Summary

For sixty years, the armies of the tsar fought a multi-generational ethnic and religious war against the mountain peoples of the Caucasus, leaving a deep cultural impact on the participants and their descendants which resounds to this day. Translated into English for the first time, The Sixty-Year Caucasian War is the seminal account of this tumultuous contest. Through the clear and experienced eyes of the 19th century chronicler Rostislav Fadeev, who was himself a distinguished multi-decade veteran of the war, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of the key players, battles, and political dynamics that shaped this decisive period in Russian history.

Until the appointment of Prince Baryatinsky to commander-in-chief of the Russian forces in 1856, the brutal and complex conflict seemed locked in a stalemate after decades of heroic resistance by the Caucasian tribes. In just three years’ time, Baryatinsky was able to break the spine of Caucasian resistance, kill or capture its leadership, and subdue the entirety of the eastern Caucasus. This pivotal work bears witness to the courage and martial prowess of both the Caucasians and their Russian conquerors.

Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present The Sixty-Year Caucasian War as a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of 19th century warfare, the nature of ethnic and religious struggle, and the enduring legacy of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus.

    The remarkable true story of the rise and fall of one of North America's most influential media moguls. 
When George McCullagh bought The Globe and The Mail and Empire and merged them into the Globe and Mail, the charismatic 31-year-old high school dropout had already made millions on the stock market. It was just the beginning of the meteoric rise of a man widely expected to one day be prime minister of Canada. But the charismatic McCullagh had a dark side. Dogged by the bipolar disorder that destroyed his political ambitions and eventually killed him, he was all but written out of history. It was a loss so significant that journalist Robert Fulford has called McCullagh’s biography "one of the great unwritten books in Canadian history"—until now.  
In Big Men Fear Me, award-winning historian Mark Bourrie tells the remarkable story of McCullagh’s inspirational rise and devastating fall, and with it sheds new light on the resurgence of populist politics, challenges to collective action, and attacks on the free press that characterize our own tumultuous era.

    The Cancel Culture Panic - How...

    In this incisive new work, Adrian Daub analyzes the global spread of cancel culture discourse as a moral panic, showing that, though its object is fuzzy, talk of cancel culture in global media has become a preoccupation of an embattled liberalism. There are plenty of conservative voices who gin up worries about cancel culture to advance their agendas. But more remarkable perhaps is that it is centrist, even left-leaning, media that have taken up the rallying cry and really defined the outlines of what cancel culture is supposed to be. 
 
 
 
From French crusades against "le wokisme" via British fables of the "loony left" to a German obsession with campus anecdotes to a global revolt against "gender studies": countries the world over have developed culture war narratives in conflict with the US, and, above all, its universities—narratives that they themselves borrowed from the US. 
 
 
 
Who exactly is afraid of cancel culture? To trace how various global publics have been so quickly convinced that cancel culture exists and that it poses an existential problem, Daub compares the cancel culture panic to moral panics past, investigating the powerful hold that the idea of "being cancelled" has on people around the world.

    Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion (1922) argues humans can't fully grasp complex issues. We rely on simplified ideas (stereotypes) and media portrayals ("pseudo-environments") to form opinions. He suggests experts, not the public, should guide society due to these limitations. Though controversial, it remains a crucial text in understanding public opinion, media influence, and the challenges of democracy.
