Sinopse

In "Germany's High Seas Fleet in the World War," Reinhard Scheer presents a meticulously detailed account of the naval strategies and operations of the Imperial German Navy during the First World War. Scheer employs a commanding literary style, combining personal narrative with technical analysis, effectively situating his work within the broader historical and military context of early 20th-century warfare. The book examines pivotal naval battles, strategic doctrines, and the fleet's eventual decline, offering insights into the realities of maritime warfare, the challenges faced, and the complex interplay of technology and tactics. Reinhard Scheer, who served as the commander of the High Seas Fleet, brings a first-hand perspective enriched by his extensive naval career. His experience at the helm of Germany's primary naval force during this tumultuous period endowed him with unique insights, making him not just an observer but also a key player in the events he narrates. Scheer's intimate understanding of maritime conflict and his commitment to presenting a thorough account of the German naval experience underscore the significance of his work. This book is essential for both scholars and enthusiasts of military history. It offers an unparalleled glimpse into the operational mindset of one of the war's key naval figures, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the strategic and tactical dimensions of Germany's naval engagements. Scheer's narrative is not only informative but also serves as a testament to the complexities of leadership in wartime, making it a must-read for anyone interested in naval warfare or World War I.

    "religion's been cruel to people like usthe darkwood sluts      the good time girlsbut god as my witnesssome of us           we're just trying to wrangle our powerback from the species that took it"
    Jemima Foxtrot's Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation which explores power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth's possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.
    "Treasure is an aptly chosen title for this collection, both as a noun (that quantity of precious ore dug from the stuff of experience) and as a verb (the imperative to seek out, sing, and cherish joy through the sharing of it). Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, poems of being-in-the-body, and being-in-the-world; they are full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance. These are also formally exciting poems, poems that showcase a beautifully bold and oddly tender lyric defiance." Fran Lock, Hyena, T.S. Eliot Prize Shortlist

    FBI’s Most Controversial...

    No single figure in 20th century American history inspires such opposing opinions as J. Edgar Hoover, the iconic first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In his time, he was arguably the most powerful non-elected figure in the federal government. Serving under eight presidents (and outliving two of them), he remains the longest-serving head of a major government office, and Hoover died as he began: a civil servant, having been appointed by the Attorney General and serving at the pleasure of the president. That said, no civil servant had ever accrued to themselves the power and public attention that Hoover did. 
    To many Americans in mid-20th century, Hoover seemed like a real American hero. In a country suffering from the Great Depression and the crime wave of the early 1930s, Hoover was the symbol of law and order as his “G-Men” used the newest in scientific crime solving methods to bring gangsters like John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson to justice. During World War II, the FBI helped protect a country at war from German and Japanese spies and saboteurs. In the 1950s, at the dawn of the Cold War, Americans saw the FBI leading the charge against Soviet spies and domestic communists who seemed to be undermining the institutions of the country. Many boys across the country wanted to be G-Men, helping Mr. Hoover ferret out anyone who would harm the United States. 
    Few things have colored Hoover’s reputation quite like COINTELPRO, which has become the FBI’s most notorious operation, one that still has lasting ramifications. From 1956-1971, the FBI waged a secret war in America through a series of projects against groups believed to be potentially subversive, including various people and organizations involved in women’s rights, civil rights, Native American rights, anti-war groups, and even groups that supported animal rights.
