  A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy 
   
  Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil—a clear and easy choice—but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.

  Free Exercise - Religion the...

  CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Those words, scratched on parchment in 1789, open the US Constitution's First Amendment. From them, countless interpretations have been drawn. As a consequence, an astonishing variety of activities in modern America—prayer after football games, Bible reading in classrooms, company healthcare policies, the baking of wedding cakes, and Ten Commandment displays around courthouses—have been alternately authorized, prohibited, or modified. 
   
   
   
  In this compelling historical account, Chris Beneke explains how the religion clauses came into existence and how they were woven into American culture. He brings prominent early national figures to life, including George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, while chronicling the First Amendment's relationship to defining social conditions like slavery, civility, family life, and the free market. 
   
   
   
  Going beyond traditional church-state scholarship, Beneke also demonstrates how white women, African Americans, Roman Catholics, Jews, and nonbelievers widened religious liberty's application and illuminated its boundaries. In doing so he makes a groundbreaking contribution to both constitutional history and the history of American pluralism.

Spanning three distinct parts - Betrayed Bodies, Betrayed Liberty, and Betrayed Estates - this book delves into historical and contemporary instances where government intervention has overstepped, leading to significant ramifications on life, liberty, and property.Part 1, "Betrayed Bodies," exposes medical and scientific missteps and overreaches by the government. From the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to the FDA's drug revocations, it reveals how health policies and decisions have sometimes led to distrust and harm, rather than protection and healing.Part 2, "Betrayed Liberty," focuses on cases where the government’s actions have infringed upon civil liberties. It revisits moments like the McCarthy era, the Patriot Act, and the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how fear and crisis have been catalysts for the erosion of freedoms historically championed by democratic societies.Part 3, "Betrayed Estates," shifts the focus to property rights. It examines eminent domain, zoning laws, intellectual property, and taxation policies, demonstrating how these can sometimes betray the very essence of ownership and economic freedom.Peter Serefine masterfully intertwines historical contexts with contemporary relevance, offering a critical perspective on government actions. Each chapter is not only a recount of events but also an analysis of their ethical, legal, and societal implications. The book questions the delicate balance between public good and individual rights, scrutinizing the justifications and consequences of government policies."Trust Shattered" challenges readers to ponder the role of government in their lives. It brings to light the precarious balance between safeguarding citizens and respecting their autonomy. The book’s in-depth examination
