Synopsis

"The Cold War" explores the intense ideological and geopolitical standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, a conflict that profoundly shaped the late 20th century. Delving into the nuclear arms race, the book reveals how close the world came to potential annihilation, highlighting the pervasive fear and intricate espionage battles that defined the era. Understanding this period is crucial for grasping contemporary international relations and the ongoing challenges of nuclear proliferation, offering insights into how proxy wars reshaped global power dynamics. 

 
The book examines the Cold War's origins in the aftermath of World War II, tracing the escalating tensions through key events like the Berlin Blockade and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Structured chronologically and thematically, it progresses from the ideological roots of the conflict to major confrontations and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. Drawing upon declassified documents and scholarly analyses, the book provides a balanced account, avoiding simplistic narratives and acknowledging the complexities of this pivotal period in military history and world history.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
     
    Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call "racial capitalism"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover 
     
    ● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression, 
    ● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence, 
    · lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling, 
    ● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and 
    ● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values. 
     
    Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice? 
     
    Readers will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.

    The Scheme - How the Right Wing...

    Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
