Summary

In "Joan and Peter - The Story of an Education," H.G. Wells explores the intricate interplay of individual growth and societal expectations through the lives of two young protagonists. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, Wells employs a vivid narrative style that intertwines realism with insightful psychological depth, capturing the challenges of education, personal development, and the tension between ambition and conformity. The novel delineates the characters' quest for identity, articulating the philosophical debates of the time and reflecting Wells's commitment to social critique, particularly regarding the rigid structures of the educational system. H.G. Wells, a prominent thinker of his era and a pioneering science fiction writer, drew upon his own experiences as an educator in crafting this narrative. His background in social reform and keen observations of class disparities informed the characters' struggles, making this work not merely a coming-of-age story, but also a commentary on the broader societal norms governing education and opportunity. Wells's own educational journey and ideological concerns provide a rich context that enhances the narrative's emotive power. "Joan and Peter" is highly recommended for readers interested in literature that challenges societal norms while exploring the complexities of personal growth. Its blend of engaging storytelling and philosophical reflection offers profound insights into the struggles faced by individuals within prescribed societal frameworks, making it a timeless and thought-provoking read.

    A Measure Short of War - A Brief...

    In 2016, the United States was stunned by evidence of Russian meddling in the US presidential elections. But it shouldn't have been. Subversion—domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival—is as old as statecraft itself. The basic idea would have been familiar to Sun Tzu, Thucydides, Elizabeth I, or Bismarck. 
 
 
 
It came as a surprise in 2016 because the sole superpower had fallen asleep at the wheel. But what's really new? Have we entered a new age of vulnerability? To answer these questions, and to protect ourselves against future subversion, we need a clear-eyed understanding of what it is and how it works. 
 
 
 
In A Measure Short of War, Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide just that, taking the listener on a compelling ride through the history of subversion, exploring two thousand years of mischief and manipulation to illustrate subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and the means for fighting back against it. With vivid examples from the ancient world, the great-power rivalries of the nineteenth century, epic Cold War struggles, and more, A Measure Short of War shows how prior technological revolutions opened up new avenues for subversion, and how some democracies have been fatally weakened by foreign subverters while others have artfully defended themselves—and their democratic principles.
