    It didn't begin with Donald Trump. Since the time of FDR, the Republican Party has been home to conspiracy thinking, including a belief that lost elections were rigged. And when Republicans later won the White House, the party elevated their presidents to heroic status—a predisposition that eventually posed a threat to democracy. John Kenneth White proposes to explain why this happened—not just the election of Trump but the authoritarian shift in the party as a whole that led to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and its aftermath. 
     
     
     
    White presents a clear and concise analysis of how the modern Republican Party came to be by tracing historical patterns that reach back to the 1930s. He argues that the rise of Republican authoritarianism has been decades in the making, going back to the desperation that took hold among party elites in the wake of twenty years of Democratic dominance between 1932 and 1952. The fear of losing that overtook the party during the Roosevelt period eventually led to an escalation of intrigue that included the rise of the John Birch Society in the 1950s and QAnon today. White traces the development of this culture of conspiracy theories within the GOP and explains how the emphasis on winning at any cost created a cult of personality and a willingness to seize power by any means necessary.

    The Invisible Woman: The True Story of Virginia Hall, the American Female Spy Who Outwitted the Nazis and Helped Win World War II uncovers the remarkable life of one of the most daring and effective spies of World War II. Operating behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Europe, Virginia Hall's contributions were crucial to the success of the Allied war effort, yet her story remained largely hidden for decades.
     
    Born in 1906 in Baltimore, Hall was an unlikely candidate for espionage, yet after losing her leg in a hunting accident, she defied the odds and became one of the most feared operatives in the Allied intelligence community. Despite the deeply ingrained gender biases and the physical limitations imposed by her prosthetic leg, Hall outsmarted the Gestapo and played a pivotal role in disrupting Nazi operations, particularly in France. Her work with the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) directly contributed to critical victories, including the success of D-Day.
     
    Though she was dubbed "the most dangerous Allied spy in France," Hall was never publicly recognized during her lifetime. Her story remained overshadowed, buried under layers of secrecy, sexism, and institutional neglect. It wasn’t until decades later that the world began to uncover the extent of her achievements, with statues, books, and documentaries finally bringing her legacy into the light.
     
    The Invisible Woman is a tribute to Virginia Hall’s courage, intelligence, and resilience. It not only recounts the thrilling espionage operations that helped win the war but also addresses the systemic biases Hall faced — gender, disability, and institutional neglect — offering a powerful reflection on the fight for recognition that continues for women in history.
