  • Architects of Terror: Paranoia Conspiracy and Anti-Semitism in Franco’s Spain - cover

    Architects of Terror: Paranoia...

    A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 
From the preeminent historian of 20th century Spain Paul Preston, Architects of Terror is a new history of how paranoia, conspiracy and anti-Semitism was used to justify the military coup of 1936 and enabled the construction of a dictatorship built on violence and persecution. 
It is the previously untold story of how antisemitic beliefs were weaponised to justify and propagate the Franco overthrow of liberal Spain. 
The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent ‘Jewish- Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy’. Despite the fact that Spain had only a tiny minority of Jews and Freemasons, Franco and his inner circle were ardent believers in this fabricated conspiracy and spread the notion that the survival of Catholic Spain, as well, of course, of the establishment ’ s economic interests, required the total annihilation of Jews and Freemasons. 
Architects of Terror is the story of how fake news, mendacity, corruption and nostalgia for lost empire generated violence and hatred. The book presents vivid portraits of the key ideologues who propagated the myth of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy and of the military figures who implemented the atrocities that it justified. Among the convictions shared by these individuals was their belief in the idea that Freemasonry was responsible for Spain ’ s loss of empire and in the factual veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious fiction about the global domination of the Jews. 
This is a history that reverberates in our own political moment 
In his latest work, Architects of Terror, Paul Preston presents a compelling narrative of the Spanish military coup of 1936, a historical event marred by paranoia, conspiracy, and anti-Semitism. The book, a must-read in the biography and historical genre, uncovers the role of fake news, corruption, and nostalgia in generating violence and hatred. 
For fans of Antony Beevor (Arnhem), Giles Tremlett (The International Brigades), Adam Hochschild (American Midnight), Anne Applebaum (Red Famine), and Ernest Hemingway (Ernest Hemingway on Writing).

    For decades, we believed that someone with a high IQ was guaranteed success, but we’ve seen this theory fail time and time again. We see the average student in school, the one without any special talents, catapult himself to the heights of success while the promising straight-A student flounders as soon as he leaves the rigors of school life. We’ve seen charismatic people fly to heights of stardom while the smart ones look like they’re circling the drain for the last time and needing someone to rescue them. 
Scientists have now realized that the path to success based on intellectual intelligence is only half of the equation. There is another form of intelligence that has only been recognized in the last few decades: our emotional intelligence. In this book, we’re going to discuss exactly what emotional intelligence is and how we can train it to make us more effective communicators, build up positive and rewarding relationships, and how to identify our innermost emotions; especially the ones that are triggering those self-sabotaging behaviors that are keeping us from our goals. 
This audiobook consists of 8 chapters. 
Chapter 1: What is Emotional Intelligence? 
Chapter 2: Signs of Lower EI 
Chapter 3: Signs of Higher EI 
Chapter 4: Why EI is Important 
Chapter 5: How to Develop Emotional Intelligence

    Say Hello to My Little Friend -...

    When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's Scarface—revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago—when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . 
 
 
 
Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream—whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born—and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.
