  Mandate for Mesopotamia and...

  The United Nations is one of the most famous bodies in the world, and its predecessor, the League of Nations, might be equally notorious. In fact, President Woodrow Wilson’s pet project was controversial from nearly the minute it was conceived. While it would attempt to resolve some territorial disputes, it simply proved too weak to prevent international aggression, primarily among the Axis Powers in the buildup to World War II. Thus, the League’s greatest legacy ended up being its dismal failure to prevent World War II and ensure that World War I had truly been the “war to end all wars,” as originally intended. 
  Although the League of Nations was short-lived and clearly failed in its primary mission, it did essentially spawn the United Nations at the end of World War II, and many of the UN’s structures and organizations came straight from its predecessor, with the concepts of an International Court and a General Assembly coming straight from the League. More importantly, the failures of the League ensured that the UN was given stronger authority and enforcement mechanisms, most notably through the latter’s Security Council, and while the League dissolved after a generation, the UN has survived for over 70 years. 
  One of the League’s most lasting legacies was the manner in which it handed over administrative control of land in the Middle East to the victorious Allied Powers, namely France and Britain. The Ottoman Empire quickly collapsed after World War I, and its extensive lands were divvied up between the French and British. While the French gained control of the Levant, which would later become modern day nations like Syria and Lebanon, the British were given mandates for Mesopotamia and Palestine. The British Mandate for Palestine gave the British control over the lands that have since become Jordan, Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, while Mesopotamia covered modern Iraq.

  Known as "the feisty one," young Barbara will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her younger siblings from the predators in their lives. Her experiences are extraordinary, from countless nights sleeping under a claw foot tub to evade her abuser to witnessing the burning of an interracial couple. Though she was the self-appointed protector of her mother from various abusers, those lessons were not always applied as she pursued her own adult relationships. Yet even when she experienced defeat and despair, she learned she was never defeated. Not In The Fire is for anyone tempted to doubt their usefulness and ability to carry on. Journey with Barbara as she finds that God is not in the fiery events in her life, but in a gentle, silent voice.

  What is the purpose of the law? What should be the role of the state? Are we subjects or citizens? In episode 6 of The Book Club, Amit Varma argues that we have normalised oppression by the state, and we need to examine it anew with clear eyes. There is no better guide to this than Frédéric Bastiat's 19th-century masterpiece, 'The Law.'
