Sinossi

In "The Civil War in America: Fuller's Modern Age, August 1861," William Howard Sir Russell endeavors to capture the complex realities of a nation embroiled in its most turbulent conflict. Through a meticulous blend of journalistic rigor and evocative prose, Russell provides contemporary readers with vivid accounts of the battles, political strife, and social upheavals that characterized this pivotal period. His perspective as a British correspondent embeds the text within an international context, exploring not just the military engagements but also the implications of the war on American society and its global perception, thus enriching the historical narrative. Russell, a seasoned journalist with a keen eye for detail, was uniquely positioned to document the American Civil War. Raised in an era when British observers were increasingly interested in American affairs, his experiences in various conflicts sharpened his acumen for reporting. His ability to encapsulate the human elements of war likely stemmed from his dedication to illustrating the broader socio-political dynamics at play, paralleling events in Europe and their consequential impact on American ideals. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the genesis of the Civil War and its ramifications. Russell's incisive observations and historical context invite readers to reflect critically on the nuances of this defining moment in American history, making it a valuable addition to the library of students, historians, and general readers alike.

    In my line of work my phone is ringing constantly. It's my most important business tool, and so I don't spend much thought about when or where to answer it - it's a natural reflex. So when one day, I was out early to prepare a house for a potentially interested couple, I got a call from an undisclosed number, I wasn't very surprised by it; it happens all the time. 
    "Hi," said a female voice on the other end of the line. "So, where were we?" 
    "Hi," I replied, pausing for a moment to think who it might be that called. Did I forget an appointment? Was there a conversation that got interrupted? 
    Before I could say anything else, the voice continued: "Ah right. You were going to tell me how wet you are."

    East Jerusalem is more than a city; it is a battleground of maps, walls, and blueprints. In The Occupied City: How Israel Shapes Palestinian Life, readers are taken inside one of the world’s most contested urban landscapes, where every building permit, zoning law, and planning decision becomes a tool of power. 
    Drawing on years of research and first-hand interviews with Palestinian residents, urban planners, and human rights experts, this book exposes how Israeli urban planning policies restrict Palestinian access to housing, fracture communities, and rewrite the very geography of Jerusalem. It reveals how control is exercised not only through military presence but through bureaucratic procedures, economic pressures, and cultural erasure—quiet mechanisms that determine who gets to build, who is forced to leave, and whose story is allowed to endure. 
    At once rigorous and deeply human, The Occupied City gives voice to those living under the daily weight of planning systems designed to dispossess them. It uncovers the hidden architecture of occupation while also spotlighting acts of resilience, resistance, and visions for a more just future. 
    Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Israeli–Palestinian conflict beyond headlines, this book demonstrates how urban planning—often regarded as technical or neutral—is, in fact, one of the most powerful weapons in the struggle over land, rights, and survival.

    This book consists of 6 topics, all selected to describe some of the worst atrocities of mankind: Genocides, mass rapes, abuse, mutilation and murder. It contains these topics: 
    Armenian Genocide: At the time of World War I, the Ottoman Empire committed the Armenian genocide, which led to the organized death of around one million ethnic Armenians. It was primarily achieved by mass executions, death marches resulting in the Syrian Desert, and the pushed Islamization of Armenian women and kids. 
    Cambodian Genocide: The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia towards being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state.  
    Genocide in Darfur: The Darfur genocide describes the methodical killing of ethnic Darfuri people in Western Sudan throughout the existing dispute. It's considered the first genocide of the twenty-first century. The International Bad Guy Court (ICC) has prosecuted many individuals for criminal offenses against mankind, rape, mass relocations and deportations, and abuse because of the genocide being committed. 
    Holocaust: At the time of WWII, the Holocaust, was a genocide of European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies killed around 6 million Jews in German-occupied Europe, representing about two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. 
    Rwandan Genocide: Throughout the Rwandan Civil War, between April seventh and July fifteenth, 1994, the Rwandan genocide happened. Equipped militias murdered members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, and some moderate Hutu and Twa. 
    Yugoslavian Genocide: Throughout the Bosnian War of 1992-- 1995, the Yugoslavian or Bosnian genocide describes either the Srebrenica massacre or the larger criminal activities against mankind in areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS).

    It was family separation and “kids in cages” that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system—and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee—she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah’s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by “broken” layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone—save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. 
    Deftly weaving together oral storytelling, history, and memoir, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove, every day, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called “crisis” in human migration, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current course—one which history will not soon forgive, or forget.
