  On Compromise

  Rachel Greenwald Smith

  On Compromise is an argument against contemporary liberal society’s tendency to view compromise as an unalloyed good—politically, ethically, and artistically. In a series of clear, convincing essays, Rachel Greenwald Smith discusses the dangers of thinking about compromise as an end, rather than as a means. To illustrate her points, she recounts her stint in a band as a bass player, fighting with her bandmates about “what the song wants,” and then moves outward to Bikini Kill and the Riot Grrrl movement, the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Poetry magazine, the resurgence of fascism, and other wide-ranging topics.Smith’s arguments are complex and yet have a simplicity to them, as she writes in a concise, cogent style that is eminently readable. By weaving examples drawn from literature, music, and other art forms with political theory and first-person anecdotes, she shows the problems of compromise in action. And even as Smith demonstrates the many ways that late capitalism demands individual compromise, she also holds out hope for the possibility of lasting change through collective action. Closing with a piercing discussion of the uncompromising nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and how global protests against racism and police brutality after the murder of George Floyd point to a new future, On Compromise is a necessary and vital book for our time.

  The Persian Continuum

  The Persian Continuum traces how the Achaemenid Empire’s administrative genius, religious pragmatism, and infrastructural vision shaped a vast world stretching from the Aegean to the Indus—and how Alexander’s lightning conquests disrupted but did not erase that order. Through a sequence of richly drawn chapters, the book follows the Persian high tide under Xerxes, the long wars and negotiations with Greek city-states, and the empire’s resilient governance from Egypt to Bactria. It then charts Macedon’s rise under Philip II, Alexander’s campaigns and statecraft, and the striking continuity of Persian institutions under Hellenistic rulers. 
  Beyond conquest, the narrative explores what came after: Seleucid experiments in Greek cityhood layered over Iranian provincial rule, Parthian aristocratic federalism built on cavalry and caravan routes, and Sasanian resurgence with law, priesthood, and fortified frontiers. The final chapters bring the story into the present, revealing how Achaemenid ideas—satrapies and couriers, plural law and shared rituals, standardized coinage and road networks—continue to inform modern governance, diplomacy, and identity. Blending military history with economic systems, religious life, and everyday experience, the book illuminates how empires rise and endure, and how their vocabularies of order survive long after the names on the coins have changed.

  The Antonine Wall

  As the most advanced frontier construction of its time, and as definitive evidence of the Romans' time in Scotland, the Antonine Wall is an invaluable and fascinating part of this country's varied and violent history. For a generation, from about AD 140 to 160, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Constructed by the Roman army, it ran from modern Bo'ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde and consisted of a turf rampart fronted by a wide and deep ditch.
  At regular intervals were forts connected by a road, while outside the fort gates clustered civil settlements. Antoninus Pius, whom the wall was named after, reigned longer than any other emperor with the exception of its founder Augustus. Yet relatively little is known about him.
  In this meticulously researched book, David Breeze examines this enigmatic life and the reasons for the construction and abandonment of his Wall.
