  Exodus of Evil The Ratlines and the Stolen Wealth of Europe A Complete History of Nazi Looting and Post-War Impunity 
  by Michael Green Best-selling author of The Last Exit, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil, and Between the Pines 
  In Exodus of Evil, historian and investigative author Michael Green delivers a devastating exposé of the greatest unresolved crime of the Second World War: the industrialised theft that accompanied the Holocaust — and the immense fortunes that were never returned. 
  This is not a story of rumours or lost-treasure myths. It is a documented history of ledgers, laws, vaults, and accounts. 
  Drawing on archival research, declassified intelligence files, banking records, and post-war investigations, Green shows how Nazi Germany transformed persecution and murder into a functioning economic system. Jewish property was registered, seized, liquidated, and converted into state revenue. Gold taken from victims — including from the dead — was laundered through central banks, neutral states, and religious institutions. 
  When the Third Reich collapsed, the money did not. 
  From the Reichsbank and the Melmer gold accounts to Swiss banking secrecy, Vatican intermediaries, and South American escape routes, Exodus of Evil traces the hidden pipelines that moved both wealth and war criminals beyond justice. The ratlines were not improvised — they were financed, protected, and quietly tolerated. 
  "A forensic dismantling of the financial machinery behind genocide — and the silence that followed." 
  Unflinching, meticulously sourced, and impossible to dismiss, Exodus of Evil is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how genocide was made profitable — and why so much of its legacy remains unresolved today.

  How the US policy of competition with China is detrimental to democracy, peace, and prosperity—and how a saner approach is possible 
   
   
    
  For close to a decade, the US government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will "eat our lunch," in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China's military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability. 
   
   
    
  This in-depth assessment of the trade-offs and pitfalls of protracted competition with China reveals how such a policy exacerbates inequality, leads to xenophobia, and increases the likelihood of violence around the world. In addition, it distracts from the priority of addressing such issues as climate change while at the same time undercutting democratic pluralism and sacrificing liberty in the name of prevailing against an enemy "other." Jackson and Brenes provide an informed and urgent critique of current US foreign policy and a road map toward a saner, more democratically accountable strategy of easing tension and achieving effective diplomacy.

  Advocates and activists in Singapore contribute to policy discussions and positive change through a combination of deft manoeuvres and patient politics. Yet civil society is often unacknowledged, their skill and labour instead frequently misunderstood, even earning them the label of “troublemakers” or “enemies of the state”. 
   
  This collection of essays and interviews is a candid reflection on the intentions, beliefs and strategies behind the practice of advocacy across a spectrum of causes. The contributors come from varying backgrounds and include academics, artists, lawyers, journalists, non-profit and advocacy organisations, student and community organisers. They share practical insights into their aims and community-building work, and the tactics they employ to overcome obstacles, shedding light on how to navigate a city-state with shifting socio-political fault lines and out-of-bound markers. 
   
  With an introduction, “It is Time to Trim the Banyan Tree”, by Constance Singam, and a conclusion, “Their Struggle is Ours to Continue”, by Suraendher Kumarr.

  The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the field as the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II. In fact, it required a concerted effort by groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the extreme circumstances brought about by World War II that the military eventually decided to establish the “Tuskegee Experiment.” 
  The Black crews trained at Tuskegee before being sent overseas, and even then, they faced discrimination from those who didn’t trust them to do more than escort bombers flown by white pilots. However, as the men proved their worth in the heat of battle, some of the squadrons’ red markings helped them earn the nickname “Red Tails,” and their track record was so good that eventually the white pilots of American bombers wanted to fly with them. As Tuskegee airman Roscoe Brown eloquently put it, “They have a saying that excellence is the antidote to prejudice; so, once you show you can do it, some of the barriers will come down.” 
  In time, the Tuskegee Airmen would be romanticized and mythologized to the extent that it was claimed that some escort squadrons didn’t lose a bomber to the enemy, which led Tuskegee airman Grant Williams to note in jest, “Back then, nobody realized the significance of what we were doing. Now, they seem to think we could walk on water." However, even though the suggestion that the escorts lost no bombers on their missions was inaccurate, there is no question that the Tuskegee Airmen’s record was elite and some of the fighter pilots were among the best to serve.
