  A New York Times Book Review Ten Best Books of 2022 A Wall Street Journal Ten Best Books of 2022 The acclaimed, award-winning New Yorker writer Rachel Aviv offers a groundbreaking exploration of mental illness and the mind, and illuminates the startling connections between diagnosis and identity. In Strangers to Ourselves, a powerful and gripping debut, Rachel Aviv raises fundamental questions about how we understand ourselves in periods of crisis and distress. Drawing on deep, original reporting as well as unpublished journals and memoirs, Aviv writes about people who have come up against the limits of psychiatric explanations for who they are. She follows an Indian woman, celebrated as a saint, who lives in healing temples in Kerala; an incarcerated mother vying for her children’s forgiveness after recovering from psychosis; a man who devotes his life to seeking revenge upon his psychoanalysts; and an affluent young woman who, after a decade of defining herself through her diagnosis, decides to go off her meds because she doesn’t know who she is without them. Animated by a profound sense of empathy, Aviv’s exploration is refracted through her own account of living in a hospital ward at the age of six and meeting a fellow patient with whom her life runs parallel—until it no longer does. Aviv asks how the stories we tell about mental disorders shape their course in our lives. Challenging the way we understand and talk about illness, her account is a testament to the porousness and resilience of the mind.

  The Battle of Britain - How the...

   The Battle of Britain was not an isolated event. It was the culmination of a series of escalating tensions, military buildups, and ideological confrontations that had been brewing for years. By 1939, Europe was on the brink of war. The world watched as Adolf Hitler's ambitions for territorial expansion grew, and the Nazi regime began implementing its aggressive policies across Europe. 
    
  The rise of Nazi Germany under Hitler was a response to the humiliation the country had suffered after World War I. With the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was burdened with harsh reparations, which led to economic instability and social unrest. In this environment, Hitler’s National Socialist party capitalized on the public’s desire for national renewal. He began rearming Germany in the early 1930s, violating the treaty’s restrictions and asserting military strength across Europe. 
    
  By the mid-1930s, Britain and France found themselves at odds with Germany’s expanding influence. In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria and then demanded control over Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. When the Munich Agreement failed to halt his expansionist ambitions, Britain began to realize that appeasement would not work. The threat of war was no longer theoretical; it was imminent.
