A rare account of a non-German, Erik Wallin, who fought in the Nazi Party’s Waffen-SS during World War II—a no-holds-barred narrative of the Eastern Front. This is the exciting true story of Erik Wallin, a Swedish soldier who volunteered for the Waffen-SS during World War II. Wallin served in the Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion of the 11th SS Panzergrenadier Division “Nordland,” a unit composed largely of men from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Sent to the Eastern Front, the 11th SS fought in the Courland Pocket in late 1944 and then battled the Red Army along the Oder River and in Berlin, where the Soviets destroyed the division. Few memoirs of non-Germans in the Waffen-SS exist, and Twilight of the Gods ranks among the very best. “Provides an insight into how a Waffen-SS soldier reflects on the recent past . . . [and] how the SS myth was created . . . direct and raw.” —Samuel de Korte, Traces of WarShow book
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of "imitation democracy," marked by "a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule." How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states. Peopled with grey technocrats, warring oligarchs, patriots, and provocateurs, Furman's narrative details the struggles among partisan factions, and the waves of public sentiment, that shaped modern Russia's political landscape, culminating in Putin's third presidential term, which resolves the contradiction between the "form" and "content" of imitation democracy, "the formal dependence of power on elections and the actual dependence of elections on power."Show book
Rabindranath Tagore was born May 7,1861. He was a Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher, social reformer and painter.[2] He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, in 1913 he became the first non-European and lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal". 'Darshan' is considered one of his iconic, seminal works.

In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. But Patsy's story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world—a world struggling through the civil rights movement, reeling from the death of JFK, and cutting loose with the musical innovations from Memphis and Detroit. Patsy develops a close friendship with a guitarist at Stax Recording Studio, giving her firsthand exposure to the early Memphis Soul Sound. Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen opens and closes with the end of Patsy's time at Mississippi State College for Women on that fateful spring morning in 1968 when she entered the Columbus courthouse. Patsy's story, marked with tragedy and triumph, mirrors that of a growing and evolving South, where change never comes easy.Show book
Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.Show book
