Sinopse

In "Through Bolshevik Russia," Ethel Snowden offers a vivid and incisive account of her travels through the tumultuous landscape of post-revolutionary Russia. Written in the early 1920s, the narrative is marked by her keen observations and a reflective literary style that deftly intertwines personal anecdotes with broader political commentary. Snowden captures the stark realities of life under Bolshevism, illuminating the struggles and hopes of ordinary citizens against the backdrop of radical socio-political change. Her prose combines a realistic depiction of hardship with an underlying curiosity about the new Soviet order, making the work both a historical document and a personal memoir of her experiences during a critical time in world history. Ethel Snowden, an influential political figure and writer, was deeply engaged in the labor movements and socialist politics of her time, which profoundly influenced her perspectives reflected in this book. Married to a prominent Labour politician, Sydney Snowden, she had access to various political circles and international insight, thus situating her observations within a broader ideological context. Her commitment to social justice and equality also echoes through her writings, providing a unique lens through which to view the changes taking place in Russia. "Through Bolshevik Russia" is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of travel writing and political discourse, as well as those curious about the human dimension of revolutionary change. Snowden's work not only informs but also provokes critical reflection on the ideologies that shaped the 20th century, making it an essential read for historians, students of literature, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern political movements.

    On May 3, 1943, dozens of planes could be seen flying in and out of Royal Air Force Bovingdon Airfield. Among the aircraft seen that day was a B-24D bomber named Hot Stuff, which carried the Commanding General of US Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews—the officer charged with formulating a plan to invade Europe. Speculation was that General George C. Marshall had called Andrews back to Washington, DC, leading many to believe that Marshall had another promotion in store for Andrews. Tragically, Andrews would never arrive. While attempting to land in Iceland, the bomber crashed into a mountain, with no survivors other than the tail gunner; Andrews's personal papers were also destroyed. 
     
     
     
    In Marshall's Great Captain, author Kathy Wilson details Andrews's extraordinary life and career. The first biography dedicated to the namesake of Joint Base Andrews, this book sheds a light on Andrews's crucial role in orchestrating US involvement in WWII, as well as the professional relationship between Andrews and Marshall. Wilson raises Andrews's legacy to its legitimate place within the annals of both air power and WWII history and posits that there is a high probability that Andrews was Marshall's first choice for the office of Supreme Allied Commander. Marshall recounted that Andrews was the only one he had a chance to prepare for such a command.

    Neutrality has, supposedly, long been a pillar of the Irish national identity – a policy that the country has proudly presented on the world stage. But, examining the concept reveals it to be a vague and elastic notion – one that, throughout history, various governments have been happy to stretch or, in some cases, abandon entirely.
    Today, warfare has expanded to include cyberattacks, environmental concerns, election interference and disinformation. If our traditional idea of warfare is changing, should our idea of neutrality change too?
    In this timely and thought-provoking examination of a core tenet of Irish society, Conor Gallagher explores the practical and ethical implications of choosing a side, asking: in the face of aggression, is it right to sit back and do nothing?

    Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
     
     
     
    In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

    The Spurgin family of North Carolina experienced the cataclysm of the American Revolution in the most dramatic ways—and from different sides. This engrossing book tells the story of Jane Welborn Spurgin, a patriot who welcomed General Nathanael Greene to her home and aided Continental forces while her loyalist husband was fighting for the king as an officer in the Tory militia. By focusing on the wife of a middling backcountry farmer, esteemed historian Cynthia Kierner shows how the Revolution not only toppled long-established political hierarchies but also strained family ties and drew women into the public sphere to claim both citizenship and rights—as Jane Spurgin did with a dramatic series of petitions to the North Carolina state legislature when she fought to reclaim her family's lost property after the war was over. 
     
     
     
    While providing listeners with stories of battles, horse-stealing, bigamy, and exile that bring the Revolutionary era vividly to life, this book also serves as an invaluable examination of the potentially transformative effects of war and revolution, both personally and politically.
