  A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy 
   
  Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil—a clear and easy choice—but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.

  Disclaimer: This book is not the official, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
  Dive into the murky depths of one of America's most baffling and haunting criminal cases. Our summary of 'CHAOS' by Tom O’Neill and Dan Piepenbring peels back the layers of the Manson murders, revealing a web of governmental intrigue, CIA mind-control experiments, and a turbulent era that reshaped the nation. 
  Originally planned as a simple retelling of the infamous Manson Family murders, O’Neill’s research led him down a rabbit hole of dark and disturbing truths, challenging the official narrative that has been accepted for decades. Our summary distills years of meticulous investigation into a gripping read that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about this iconic case. 
  Are the Manson murders just the tip of a malevolent iceberg? Who were the real puppet masters behind the scenes? Explore these questions and more as you navigate through a labyrinth of conspiracies, cover-ups, and chilling secrets. You'll never look at the '60s—or the American justice system—the same way again.

  This book has a message for everyone concerned about the direction of politics in Scotland, the UK and beyond: do not despair. There are realistic, left alternatives to being stuck in a political 'doom loop'. 
  In 1975 the Red Paper on Scotland, edited by the young, radical Gordon Brown was a seminal publication; it helped create, not just catch, the mood of the day.  
  Fifty years later a new group of writers have come together to write about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape what lies ahead. 
  The authors of this book believe only a radical redistribution of wealth and power within a democratic economy will engage Scottish voters. It calls on us to Keep Left.

  America: Standing Strong, from award-winning author Robert J. Emery (www.robertjemeryauthor.com) 
  In 1920, while campaigning for the office of president, Warren G. Harding said in a campaign speech, “America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy.” 
  That is where America finds itself today. 
  “America: Standing Strong” brings together investigative reporters, scholars, scientists, philosophers, medical professionals, elected officials across the political spectrum and an endless string of quotes from respected voices, past and present, to examine the events of recent years, not what we already know, but what we may not, or have yet to acknowledge, in our quest for reformation. Every voice counts.
