    America Made Me a Black Man - A...

    NAACP Image Award Nominee · NPR Best Book of 2022 
    A searing memoir of American racism from a Somalian-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Blacks in his adopted land, the United States. 
    “No one told me about America.”  
     Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, Boyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States.  
    Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African outsider’s perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives and attempts to heal a fracture in Black men’s identity.

    Blitzkrieg - The Lightning...

    The outbreak of World War II in 1939 heralded the arrival of a new era in military strategy, characterized by speed, surprise, and relentless coordination. At the heart of this revolution was Blitzkrieg, or "lightning warfare," a doctrine developed and executed primarily by Nazi Germany. Blitzkrieg was a military strategy that sought to overcome the static, trench-based warfare that had defined World War I. The tactics were designed to strike quickly and decisively, bypassing traditional defenses and causing maximum disruption. Its goal was not just to win battles but to create a psychological shock, overwhelming the enemy with rapid, coordinated strikes before they could mount a defense. 
      
    Unlike previous strategies that relied heavily on prolonged engagements and entrenched frontlines, Blitzkrieg emphasized speed and flexibility. The term itself was popularized by the media, but it aptly described the essence of the tactics: a rapid, forceful onslaught combining armored vehicles, infantry, and air support in a synchronized fashion. The Wehrmacht, under the leadership of figures like General Heinz Guderian, adapted the lessons of the past and fused them with new technology, creating a military machine that was faster and more mobile than any seen before. 
      
    The strategy was grounded in the belief that modern warfare required more than just brute force; it needed precision, rapid maneuvering, and the element of surprise. The mechanized forces, including tanks (Panzer divisions) and aircraft (Luftwaffe), worked in tandem to create an unstoppable offensive. They would punch through enemy lines with armored columns and then encircle and isolate units, preventing them from retreating or reinforcing. The Luftwaffe, meanwhile, would provide air superiority, neutralizing enemy air forces and bombing key infrastructure.

    The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
