Sinossi

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.

    With the right to petition the United Nations, the Ewe and Togoland unification movement enjoyed a privilege unmatched by other dependent peoples. Using language conveying insecurity, the movement seized the international spotlight, ensuring that the topic of unification dominated the UN Trusteeship System for over a decade. Yet, its vociferous securitisations fell silent due to colonial distortion, leaving unification unfulfilled, thus allowing the seeds of secessionist conflict to grow. At the intersection of postcolonial theory and security studies, Julius Heise presents a theory-driven history of Togoland's path to independence, offering a crucial lesson for international statebuilding efforts.

    “The unexamined life is not worth living.” What makes someone die for their beliefs? Four Texts on Socrates explores one of history’s most influential thinkers through three of Plato’s dialogues—Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito—and Aristophanes’ satirical play The Clouds. 
    Each work reveals a different side of Socrates. In Euthyphro, he questions the nature of piety and morality. Apology presents his bold defense at trial, where he declares his pursuit of truth worth any cost. In Crito, he refuses to escape prison, choosing to die rather than betray justice. Finally, The Clouds offers a comic, critical portrayal of Socrates as an eccentric sophist, reflecting Athenian tensions toward his radical ideas. 
    Together these texts paint a portrait of a man who challenged authority, questioned tradition, and inspired generations to examine their own lives. Socrates’ humility—“I know that I know nothing”—and his courage in facing death remain deeply relevant. 
    This collection invites readers into timeless philosophical questions: What is justice? How should we live? What is truth worth? Engaging and provocative, these works challenge us, as Socrates did, to think for ourselves.

    Visual Friendlies, Tally Target: Surges continues the story of the role of forward air controllers (JTACs) and Close Air Support (CAS), picking up in 2006 and continuing through 2013. This volume covers the evolution of Joint Fires through the colloquial "second phase" of the War on Terror—the "surges" of Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2010–2011. Vol. II recounts the evolution of air power during the rising counterinsurgencies, as well as the psychology and mental makeup of these exclusive tribes. Notable accounts include the recovery mission of EXTORTION17, the first withdrawal from Iraq, previously unreported missions against insurgent strongholds, and instances where the situational awareness and decision-making of forward air controllers prevented civilian casualties and fratricide. 
     
     
     
    The story carries with it a continuation of the strategic lessons learned from America's longest war: where tactical successes and innovation failed to achieve a strategic outcome amidst ambiguous grand strategy, flawed policy and a failure to understand the new battlefields of the twenty-first century, as recounted by the men whose air power tribes went into the breach again and again. Volume II concludes as the "War on Terror" nominally ended in 2013, as the final phase of the post-9/11 wars transitioned to the "Train, Advise, and Assist" missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
