  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).

  The Making of Modern New Zealand...

  Before the arrival of Europeans, New Zealand, or Aotearoa, was inhabited solely by the Māori people, who had arrived from Polynesia over a thousand years earlier. Their ancestors navigated vast distances across the Pacific Ocean, using their advanced knowledge of stars, winds, and ocean currents. They eventually settled in Aotearoa, forming distinct tribal communities known as iwi, each with its own territory, social structures, and traditions. 
  The Māori society was organized around iwi (tribes), hapū (sub-tribes), and whānau (families). Each iwi had a paramount chief, or rangatira, who was responsible for making decisions that affected the entire tribe. The rangatira was supported by a council of elders, or kaumatua, who provided guidance based on wisdom and experience. The hapū, made up of extended families, was the primary unit of Māori society, with a strong emphasis on kinship and collective responsibility. 
  Māori were deeply connected to the land, or whenua, and believed that their ancestors, the atua, or gods, imbued the earth, sea, and sky with sacred energy. This connection formed the foundation of Māori spiritual beliefs, which revolved around whakapapa (genealogy), mana (spiritual power or authority), and tapu (sacredness). Their spiritual worldview tied their identity to the land and natural resources, and they saw themselves as stewards, responsible for the care and preservation of the environment.

  This collection brings together three essential studies: Social Class and Mobility, Inequality and Society, and The Power of Social Networks, offering insights into how class and socioeconomic status influence opportunities, access to resources, and life outcomes. 
  Social Class and Mobility examines the structures that define social classes and the factors that enable or hinder upward mobility. It explores the barriers and opportunities for individuals to change their class status, focusing on the roles of education, wealth, race, and family background in determining one's ability to move across social hierarchies. 
  Inequality and Society analyzes the persistent and growing disparities in wealth, power, and opportunity. The book looks at the root causes of inequality and its societal consequences, examining how systemic structures perpetuate disparities and what can be done to address them. From income inequality to access to healthcare, this book discusses the multifaceted nature of social inequality and its effects on communities. 
  The Power of Social Networks explores the crucial role that social connections play in social mobility and life chances. It discusses how networks influence access to job opportunities, resources, and social capital, and how these networks can either reinforce or challenge existing social hierarchies. The book also looks at how digital and online networks are transforming traditional social structures. 
  Together, these three books offer a comprehensive understanding of the factors that shape social class, mobility, and inequality in contemporary society. They provide an in-depth look at how individuals and communities navigate the complex terrain of class and opportunity.
