Living Dictators of the World

Johannes Kneifel

Sinopse

I have been involved in the field of transportation all my life – especially civil aviation and aviation law. At the age of 85, I have decided to publish a book about the dictatorships that exist today. If there are any inaccuracies, I kindly ask for your indulgence. Dictatorships are designed to dominate and rule. In a dictatorship, people are told what to do and what not to do. Sometimes, a person, a family, a political party, or a military junta exercises unlimited power. Dictators often come from the military. Since 2020, there have been military coups in Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina-Faso, and Sudan. The French army, which had contributed to political stabilization in numerous African states, was unfortunately asked to leave their countries by the new military rulers. Instead, the Russian mercenary force Wagner took over the previous tasks of the French army. Destabilization takes place wherever the Wagner mercenary force is active. In addition, the Islamist terrorist organizations in Africa have exacerbated the precarious situation. Some dictators have gone to school or studied in Europe: the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, Syria’s ruler, Bashar al-Assad or the leader of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot. Once military rulers have taken power, there is rarely a democratic transition of power. Although many African countries have enormous natural resources, they also have significant conflicts, which lead to refugee flows within Africa, Asia, and Western Europe. I have tried to trace the dictators’ lives and have listed their ranking status: Democracy, World Press, and Corruption.

The Foxfire Book of Appalachian...

Kami Ahrens

In 1966 in Rabun County, Georgia, a group of high school English students created theFoxfire magazine, a literary journal that celebrated Appalachian stories, peoples, and culture. The publication was filled with poetry and prose from local students and authors and featured interviews with community members. These oral histories quickly became the focal point of the magazine and, eventually, the material that generated the multivolume Foxfire book series. 
 
Now, pulled from the vast Foxfire archive comes the first volume in the series focused specifically on the lives of Appalachian women. These remarkable narratives illuminate a diverse regional culture held together by the threads that are woven between women and place, and through generations. Told sometimes with humor, sometimes with sadness, but always with a gripping rawness and honesty, the stories recount women’s lived experiences from the 1960s to the present. The interviews cover work, family, and community, illuminating Cherokee, Black, and white women’s experiences; changes in Appalachian culture; and the importance of relationships in daily life. Reading each interview in this book is almost like joining these women on their porches and in their homes as they take us on a journey through their lives. Taken together, the stories speak against regional stereotypes and offer instead a sampling of the many expressions of these women’s strength.

The Eurasian Century - Hot Wars...

Hal Brands

We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal—which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. 
 
 
 
Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure. 
 
 
 
Hal Brands argues that a better understanding of Eurasia's strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today's world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare, and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the center of twentieth-century geopolitics—with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first.

Denis Collin

Machiavelli has a reputation as an immoral thinker. His most famous work, The Prince, is oftemnm criticized as being a manual for political cunning and cynicism.
On the contrary, Machiavelli invites us to face up to political and human reality. Faced with illusions and moralistic rhetoric, we must seek the truth and adopt a scientific approach to seriously reflect upon action.
This introduction provides us with the keys to understanding The Prince, a foundational book of modern political thought, and the relevance of its teachings for our contemporary societies.

The Frogs

Aristophanes

In The Frogs, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes crafts a comedic and satirical journey to the underworld, where the god Dionysus seeks to bring back a great tragic playwright to save Athens. Disguised as Heracles, Dionysus embarks on a series of farcical adventures, culminating in a contest between the spirits of Aeschylus and Euripides to determine who is the superior dramatist. Blending sharp wit, literary critique, and political commentary, the play mocks contemporary Athenian culture while celebrating the power of art to shape society. With its lively dialogue, clever wordplay, and fantastical premise—including a chorus of frogs whose croaking becomes a memorable refrain—The Frogs remains a brilliant example of classical comedy that explores the role of tragedy, leadership, and the moral health of the state. Entertaining and thought-provoking, it offers enduring insights into literature, democracy, and human folly.
