Summary

In the heart of Europe, during the tumultuous year of 1968, a beacon of hope emerged from behind the Iron Curtain. Czechoslovakia, a nation yearning for change, embarked on a daring journey towards freedom and democracy, a movement that came to be known as the Prague Spring.

This book is a comprehensive exploration of this pivotal moment in history, providing a fresh perspective on the events that unfolded in Czechoslovakia and their profound impact on the world. Through meticulous research and analysis, the book delves into the factors that led to the Prague Spring, the reform movement led by Alexander Dubček, and the subsequent Soviet invasion that crushed the nation's aspirations.

Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the political, social, and cultural context of the Prague Spring, as well as the international repercussions of this transformative period. The book examines the role of the Warsaw Pact invasion in shaping the Cold War landscape and its lasting legacy on Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe.

Beyond the historical narrative, the book also explores the enduring significance of the Prague Spring. It examines how the memory of this brief period of liberalization inspired resistance to communist rule and ultimately contributed to the Velvet Revolution of 1989, which led to the overthrow of communism in Czechoslovakia.

This book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge oppression. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of hope. Through the Prague Spring, we are reminded of the fragility of freedom and the importance of standing up for our beliefs, even in the face of adversity.

With its captivating narrative, insightful analysis, and wealth of historical detail, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in modern European history, the Cold War, and the struggle for democracy and freedom.

    Written by Arthur Quinn 
Read by Ed Quinn (with an introduction written and read by Julia Whelan) 
The final book from esteemed Berkeley historian Arthur Quinn, Hell With the Fire Out is both a complex chronicle of a forgotten chapter in American Indian history and a vivid detailing of human foible, folly, and failure. With a novelistic flair, Quinn outlines the sad inevitability of America's westward expansion in its post-Civil War era. Wrangling all the inherent contradictions — Quaker Peace Policy vs Grant and Sherman's War Department; inter- and inner-tribal conflicts; the opposing attitudes of the region's White settlers — Quinn gives us a battle story not merely between nations and governments, but within the hearts of the very individuals at its center. 
This is the first time an audio version of this book has been available and it is read by none other than the author's son, actor Ed Quinn (Two Broke Girls, One Day at a Time, Tyler Perry's The Oval).

    Cyberattacks are the ultimate geopolitical weapon of the twenty-first century. They are used to damage presidential campaigns, shut down electric grids, sway public sentiment, and cost businesses and governments alike billions of dollars. 
Popular culture portrays cyberattacks as unstoppable and mysterious actions taken by shadowy, unpredictable forces. 
Code War: How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield shatters this depiction, revealing nation-state cyberattacks for what they are: calculated, measured actions to achieve state objectives. 
 
World-renowned cybersecurity expert Allie Mellen draws on her extensive experience with nation-state cyberattacks and AI threats to break down how and why nations deploy cyberattacks in their own unique ways, driven by their military doctrine, national history, and, most importantly, geopolitical strategy. 
 
Mellen deconstructs the most infamous cyberattacks of our time to reveal how and why attacks like Stuxnet, WannaCry, NotPetya, and the Sony Pictures hack happened and how their success altered the international landscape. 
Code War also demonstrates how individuals, business professionals, and government officials can use this knowledge to understand and respond to the practical realities of nation-state cyberattacks.

    Do you like epic tales that sing the deeds of the world’s greatest heroes? 
If so, you will love this volume of epics from the West African country of Mali. Each is full of battles and derring-do, magic, and prophecies based on historical events. The Epic of Sunjata tells the tale of the great thirteenth-century king of the Mali Empire, Sunjata Keita, who started life as a disabled boy but rose to become one of Mali’s greatest warriors and king of a vast empire. The Epic of Bakaridjan Koné, a proud epic in its own right, is but a part of the larger Epic of Bambara Segu, one of the longest African epics, detailing the history of the Segu Empire, which lasted from 1712 to 1861. Like Sunjata, Bakaridjan Koné is a formidable warrior; however, he has no designs on power, preferring only to serve his king with valorous deeds.  
Here are just a few of the amazing episodes you’ll read in these epics:How a hunter prophesied that Sunjata would become the king of a great empire.How Sunjata was disabled at birth but learned to walk and gained superhuman strength.Sunjata’s exile from Mali and his growth into manhood.How Sunjata fought and defeated the evil sorcerer-king, Sumanguru Kanté.How a Muslim soothsayer prophesied that Bakaridjan Koné would outshine all of the king’s sons and become the greatest warrior of Segu.How Bakaridjan Koné performed the deeds of a hero while he was yet a boy.How Bakaridjan Koné defeated an evil water jinni that even King Da Monzon was afraid to challenge.How Bakaridjan Koné lost his honor and then regained it. How King Da Monzon tried to assassinate Bakaridjan but was foiled by Bakaridjan’s son.
