Trump 20 The comeback - What lies ahead for America

Glauco Maggi

Summary

There was no evidence to prove the accusations that Trump had been robbed of victory in 2020, and on January 6, 2021, he hit the lowest point of his exceptional human and political journey.
A surprise winner of the White House in 2016 after a lifetime as a businessman in real estate and on television, Trump refused to accept the verdict of the ballot box four years later and failed to do enough to prevent protests by his most fervent supporters. This culminated in the assault on Capitol Hill on the day Biden’s victory in the November 2020 election was officially confirmed. Many, myself included, saw this as Trump’s “political suicide.” Yet, it was the pivotal point of his career, because, after surviving two assassination attempts, the people re-elected him with a majority of the popular vote. This book takes an in-depth look at his comeback, driven by the populist proletarian movement that characterizes America’s “flyover country,” snubbed by the coastal elites who jet over it without actually seeing it.
Trump was able to tap into the discontent of the lower and middle classes, impoverished by inflation. Against trite accusations of racism, he responded by increasing support among Black and Hispanic communities, and to a nation tired of political correctness – known as the “woke” movement these days – he offered the common-sense values of security, prosperity and pride in being American.

Sound N’ Fury - Rock N’ Roll...

Alan Niven

Most rock ’n’ roll books are a bore. They all have the same narrative arc and are aimed at the dwindling following that now follows an artist that has long passed their AARP date. 
		 
Sound N’ Fury does not have a story arc. It is a collection of anecdotes, like a record comprised of various tracks — each one has its point and purpose. Alan Niven, who guided Guns N’ Roses from the gutter of Los Angeles to Wembley Stadium, shares stories from his remarkable life as a manager with an immediacy delivered by an extraordinary recall of dialogue. Readers will encounter not just Guns N’ Roses (who have sold almost 10 million tickets to their shows) but The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Clarence Clemons, Whitesnake, Elton John, and others who came from humble origins and experienced fame known only to few. Small-town minds collided with worldwide adulation, expectations, and demands. The results are amusing, affirming, and, predictably, disastrous. Keep in mind that rock ’n’ roll is God’s occupation for the unemployable.
		 
Written with a crisp and fluid style, the magnificence and idiocy of the music world will dance off the pages and engross even those who are not rock fans.

Twelve Years a Slave

Solomon Northup

"They can take your freedom, but they cannot take your identity."

In 1841, Solomon Northup was a professional violinist and family man living in Saratoga Springs, New York. After being lured to Washington D.C. with the promise of work, he was drugged, shackled, and stripped of his name. For the next twelve years, he was passed from master to master in the bayous of Louisiana, enduring the sadistic cruelty of men like Edwin Epps while witnessing the quiet heroism of his fellow enslaved people. Twelve Years a Slave is a visceral, unflinching look at the "peculiar institution" through the eyes of a man who knew both the dignity of liberty and the agony of the lash. It remains a foundational text of American history and a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.

The Mechanics of Oppression: Northup provides a meticulous, almost journalistic description of the economics and daily operations of the slave trade. He details the cultivation of cotton and sugar, the social hierarchies of the plantation, and the psychological warfare used to keep human beings in subjection.

A Quest for Justice: The narrative is propelled by Northup's secret attempts to communicate with his family in the North. His eventual rescue is a heart-stopping moment of tension and triumph, highlighting the legal and social complexities of a divided nation where a man's status as "property" or "person" could depend entirely on the color of his skin and the geography of his location.

Why It Is a Vital Classic: While many narratives were edited to suit political agendas, Northup's account is praised for its stark realism and descriptive power. It provides names, dates, and locations that were later verified by historians, making it one of the most credible and devastating indictments of slavery ever written.

The Boy Who Survived Auschwitz

Adriana Lerman

Levi Lerman was a cheerful and lively boy from the town of Ostrowiec. He was only fourteen years old when his life took an unimaginable turn with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when the Nazi forces invaded Poland and occupied his hometown.
Over a painful six-year period, Levi endured a harsh life in the Ostrowiec ghetto, suffered devastating losses, performed exhausting forced labor, and survived countless transfers to concentration camps, including the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In the middle of this torment, a single light guided him through the darkness: his unbreakable determination to live and to protect his father—a strength that helped him survive against all odds.
