  Welcome to Photography and Lynching in America: Without Sanctuary. In this powerful exploration, we confront the painful and often overlooked history of racial violence in the United States, particularly focusing on the practice of lynching in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This audiobook examines not just the brutality of these acts, but the ways in which they were immortalized through photography, turning horrific moments of racial terrorism into public spectacles. 
  Through the lens of these photographs, we see the complicity of ordinary white citizens and community leaders who participated in, or stood by, as these brutal acts unfolded. We’ll also delve into the disturbing justifications used to defend lynching, such as the perpetuation of white supremacy and false narratives surrounding black criminality. But this history is not just about the past—it’s about how these acts continue to shape the racial landscape of America today. 
  As we journey through this dark chapter of American history, we’ll explore the resilience of black communities, the fight for justice, and the lasting impact of these events. This audiobook seeks to not only remember these atrocities but to understand how they continue to influence the ongoing struggle against racism in America. Stay with us as we peel back the layers of this history and face its painful truths, in the hope of building a more just and equal future.

  Seamus Justin Heaney (April 13, 1939 to August 30, 2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. Among his best-known works is Death of a Naturalist (1966), his first major published volume. American poet Robert Lowell described Heaney as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats." Heaney delivered his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech in Stockholm on December 7, 1995--a powerful defense of poetry as "the ship and the anchor" of our spirit within an ocean of violent, divisive politics and world-sorrow.

  America's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post–Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations. 
   
   
   
  In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush's approach to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the core of Leffler's account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush's preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein's brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator's record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.
