion of the Justice Department over the last decade, culminating in President Donald Trump upending this cornerstone of democracy and threatening America's rule of law as we have long known it Throughout his first administration, Trump did more than any other president to politicize the nation's top law enforcement agency, pressuring appointees to shield him, to target his enemies, and even to help him cling to power after his 2020 election defeat. The department, pressed into a defensive crouch, has never fully recovered. Injustice exposes not only the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the department at every turn but also how delays in investigating Trump's effort to overturn the will of voters under Attorney General Merrick Garland helped prevent the country from holding Trump accountable and enabled his return to power. With never-before-told accounts, Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis take readers inside as prosecutors convulsed over Trump's disdain for the rule of law, and FBI agents, the department's storied investigators, at times retreated in fear. They take you to the rooms where Special Counsel Jack Smith's team set off on an all-but-impossible race to investigate Trump for absconding with classified documents and waging an assault on democracy--and inside his prosecution's heroic and fateful choices that ultimately backfired. With a plethora of sources deeply embedded in the ranks of three presidencies, Leonnig and Davis reveal the daily war secretly waged for the soul of the department, how it has been shredded by propaganda and partisanship, and how--if the United States hopes to live on with its same form of government--Trump's war with the Justice Department will mark a turning point from which it will be hard to recover. Injustice is the jaw-dropping account of partisans and enablers undoing democracy, heroes still battling to preserve a nation governed by laws, and a call to action for those who believe in liberty and justice for all.

Balls
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER! Bestselling sports and politics commentator Clay Travis explains how Democrats are alienating men and why Trump really won. And it all comes back to sports. Democrats don't have a Trump problem. They have a man problem. And Trump was just the guy to exploit it. How did he do it? When it got right down to it, Trump had balls. And the Democrats didn't. This sharp, provocative, funny book breaks down how Trump used the woke intrusion into sports as his secret weapon to win over male voters. From Colin Kaepernick's protests, to men competing in women's sports, to Bud Light's collapse and ESPN's woke meltdown, Trump seized every opportunity to win over men as Democrats pushed them away. Even after surviving an assassination attempt, with his fist raised, Trump proved once again he was a fighter -- and America's men took notice. Clay Travis doesn't hold back. As the founder of the massively popular sports website Outkick, the co-host of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, and one of the most influential voices in sports and conservative media, he's interviewed Trump more than ten times--including on Air Force One. Now, Clay's bringing the unfiltered truth about why men turned on the Democrats--and why they're never coming back.
Nothing Left
A gripping story of political idealism, disillusionment, and new hope, Nothing Left exposes how the Democratic Party was hijacked by out-of-touch activists, coastal elitists, and powerful special interests. Packed with insider revelations and razor-sharp commentary, Evan Barker takes readers deep inside the machine to show how the party that once championed the working class lost its soul. Evan Barker had a bright future in Democratic politics. A prodigious fundraiser and relentless operator, Barker raised tens of millions of dollars for Democrat candidates. But in August 2024, standing on the floor of the Democratic National Convention, Barker hit her breaking point. In that moment, she saw what no one inside the party dared admit: the Democrats had lost their way, and there was no path back. Born into a union family in the Kansas City heartland with a rare genetic lung disease, Barker lived and breathed Democrat. The Democratic Party, she believed, was built to help people like her. But as she rose through the ranks, she saw a movement obsessed with moral posturing and identity politics rather than with the struggles of ordinary Americans. And when she spoke up, she became a target herself. Pulling back the curtain on the world of donors, strategists, politicians, and activists that runs the party, Nothing Left is a blistering, behind-the-scenes look at the party's transformation from working-class champion to elite echo chamber. Candid, fearless, and impossible to put down, it's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how American politics really works.
