Sinossi

"Battles Forgotten" unearths pivotal military clashes that history has largely overlooked, aiming to broaden our understanding of warfare and the rise and fall of civilizations. By piecing together fragmented accounts from ancient records and archaeological findings, the book challenges the completeness of mainstream military history. It argues that conventional narratives are skewed due to selective evidence survival and interpretation, revealing a more multifaceted picture of conflict's impact on societies. Consider, for example, how biases in ancient sources or the suppression of unfavorable outcomes can distort the past, influencing our present-day perception of military tactics and geopolitical strategies. The book explores the political and social factors behind the exclusion of these battles, offering detailed analyses of specific, previously overlooked conflicts. It reconstructs their contexts, participants, and consequences, drawing from newly translated texts and interdisciplinary research, including political science and cultural studies. This approach sheds light on overlooked lessons in military strategy and challenges accepted wisdom. The book progresses by first examining why these battles were forgotten, then reconstructing the battles themselves, and finally assessing their broader implications for understanding conflict.

The Marauders - Standing Up to...

Patrick Strickland

This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
 
 
 
The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
 
  
 
The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.

Freedom of Speech - Navigating...

Marcus Klein

Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere.
The origins of free speech can be traced back to philosophical and political thinkers of the Enlightenment era, who emphasized the importance of reason, individual rights, and personal liberty. Thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, and John Stuart Mill argued that the free exchange of ideas was essential for the flourishing of society, allowing for the progress of knowledge, the correction of errors, and the protection of political freedom. These ideas laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of free expression as a fundamental human right.
However, the right to free speech is not absolute. Throughout history, the boundaries of this freedom have been tested by a wide range of societal, political, and ethical concerns. From the regulation of speech in times of war or national security threats to the ongoing debates over hate speech, defamation, and misinformation, societies have struggled to find a balance between protecting free expression and safeguarding the common good. This tension continues to shape the debate surrounding free speech, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like social media, which have transformed the landscape of communication.
