Angered by assaults on a nation he knows and admires, the distinguished French intellectual Jean-Francois Revel has come to America's defense in Anti-Americanism, a biting and erudite book that, paradoxically, given his country's especially vehement attack on the U.S., spent several weeks last year at the top of France's best seller list.

From the KGB to the Kremlin: a multidimensional portrait of the man at war with the West. Where do Vladimir Putin's ideas come from? How does he look at the outside world? What does he want, and how far is he willing to go? The great lesson of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 was the danger...

Paul D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West, that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually led to war in 2014. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a "civilized divorce", led to what many are now calling "a new Cold War".

Communist China is ambitious. It wants to replace the United States as the world’s leading superpower. And it is well on its way. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master at intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a cold war on the United States and its Asian allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and decline, that cold war is about to turn hot.

According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood.

Sixty percent of humanity - some four-point-three billion people - live in debilitating poverty. The standard development narrative suggests that alleviating poverty in poor countries is a matter of getting the internal policies right, combined with aid from rich countries. But anthropologist Jason Hickel argues that this approach misses the broader political forces at play. Global poverty - and the growing divide between "developing" and "developed" countries - has to do with how the global economy has been designed over the course of 500 years. Global inequality doesn't just exist; it has been created.

At the southern end of the Japanese archipelago lies Okinawa, host to a vast complex of US military bases. A legacy of World War II, these bases have been a fraught issue in Japan for decades - with tensions exacerbated by the often volatile relationship between islanders and the military, especially after the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl by three servicemen in the 1990s. But the situation is more complex than it seems. In Night in the American Village, journalist Akemi Johnson takes listeners deep into the “border towns” surrounding the bases....

Tariff Nation is both a map and a manual. Patrick J. Meyers takes you inside the forces that broke the postwar order—geopolitical rivalries, pandemic shocks, resource wars, and the rise of rival economic blocs. You’ll see why semiconductors are now a national security priority, why “just-in-time” has given way to “just-in-case,” and why tariffs are no longer relics of the past, but weapons of the present. Drawing on history, policy analysis, and real-world case studies, Tariff Nation reveals how nations, companies, and individuals can turn trade wars into opportunities.

In June 2024, after 14 years of house arrest and incarceration, Julian Assange, the Australian journalist the CIA had planned to kidnap or kill, was finally released from the UK's top security Belmarsh prison. Years of campaigning by his family and Australian politicians from across the political spectrum had finally paid off – Assange's plea bargain with the US Department of Justice produced the legal deal of the century. Instead of serving a possible 175-year jail sentence, Assange walked free...

From bestselling author Stephen Kinzer, the untold story of the secret 75-year American campaign that set the stage for war in Ukraine Until the Russian invasion in 2022, few Americans could find Ukraine on a map. Once the fighting began, however, support for its cause surged. The reason was...

La violencia vino del Norte revela el factor decisivo detrás de la catástrofe que desde 2007 padece México: la política armamentística de Estados Unidos. Sin el acceso masivo a esos arsenales, la masacre y la corrupción nunca habrían alcanzado la escala actual. Este no es un tráfico clandestino, sino un flujo facilitado por una «arquitectura de la permisibilidad» en Estados Unidos. El libro rastrea cómo la desregulación sistemática de armas en aquel país no solo permitió esta catástrofe, sino que la buscó.

A Reorganized UN: Built from Ground Up proposes replacing the outdated United Nations with a bold, democratic, and digitally empowered global institution. The book introduces the 40-40-20 voting formula—40% based on population, 40% on GDP, and 20% equal vote—to balance power, fairness, and sovereignty. It critiques the failures of the current UN, rooted in colonial-era power structures and veto paralysis, and lays out a blueprint for a new system with a Peace Council, Global Commons Authority, and inclusive multilingual infrastructure.

This audiobook takes you behind the redacted lines of America’s most dangerous intelligence machine. If you’re ready to hear what they never wanted you to know, press play.

This book presents a comprehensive and pragmatic blueprint for resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict and achieving lasting peace in the region. At its core is a six-part formula: an immediate ceasefire; deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in occupied territories; a UN-organized referendum to let local populations decide their political future; total withdrawal of Russian and Ukrainian forces from contested regions before the vote; binding commitments from both Putin and Zelensky to honor the results; and a formal pledge from Ukraine not to join NATO, addressing Russia's key security concern.

The 20% Growth Revolution presents a radical vision for Nepal: 20% annual economic growth sustained over two decades—lifting millions out of poverty and positioning the country as a global model for ethical development.

Named after the 10th avatar of Vishnu, Kalkiism proposes a 100% cashless economy, state-owned zero-interest banking, universal education and healthcare, and corruption-free digital governance.
