  Chris Moore

  For over four decades the story of the extraordinary evil that occurred at the Kincora Boys’ Home in East Belfast in the 1970s and the shocking attempts by MI5 to cover it up have haunted our political and social terrain for decades. Award-winning former BBC journalist Chris Moore has been working on the story since it first emerged in 1980, and has uncovered a horrific catalogue of failed opportunities to put an end to the sadistic activities of the men who were running the home, in particular those of prominent Orangeman and MI5 source William McGrath. 
   
  What has emerged over the course of Moore’s investigation, in which he has gained exclusive access to witnesses, secret documents and whistleblowers within the British intelligence services, is that not only were the boys in Kincora systematically sexually abused, but that some were forced into a countrywide paedophile ring, whose members included Lord Louis Mountbatten. Moore also exposes MI5’s attempts to cover up what actually happened and that the organisation knew as early as the 1970s that the boys in Kincora were being abused. 
   
  Kincora is a shocking exposé of how the British state failed to protect some of its most vulnerable members.

  9 11 The Unfinished Battle - Why...

  Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, former Canadian intelligence analyst Phil Gurski delivers a sober and deeply informed assessment of what the world misunderstood about terrorism, intelligence, and national security in the aftermath of 9/11. Drawing on decades inside Canada’s intelligence community, 9/11 The Unfinished Battle examines how the Global War on Terror reshaped governments, intelligence agencies, geopolitics, and civil liberties—while failing to eliminate the threat it sought to destroy.
  		 
  Far from a retrospective history, this book is a forward-looking analysis of how terrorism, espionage, foreign interference, and transnational repression continue to evolve. Gurski argues that the West’s greatest mistake was assuming the threat landscape had fundamentally changed, when in reality many of the same ideological and geopolitical forces remain firmly in place. Combining intelligence insight with geopolitical analysis, 9/11 The Unfinished Battle offers a pragmatic blueprint for building long-term security without sacrificing democratic values.
  		 
  “Phil Gurski delivers a clear, compelling, and deeply informed account of the global War on Terror, from its violent beginnings to the unstable world it has helped create today.” — Martin Gallagher, PhD
  		 
  Ideal for readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Ben Rhodes, and contemporary geopolitical nonfiction, this is an essential examination of the unfinished legacy of 9/11—and what comes next.

  A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
   
  There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. 
   
  This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
   
  George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along...

  Mussolini's Grandchildren -...

  David Broder

  The fastest-rising force in Italian politics is Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia—a party with a direct genealogy from Mussolini's regime. Surging to prominence in recent years, it has waged a fierce culture war against the left, polarized political debate around WWII, and even secured the largest vote share in Italy's 2022 general election. Eighty years after the fall of Mussolini, his heirs, and admirers are again on the brink of taking power. 
   
   
   
  Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since WWII and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right. 
   
   
   
  Fratelli d'Italia has retained its hegemony over fascist subcultures whilst embracing a raft of more pragmatic policy positions, fusing harsh Islamophobia and anti-communism with support for the European Union and NATO. As countervailing anti-fascist forces in Italian society wane, the far-right party's mission to redeem historical fascism, legitimize its political heirs, and shift the terrain of mainstream politics is proving alarmingly successful.

  Secession - Why Our Country...

  Kent Greenfield

  A book that will launch a million debates. 
  Constitutional law professor Kent Greenfield delivers the highly provocative yet carefully reasoned case for secession, arguing that the fractures within the US run so deep, rendering our politics so dysfunctional, that the best way to heal is to initiate a nonviolent national divorce between the blue and red states. 
  The truth is that our nation is broken. More divides us than unites us, and our constitutional framework is accelerating, not healing, those divisions, making them impossible to cure. We have become two rather than one. And a house divided against itself cannot stand. 
  Americans already sense this reality. We are frustrated, angry, fearful, and pessimistic about our current condition. Less than one in four voters believe the country is headed in the right direction. More Americans believe we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis than in a democracy. And Americans are sorting themselves geographically more than at any time since the Civil War: more than 80% of American counties are now “landslide counties” where one party or the other dominates. As recently as 1980, over half of the states sent one Republican and one Democrat to the Senate. Now, less than a handful do. 
  Here’s the good news, though: a solution exists to this maddening impasse, and that solution is peaceful secession. Like spouses trapped in a bad marriage, we would all be better off if we admitted to ourselves that we no longer have a future together. Our national marriage is violent and hurtful, replete with irreconcilable differences. Once we get through the dissolution, both sides will be better off. 
  Renowned legal scholar Kent Greenfield presents a carefully outlined and thorough step-by-step blueprint for a nonviolent process for separation. Secession is the book that millions of Americans are ready to discuss, debate, and be inspired by.
