  The Last Best Hope - A History...

  In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism. 
  In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics. 
  There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.

  Same River Twice - Putin's War...

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2026 MINNA CANTH AWARD 
  LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING  
  Blending the call to action of We Should All Be Feminists with the journalistic rigor of Masha Gessen, “an exquisite feminist critique of Russia’s oppressive tactics" (Kirkus Reviews) revealing how modern Russia’s history of weaponizing sexual violence plays a crucial role in its current geopolitical strategy  
  “It’s one of those books that can truly change a reader's life. . . . A powerful, unforgettable read.” —Andrey Kurkov, award-winning author of Grey Bees and The Silver Bone 
  “Thoughtful, instructive and deeply harrowing.” —Luke Harding, The Guardian 
  On March 22, 2023, the Swedish Academy organized a conference on threats to democracy and freedom of expression featuring a slate of distinguished speakers including Arundhati Roy, Timothy Snyder, and Sofi Oksanen. Oksanen’s address—entitled “Putin's War on Women”— would go on to spark such interest that the acclaimed Finnish writer felt compelled to return to it as the basis for a larger, more in-depth look at Putin’s threat to women. The result is Same River, Twice, a devastating book-length essay that incisively builds on the themes and arguments first presented in her powerful speech. 
  During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Oksanen's great-aunt was arrested and brutally interrogated overnight. Left permanently traumatized by the experience, she would never speak again. Using her family story as a starting point, Oksanen launches an investigation into the systematic crimes that the Russian government has, for nearly a century, committed with impunity. From the Russian military's entry into Berlin in 1945 to its modern invasion of Ukraine, Russia has continually employed violence against women when combatting its enemies. Life for women in Putin's Russia is little better; gender equality is in decline, women are silenced by the legal system, and rape is used to humiliate victims, especially women in media. 
  Through Oksanen's sober analysis a disturbing picture emerges: under Putin, misogyny has become foundational to the state’s power. It underpins the current regime, serves as a means of weaving international alliances, and forms an essential part of Russia’s ongoing genocide in Ukraine, in turn posing a threat to the rights of women and minorities worldwide. As threats to democracy grow stronger across the globe, the powerful and timely Same River, Twice is a warning that cannot not be ignored.

  We all have stories of our life experiences, and they shape our perceptions - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But what happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations and past challenges become obstacles to further growth? That's when unlearning begins. This framework provides a path for visionaries to break through self-imposed barriers, foster adaptability in their personal and professional spaces, and maximize their full potential. I synthesized ten tenets of unlearning that I observed in my own life and used specifically as a powerful method for growth. These tenets are the guideposts of unlearning. I share snippets of my story as a testament to the power of unlearning. However, this writing is not about dwelling on past experiences, whether they be mine or yours. Instead, it's a guide to crafting the future you desire. These ten transformative tenets of unlearning will help you build a more empowered, adaptable future.

  14 YEARS  
  5 PRIME MINISTERS 
  THE PARTY IS OVER  
  After decades in the hands of malevolent players and two years of disastrous leadership, the Conservative party stands at the edge of the abyss. 
  From the humiliation of Liz Truss’s 49-day premiership to the shameful, self-serving drift of Rishi Sunak’s time in office, Downfall is the story of a political party on the verge of extinction. 
  Picking up on the events that followed The Plot, Nadine Dorries draws on interviews with those in the room to expose what really went on behind the scenes. From group sex sessions organised via WhatsApp, to the King being stood up at the Privy Council and the real reason why Rishi Sunak left the D-Day celebrations early, the accounts are raw, unvarnished and brutal. Everything is worse than it seems. 
  The next leader will hold the future of the party in his or her hands, and with outside forces resisting change, the challenge will be as enormous as it will be difficult. But the painful truth is that the party deserves to be where it is – and nothing can stay the same. 
  With unparalleled access to the people who were actually in the room and who will speak to Nadine with a frankness with which they would never speak to a journalist, Downfall promises to be THE political book of 2024. 
  As the Sunday Times bestselling author, Nadine Dorries delves deep into the state of the Conservative party, exposing the corruption and misconduct that has led to its downfall. The process of its decline is laid bare, revealing a shocking truth about the parties involved.
