  The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever. "Codebreakers: How Allied Intelligence Cracked Enemy Codes and the Tide" delves into the extraordinary efforts of Allied cryptographers, whose tireless work behind the scenes helped secure victories that shifted the balance of the war. 
    
  The importance of cryptography in World War II cannot be overstated. The ability to read an enemy’s messages before they had time to act was a decisive factor in numerous key battles and campaigns. The German Enigma machine, a sophisticated encryption device, represented the pinnacle of Nazi Germany’s efforts to protect its communications. Breaking this code was essential to the Allied success, and it was a challenge that seemed insurmountable at the time. However, a group of brilliant minds, including Alan Turing, led the charge in deciphering the Enigma cipher, providing the Allies with invaluable intelligence that allowed them to anticipate German movements, thwart attacks, and save countless lives. 
    
  At the heart of this monumental achievement was Bletchley Park, a secret British facility that became the epicenter of codebreaking during the war. Here, the brightest mathematicians, linguists, and engineers worked tirelessly, often under immense pressure, to crack the German and later the Japanese codes.

  Red Cloud’s War: The History and...

  In the summer of 1866, Colonel Henry B. Carrington set out from Fort Laramie to establish a series of forts along the Bozeman Trail with the goal of protecting migrants moving along the trail. The Bozeman Trail ran through the Powder River country, which included the traditional hunting grounds of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples. Carrington had about 1,000 people in his column, of which about 700 were soldiers and 300 were civilians, likely soldiers’ families and migrants. 
  The ongoing hostilities, which included the notorious Fetterman's Massacre, ultimately convinced American officials to head back to the negotiating table with the Native Americans, and as a result, Red Cloud has often been labeled the only Indian chief to win a war against the Americans. After that, however, Red Cloud continued to lead his people to reservations first near the Black Hills and later westward after the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Though he was respected as a war chief, it was his political functions as a spokesman of the Oglala that truly allowed Red Cloud to leave his mark over the last several decades of his life. Whereas Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse suffered premature deaths, Red Cloud outlived the other important leaders of the Sioux until dying in 1909 at 87 years old. Near the end of his life, he reportedly said, “They made us many promises, more than I can remember. But they kept but one -- they promised to take our land...and they took it.” 
  Red Cloud’s War: The History and Legacy of the Only 19th Century War Won by Native Americans against the United States analyzes the seminal moments that brought about the war, the war’s most famous battles, and the aftermath.

  The Eternal Decline and Fall of...

  As this book intriguingly explores, for those who would make Rome great again and their victims, ideas of Roman decline and renewal have had a long and violent history. 
   
   
    
  The decline of Rome has been a constant source of discussion for more than 2200 years. Everyone from American journalists in the twenty-first century AD to Roman politicians at the turn of the third century BC have used it as a tool to illustrate the negative consequences of changes in their world. Roman prophets of decline were, ultimately, proven correct—a fact that makes their modern invocations all the more powerful. 
   
   
   
  The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome tells the stories of the people who built their political and literary careers around promises of Roman renewal as well as those of the victims they blamed for causing Rome's decline. The story begins during the Roman Republic just after 200 BC. It proceeds through the empire of Augustus and his successors, traces the Roman loss of much of western Europe in the fifth century AD, and follows Roman history until its fall in 1453. If Rome illustrates the profound danger of the rhetoric of decline, it also demonstrates the rehabilitative potential of a rhetoric that focuses on collaborative restoration, a lesson of great relevance to our world today.

  Designing for Democracy - How to...

  How should we "fix" digital technologies to support democracy instead of undermining it? In Designing for Democracy, Jennifer Forestal argues that accurately evaluating the democratic potential of digital spaces means studying how the built environment—a primary component of our "modern public square"—structures our activity, shapes our attitudes, and supports the kinds of relationships and behaviors democracy requires. 
   
   
   
  While many scholars and practitioners are attentive to the role of design in shaping behavior, they have yet to fully engage with the question of what structures are required to support democratic communities—and how to build them. Forestal closes this gap by providing a new theory of democratic space. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, she argues that "democratic spaces" must be designed with three environmental characteristics—boundaries, durability, and flexibility—that, taken together, afford users the ability to engage in fundamental civic practices. 
   
   
   
  Through extended analyses of Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Forestal shows precisely how well these digital platforms meet the criteria for democratic spaces, or whether they do so at all. The result is a nuanced analysis of the democratic communities that form—or fail to emerge—in these spaces, as well as more concrete suggestions for how to improve them.
