  A Kidnapped West - The Tragedy...

  “We should welcome the context Kundera gives for the struggles between Russia and Europe, and the plight of those caught between them. His defense of small languages, small cultures, and small nations feels pressing.”—Claire Messud, Harper's Magazine 
  “Kundera focuses on the relationship of Europe’s central ‘small nations’ like Czechoslovakia and Ukraine to Western culture and argues that their cultural identities were increasingly threatened.”—New York Book Review  
  A short collection of brilliant early essays that offers a fascinating context for Milan Kundera’s subsequent career and holds a mirror to much recent European history.  It is also remarkably prescient with regard to Russia’s current aggression in Ukraine and its threat to the rest of Europe. 
  Milan Kundera’s early nonfiction work feels especially resonant in our own time. In these pieces, Kundera pleads the case of the “small nations” of Europe who, by culture, are Western with deep roots in Europe, despite Russia imposing its own Communist political regimes in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Kundera warns that the real tragedy here is not Russia but Europe, whose own identity and culture are directly challenged and threatened in a way that could lead to their destruction. He is sounding the alarm, which chimes loud and clear in our own twenty-first century. 
  The 1983 essay translated by Edmund White (“The Tragedy of Central Europe”), and the 1967 lecture delivered to the Czech Writers’ Union in the middle of the Prague Spring by the young Milan Kundera (“Literature and the Small Nations”), translated for the first time by Linda Asher, are both written in a voice that is at once personal, vehement, and anguished. Here, Kundera appears already as one of our great European writers and truly our contemporary. Each piece is prefaced by a short presentation by French historian Pierre Nora and Czech-born French political scientist Jacques Rupnik.

  You will be thrilled to find a book that answers what happened to America so you can help heal our beloved country. In 1995, Karen Horwitz, aka the CHANGE EVERYTHING TEACHER, discovered our schools suffered from the 'Harvey Weinstein syndrome'—the powerful get their way no matter how wicked until someone finds the courage to expose them. She wrote a memoir to do to those running our schools what that brave actress who testified against Weinstein did — expose and end wrongdoing of a different kind. Readers will learn why we have school shootings and how to end them and restore democracy.She names the corruption that transformed our schools from revered institutions to mere shells White Chalk Crime™ and reveals how it dismantled democracy. The sheer audacity and disbelief of this corruption prompted her to write a book so that citizens could comprehend its extent. She warns, "There are consequences for a society that allows evil an honored home. One is school shootings, which are the tip of the democracy-destroying iceberg, taking our country down Titanic-style. Abraham Lincoln warned, 'The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.'  When I taught, it was as if  Trump ran our schools."She reveals that those in power secretly thwart school reform and presents an 'idea invention' that will revolutionize education as Jeff Bezos did to marketing and Steve Jobs to computers. It includes a blueprint for top-notch schools that ensures a home for great teachers and tells about a grassroots movement for change.This book is a beacon of hope, showing that change is within reach. It inspires the reader to feel optimistic about the future of education and democracy. This engaging and insightful book on education takes those who cherish democracy and fear autocracy on a journey deep inside our schools, where the root of many of this nation's challenges lies. It will change a whole lot. PDFs at WhiteChalkCrime.com/audio

  Espionage - A Concise History

  • 0

  A concise introduction to the history and methods of espionage, illustrated by spy stories from antiquity to today's high-tech world. 
   
   
   
  Espionage is one of the most secret of human activities. It is also, as the popularity of spy stories suggests, one of the most intriguing. This book pulls the veil back on the real world of espionage, revealing how spying actually works. In a refreshingly clear, concise manner, Kristie Macrakis guides listeners through the shadowy world of espionage, from the language and practice of spycraft to its role in international politics, its bureaucratic underpinnings, and its transformation in light of modern technology. Espionage is a mirror of society and human foibles with the added cloak of secrecy and deception. Accordingly, Espionage traces spying all the way back to antiquity, while also moving beyond traditional accounts of military and diplomatic intelligence to shine a light on industrial espionage and the new techno-spy. As thorough—and thoroughly enjoyable—as it is compact, the book is an ideal introduction to the history and anatomy of espionage.
