Summary

Cossack Warriors explores the history of the Cossacks, a unique group of steppe peoples who significantly impacted Russian military history and Eastern European affairs. The book examines their evolution from frontier dwellers to a formidable military force within the Russian Empire, highlighting their complex relationship with Tsarist Russia. It emphasizes their struggle for autonomy and self-governance while serving as border guards and shock troops.

 
The study reveals that the Cossacks were not simply warriors but a dynamic society shaped by both internal aspirations and external pressures. The book analyzes their participation in numerous regional conflicts, including wars against the Ottoman Empire and internal rebellions, showcasing their often contradictory roles.

 
The approach integrates military history, social anthropology, and political science to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Cossack phenomenon. Beginning with the origins and social structure of the Cossacks, the book progresses through key historical periods, examining their involvement in major wars and their intricate relations with Russian authorities. It dedicates chapters to analyzing their autonomy and the instrumentalization of Cossack identity by Russian governments.

 
Concluding with an assessment of their enduring legacy in modern Russia and Ukraine, the book offers a balanced and nuanced perspective suitable for both academic researchers and general readers interested in world history and military history.

    "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aka "Civil Disobedience" is a seminal essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849 under the title "Resistance to Civil Government." 
    As you listen to the reading of "Civil Disobedience," consider the historical context of mid-19th century America, a time of intense political and moral upheaval. The issues that Thoreau addresses—justice, government, and personal responsibility—are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

    The Myth of Left and Right - How...

    A groundbreaking argument that the political spectrum today is inadequate to twenty-first-century America and a major source of the confusion and hostility that characterize contemporary political discourse. 
     
     
     
    As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of "liberal" and "conservative." Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.
