Synopsis

Samoan Conflicts explores how Samoa became a focal point in the geopolitical struggles between Germany, Britain, and the United States during the age of imperialism. This book examines the impact of colonial rivalries on the Samoan people, demonstrating how external powers manipulated internal political structures for their strategic and economic gain. One intriguing fact is that the Berlin Act of 1889, intended to stabilize the region, instead intensified the competition among these powers and fueled Samoan civil wars. The book highlights the resilience of Samoan nationalism in the face of foreign intervention.

 
The book progresses chronologically, from pre-colonial Samoan society and initial interactions with Europeans, to the escalating rivalry between the colonial powers. It then traces Samoa's path towards independence, emphasizing the rise of Samoan nationalism and the eventual achievement of self-governance.

 
By analyzing diplomatic correspondence, missionary accounts, and indigenous oral histories, Samoan Conflicts offers a multidisciplinary perspective on Samoan history, drawing connections to international relations, political science, and post-colonial studies. This balanced approach acknowledges both the destructive forces of colonialism and the agency of the Samoan people in shaping their future.

American Carnage - Shattering...

Thomas Gabor, Fred Guttenberg

Fred Guttenberg, who lost his beloved daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, and international gun policy consultant Thomas Gabor team up in American Carnage to dismantle some of the most common myths about guns and gun violence. 
 
 
 
A national disgrace. Over 40,000 die each year as a result of gun violence in America. Gun law reforms could reduce the number of gun deaths per year, but many political challenges stand in the way. A widespread multi-year misinformation campaign and assault on truth by the gun lobby and gun-extremists sows doubt about the dangers posed by pervasive gun ownership and gun carrying, as well as the potential effectiveness of gun laws. 
 
 
 
Debunking popular gun myths. Countering with strong evidence-based research the many slogans and myths repeated incessantly by spokespersons for the gun lobby and its surrogates is essential if we are to have a society in which kids can attend school safely and people can work and enjoy life without fear of being shot. Over the last thirty years, the NRA's campaign to achieve an armed society has succeeded in persuading many Americans that having a gun in the home or carrying a gun makes them safer. The evidence is overwhelming this is not the case. Tackling this and other myths is critical.
