Preparing for War - The...

Bradley Onishi

The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
 
 
 
Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
 
 
 
Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

Discourse on Metaphysics -...

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Written in 1686 by the celebrated German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics is a short, early work in which Leibniz explains how the Earth, which was created by God (an undeniably perfect being), is therefore blessed with the same purity and perfection as its creator.  Leibniz was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment era and was a contemporary of Isaac Newton. But today, Leibniz's best remembered for his work in developing differential and integral calculus. A renowned rationalist - ranked with Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza - Leibniz himself made extraordinary discoveries in the fields of - among others- philosophy, politics, theology, history, philology, law and politics.  A seeming autodidact, Leibniz authored tens of thousands of letters and manuscripts on such disparate topics as physics, biology, geology and computer science.

The Primal Scream - Primal...

Arthur Janov

In the mid-1960s, the course of Arthur Janov's professional life as a psychotherapist changed in a single day. During a therapy session, Dr. Janov heard, "an eerie scream welling up from the depths of a young man who was lying on the floor." Janov came to believe that this scream was the product of some unconscious, intangible wound that the patient was unable to resolve— an event the psychotherapist coined " Primal Pain." Janov subsequently devoted his professional life to the investigation of that underlying pain and the development of a precise, scientific therapy that could mitigate its lifelong effects. First published in 1970, The Primal Scream challenged all existing forms of therapy of its time by presenting a new approach to psychotherapy— an approach based on Janov's theory that neurosis is caused by the repressed pain of childhood trauma.

The Siege of Stalingrad - The...

Sage Winters

The Battle of Stalingrad stands as one of the most defining events of the 20th century, a turning point that shifted the trajectory of World War II. Situated along the banks of the Volga River, Stalingrad was not only a city of industrial and strategic importance but also a symbolic prize for both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. The ferocity and scale of the battle transformed it into a microcosm of the broader conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
When Germany launched Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, the Wehrmacht seemed unstoppable as it swept across the Soviet Union. Hitler’s ambitions of seizing Soviet territories were fueled by his vision of Lebensraum and the destruction of Bolshevism. By the summer of 1942, German forces were pressing deeper into the southern front, aiming to capture the oil fields of the Caucasus and secure Stalingrad as a vital stepping stone. For Hitler, Stalingrad held immense propaganda value, carrying the name of his adversary, Stalin. Its fall would signify not just a military triumph but a psychological blow to the Soviet people.
For the Soviet Union, the defense of Stalingrad became a matter of national survival and pride. Stalin’s orders to defend the city at all costs rallied both soldiers and civilians. The infamous directive “Not a step back!” underscored the desperation and determination of the Soviet war effort. As the battle unfolded, Stalingrad was transformed into a hellish landscape of rubble, where every building and street became a battlefield.
