Like two intrepid leftist sleuths, Herb Boyd and Don Rojas take a deep dive into the files of the CIA, mainly inspired by Malcolm X's belief that he was under surveillance. They unearth and disclose enough evidence to confirm Malcolm's suspicion as well as to suggest, through circumstantial documentation, at least one agent stalking him. The book offers valuable insight into the history of government agencies spying on Black activists, and targeting Malcolm was just among the most notable of those in the CIA's crosshairs.

Sicherheitspolitik hat Konjunktur–sie befindet sich jedoch auf einem gefährlichen Irrweg. Der Begriff „Kriegstüchtigkeit“ steht für diese Entwicklung wie kaum ein anderer. Das dahinterstehende Konzept beansprucht unverhältnismäßige Ressourcen, militarisiert Politik und Gesellschaft und löst die Probleme nicht. Der derzeit weitverbreitete Alarmismus in weiten Teilen der Politik und der Medien basiert zudem auf keiner seriösen Bedrohungsanalyse. Der in 80 Jahren überwunden geglaubte Militarismus scheint schleichend und oft sogar mit guten Absichten in einem neuen Gewand zurückzukehren.

Noch nie gab es in der Bundesrepublik so viele und so strenge Gesetze zur Regulierung und Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit wie heute. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren ist eine Vielzahl neuer Paragrafen hinzugekommen, um bestimmte Äußerungen zu verbieten. Ronen Steinke zeigt auf, wo neuerdings die Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit verlaufen, auch im digitalen Raum. Gerade in der gegenwärtigen volatilen Lage, so argumentiert der promovierte Jurist, sollte das Land mehr Meinungsfreiheit wagen, anstatt zu glauben, man überzeuge Menschen, indem man ihnen den Mund verbietet.

To regain its capacity to effectively deter China and retain its unmatched global status, the United States must deepen its partnership with the nation's most innovative tech companies. In The American Edge, Seth G. Jones explains how the industrial bases of the world's great military powers have risen, fallen, and evolved relative to each other over the past century. In doing so, Jones reveals how the US is on a trajectory toward failure—a failure to effectively deter major adversaries, and to fight and win a great power war if necessary.

La ETA, una organización terrorista sin parangón en Europa, dejó un reguero de viudas, huérfanos, hermanos y amigas no solo desconsolados por unas muertes dramáticas, sino vilipendiados por una sociedad cruel, aterrorizada y, en muchos casos, cómplice que no supo o quiso mostrar el más elemental rasgo de piedad o empatía con unas víctimas cuyo único delito era su parentesco con quienes la organización terrorista había puesto en una diana antes de dispararles con un arma.
