Synopsis

Political Museums explores how museums become tools for shaping public opinion and reinforcing political power through curated history. These institutions, often perceived as neutral, can selectively present historical narratives to promote specific ideologies, influencing how we collectively remember the past. The book investigates the creation and manipulation of historical narratives within museum settings, highlighting how historical events are reinterpreted or omitted to serve political goals. By examining museum display designs, the book reveals how these spaces actively construct and reinforce narratives that legitimize political power. The book analyzes case studies from various countries, showcasing the diverse strategies used to promote specific political ideologies. It delves into the ethical implications of politically motivated historical representation, such as censorship and the suppression of dissenting voices. Readers will gain insights into how museums function as agents of propaganda, shaping historical narratives to align with state power. Understanding historical revisionism becomes crucial as the book progresses, empowering visitors to critically assess museum information and consider alternative perspectives. Ultimately, Political Museums aims to inform and provoke critical thinking about the role of these institutions in shaping our understanding of the past. It challenges the assumption of objectivity in museum displays, urging visitors to become more critical consumers of historical information. The book progresses by introducing the concept of curated history, analyzing case studies, and discussing ethical implications, providing a comprehensive understanding of political museums and their impact on collective memory.

    Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
     
    The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
     
    From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.

    This insider assessment of American military involvement in Syria offers “a fascinating and down-to-earth look at the war against [ISIS]” (Military Heritage Magazine). 
     
    The US military campaign in alliance with Kurdish forces in Syria remains a rare success story in the age of the War on Terror. Considering the military victory, the civilian government that followed the fighting, the light military footprint and the strong link to Kurdish partners, the intervention against ISIS in Syria is widely regarded as the nation’s most successful campaign since World War II.  
     
    In this volume, three authors who participated directly in the conflict offer a rare ground-level view of how it turned into a just war. Between the three of them, they participated in all the large Kurdish operations against the Islamic State between late 2014 and mid-2016. They endured muddy archaic trench warfare, witnessed the first waves of decisive US and British airstrikes against ISIS, and experienced the impact America had on the battlefield.  
     
    Later, when American, British and French Special Forces were deployed at the front lines, the authors worked closely with those teams, evacuating hundreds of wounded from the battlefield together. Based on their unique insights, they analyses America’s war in Syria, identifying its distinct phases from the secretive build up to the ultimate destruction of the ISIS Caliphate.
