Jay Newman, an author, and a former hedge fund portfolio manager, published his first novel, Undermoney, on January 25, 2022.

For the past four decades, Newman has worked as a trader, investment banker, and investor in international finance. He spent most of that time investing in sovereign debt defaults by countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. He worked for Shearson Lehman/Lehman Brothers, where he built the first-ever trading desk on Wall Street that generated liquidity for developing countries' defaulted debt. He also created leasing enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe as an equity investor, supervising discussions and investing in the debt of dozens of countries. Newman has written and spoken frequently on international finance and sovereign debt topics. He is now focusing on the second out of three books in the Undermoney series.

Rise of Islam in the Balkans...

Editors Charles River

In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire. 
In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. In fact, its decline would be brought about not just because of military setbacks and government corruption, but also because of nationalist uprisings among its multiethnic territories. The fact that the other existing multicultural empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also did not survive World War I makes clear just how hard governing such a vast expanse of land can be. The Ottoman Empire’s inability to create a shared identity, a weak central state, and growing inner dissensions were some of the main factors explaining its long demise. 
Of course, before that demise, the Ottomans brought plenty of their own cultural influence to the lands they reached, and nowhere is that more evident than in the spread of Islam. While Ottoman conflicts with European powers were often portrayed as religious conflicts, the fact is that the Ottomans managed to bring Islam with them into parts of Europe, especially the Balkans, and Islam took hold in various regions, adding even more demographic complexity to a place that already had no shortage of it.

The French Resistance - Stories...

Sage Winters

The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. With their lives at risk and a constant threat of betrayal or capture, these brave souls fought in the shadows, working tirelessly to undermine the Nazi war effort, sabotage military operations, and support the Allies.
At the heart of the Resistance was a spirit of defiance, a refusal to accept the status quo and a deep-seated belief in the values of freedom and liberty. The people who joined the movement were motivated by a sense of duty to their country, but also by a moral obligation to resist the horrors of the Nazi regime. From the rural villages to the bustling streets of Paris, the Resistance spread across France, forging networks of covert cells that communicated through secret codes, hidden messages, and underground newspapers.
The introduction of the Resistance was not a single event but a gradual process of collective resistance that evolved over time. In the early days, acts of defiance were small and isolated—anonymous leaflets denouncing the occupation, graffiti calling for revolt, and the quiet refusal of French citizens to cooperate with Nazi authorities. These early acts were the spark that would ignite a larger, more organized resistance movement. As the war progressed, Resistance groups grew in strength and sophistication, developing into a network of fighters, spies, and saboteurs working in unison to disrupt the Nazi regime’s operations.
