  Beneath the outward appearance of legitimate government and accountable officials there lurk hidden agendas, shadowy personalities and special interest groups seeking to seize control of the nation for their own ends. These 'states within a state', unfettered by legal norms and unworried by public opinion, are known as 'deep states'. 
   
  In this fascinating account, Ian Fitzgerald examines what a deep state really is and how they have emerged in various places across the world and throughout history. Ranging from the police state of East Germany in the 1950s to the narco states of Latin America in the 1970s to the institutional corruption of 21st century Nigeria, he explores the many ways people have sought to seize the apparatus of power for themselves while remaining out of sight. 
   
  Now the subject of modern conspiracy theories the world over as a worrying trend toward unelected power emerges, this book is more timely than ever, and helps separate fact from fiction.

  The overturning of Roe V. Wade will have long-term and indelible consequences on American society. 
  The purpose of this book is to be part of the on-going conversations. 
  Perfect or not, Roe was working for America. Consequently, it did not need to be “fixed”. 
  The ignorance of attempting to fix it when the ramifications were unknown, has resulted in chaos, confusion, inconvenience and trauma for women who need abortions. In many cases viability of the embryo dictates an abortion. 
  Also important is the fact that medical decisions were taken out of the hands of physicians. That is a “No, no”! 
  The book also addresses the issue of poor ethics in the Supreme Court as this was also a factor in overturning Roe, as was arrogance.

  Throughout the dialogue, Socrates and Phaedrus discuss the power of love to inspire greatness and the role of rhetoric in communication and persuasion. They examine the different types of love and how they relate to beauty, knowledge, and the soul. They also explore the ethical implications of rhetoric and its ability to manipulate people's beliefs and opinions. 
  Phaedrus is one of Plato's most famous works, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and philosophers today. Its themes of love, beauty, and rhetoric are central to many philosophical and literary traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, aesthetics, and communication studies.

  INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  A New York Times Editor’s Choice | A Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of the Year 
  ?The Inspiration for the HBO Original Documentary South to Black Power 
  From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto and call to action, ""a must-read in the effort to dismantle deep-seated poisons of systemic racism and white supremacy"" (San Francisco Chronicle). 
  Race, as we have come to understand it, is a fiction; but, racism, as we have come to live it, is a fact. The point here is not to impose a new racial hierarchy, but to remove an existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy, it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves. 
  Acclaimed columnist and author Charles Blow never wanted to write a “race book.” But as violence against Black people—both physical and psychological—seemed only to increase in recent years, culminating in the historic pandemic and protests of the summer of 2020, he felt compelled to write a new story for Black Americans. He envisioned a succinct, counterintuitive, and impassioned corrective to the myths that have for too long governed our thinking about race and geography in America. Drawing on both political observations and personal experience as a Black son of the South, Charles set out to offer a call to action by which Black people can finally achieve equality, on their own terms. 
  So what will it take to make lasting change when small steps have so frequently failed? It’s going to take an unprecedented shift in power. The Devil You Know is a groundbreaking manifesto, proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country. This book is a grand exhortation to generations of a people, offering a road map to true and lasting freedom.
