Sinossi

"Polish Holiday Customs" explores the vibrant traditions that shape Poland's national identity. It delves into how history, religion, and social life intertwine, creating unique celebrations. From tracing the roots of Christmas (Boże Narodzenie) and Easter (Wielkanoc) to examining All Saints' Day (Wszystkich Świętych) and May Day (Święto Pracy), the book reveals how pre-Christian Slavic beliefs melded with Catholic traditions. These customs reinforce community bonds and transmit cultural values, highlighting the resilience of Polish culture through centuries of change.

 
The book uniquely presents a cultural studies perspective, examining how Polish holiday customs have evolved over time. By drawing on ethnographic research, historical documents, and folklore, it illuminates the lived experiences of those who participate in these traditions. Beginning with fundamental concepts, the book progresses through specific holidays, analyzing their historical roots and symbolic meanings, culminating in a discussion of Polish identity in the modern world.

    America's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post–Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations. 
     
     
     
    In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush's approach to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the core of Leffler's account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush's preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein's brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator's record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.

    How do you steal a library? Not just any library but the most secret, heavily guarded archive in the world. The answer is to be a librarian. The work goes on for decades but remains so low key, that even after your escape, no one even notices you are gone.The Spy in the Archive tells the remarkable story of how Vasili Mitrokhin—an introverted archivist—ended up changing the world. As the in-house archivist for the KGB, the secrets he was exposed to turned him into a dissident and then a spy; a traitor to his country but a man determined to expose the truth about the dark forces that had subverted Russia, forces still at work in the country today.Historian and journalist Gordon Corera tells of the operation to extract this prized asset from Russia for the first time. It is an edge-of-the-seat thriller with vivid flashbacks. It is the story of what it was like to live in the Soviet Union, to raise a family there, and then of one man's journey from the heart of the Soviet state to disillusion, betrayal, and defection.At its heart is Mitrokhin's determination to take on the most powerful institution in the world by revealing its darkest secrets. This is narrative nonfiction at its best.
