Summary

The 'Federalist & Anti-Federalist Papers - Complete Edition' presents a seminal collection of writings that capture the fervent debates shaping the foundation of the United States. This anthology brings together an array of persuasive essays, exploring themes of governance, federalism, and liberty. Through the dynamic interplay of styles ranging from philosophical exposition to rhetorical eloquence, readers gain a privileged view into the intellectual rigor and nuanced arguments that defined this crucial historical juncture. As the authors engage in a profound dialogue over the structure and powers of the emerging nation, select essays stand out for their clarity and enduring impact, offering essential insights into the ideological origins of American democracy. The collection features the erudite arguments of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, counterbalanced by the impassioned rebuttals of Patrick Henry and Samuel Bryan. Together, these voices encapsulate the fervor of late 18th-century political thought, reflecting the complexities and tensions surrounding the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Hamilton's advocacy for a robust centralized government starkly contrasts with Henry's and Bryan's cautionary emphasis on states' rights and individual freedoms. This anthology aligns with the Enlightenment's influence on political theory and its pivotal role in shaping institutional frameworks. This edition is essential for readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of early American political thought. It provides a unique opportunity to explore a spectrum of perspectives within a single volume, each contributing to the rich tapestry of ideas that defined and defended the young republic. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the educational value and breadth of insights offered, fostering a deeper dialogue and understanding of the nation's founding principles.

    Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in the corridors of power during a major crisis or after a ministerial reshuffle? How do new government ministers get to grips with their portfolios and priorities? Who guides and supports them? And why, sometimes – during events such as 'Partygate' – do things go wrong?
    In this meticulously researched book, former senior civil servant Alun Evans lifts the lid on a vital but little-known cog in the machinery of government: private office and the private secretaries who work within it.
    Private secretaries exercise huge influence, and yet most of us have never heard of them. They are the ones who manage the flow of work, who whisper quietly in ministers' ears and who have been Prime Ministers' closest, most trusted and most discreet confidants. At critical moments in our national history – from the Falklands War to the Westland affair, from Black Wednesday to the 2008 financial crash, from New Labour to the coalition government – they have been central but hidden players.
    With exceptional access to former Prime Ministers and decision-makers, Evans explores what private office is and why it matters to British democracy. He argues that following the egregious constitutional breaches of Boris Johnson's premiership, private office must once again be taken seriously so it can return to being the independent junction box of government and a vital part of the British constitution.

    A groundbreaking argument that the political spectrum today is inadequate to twenty-first-century America and a major source of the confusion and hostility that characterize contemporary political discourse. 
     
     
     
    As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of "liberal" and "conservative." Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.

    During the first World War, over a million Armenians were killed as Ottoman Turks embarked on a bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing. Scholars have long described these massacres as genocide, one of Hitler's prime inspirations for the Holocaust, yet the United States did not officially recognize the Armenian Genocide until 2021. 
     
     
     
    This is the first book to examine how and why the United States refused to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide until the early 2020s. Although the American government expressed sympathy towards the plight of the Armenians in the 1910s and 1920s, historian Julien Zarifian explores how, from the 1960s, a set of geopolitical and institutional factors soon led the United States to adopt a policy of genocide nonrecognition which it would cling to for over fifty years, through Republican and Democratic administrations alike. He describes the forces on each side of this issue: activists from the US Armenian diaspora and their allies, challenging Cold War statesmen worried about alienating NATO ally Turkey and dealing with a widespread American reluctance to directly confront the horrors of the past. Drawing from congressional records, rare newspapers, and interviews with lobbyists and decision-makers, he reveals how genocide recognition became such a complex, politically sensitive issue.

    What if the fall of Hitler was only the beginning? 
    In The Nazi Escape, uncover the shocking, meticulously researched story of how a secretive global alliance, spanning Vatican corridors, Allied intelligence networks, and Argentina’s highest political ranks, engineered one of history’s most chilling cover-ups. With the Third Reich in ruins, elite Nazi war criminals vanished without a trace. But they didn’t disappear... they were helped. 
    This gripping exposé reveals how Catholic clergy operated covert escape routes known as “ratlines,” how Western intelligence agencies turned a blind eye, or lent a hand, and how Juan Perón’s Argentina became a haven for some of the most notorious figures of World War II. 
    From shadowy monasteries in Rome to the pampas of South America, The Nazi Escape reads like a thriller, but every word is true. Packed with declassified documents, firsthand accounts, and shocking revelations, this is the untold story the world wasn’t supposed to know.
