  The rise of the new far right has left the world grappling with a profound misunderstanding. While the spotlight often shines on the actions of charismatic leaders, the true peril lies elsewhere. Defeating these people will not stem the tide driving them forward. They are merely the embodiment of profound forces that are rarely understood. Propelled through the vast networks of social media and fueled by far-right influencers, enthralled by images of disaster and fantasies of doom, they have emerged from a reservoir of societal despair, fear, and isolation. Within this seething cauldron, we witness not only the surge of far-right political movements but also the sparks of individual and collective violence against perceived enemies, from 'lone wolf' killers to terrifying pogroms. Should a new fascism emerge, it will coalesce from these very elements. This is disaster nationalism. 
   
   
   
  Richard Seymour delves deep into this alarming development in world politics, dissecting its roots, its influencers, and the threats it poses. With meticulous analysis and compelling storytelling, Seymour offers a stark warning. The battle against disaster nationalism is not just political; it is a struggle for our collective soul and the future of civilization itself. Unless we understand the deeper forces propelling the far-right resurgence, we have little chance of stopping it.

  A German air force officer’s first person account of aerial battle during the invasion of Sicily in WWII.   In an account of unusual power, Luftwaffe ace Johannes Steinhoff draws from his personal World War II diary to recount the final days of the German air force on Sicily in June and July 1943. Facing crushing odds—including a commander, Hermann Goring, who contemptuously treated his pilots as cowards—Steinhoff and his fellow Messerschmitt 109 pilots took to the skies day after day to meet waves of dreaded Flying Fortresses and swarms of Allied fighters, all bent on driving the Germans from the island.

  Dramatis Personae is a four part autobiographic collection, published by Yeats in 1936 and detailing incidents, events, and people he met who influenced his artistic development as a poet.
  
  The first section is Dramatis Personae and describes Yeats' meetings with Lady Augusta Gregory at Coole Park, Galway, which eventually led to the creation of the Irish National Theatre Society and the opening of the Abbey Theatre in 1904.
  
  The second section, Estrangement, deals with Yeat's anxiety that his works were not accessible to their intended audience, the Irish people. Yeats came from a wealthy Anglo-Irish Protestant family but became a committed nationalist, attracted to Celtic mysticism, legends and folklore. Nonetheless he lamented that, as part of the elite and an intellectual artist, he felt aloof from the common Irish Catholic population who were largely indifferent to his work.
  
  The third section, The Death Of Synge, describes Yeats' association with John Millington Synge, the child of a wealthy Anglo-Irish Protestant family. Yeats encouraged Synge to travel to the Aran Islands to study the Irish peasants and fishermen who lived there and to use them as inspiration for his work.
  
  In the fourth and final section, The Bounty Of Sweden, Yeats' pays tribute to Sweden for awarding him with the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature in 1923. The award was given to Yeats in the period immediately after the end of the Irish Civil War when the Irish Free State emerged as a newly independent nation. Yeats sought to use the event to establish himself as the cultural representative of Irish independence and Irish nationalism.

  A collection of the most influential speeches by Marcus Tullius Cicero, Rome’s greatest orator and statesman, The Orations of Cicero showcases his rhetorical brilliance, political principles, and defense of the Roman Republic. Spanning legal arguments, public denunciations, and philosophical reflections, these speeches reveal Cicero’s efforts to uphold justice, combat corruption, and resist the rise of autocracy—most notably in his fierce opposition to Mark Antony in the Philippics . Written with eloquence and moral conviction, Cicero’s orations remain foundational texts in the study of rhetoric, law, and classical political thought. They offer invaluable insight into the turbulent final years of the Roman Republic and the mind of a man who believed deeply in the power of words to shape history, preserve liberty, and defend the rule of law.
