  Corridors of Contagion brings to light the experiences of five people incarcerated across the United States as they navigate the onset of the pandemic—and the many months, stretched into years, that followed. Journalist Victoria Law combines this storytelling with a trenchant analysis of the structural failures of the US carceral system: failures that made prisons uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks, from overcrowding to solitary confinement, from insufficient healthcare to life sentences. 
   
   
   
  The book portrays the horrors of continual lockdowns not in the comfort of one's own home, but in prisons where routine violence and chaos is made even more unimaginable by the complete lack of control over protection from a terrifying and lethal new virus. The pandemic provided an opportunity for lawmakers and policy makers to rethink the nation's addiction to perpetual punishment. Instead, US jails and prisons doubled down on punishment under the guise of pandemic protections. As a result, people behind bars experienced increased stress, mental health challenges, increased violence, and higher rates of deaths, many of which could have been prevented. 
   
   
   
  Corridors of Contagion reminds listeners about both the particular horrors experienced by people in cages and the continued role of the US as the world’s prison nation.

  The Paradox of a Smart Atomic...

  The risk of nuclear conflict today is at its highest point in decades. Geopolitical tensions are on the rise, and we are witnessing an unsettling increase in reckless nuclear threats and the use of nuclear blackmail. This has made the long-standing taboo against the use of nuclear weapons appear more fragile than ever before. In 2022, the famous Doomsday Clock was set to a chilling 90 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been since its inception in 1947. This unsettling moment in history underscores just how vulnerable the world has become to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. 
  In this fragile and precarious situation, it becomes even more crucial for the global community to fully grasp the profound humanitarian impact that any use of nuclear weapons would have. Whether in the case of a limited strike or a full-scale nuclear conflict, the consequences would be devastating not just for the immediate areas affected but for all of humanity and the environment. The environmental destruction, the loss of life, and the lasting psychological and societal trauma would ripple across borders, affecting every nation. 
  Greater awareness and a deeper understanding of these consequences are vital for mobilizing the global community to take decisive, collective action. Only through a heightened sense of urgency and responsibility can we work together to prevent the use of nuclear weapons. This awareness is also the key to advancing the cause of nuclear disarmament. Moving away from a security model based on the dangerous idea of mutually assured destruction and toward one focused on cooperation, diplomacy, and peace is not just desirable—it’s essential for ensuring the survival of humanity and the planet for future generations.

  Hitler's Panzer Generals -...

  David Stahel

  • 0

  Germany's success in the Second World War was built upon its tank forces; however, many of its leading generals, with the notable exception of Heinz Guderian, are largely unknown. This biographical study of four German panzer army commanders serving on the Eastern Front is based upon their unpublished wartime letters to their wives. David Stahel offers a complete picture of the men conducting Hitler's war in the East, with an emphasis on the private fears and public pressures they operated under. He also illuminates their response to the criminal dimension of the war as well as their role as leading military commanders conducting large-scale operations. While the focus is on four of Germany's most important panzer generals—Guderian, Hoepner, Reinhardt, and Schmidt—the evidence from their private correspondence sheds new light on the broader institutional norms and cultural ethos of the Wehrmacht's Panzertruppe.
