Beschreibung

Gulag Networks explores the vast network of forced labor camps within the Soviet Union, revealing its integral role in Soviet politics, society, and the economy. The book highlights that the Gulag system was not merely a tool for political repression under Stalin, but a fundamental component of the Soviet economic model. This system provided essential labor for large-scale industrial projects like mining and forestry, showcasing the interconnectedness between the camps and the state's ambitions. The book analyzes the evolution of the Gulag, the harsh realities of life within the camps, and its deep connection to the Communist Party's political goals.

 
The book examines how the Gulag system expanded from its inception into a massive network of camps and settlements filled with political prisoners and others deemed undesirable. It traces the policies that led to mass arrests and deportations, and details the camp hierarchy and survival strategies employed by prisoners. By drawing on archival documents, memoirs, and statistical data, Gulag Networks presents a quantitative analysis of the Gulag's impact, connecting it to broader fields like criminology and economic history. The book uniquely focuses on the Gulag as a complex, interconnected network rather than isolated camps, emphasizing how deeply forced labor penetrated Soviet society.

 
Progressing from the origins and expansion of the Gulag to its economic functions and lasting legacy, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of this dark chapter of world history, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in Soviet history, human rights, and the dangers of unchecked state power.

    In this innovative and concise work, Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu offers a compelling approach to understanding and fighting the increase in domestic and international terrorism throughout the world. Citing diverse examples from around the globe, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society which can successfully roll back terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism which is increasingly the product of Islamic militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was Soviet Communism. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this provocative book.

    The Murder Game

    From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cain’s Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits. 
    With books flourishing in the 1920s and ’30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers. 
    The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s? 
    In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the ‘whodunit’ game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves. 
    Coinciding with an increase in leisure time and literacy, the Golden Age also saw the development of the crossword, the growth of bridge and Mahjong, the enduring popularity of jigsaws and the emergence of Cluedo – all activities requiring the ‘little grey cells’. The Murder Game considers all of these, and many other sporting and competitive recreations, helping to explain the reading public’s ongoing love affair with the Golden Age. 
    John Curran, in his latest non-fiction, delves into the mystery of the enduring appeal of detective fiction from the 20th century. He explores the games played not just within the stories, but also between the writers, publishers, and readers, making this a must-read for any fan of the genre. 
    For fans of G. K. Chesterton (Saint Francis of Assisi), Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), and Carla Valentine (Murder Isn't Easy).

    Dave Ferman is a former high school English and science teacher, and a communications executive in the world's largest defense corporation. In 1956, he completed a tour as a U.S. Marine Grunt, a drill instructor, a military policeman, and a pilot. He also served in Sixth Fleet Air Intelligence with a clandestine atom bomber squadron in the Mediterranean Theatre, and on the West Bank and volatile "Green Line" between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan. Along the way, he earned a succession of hard-to-get, easy-to-lose top U.S. security clearances that make him among the most highly vetted rookie authors in literature today. Uncle Sam trusts Dave Ferman. 
     While growing up in urban Kansas during the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, World War II and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, Dave had several unrelated but pleasant paranormal experiences. Curious and wishing for encores at age five, in denial at age 10, and comfortably nonjudgemental until age 44 when his deceased father visited Dave one evening during a period of extreme financial stress to assure him: “Don’t worry, son. Everything is going to be alright.“ and very soon it was. After that, Dave became a converted believer in some form of life after death. What other choices did he have? 
    Dave’s message is twofold: “Don’t despair, if all goes well, you and your departed loved ones will be reunited in the hereafter,“ and “I am no longer afraid to die; and you should not be, either.“
