This great question of Pearl Harbor - what did we know and when did we know it? - has been argued for years. But no investigator has ever been able to prove that foreknowledge of the attack existed at the highest levels. Until now.

If you like Day of Deceit, try Trapped at Pearl Harbor and vintage audio of FDR's Day of Infamy Speech.

Keir Starmer: The Biography is an authoritative study of a man who now stands on the brink of becoming Britain's next Prime Minister. If he succeeds, Starmer will be the first Labour leader in a generation to win power, even though most voters still say they don’t know much about him. It not only tells Starmer’s story but also examines the paradox of a politician often uncomfortable with politics, someone who is both remarkably ordinary and capable of defying all efforts to define him.

Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century. Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

This is the authoritative, “deeply reported” (The Wall Street Journal) account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy that will be seared into the country’s political memory for decades to come. With stunning, in-the-room detail, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns show how both our political parties confronted a series of national traumas, including the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House.

An epic narrative chronicling the fracturing of the Republican Party, Jeremy Peters’s Insurgency is the story of a party establishment that believed it could control the dark energy it helped foment—right up until it suddenly couldn’t. How, Peters asks, did conservative values that Republicans claimed to cherish, like small government, fiscal responsibility, and morality in public service, get completely eroded as an unshakable faith in Donald Trump grew to define the party?

As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the 18 months it's taken for a reality star to go from laughingstock to leader of the free world, Jon has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, experiencing it from a perspective that most of us could only dream of: he has flown aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and has even been described as 'a beauty' by none other than Donald Trump.

The Great Recession, institutional dysfunction, a growing divide between urban and rural prospects, and failed efforts to effectively address immigration have paved the way for a populist backlash that disrupts the postwar bargain between political elites and citizens. Whether today's populism represents a corrective to unfair and obsolete policies or a threat to liberal democracy remains up for debate. To respond to today's crisis, good leaders must strive for inclusive economic growth while addressing social and cultural issues, including demographic anxiety, with frank attention.

In The Plot to Betray America, New York Times best-selling author and renowned intelligence expert Malcolm Nance reveals exactly how President Trump and his inner circle conspired, coordinated, communicated, and eventually strategized to commit the greatest acts of treachery in the history of the United States: Compromising the presidential oath of office in exchange for power and personal enrichment.

In Mr. Trump’s campaign against what he calls “Fake News”, CNN Chief White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta, is public enemy number one. From the moment Mr. Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, he has attacked the media, calling journalists “the enemy of the people”. Acosta presents a damning examination of bureaucratic dysfunction, deception, and the unprecedented threat the rhetoric Mr. Trump is directing has on our democracy. When the leader of the free world incites hate and violence, Acosta doesn’t back down, and he urges his fellow citizens to do the same.

Help, de president is gek geworden is een boek vol verhalen en anekdotes over de geestelijke gezondheid van Amerikaanse presidenten, en biedt een verrassende en soms ontluisterende blik op ruim twee eeuwen politiek in de VS - hét boek om te lezen rond de Amerikaanse verkiezingen. Met een desastreus debatoptreden bevestigde Joe Biden de ergste vermoedens over zijn mentale gesteldheid: dat hij niet in staat was om de Verenigde Staten nog eens vier jaar te besturen. Met zijn vertrek uit de presidentsverkiezingen van 2024 gaat het weer over Trump.

Wir können ihn täglich beobachten — den immer härteren und schrilleren Krieg um Macht und Vorherrschaft in den digitalen Medien. Doch wer kämpft eigentlich gegen wen? Der international renommierte Medienexperte Martin Andree zeigt, wie eine Koalition aus Dark Tech, Trump und Rechtspopulisten offen nach autokratischer Macht greift. Über digitale Monopole kontrolliert sie zunehmend die Öffentlichkeit – und damit die Grundlage unserer Demokratien. Mit jedem Tag wird es schwerer, unsere freie Welt noch zu retten. Werden wir das Ruder noch herumreißen?

Max Weber, Gründer der modernen Soziologie, nahm es 1919, kurz nach dem ersten Weltkrieg, auf sich, in Zeiten von politischem Chaos und Revolutionsphantasien nicht nur das politische Geschehen in Deutschland zu analysieren, sondern die grundsätzliche Frage zu beantworten, welche Charaktereigenschaften und Ansichten für einen Menschen, der die Politik als Berufung sieht, nötig sind. Besonders interessant und geradezu zeitlos in der Analyse ist Webers Unterscheidung zwischen "Gesinnungsethik" und "Verantwortungsethik" - Begriffe, die noch heute Politiker in wahre Zwickmühlen bringen können.

In Reality in Ruins, Dr. Jared Stacy braves the untold history of conspiracism in American evangelicalism, reporting from the inside as someone raised and even once ordained in one of the most conservative denominations in the U.S. Now, as a historian and theologian who’s left evangelicalism, Dr. Stacy excavates the root causes of conspiracy theory and the evangelical anxiety at the heart of this movement. Tracing the currents of pain, panic, and power, he reframes conspiracy theory as acts of storytelling, and in the evangelical church, this story then becomes a theological crisis.
