Distant Friends and Intimate Enemies
This bold, sweeping history of the turbulent American-Russian relationship is unique in being written jointly by American and Russian authors. David Foglesong, Ivan Kurilla and Victoria Zhuravleva together reveal how and why America and Russia shifted from being warm friends and even tacit allies to being ideological rivals, geopolitical adversaries, and demonic foils used in the construction or affirmation of their national identities. As well as examining diplomatic, economic, and military interactions between the two countries, they illuminate how filmmakers, cartoonists, writers, missionaries and political activists have admired, disparaged, lionized, envied, satirized, loved, and hated people in the other land. The book shows how the stories they told and the images they created have shaped how the two countries have understood each other from the eighteenth century to the present and how often their violent clashes have arisen from mutual misunderstanding and misrepresentations.
Mind Viruses
America's decline from Cold War victor to "a house divided against itself" is not the result of external threats, but of irrational beliefs that spread like contagions, sickening "We the People" while enriching special interests that profit from fear and division. In 1957, the Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, warned about "subversive minorities" in the West who are animated by "chimerical wish fantasies" that may rapidly spread and develop into "psychic epidemics." In 1984, the KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov, warned of the danger of "ideological subversion," which he defined as "changing the perception of reality to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their communities, and their country." In recent years, the American public forum has been afflicted with a host of irrational ideas that possess the minds of believers, distorting their perceptions and rendering them unable to think about complex problems. Instead of calm discussion, they are given to emotional outbursts and violent behavior. Critical thinking is replaced by mindless slogans and extreme, either-or propositions. During the pandemic, the COVID-19 vaccine was idolized as the liberator and savior of mankind, despite its failure to prevent infection. Similar "faith communities" have coalesced around the issues of racism, transgender medicine, Ukrainian nationalism, and climate change. Mind Viruses: America's Irrational Obsessions examines the people, events, and interests that have produced these mental contagions that imperil our constitutional republic.
On Freedom
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A "visionary" (The Guardian) exploration of freedom--what it is, how it's been misunderstood, and why it's our only chance for survival--by the acclaimed Yale historian and author of On Tyranny "[Snyder's] deep political and philosophical examination of how to . . . create and sustain freedom provides a hopeful view for the future."--Los Angeles Times Timothy Snyder has been called "the leading interpreter of our dark times." As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarianism here and abroad. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Now, in this tour de force of political philosophy, he helps us see exactly what we're fighting for. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means--and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we're free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn't so much freedom from as freedom to--the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. On Freedom takes us on a thrilling intellectual journey. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences coming of age in a time of American exceptionalism, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes--the habits of mind--that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions (championed by the right) but also the role of institutions (the purview of the left). Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace.
Rewiring Democracy
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Hacker's Mind and Data & Goliath, an informative and wide-ranging exploration of how AI will alter every facet of democracy, and how to harness the technology to distribute rather than concentrate power. AI is changing democracy. We still get to decide how. AI's impact on democracy will go far beyond headline-grabbing political deepfakes and automated misinformation. Everywhere it will be used, it will create risks and opportunities to shake up long-standing power structures. In this highly readable and advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy--for both good and ill. The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution. Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures. Democracy is facing new challenges worldwide, and AI has become a part of that. It can inform, empower, and engage citizens. It can also disinform, disempower, and disengage them. The choice is up to us. Schneier and Sanders blaze the path forward, showing us how we can use AI to make democracy stronger and more participatory.

The Transcendence Manifesto
The Transcendence Manifesto -"A Secular Gospel"Offering salvation through consciousness, this book asks the question: What is it to be a species capable of self-awareness and choice? It asks us if evolution, rather than revolution, is the key to overcoming oppressive systems and unlock an idyllic anarchist society."All of nature hitherto man can be defined by an evolutionary struggle"The struggle existed before humanity, for each creature had been embroiled in a battle for survival, yet now a post-struggle consciousness has evolved and could render the struggle redundant and its transcendence a possibility; If only we embrace the higher, more conscious side of our nature."A Practical Guide to Utopia"The book offers practical steps, from self-improvement to community building, from understanding political theory to building an off-grid commune. You'll learn about saving money, marketing a resistance movement, growing your own food, the art of post-dogma anarchism, and much more.Author Bio: Stafford Taylor is an anarchist with an interest in behavioural and evolutionary psychology.

Fat Leonard
#1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock's "masterly investigation into one of the Navy's worst scandals" (The New York Times). All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis--either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia's swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom P矇rignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women. On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn't realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals' noses and compromising national security. Based on reams of confidential documents--including the blackmail files that Francis kept on Navy officers--Fat Leonard is the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con man and a captivating testament to the corrosive influence of greed within the ranks of the American military.
Interference
Interference uncovers the explosive revelations of the Mueller investigation, detailing the behind-the-scenes efforts to expose Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election to favor Donald Trump and the ways Trump interfered in the ongoing investigation, as recounted by Robert Mueller's closest colleagues, and including an introduction by Mueller himself. The team also shares new and important insights about the role of a special counsel and a criminal investigation in holding a president accountable. Interference is the "essential" (Kirkus Reviews) true history of the most important and consequential decisions, obstacles, and quandaries Mueller and his team faced when investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. For the first time, Mueller's only deputy, his most senior counselor who served on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and the lead prosecutor looking into obstruction of justice and Russian interference, have come together to tell a highly relevant and readable account of their investigation into election interference and the connections between various Russians and members of the 2016 Trump campaign. Mueller himself wrote the book's preface. Interference highlights the many actions Russia took as it favored candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, offering a powerful reminder of how committed Russia was to influence the election outcome. Ultimately, the special counsel brought indictments against thirty-four individuals and entities, including Trump's campaign chairman; his deputy campaign chairman; a campaign advisor; his first national security advisor; a longtime Trump associate; and over two-dozen Russian nationals. Every case that was able to proceed to a conclusion resulted in a guilty verdict or plea. Interference explains the motivations and actions of Russia (which has not stopped exploiting American weaknesses), the importance and limitations of a special counsel, and the urgent need for people to make principled decisions even when being pushed from all directions not to do so. Much can be learned from the experiences faced by Mueller's team as they broke ground on some of the most complicated challenges facing our country--then and now. Their findings are essential to an understanding of America's current struggle to preserve the rule of law and strike the balance between presidential immunity and presidential accountability. The narrative carries special relevance following the Supreme Court's 2024 decision granting broad immunity to a president, a decision that sharply limits the conduct for which a president can be prosecuted--or even investigated.
The China Matrix
The U.S. ruling class sold out America to China. Can Donald Trump destroy the alliance before it's too late? For half a century, America's establishment has forged an alliance with the Chinese Communist Party--one that enriched elites, hollowed out the middle class, and imperiled U.S. national security. They sold out American workers for cheap labor, Wall Street profits, and political power. But then came Donald Trump. In The China Matrix, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order--at America's expense. From Henry Kissinger's secret deals with Mao to the tech oligarchs cozying up to Xi Jinping, Smith exposes the web of corruption and betrayal that spans decades. He reveals how globalism, Silicon Valley, and the media worked together to whitewash China's crimes while dismantling American industry and national security. But this is also a story of resistance. Smith chronicles how Trump's presidency shattered the illusion of a benign China, forcing the establishment to confront the consequences of their own greed. From trade wars to TikTok, fentanyl to finance, The China Matrix details the battle between America First and the entrenched pro-China elite--and what's at stake in the next chapter of this global showdown. With stunning new revelations about Elon Musk's growing influence, Joe Biden's China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing's espionage network, The China Matrix is a gripping expos矇 of the most dangerous alliance in modern history--and the fight to break free before time runs out.

Socialism, Capitalism, and Democracy
In an era of heightened political polarization, "Socialism, Capitalism & Democracy" offers voters a clear-eyed primer on competing economic philosophies shaping American governance. Tom Lewellen cuts through partisan rhetoric to illuminate how Socialist and Capitalist approaches influence everything from property rights and market competition to government accountability and personal freedom. Drawing on insights from Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Joseph Schumpeter, Lewellen examines how these principles manifest in real-world policies affecting education, retirement, healthcare, and poverty reduction. The book reveals why some government programs succeed while others fail to meet objectives despite massive spending. Rather than advocating for either extreme, Lewellen proposes a middle path featuring evidence-based governance-a system that tests hypotheses, measures outcomes, and adapts when programs underperform. His proposed "CIVIL Governance" platform offers ten transformative reforms designed to increase economic growth, improve government efficiency, and bridge partisan divides. Written for the common voter but rich with economic insights, this accessible exploration exposes how America's oscillation between competing governance models has hampered growth and created unsustainable systems. With China's economic ascendance looming, Lewellen presents a compelling case for transforming America's approach to governance before it's too late.

What Conservatives Believe
A New York Times Most Anticipated Book of 2026 What do conservatives actually believe? In this powerful and inspiring manifesto, New York Times bestselling author and former Vice President Mike Pence pens a 21st-century version of The Conscience of a Conservative. With candid insights after decades as a happy warrior in the movement, Pence convincingly explains why the Republican Party must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Conservatives know that wisdom often begins by consulting the people who came before us. As Barry Goldwater wrote, conservative principles persist because they are rooted in the truth. But this isn't just a book about the past. It's about how time-tested conservative principles can be applied to the problems of tomorrow. Pence explains why conservatives believe our rights come from God and then articulates conservative positions on the right to life, limited government, law and order, economic freedom, the national debt, federalism, patriotic education, the traditional family, peace through strength, and standing with Israel, among many other issues--as well as the virtues of character, civility, and statesmanship in our politics. Few politicians have the strength of character of former Congressman, Governor, and Vice President Pence. Pence is the standard bearer for true conservative values at a time when many readers and voters no longer understand what it means to be a conservative, or why conservative values are so important. In What Conservatives Believe, Pence writes about the importance of conservatism with authority, respect, and candor. As he's fond of saying, "I'm a conservative but I'm not in a bad mood about it." A true statesman and leader, Pence defines conservatism for a new generation in what promises to become a timeless conservative classic.

Invisible Rulers
An eye-opening look at the small communities of propagandists revolutionizing politics, culture, and society "Essential and riveting reading." --Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation Invisible Rulers is about a profound transformation in power and influence that is altering our politics, our government, and even our relationships with friends and neighbors. Today, online propagandists increasingly shape public opinion and control our relationship to the truth. Our shared reality has splintered into discrete bespoke realities driven by algorithms, influencers, and curated content. Very little can bridge the divide, making democratic consensus nearly impossible to achieve. Ren矇e DiResta exposes how these propagandists and their followers undermine the institutions that make society work, from anti-vaccine zealots who flood social media with fringe viewpoints to political influencers who use AI-generated images to manipulate our perception of reality. She also provides readers with a conception of civics that helps us understand and fight back against these new invisible rulers.
Freedom of Expression Under Fire
How can we rebuild a culture of free expression? As America approaches its 250th anniversary, free speech and press freedom face unprecedented threats from campus censorship, social media content moderation, and government pressure campaigns. From college students afraid to voice opinions in class to journalists facing investigations, the First Amendment foundations of American democracy are under multiple threats in ways the Founders never imagined. Stuart N. Brotman, America's leading public scholar on free expression, takes complex constitutional issues out of academic ivory towers and makes them accessible to everyday Americans navigating these turbulent times. Having served on the faculties of leading universities at home and abroad, and on legal teams in notable Supreme Court cases, Brotman provides insider insights into how campus speech policies backfire, why tech platforms make controversial content decisions, and what happens when governments attempt to regulate on-air and online expression. Perfect for readers of The Constitution of Knowledge by Jonathan Rauch and The Fight for Free Speech by Ian Rosenberg, this urgent examination reveals why protecting constitutional rights requires more than legal victories--it demands rebuilding a durable free expression culture that values open debate. From landmark Pentagon Papers to contemporary social media controversies, from campus free speech conflicts to global internet freedom battles, Brotman shows how historical lessons can guide us through current challenges. As America 250 celebrations begin, discover why free expression isn't just about protecting rights--it's about safeguarding the democratic experiment itself for future generations.

False Promises
Brings to life the struggle for Black suffrage in nineteenth-century OhioIn False Promises, the fight for Black voting rights in Ohio comes alive through narratives of men of color who defied the state's nineteenth-century restrictions on suffrage. Though ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment ostensibly extended the franchise, state election laws still forced men of color into a perilous struggle for full citizenship. Ric S. Sheffield depicts their courage and determination, revealing their humanity through stories of sacrifice, resistance, and hope. Drawing on Saidiya Hartman's concept of critical fabulation, Sheffield weaves together historical records with imaginative reconstructions of dialogue, setting, and descriptive elements beyond the dusty courthouse pages. Grounded in archival evidence yet reimagined to fill in the silences, these stories recount the lived experiences of those who risked everything to exercise their right to vote.False Promises also connects these historical battles to the present, illustrating how voter-suppression tactics in today's Ohio have roots in the racial exclusions of the nineteenth century. By exposing the enduring legacy of white supremacist policies, the book challenges the widespread misconception that racial disenfranchisement was solely a southern problem. Ohio's complex racial history--noted for its role in the Underground Railroad but also for its repressive Black Laws--also includes a fierce and ongoing struggle over the right to vote. Through compelling storytelling, historical analysis, and a reclamation of voices lost to history, False Promises urges readers to reconsider their understanding of democracy and the right to vote.
Tulsa Speaks
In 2021, the international media descended upon Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the centennial commemoration of the May 31-June 1, 1921, massacre in which a white mob killed more than three hundred African American residents, burned homes and businesses, and decimated a thriving town once referred to as "Black Wall Street." Tulsa Speaks is about the ongoing work of the Tulsa City Council, both before the Centennial and afterward, when the cameras were no longer trained on the city. It dives deep into the interpersonal dynamics among the nine councilors, exploring the continuing fight for reparations and racial justice and the long-running efforts of the sole African American councilor, Vanessa Hall-Harper of District 1, to bring repair to Greenwood.Tulsa, like many municipal bodies across the country, serves as a hopeful sign of what we might become, as Americans and as a microcosm of race relations in America today.
The Broken China Dream
A provocative book that demystifies China's great democratic leap backward under Xi Jinping, revealing why the country's embrace of capitalism has given rise to hard authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and one-man rule instead of democracy as many in the West had hoped When China embarked on its transformative journey of modernization in 1979, many believed the country's turn toward capitalism would put its totalitarian past to rest and mark the birth of a democratic, open society. Instead, China reverted to a neo-totalitarian state, one backed by one of the fastest-growing, most formidable economies on earth. The Broken China Dream pulls back the curtain on the regime of strongman Xi Jinping, revealing why the reforms of the post-Mao era have been reversed on nearly every front--and why the world failed to see it coming. Exposing the truth behind China's economic ascendency after the Cultural Revolution, Minxin Pei shows how, following Mao's death in 1976, Deng Xiaoping strategically deployed the tools of capitalism to preserve the Chinese Communist Party. Deng kept intact the institutional foundations of totalitarianism even as he unleashed private entrepreneurship and courted foreign investment, giving China's one-party state control of a vast repressive apparatus and the most critical sectors of the economy. Only a fragile balance of power among dueling factions prevented the rise of a totalitarian leader in the two decades after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989--but this temporary equilibrium collapsed. Essential to understanding today's China, this meticulously researched book is a sobering account of why the country's reformers and institutions could not stop a shrewd and ruthless politician like Xi from resurrecting dormant totalitarian practices that, for the foreseeable future, have spelled the end of the dream of a free and prosperous China.
The Federalist Papers
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF ALL TIME Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote this collection of eighty-five articles and essays in favor of ratifying the United States Constitution in 1787. Under the pseudonym "Publius." they first appeared as a series of letters which were sent to New York newspapers and were intended to explain the complexities of a constitutional government-its political structure and principles based on the inherent rights of man and to influence the vote in favor of ratifying the new Constitution. Scholars regard this work as a milestone in political science and a classic of American political theory. The authors were three of the greatest politicians and political thinkers in United States history. James Madison is generally credited as the father of the Constitution and became the fourth president of the United States. Alexander Hamilton was an active delegate at the Constitutional Convention, and became the first Secretary of the Treasury. John Jay, helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris of 1783 ending the American Revolution and after winning British recognition of American independence, he became the first Chief Justice of the United States. Though centuries old, these essays remain the benchmark of American political philosophy and political science. As eloquently stated by famed historian Richard B. Morris, The Federalist Papers serve as an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer."
1992 The Year That Shaped the World We Live In
1992A year so groundbreaking and pivotal that its impact is still being felt over thirty years later.Events as diverse as the end of the Cold War to the explosion of the Grunge Rock scene in Seattle, the horrors of ethnic cleansing in the Bosnian War, the anguish of the Rodney King Riots, and more, all combine to make this the most consequential year in recent history. In a subject that has rarely, if ever, been thoroughly examined, author Matthew Smith examines six crucial events and makes the case for how they directly affect the world we live in. Societal issues such as police brutality and international ones such as the fight against climate change and how the world responds to humanitarian crises are all rooted in the events of 1992. Compelling personalities from Ross Perot, Kurt Cobain, Boris Yeltsin, and Dr. Mae C. Jemison to more sinister ones such as Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are examined in great detail. The reader is in for a roller coaster ride that spans "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from Nirvana to Rodney King pleading, "Can we all just get along?" The reader will walk away with many impressions, and boring will not be one of them.

American Decline
In "American Decline", Father Innocent Emechete delivers a passionate examination of America's cultural and moral transformation from a nation firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values to one increasingly defined by secularism, moral relativism, and progressive politics. Drawing from his unique perspective as a Catholic priest with experience in both Nigeria and the United States, Emechete traces America's journey from the post-WWII era of traditional values through the societal upheavals of the 1960s to today's conflicts over abortion, LGBTQ+ issues, and religious expression in public life. He argues that the removal of God from America's schools, families, and public discourse has directly contributed to increasing rates of crime, addiction, homelessness, and moral confusion. With unflinching criticism of progressive policies and what he sees as the damaging effects of "political correctness," Emechete challenges readers to consider how America might return to what he views as its founding principles. His analysis covers hot-button issues including transgender rights, education policies, the breakdown of traditional families, and the proper role of government in addressing social problems. This unapologetically conservative Christian critique offers a counterpoint to progressive narratives about American culture and provides a rallying cry for those who believe America's future depends on reclaiming its religious heritage and traditional moral framework. If you enjoyed "The Right Side of History" by Ben Shapiro, "The Death of Right and Wrong" by Tammy Bruce, or "How the West Really Lost God" by Mary Eberstadt, you'll love "American Decline".

U.S. Allies and the Taiwan Strait
Against the backdrop of worsening tensions across the Taiwan Strait, this Element analyzes the positions and policies vis-?-vis Taiwan of six major democratic US treaty allies-Japan, Australia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany-and the European Union. Historically and today, these US partners have exercised far greater agency supporting Taiwan's international space and cross-Strait stability-in key instances even blazing early trails Washington would later follow-than the overwhelmingly US-centric academic and policy discourse generally suggests. Decades ago, each crafted an intentionally ambiguous official position regarding Taiwan's status that effectively granted subsequent political leaders considerable flexibility to operationalize their government's 'One China' policy and officially 'unofficial' relationship with Taiwan. Today, intensifying cross-Strait frictions ensure that US allies' policy choices will remain critical factors affecting the status quo's sustainability and democratic Taiwan's continued viability as an autonomous international actor.

Rights and Freedoms in Peril
In this "must read for anyone who cares deeply about the future of this country" (Tom Homan, former director of ICE) from Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton, the progressive movement's efforts to dismantle the venerable institutions of American rights and freedoms are explored in exhaustive detail. Since the release of bestselling author Tom Fitton's third book, A Republic Under Assault, the Left has taken extraordinary steps to eradicate American liberty, motivated by a radical ideology whose adherents occupy the nation's highest offices. In this "powerful, eye-opening expos矇" (Kash Patel, former chief of staff to the US secretary of defense), Fitton details a long chain of abuses officials and politicians have made against the American people and calls readers to battle for the soul and survival of America. Fitton and his team at Judicial Watch march us to the front lines where the progressive movement threatens America's most venerable institutions, undermining the core principles that make this country a beacon of hope to the world. The Left has declared war on everything from the rule of law to colorblind merit, border security, and government accountability. Their anti-American agenda must be stopped to save our country's future.
Blackout
It's time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right.Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community's ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It's time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation--and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three. Owens explains that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the Left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democrat permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story, which ushered her from a roach-infested low-income apartment to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality. Well-researched and intelligently argued, Blackout lays bare the myth that all black people should vote Democrat--and shows why turning to the right will leave them happier, more successful, and more self-sufficient.
Scotus 2025
Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This eighth volume in Palgrave's SCOTUS Decisions series explains and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2025. With a close look at cases involving key issues and debates in American politics and society, SCOTUS 2025 tackles the Court's rulings on deportations of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, whether lower-court judges have the authority to issue "universal injunctions," the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, the right of parents to opt out of lessons they feel violate their free exercise of religion, and more. Written by leading scholars in political science and law, SCOTUS 2025 presents the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Additionally, the book examines the question of whether the United States is in a state of constitutional crisis, relations between the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts, and the expansion in the reliance on the "shadow docket" in the 2025 term.

Understanding Hitler and the Germans
The inner logic of the Nazi movement and the Third Reich is inseparable from that of Hitler: one cannot understand one without first examining the other. How did an uneducated, uncultured individual, whose life up to the age of 30 had been a series of failures, manage to impose his will on a great modern country before dragging it into a military and moral catastrophe unique in history? The answer to this question begs another: Can what happened in Germany happen again?
Elbows Up!
A blazing collection of responses to the U.S.'s shocking annexation threats and the swell of Canadian national unity that followed, from a remarkable array of Canada's sharpest and most influential minds. 2025. Donald Trump is president. And he is insisting that Canada is for sale. It feels disorienting, even existential, to watch a trade war escalate and to hear an American president vow to make Canada "the 51st state." Amid this disorientation, there is an urgent question: how do we meet the moment? This is not the first time we have had an identity crisis resulting in a swell of Canadian pride, but it is the first time many Canadians have experienced the direct threat of American imperialism knocking so loudly on our country's door. The fact that treaties can be broken, that resources can be stolen, and that the consequences of land theft include loss of culture, ritual, and identity is not new to the Indigenous and refugee peoples living in this country. But to many other Canadians, this kind of threat is new. As a result, there appears to be a new sense of a "we" emerging. People are angry and standing together with renewed shared purpose. This is a pivotal moment in history, and we need to take stock of how we got here, to learn from our past and walk tenaciously together into an uncertain future. Inspired by the 1968 collection The New Romans: Candid Canadian Opinions of the U.S., which was edited by Al Purdy and curated amidst the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, Elbows Up! is the book for our generation's own moment of crisis, featuring the words of leading cultural figures speaking candidly on America, on Canada, and on the malleable contours of a national narrative still taking hold.
Blood and Progress
For years, America's elite and the institutions in their control have led the public to believe that domestic political violence in the United States is almost solely a rightwing phenomenon. But what if the facts tell a very different story? In only the last several years, corporate CEOs and conservative influencers have been killed in brazen attacks. Republican justices, presidents, and their staffs have been marked for threats, assaults, and even death. Small-cell terrorist organizations have executed sophisticated attacks on law enforcement. And much it has been excused, even sometimes encouraged, by an intellectual ecosystem on the left that is, even now, incubating more political violence. In Blood and Progress, National Review's Noah Rothman embarks on a mission to understand left-wing violence in the United States - and comes away with a surprising and unflinching conclusion: violence designed to advance political objectives is, in our time, more often a project of the left. Indeed, today's wave of left-wing violence and political terrorism has come to resemble similar waves of leftwing violence in America's history. In this fascinating, untold history, Rothman explores individual episodes of modern political violence, identifies their causes and effects, and considers the psychological disposition that leads thugs and agitators to conclude that violence begets positive social change. He compares those attacks to those committed by the leftwing terrorists during previous waves of similar violence at the dawn of the 20th Century and in the 1960s and '70s, finding a number of common threads in the process. Rothman compellingly shines a spotlight on the degree to which progressive activists and prominent Democrats have excused and explained away violence over the decades. He condemns the suite of unworthy historical heroes and martyrs to which progressives genuflect, so many of whom themselves engaged in violence and criminality and encouraged the same from their acolytes. And he identifies a troubling trend on the American right, which increasingly clings to the same rationalizations that justify left-wing terror and bloodshed. This book is essential for those who want to truly understand the perilous moment in which America finds itself. Rothman's objective is to train American political observers to recognize left-wing violence and to apply the same scrutiny and foresight to it that they reserve for violence that comes from the right. We cannot arrest the trend toward political violence in America if we are focused on only one side of the equation. Until we resolve to respond to political violence consistently and with consistent revulsion, we should expect more violence.
How to Test Negative for Stupid
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROne of the most distinctive and funny politicians, Senator John Kennedy (the one from Louisiana)--hailed by Politico as "America's most quotable Senator"--offers his perceptive (and hilarious) takes on the ridiculousness of political life in this scathingly witty takedown of Washington and its elite denizens.How to Test Negative for Stupid offers the Senator's tongue-in-cheek guidebook through Washington, punctuated by his thoughts on various issues and humorous stories about life from Louisiana politics and inside the Senate.From the mind--and mouth--of "America's Most Quotable Senator" "Always be yourself . . . unless you suck.""I say this gently: This is why the aliens won't talk to us.""If you trust government, you obviously failed history class.""I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots.""Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you.""I'm not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., won't clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.""I have the right to remain silent but not the ability.""Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know.

Furious Minds
"[An] excellent new book."--Michelle Goldberg, New York Times The story of the radical conservative intellectual movement shaping Donald Trump's agenda--and how it threatens American freedoms, values, and democracy Donald Trump is not a big thinker, but his 2016 presidential victory presented a grand opportunity for people who are, and it set off a radicalization and reconfiguration of the American conservative intellectual world. In Furious Minds, Laura Field, who spent close to a decade in conservative academic circles, chronicles the rise of the New Right--the network of academics, public intellectuals, and influencers who provide ideological fuel to Trumpism. This movement includes figures such as Patrick Deneen, Christopher Rufo, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance. Their agenda is built to last, and it has dire long-term implications for liberal democracy. The New Right has precedents in American history, but it is distinct for its youthfulness, misogyny, and extraordinary successes--most notably the elevation of Vance to the vice presidency. The movement--which draws together associates of the right-wing Claremont Institute, National Conservatives, Postliberals, and the Hard Right--advocates nationalist economics, tight borders, isolationism, and reactionary social values. It helped to strategize January 6th and created Project 2025. But above all, the New Right is engaged in a vast culture war against modern liberal pluralism. It is determined to harness state power and use it in new, illiberal ways, from college campuses to the international scene--all driven by the fantasy of restoring a pure America. Incisive and urgent, Furious Minds tells the story of the thinkers of the New Right--and their powerful assault on American freedoms, values, and ideals.
Devils' Advocates
"Deeply reported and compellingly told, Kenneth Vogel's Devils' Advocates shines a light into the underground world of foreign cash, Washington lobbyists, and the selling of American policy to outsiders. This book hits at the perfect moment, giving invaluable insight into why foreign interests are so powerful in Washington." --#1 New York Times bestselling authors Jonathan Allen and Amie ParnesNew York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel takes us inside Washington's murky foreign lobbying industry, providing an unsparing look at the politically connected and morally flexible Americans who get rich working on behalf of brutal dictators, corrupt oligarchs, and pitiless arms dealers.The foreign influence business, comprised of shadowy operators who quietly shape U.S. foreign policy while producing massive paydays for themselves, has existed for decades, often unnoticed by Americans. In recent years, it began generating more controversy and scrutiny, thanks to the larger-than-life characters who gained access to power starting in Donald Trump's first presidential term.Among them is Robert Stryk, who dresses more like a cowboy than a traditional lobbyist. He had failed at several businesses before bluffing his way into relationships in Washington and around the world, quickly amassing wealth, influence, and a reputation for taking deals no one else would dare to touch.Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, once "America's Mayor," found his fading star rising again under Trump. Giuliani leveraged his position as Trump's personal lawyer into deals with foreign interests who saw him as a direct line to the president. Hunter Biden, too, the son of the future president, was no stranger to the business, having capitalized on his father's connections since the elder Biden's days as a senator and vice president.As the new wave of foreign influence peddlers spent millions on fast cars, pricey cigars, and flashy watches, their stories weaved together in ways that subverted American foreign policy interests. Some became headline-grabbing scandals. Others are being revealed here for the first time.Using exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel takes readers from an oligarch's wooded compound outside Kyiv and a South American presidential palace to the halls of power in Washington, DC, and inside the CIA. Devils' Advocates shines a harsh light on the people, places, and deals behind this seedy--and often absurd--industry, and provides a never-before-seen look at this billion-dollar business that is often at odds with American values like human rights and democracy.This gripping work of political nonfiction reveals the hidden mechanics of the foreign influence machine: Pay-to-Play Politics: Follow the money from brutal dictators and corrupt oligarchs to the Americans--like Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden--who get rich representing them.On-the-Ground Reporting: Journey from an oligarch's compound outside Kyiv to the halls of power in Washington, DC, with a veteran reporter who documents it all.Political Scandals Uncovered: Discover the stories behind headline-grabbing scandals and those revealed for the first time through thousands of exclusive documents and sources.The Architects of Influence: Explore the roles of key figures like Paul Manafort and Robert Stryk who pioneered and perfected the billion-dollar business of selling American policy.
Liberals with Attitude
LIBERALS WITH ATTITUDE DOCUMENTS THE SIXTEEN MONTHS IN 1991-92 between the brutal beating of Rodney King by four police officers that was captured on a home video camera and the resignation of LAPD chief Daryl Gates. Gates was reviled by local Black and civil liberties communities because of the pattern of racism in the department, and he was uniquely powerful because of the structure of the Los Angeles City Charter.The triumphant effort to get Gates to step down and to amend the City Charter to prevent another unaccountable chief was led by Tom Bradley, the first Black mayor of the city. Bradley assembled a team that included future US secretary of state Warren Christopher, the local ACLU, and Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Members of the local media, the burgeoning "gangsta rap" culture of LA, and civil rights activists were among those supportive of Bradley's agenda.Author Danny Goldberg was the chair of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California during those years and was personally acquainted with the leaders of the fight against Gates. He interviewed several dozen people who were involved in the events, and got access to the papers of Stanley Sheinbaum, who was the president of the Los Angeles Police Commission. Goldberg's insider saga demonstrates that cooperation between the political left and center is required to overcome white grievance and unaccountable power.tween the political left and center is required to overcome white grievance and unaccountable power.
Going Europe or Going Dutch?
The European Union has a huge impact on the government and policies of its member states. It is thus surprising that the ways in which national governments attempt to shape EU policies is a topic seriously understudied. This book discusses relevant academic insights and presents a framework for analysing national interest representation. The empirical part discusses the EU policy of the Dutch government throughout the 1990s and presents a reconstuction of the negotiations on two internal market directives. It thereby offers both for academics and practitioners a clear oversight of the making of European poliices and the relevant moments and instruments for national interest representation.
