  1939: The World Catches Fire The Second World War: A Seven-Volume Series, Volume One Quentin Drummond Anderson 
  The last summer ended on a September morning. By nightfall, the world had changed beyond retrieval. 
  In the opening volume of his landmark seven-volume narrative history of the Second World War, Quentin Drummond Anderson — author of War Beneath the Waves, The Fearless Fifteen, and Warriors of the First Nations — brings the year that started everything to devastating life. From the final, luminous weeks of an uneasy European peace to the closing days of a winter in which Finland was holding back the Red Army against all probability, 1939: The World Catches Fire tells the full story of how the world stumbled into the most destructive conflict in human history. 
  Poland is destroyed in thirty-five days. The Atlantic opens as a killing ground. A pocket battleship hunts the South Atlantic and meets its end with a grace that the war it belongs to does not deserve. A garrison of 182 men holds a peninsula for seven days against everything Germany can throw at them. Codebreakers take their posts in a Victorian mansion in Buckinghamshire. Refugees run for borders that are closing faster than they can reach them. And in the chancelleries and the war rooms and the ordinary streets of a dozen nations, men and women try to understand what has happened to the world they were living in last summer. 
  1939: The World Catches Fire is history written at the pace of events — immediate, authoritative, and deeply human. Drawing on the full range of primary sources, from the diaries of Churchill and Guderian to the testimony of Polish survivors and Finnish ski troops, Drummond Anderson delivers military history at its highest: the grand strategic sweep and the individual life, held in the same hand, illuminating each other.

  "Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century." —Robin D. G. Kelley 
   
   
   
  Perfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal—an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. 
   
   
   
  Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. 
   
   
   
  Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. 
   
   
   
  How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

  A thin, balding, and reclusive middle-aged Russian by the name of Rudolf Ivanovich Abel was one of the Soviet Union's most renowned spies during the Cold War of the 1950s . . . . until his cover was blown by an incompetent colleague who wanted to defect to the United States. This is the full account of Abel's espionage work, his dramatic apprehension, his eventual conviction and its affirmation by the United States Supreme Court, and finally, his surprising release back to Russia. 
   
   
   
  As the authorities hunted down Abel, the FBI had in hand his tools of trade but little else in the way of hard leads. After Abel was located, his modest hotel in Manhattan was staked out by the FBI for over a month before he was eventually arrested and tried for espionage. 
   
   
   
  After his conviction, Abel appealed his case to the Second Court of Appeals. His conviction was affirmed, and the case proceeded to the Supreme Court, which was sharply divided. 
   
   
   
  The cliffhanger facing Abel for the next several years was whether he would face the electric chair, remain in prison for the rest of his life, or be exchanged for an American spy held by the Russians. His fate remained in the balance.

  The Small Town - from...

  What happens to the American small town when the wider world finally comes within reach? 
   
  In this incisive essay from *Civilization in the United States*, journalist Louis Raymond Reid examines the provincial culture, restless ambition, and growing dissatisfaction that shaped rural American life in the early twentieth century. 
   
  Before the arrival of automobiles, motion pictures, and popular magazines, the small town offered few diversions beyond church socials, local clubs, public parades, and familiar community rituals. For imaginative young people, its quiet streets and rigid expectations could feel less like security than confinement. 
   
  Modern technology changes everything. Cars make distant cities and resorts accessible, while movies and magazines reveal lifestyles once hidden beyond the local horizon. Yet greater awareness does not necessarily produce a richer hometown culture. Instead, it often intensifies the desire to leave. 
   
  Reid follows the ambitious young men and women who abandon their communities in search of opportunity, intellectual freedom, romance, and independence. While sentimental stories imagine them returning home, he observes that most remain in the cities—visiting only briefly to remember the lives they escaped. 
   
  At once critical and unexpectedly affectionate, *The Small Town* explores conformity, boosterism, social hierarchy, urban migration, and the uneasy transformation of rural America during the modern age. 
   
  Originally published in 1922, this concise cultural essay offers a revealing portrait of the forces that reshaped American communities—and continue to influence the divide between small-town life and metropolitan opportunity. 
   
  Narrated by Ryan Durham.
