Beschreibung

The Winning of the West (Complete Edition) is a seminal work by Theodore Roosevelt that chronicles the expansion of the American frontier from the time of the early settlers through the period of the American Civil War. Combining meticulous historical detail with a vigorous prose style, Roosevelt presents a narrative that captures the spirit of adventure and the struggles of diverse figures including settlers, Native Americans, and soldiers. The book is marked by its romanticized depiction of the frontier experience, intertwining personal anecdotes from Roosevelt's own life with sweeping historical analysis, which reflects the era's burgeoning nationalism and the ideology of American exceptionalism. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a Westerner and naturalist. His background as a historian and an avid outdoorsman fueled his passion for documenting the history of the American West. Roosevelt's own health challenges and a formative journey through the Badlands of North Dakota instilled in him a profound appreciation for the rugged individualism and tenacity that characterized the frontier spirit, which he sought to portray in this influential work. Readers who seek a comprehensive and captivating understanding of America's westward expansion will find The Winning of the West to be an indispensable resource. Roosevelt's engaging narrative style and his insightful reflections on national identity make this book an essential read for historians, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of American history and ideology.

    Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control. 
     
    Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.  
    Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. 
    “A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.” - Noam Chomsky 
    “A sharp exposé of how Israel's suppression of Palestine has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally...[An] eye-opening delineation of the alarming ramifications of Israel's status as an 'ethnonationalist state.” - Kirkus Reviews

    Shirley Chisholm

    In this classic work—a blend of memoir, social criticism, and political analysis that remains relevant today—the first Black Congresswoman to serve in American history, New York’s dynamic representative Shirley Chisholm, traces her extensive political struggle and examines the problems that have long plagued the American system of government. 
    “Shirley Chisholm created a path for me and for so many others. Today, I'm thinking about her inspirational words: 'I am, and always will be a catalyst for change.'” —Kamala Harris 
    “A tremendously impressive book.” —Washington Post 
    “I want to be remembered as a woman . . . who dared to be a catalyst of change.” Political pioneer Shirley Chisholm—activist, member of the House of Representatives, and former presidential candidate—was a woman who consistently broke barriers and inspired generations of American women, and especially women of color. Unbought and Unbossed is her story, told in her own words—a thoughtful and informed look at her rise from the streets of Brooklyn to the halls of Congress. Chisholm speaks out on her life in politics while illuminating the events, personalities, and issues of her time, including the schism in the Democratic party in the 1960s and ’70s—all of which speak to us today. 
    In this frank assessment, “Fighting Shirley” recalls how she took on an entrenched system, gave a public voice to millions, and embarked on a trailblazing bid to be the first woman and first African American President of the United States. By daring to be herself, Shirley Chisholm shows how one person forever changed the status quo. 
    “What [Chisholm] did was so pioneering. . . . She embraced what made her different and used it as her superpower.” —Regina King 
    “Her motto and title of her autobiography—Unbought and Unbossed—illustrates her outspoken advocacy for women and minorities during her seven terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.” —National Women’s History Museum
