A True Statesman - George H W Bush and the 'Indispensable Nation'

Robin Renwick

Beschreibung

"What we have been missing" – Henry Kissinger
***
'If the United States does not lead, there will be no leadership. If the US instead turns inward, there will be a price to be paid later.' – George H. W. Bush
Marking thirty years since the end of George H. W. Bush's presidency, Robin Renwick paints a warm, affectionate portrait of a President who sought to unify rather than divide his country, and whose staunch belief in diplomacy strengthened cooperation around the world.
A True Statesman explores Bush's core belief in the United States as the 'indispensable nation' in helping to deal with world crises, charting his efforts to end the Cold War, secure the reunification of Germany and drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait.
Extending beyond Bush's time in office, it also reflects on US foreign policy over the past three decades, examining the consequences of his successors' differing approaches to America's role on the world stage.
Incisively written by a former British Ambassador to Washington, this insider account offers fresh insights into both the 41st President and America's foreign policy from Iran–Contra to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Courage to Speak Your Truth...

Kath Essing

True strength lies in the courage to be yourself and speak your truth. 
When Kath Essing recalled the sexual abuse from her childhood, her life turned upside-down. The secret had been hidden for decades, even from herself.  
After 23 years of navigating her own mental health issues, Kath was ready to face her greatest challenge and disclose the experiences of her childhood sexual abuse to police. 
The complicated history meant it wasn’t going to be easy to prove the historical sexual crimes; but this was more than seeking justice; it was about having the courage to speak up, finding the strength to heal, and shatter the silence that suffocated her. 
This intimate memoir invites the reader into the confronting world of childhood abuse, family dynamics, and the emotional and psychological aspects of surviving and recovering as an adult. Kath’s story inspires readers to reclaim their voice by remembering, recovering, and reportingthe experiences of childhood sexual abuse. 
The Courage to Speak Your Truth helps uplift survivors and enable them to transform their pain to purpose and change the conversation regarding childhood abuse. Kath advocates that together – with courage – survivors can shift the narrative of child abuse and dismantle the silence that maintains its cycle.

Plato’s republic

Plato

The Republic poses questions that endure: What is justice? What form of community fosters the best possible life for human beings? What is the nature and destiny of the soul? What form of education provides the best leaders for a good republic? What are the various forms of poetry and the other arts, and which ones should be fostered and which ones should be discouraged?
 
How does knowing differ from believing? Several characters in the dialogue present a variety of tempting answers to those questions. Cephalus, Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, and Glaucon all offer definitions of justice. Socrates, Glaucon, and Adeimantus explore five different forms of republic and evaluate the merit of each from the standpoint of goodness. Two contrasting models of education are proposed and examined. Three different forms of poetry are identified and analyzed. The difference between knowing and believing is discussed in relation to the objects of each kind of thinking.
