Summary

Freedom's Retreat Europe explores a pressing question: Are modern European regulations, intended to protect democracies, inadvertently eroding individual liberties? The book examines parallels between contemporary regulatory controls and historical methods used by authoritarian regimes, challenging the assumption that more regulation always equals greater security. It delves into areas like the expansion of surveillance technologies and increasing constraints on freedom of speech under the guise of combating hate speech and misinformation, and the impact of economic regulations on innovation. A key insight is how seemingly benevolent regulations can have unintended consequences, potentially stifling European democracy.

 
The book provides a political analysis of European history by grounding its arguments in rigorous historical context, comparing current regulatory trends with past authoritarian practices. It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then examining surveillance technologies, restrictions on free speech, and economic regulations, ultimately offering recommendations for safeguarding liberties. This approach provides a unique perspective on how regulatory creep can subtly erode individual freedoms, making it valuable for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of European democracy.

    It takes strength not to curse someone out when they’re being rude, or not to lose it when your child is being disobedient. It is also emotionally taxing to keep it all together when you are on the receiving end of a microaggression. 
    Each of these instances requires us to use our emotional intelligence (or EQ). And, while it is a basic skill, there are more shades to emotional intelligence than you might think. Emotional intelligence can also be used to break barriers to equity. 
    In The Color of Emotional Intelligence, psychotherapist and well-being expert Farah Harris uses personal stories, anecdotes, and insight to discuss:The fundamentals of emotional intelligence and barriers to practicing EQ effectivelyHow emotional intelligence is used as a survival skill by marginalized peopleDifferent types of stressors, including microaggressions, and resulting unhealthy defensive tactics, such as code-switching and maskingSelf-care strategies for handling systemic stressors that affect people from marginalized groupsTools everyone can use to elevate their emotional intelligence to address inequities and become better stewards of humanity 
    Don’t go through life seeing things in black and white. It’s time to see the world in color.

  • Tank Warfare on the Eastern Front 1941-1942 - Schwerpunkt - cover

    Tank Warfare on the Eastern...

    The German panzer armies that swept into the Soviet Union in 1941 were an undefeated force that had honed their skill in combined arms warfare to a fine edge. The Germans focused their panzers and tactical air support at points on the battlefield defined as Schwerpunkt—main effort—to smash through any defensive line and then advance to envelope their adversaries. 
     
     
     
    Initially, these methods worked well in the early days of Operation Barbarossa and the tank forces of the Red Army suffered defeat after defeat. Although badly mauled in the opening battles, the Red Army's tank forces did not succumb to the German armored onslaught and German planning and logistical deficiencies led to over-extension and failure in 1941. In the second year of the invasion, the Germans directed their Schwerpunkt toward the Volga and the Caucasus and again achieved some degree of success, but the Red Army had grown much stronger and by November 1942, the Soviets were able to turn the tables at Stalingrad. 
     
     
     
    Robert Forczyk's incisive study offers fresh insight into how the two most powerful mechanized armies of WWII developed their tactics and weaponry during the early years of the Russo-German War. He uses German, Russian, and English sources to provide the first comprehensive overview and analysis of armored warfare from the German and Soviet perspectives.

    Certain foreign policy decisions led to continuing enmity between Carthage and the burgeoning power of Rome, and what followed was a series of wars which turned from a battle for Mediterranean hegemony into an all-out struggle for survival. Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, Hannibal brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. While military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. 
    Before the Numidians were conquered by the Romans and Numidia was officially made part of Roman Africa, they developed a culture that was as sophisticated and unique as any in the ancient world. The Numidians were a Berber people who emerged from the edge of the desert in the late 2nd millennium BCE, and despite the harshness of their environment (or perhaps because of it), they eventually became the most powerful people in North Africa. The Numidians found success on the backs of horses, which they rode to countless military victories, and when they could not defeat their enemies with conventional tactics, they were not afraid to resort to asymmetrical warfare. 
    The end of the Ptolemies also happened to coincide with the most famous period of Roman history. In the latter 1st century BCE, men like Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Octavian participated in two civil wars that would spell the end of the Roman Republic and determine who would become the Roman emperor. In the middle of it all was history’s most famous woman, Cleopatra, who famously seduced both Caesar and Antony and thereby positioned herself as one of the most influential people in a world of powerful men. Indeed, she was a legendary figure even to contemporary Romans and the ancient world.
