Synopsis

Winter War explores the pivotal 105-day conflict between Finland and the Soviet Union, demonstrating how this David-versus-Goliath struggle significantly shaped World War II. The book analyzes military strategies, global reactions, and the lasting impact of this often-overlooked war, revealing how Finnish resistance exposed critical flaws in the Red Army. This resistance, against Soviet expansionism, emboldened Hitler to launch Operation Barbarossa. The book challenges traditional narratives by highlighting the Winter War's crucial role in shaping the trajectory of World War II. It examines the contrasting military tactics used by both sides, the diplomatic maneuvering, and the influence on Hitler's perception of Soviet military strength. The book progresses methodically, first introducing key players and the pre-war climate, then dissecting military campaigns and diplomatic reactions, culminating in an analysis of the war's propaganda value. Drawing from military archives, diplomatic cables, and personal accounts, Winter War offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the strategic and political ramifications of the conflict. It showcases innovative concepts in winter warfare and how a smaller army withstood a larger power, providing valuable insights for military strategists and those interested in international relations.

    Developing Scholars - Race...

    Over the past fifty years, debates concerning race and college admissions have focused primarily on the policy of affirmative action at elite institutions of higher education. But a less well-known approach to affirmative action also emerged in the 1960s in response to urban unrest and Black and Latino political mobilization. The programs that emerged in response to community demands offered a more radical view of college access: admitting and supporting students who do not meet regular admissions requirements and come from families who are unable to afford college tuition, fees, and other expenses. This approach is based on a logic of developing scholars who can be supported at their local public institutions of higher education. 
     
     
     
    In Developing Scholars, Domingo Morel explores the history and political factors that led to the creation of college access programs for students of color in the 1960s. Through a case study of an existing community-centered affirmative action program, Talent Development, Morel shows how protest, including violent protest, has been instrumental in the maintenance of college access programs. Developing Scholars argues that the origin, history, and purpose of these programs reveal gaps in our understanding of college access expansion in the US that challenge conventional wisdom of American politics.

    In a series called "The Library of Contemporary Thought," top opinion-makers explore the most provocative, fascinating, and momentous issues that have occurred in the United States. In this first volume, famed Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi takes on the Supreme Court. Considered by some to be an island of sanity surrounded by a sea of insanity that is our society, the Supreme Court has increasingly come under scrutiny for some dubious decisions.
    In this compelling work, Bugliosi puts the Supreme Court on trial for its handling of Paula Jones vs. Bill Clinton. The author argues that the right of a president to be free of a private lawsuit while in office outweighs a plaintiff's interest in having his or her case brought expediently to trial—regardless of a case's supposed merit.

    Manifesting Justice - Wrongly...

    When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct. 
     
     
      
    Seeking change, Beety began working in the Innocence Movement, helping to free factually innocent people through DNA testing and criminal justice reform. Manifesting Justice focuses on the shocking story of Beety's client Leigh Stubbs—a young, queer woman in Mississippi, convicted of a horrific crime she did not commit because of her sexual orientation. Beety weaves Stubbs's harrowing narrative through the broader story of a broken criminal justice system. 
     
     
      
    Drawing on interviews with both innocence advocates and wrongfully convicted women, along with Beety's own experiences as an expert litigator and a queer woman, Manifesting Justice provides a unique outsider/insider perspective. Beety expands our notion of justice to include not just people who are factually innocent, but those who are over-charged, pressured into bad plea deals, and over-sentenced. The result is a riveting and timely book that will transform our very ideas of crime and punishment, what innocence is, and who should be free.
