  The French Resistance - Stories...

  The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. With their lives at risk and a constant threat of betrayal or capture, these brave souls fought in the shadows, working tirelessly to undermine the Nazi war effort, sabotage military operations, and support the Allies. 
    
  At the heart of the Resistance was a spirit of defiance, a refusal to accept the status quo and a deep-seated belief in the values of freedom and liberty. The people who joined the movement were motivated by a sense of duty to their country, but also by a moral obligation to resist the horrors of the Nazi regime. From the rural villages to the bustling streets of Paris, the Resistance spread across France, forging networks of covert cells that communicated through secret codes, hidden messages, and underground newspapers. 
    
  The introduction of the Resistance was not a single event but a gradual process of collective resistance that evolved over time. In the early days, acts of defiance were small and isolated—anonymous leaflets denouncing the occupation, graffiti calling for revolt, and the quiet refusal of French citizens to cooperate with Nazi authorities. These early acts were the spark that would ignite a larger, more organized resistance movement. As the war progressed, Resistance groups grew in strength and sophistication, developing into a network of fighters, spies, and saboteurs working in unison to disrupt the Nazi regime’s operations.

  How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard—the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law—become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination? 
   
   
   
  While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes. 
   
   
   
  Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.

  How to Steal a Presidential...

  From two distinguished experts on election law, an alarming look at how the American presidency could be stolen—by entirely legal means 
   
  Even in the fast and loose world of the Trump White House, the idea that a couple thousand disorganized protestors storming the U.S. Capitol might actually prevent a presidential succession was farfetched. Yet perfectly legal ways of overturning election results actually do exist, and they would allow a political party to install its own candidate in place of the true winner. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman work through every option available for subverting a presumptively legitimate result—from vice-presidential intervention to election decertification and beyond. While many strategies would never pass constitutional muster, Lessig and Seligman explain how some might. They expose correctable weaknesses in the system, including one that could be corrected only by the Supreme Court. 
   
  Any strategy aimed at hacking a presidential election is a threat to democracy. This book is a clarion call to shore up the insecure system for electing the president before American democracy is forever compromised. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. Matthew Seligman is a fellow at the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a partner at Stris & Maher LLP.

  The Holodomor - Stalin's Famine...

  The Holodomor, one of the most tragic events in Ukrainian history, refers to the man-made famine that devastated Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. The name "Holodomor" itself is derived from two Ukrainian words: "holod," meaning hunger, and "moryty," meaning extermination. This term emphasizes the belief that the famine was deliberately engineered by Joseph Stalin's Soviet government as part of a broader effort to suppress Ukrainian nationalism and enforce Soviet control. 
  The historical context of the Holodomor is deeply intertwined with the policies of Soviet Russia during the early 20th century. Under Stalin’s rule, the Soviet Union sought rapid industrialization and forced collectivization of agriculture, a process that involved the consolidation of individual farms into large collective ones. These policies were highly disruptive and led to widespread resistance, especially in Ukraine, where peasants valued their land and traditional agricultural practices. 
  In response to this resistance, Stalin imposed harsh measures on Ukraine, including the confiscation of grain, livestock, and other foodstuffs, which were sent to feed other parts of the Soviet Union. This created a devastating shortage of food in Ukraine, which was compounded by the harsh climate and poor harvests. Despite the widespread suffering and starvation, the Soviet government did little to alleviate the crisis and instead imposed strict controls on food distribution. In some cases, officials even enforced internal borders, preventing starving people from fleeing to neighboring regions in search of food.
