Synopsis

Fregatte Purchase Debate examines Norway's strategic challenge of modernizing its naval forces through the acquisition of new frigates, balancing military needs with economic realities. This book offers a deep dive into the complex interplay of military strategy, political maneuvering, and economic factors that shape such significant defense decisions. It's particularly valuable because it scrutinizes not just the technical specifications of potential frigates, but also the broader geopolitical implications of choosing a particular supplier.

 
The book progresses by first establishing Norway's strategic context and existing naval capabilities, then moves into detailed analyses of frigate designs from various nations, including Britain, Germany, the USA and France. A unique aspect is its inclusion of interviews with Norwegian naval officers, providing insights into operational requirements. The analysis extends to evaluating long-term maintenance costs and interoperability with NATO assets.

 
The central argument emphasizes that the optimal choice isn't solely based on technical superiority or cost, but on a holistic assessment considering strategic imperatives and political considerations. The book's interdisciplinary approach combines military analysis with economic and political perspectives, offering a comprehensive understanding for policymakers, defense analysts, and anyone interested in military history and defense policy. It addresses key questions such as how defense procurement decisions impact diplomatic ties and security alliances and whether alternative defense investments, like cybersecurity, might be more beneficial.

Pioneers of France in the New World

Jr. Francis Parkman

Parkman has been hailed as one of America's first great historians and as a master of narrative history. Numerous translations have spread the books around the world. The American writer and literary critic Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) in his book O Canada (1965), described Parkman’s France and England in North America in these terms: The clarity, the momentum and the color of the first volumes of Parkman’s narrative are among the most brilliant achievements of the writing of history as an art.

Parkman's biases, particularly his attitudes about nationality, race, and especially Native Americans, has generated criticism. The Canadian historian W. J. Eccles harshly criticized what he perceived as Parkman's bias against France and Roman Catholic policies, as well as what he considered Parkman's misuse of French language sources. However, Parkman's most severe detractor was the American historian Francis Jennings, an outspoken and controversial critic of the European colonization of North America, who went so far as to characterize Parkman's work as "fiction" and Parkman himself as a "liar".

Unlike Jennings and Eccles, many modern historians have found much to praise in Parkman's work even while recognizing his limitations. Calling Jennings' critique "vitriolic and unfair," the historian Robert S. Allen has said that Parkman's history of France and England in North America "remains a rich mixture of history and literature which few contemporary scholars can hope to emulate". The historian Michael N. McConnell, while acknowledging the historical errors and racial prejudice in Parkman's book The Conspiracy of Pontiac, has said: "...it would be easy to dismiss Pontiac as a curious perhaps embarrassing artifact of another time and place. Yet Parkman's work represents a pioneering effort; in several ways he anticipated the kind of frontier history now taken for granted...." Parkman's masterful and evocative use of language remains his most enduring and instructive legacy.

This is Vol 1 of Parkman's series "France and England in North America."

All About Love - New Visions

Bell Hooks

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' ""Love Song to the Nation"" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. 
“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society stricken with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.  
In this landmark book, bell hooks explores the question “What is love?” Her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Disputing that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly love and community can change hearts and minds for the better.
