Sinossi

A compelling biography of one of the most controversial and significant figures in American history. John Brown was a white abolitionist who led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry in 1859, in an attempt to incite a slave rebellion and overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. In addition to his analysis of Brown's life and legacy, Du Bois also provides a broader historical context for understanding the abolitionist movement and the struggle for racial justice in the United States.

    The Communist Manifesto

    Karl Marx

    "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
    The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
    
    But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
    Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.

    How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.
