Russia - What Everyone Needs to...

Timothy J. Colton

Today's Russia, also known as the Russian Federation, is often viewed as less powerful than the Soviet Union of the past. When stacked against other major nations in the present, however, the new Russia is a formidable if flawed player. 
 
 
 
Russia: What Everyone Needs to Know provides fundamental information about the origins, evolution, and current affairs of the Russian state and society. The story begins with Russia's geographic endowment, proceeds through its experiences as a kingdom and empire, and continues through the USSR's three-quarters of a century, and finally the shocking breakup of that regime a generation ago. Chapters on the failed attempt to reform Communism under Mikhail Gorbachev, the halting steps toward democratization under Boris Yeltsin, and the entrenchment of central controls under Vladimir Putin bring the listener into the contemporary scene and to headline-grabbing events such as Russia's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine and its military intervention in Syria. Drawing on trends within Russia and on ratings and rankings compiled by international organizations, Colton discusses the challenges facing the country—ranging from economic recession to demographic stress, political stagnation, and overextension in foreign policy—and to the realistic options for coping with them.

Simple Sabotage Field Manual

The Office of Strategic Services...

Originally written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), the wartime predecessor to the CIA, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a fascinating and often startling guide to subtle disruption during World War II. Designed to be used by ordinary citizens behind enemy lines, this manual offered clever, low-risk ways to undermine operations—from misfiling paperwork to tampering with machinery and stalling meetings. 
Both a historical curiosity and a chillingly relevant study in passive resistance, the manual outlines how small acts of obstruction—carried out consistently and quietly—could grind an enemy’s war machine to a halt. With its dryly practical tone and surprising creativity, Simple Sabotage Field Manual reveals the hidden tactics of psychological warfare, bureaucratic interference, and grassroots defiance. 
Narrated with gripping precision by Russ Jankovitz, this audiobook brings the shadowy ingenuity of World War II espionage to life, offering listeners a window into how everyday people were weaponized to fight tyranny from within.

The Crucible of Desegregation -...

R. Shep Melnick

Examines the patchwork evolution of school desegregation policy. 
 
In 1954, the Supreme Court delivered the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education—establishing the right to attend a desegregated school as a national constitutional right—but the decision contained fundamental ambiguities. The Supreme Court has never offered a clear definition of what desegregation means or laid out a framework for evaluating competing interpretations. In The Crucible of Desegregation, R. Shep Melnick examines the evolution of federal school desegregation policy from 1954 through the termination of desegregation orders in the first decades of the twenty-first century, combining legal analysis with a focus on institutional relations, particularly the interactions between federal judges and administrators. Melnick argues that years of ambiguous, inconsistent, and meandering Court decisions left lower court judges adrift, forced to apply contradictory Supreme Court precedents in a wide variety of highly charged political and educational contexts. As a result, desegregation policy has been a patchwork, with lower court judges playing a crucial role and with little opportunity to analyze what worked and what didn’t. The Crucible of Desegregation reveals persistent patterns and disagreements that continue to roil education policy.
