Benedetto Croce's "Manifesto of the Anti-Fascist Intellectuals" was a document written in 1925 by a group of Italian intellectuals, including Croce, to denounce the rise of fascism in Italy under Benito Mussolini.

The manifesto argued that fascism was a threat to individual liberty, democracy, and intellectual freedom, and called for intellectuals to stand up against the fascist regime. It also stressed the importance of education, culture, and democracy in promoting a free and open society.

Benedetto Croce (1866-1952) was an Italian philosopher, historian, and politician. He is best known for his contributions to aesthetics and philosophy of history.

Croce was born in Pescasseroli, Italy, and studied philosophy and literature at the University of Rome. He later became a professor of philosophy at the University of Naples, where he taught for many years.

The JFK Conspiracy - The Secret...

Brad Meltzer, Josh Mensch

"It's easy to understand why Brad Meltzer and many other authors love to have Scott Brick perform their work. His delivery is impassioned, impossible to ignore...impossible to turn off." —AudioFileFrom the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration.Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans’ most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don’t know is that JFK’s historic presidency almost ended before it began—at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy’s election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car—a parked Buick—on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect’s schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan—one that could’ve changed the course of history.Written in the gripping style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch’s bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could’ve been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.

Heart of Atlanta - Five Black...

Ronnie Greene

The Heart of Atlanta Supreme Court decision stands among the court’s most significant civil rights rulings. 
 
In Atlanta, Georgia, two arch segregationists vowed to flout the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the sweeping slate of civil rights reforms just signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Pickrick restaurant was run by Lester Maddox, soon to be  
governor of Georgia, and the Heart of Atlanta motel was operated by lawyer Moreton Rolleston Jr. After the law was signed, a group of ministry students—George Willis, Albert Dunn, and Woodrow Lewis—showed up for a plate of skilletfried chicken at the Pickrick; Maddox greeted them with a pistol, axe handles, and  
a mob of White supporters. At the Heart of Atlanta, ministers Albert Sampson and Charles Wells sought rooms, but Moreton Rolleston refused to accept the Black patrons. 
 
These confrontations became the centerpiece of the nation’s first two legal challenges to the Civil Rights Act. In gripping detail built from exclusive interviews and original documents, Heart of Atlanta reveals the saga of the case’s rise to the  
US Supreme Court, which unanimously rejected the segregationists. Heart of Atlanta restores the legal cases and their heroes to their proper place in history.

Brown Church - Five Centuries of...

Robert Chao Romero

Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist 
 
 
 
Interest in and awareness of the demand for social justice as an outworking of the Christian faith is growing. But it is not new. 
 
 
 
For five hundred years, Latina/o culture and identity have been shaped by their challenges to the religious, socio-economic, and political status quo, whether in opposition to Spanish colonialism, Latin American dictatorships, US imperialism in Central America, the oppression of farmworkers, or the current exploitation of undocumented immigrants. Christianity has played a significant role in that movement at every stage. 
 
 
 
Robert Chao Romero, the son of a Mexican father and a Chinese immigrant mother, explores the history and theology of what he terms the "Brown Church." Romero considers how this movement has responded to these and other injustices throughout its history by appealing to the belief that God's vision for redemption includes not only heavenly promises but also the transformation of every aspect of our lives and the world. Walking through this history of activism and faith, listeners will discover that Latina/o Christians have a heart after God's own.

Deer Hunting with Jesus -...

Joe Bageant

By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." 
 
 
 
Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. 
 
 
 
He writes of: 
 
 
 
● His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced 
 
 
 
● The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt 
 
 
 
● The ubiquitous gun culture—and why the left doesn't get it 
 
 
 
● Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England

The Suppression of Truth in the...

Martin K. Ettington

In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China. 
This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism. 
There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways. 
The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie. 
This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives. 
I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.) 
There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.
