The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him. Perhaps the biggest question on many people's minds is how, exactly, did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious conservative vote?

Issuing a bold wake-up call to America, New York Times best-selling author Brigitte Gabriel reveals the people, organizations, and forces at work to dismantle our Judeo-Christian values and freedoms, destabilize and threaten our national security, and radically redefine our very way of life. Gabriel regularly faces death threats from terrorists, condemnation from critics, and attacks from the "PC police", yet she refuses to back down.

Scott Coley exposes the inner workings of the religious right’s propaganda—and how Christians can resist it. Good evangelical Christians are Republican. It seems like it’s always been this way. That means the propaganda is working. Scott Coley trains a critical eye on the fusion of evangelicalism and right-wing politics in Ministers of Propaganda.

España. Una historia abreviada recorre la dilatada historia de un país que, por su ubicación geográfica en el sureste de Europa, se ha visto y sigue viéndose expuesto a vientos culturales (políticos, pero también meteorológicos) desde todos los puntos cardinales. África se encuentra a tan solo catorce kilómetros hacia el sur, mientras que el Mediterráneo trajo las corrientes civilizatorias de fenicios, romanos, cartagineses y bizantinos, y conecta con las tierras árabes de Oriente Próximo.

Esta obra ofrece un análisis profundo y crítico de las interrelaciones entre neoliberalismo, globalización y el resurgimiento del nacionalismo en el siglo XXI. Explora los orígenes y fundamentos teóricos del neoliberalismo, destacando las contribuciones de teóricos influyentes como Friedrich Hayek y Milton Friedman, y examina su ascenso político a través de las administraciones de Margaret Thatcher y Ronald Reagan.

Creer que una determinada comunidad es una 'nación'—afirma el autor de este ensayo—tiene que ver más con la fe que con la razón; es una creencia individual que puede ser compartida con otros y que está más cerca del pensamiento religioso que del científico, de ahí la dificultad de intentar rebatirla racionalmente. Roberto Augusto, que rechaza la doctrina nacionalista y también su interpretación de la idea de nación, piensa que "el futuro del nacionalismo es un proceso lento, casi imperceptible, de debilitamiento y decadencia".

Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we're all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track.

I tragici capricci della storia rendono, questo, un libro singolare. Ancora una volta Bruno Vespa intreccia presente e passato, narrato però in presa diretta, come fosse attualità. Assistiamo così alla lentissima costruzione di un idillio che avrebbe portato l'Europa alla catastrofe e, subito dopo, osserviamo il mondo d'oggi, che segue con il fiato sospeso le due guerre in atto (Ucraina e Medio Oriente) sperando che prevalga il buonsenso.

Poetin is een diepgaand, persoonlijk relaas over het leven van de president, waarvoor de auteurs zes jaar lang zorgvuldig onderzoek hebben verricht. Om informatie te verzamelen trok Chris Hutchins naar Rusland en praatte er met iedereen die Poetin heeft gekend vóór zijn snelle opmars in de politiek, van mensen die hem meemaakten als kind en tiener tot kennissen uit de tijd dat hij een jongegeheim agent was.

Far-right groups are now the most regular perpetrators of terrorist activity in the UK according to Prevent and are more visible than ever: on the streets, in the corridors of power. But how much do we really know about the myriad shadowy political collectives that have insinuated themselves into every stratum of British society? Harry Shukman, a researcher with HOPE not hate, set out to explore this secretive world that seemingly hides from us in plain sight.

In The Virtue of Nationalism, Yoram Hazony contends that a world of sovereign nations is the only option for those who care about personal and collective freedom. He recounts how, beginning in the sixteenth century, English, Dutch, and American Protestants revived the Old Testament's love of national independence, and shows how their vision eventually brought freedom to peoples from Poland to India, Israel to Ethiopia.

The Book of Revelation was written by Jesus himself, through the Apostle John, in approximately 90-95 AD. John wrote down notes and detailed world events that would happen in his future. Many of those events, including the Beast in Revelation 13, have already come to pass, and much of it is upon us today.

An unmatched guide to the religious dimensions of American politics, Jeff Sharlet journeys into corners of our national psyche where others fear to tread. The Undertow is both inquiry and meditation, an attempt to understand how, over the last decade, reaction has morphed into delusion, social division into distrust, distrust into paranoia, and hatred into fantasies—sometimes realities—of violence.

Pisces Moon: The Dark Arts of Empire is a sweeping critical analysis of Western colonialism, its foundational beliefs in militarism, patriarchy, Christianity, and white supremacy; and its destructive impact on the nations of Southeast Asia and, ultimately, America. Valentine focuses on the “dark arts” of empire: the black bag of CIA covert operations, including bribery, right-wing coups, assassinations, disinformation, and intimate relationships with drug, sex, and artifact traffickers.

Sunder Katwala grew up with some identity questions to work through. As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic kid, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal. Yet he came to realise that, with that background, he could hardly be anything but proudly British. This book moves from a personal journey to navigate the state of the nation, and the many identity crises of this increasingly disunited Kingdom. And as Scotland decides whether to vote to end the Union, Sunder tries to find out if he might now find himself doomed to be the last British patriot of them all.

Timothy McVeigh wanted to start a movement. Speaking to his lawyers days after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Gulf War veteran expressed no regrets: killing 168 people was his patriotic duty. New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001.

America has seen the culmination of a long-building war on democracy being waged by a fundamentally violent and antidemocratic far-right movement that unironically calls itself the "Patriot" movement. So how did we get here? Award-winning journalist David Neiwert—who has been following the rise of these extremist groups since the late 1970s, when he was a young reporter in Idaho—explores how the movement was built over decades, how it was set aflame by Donald Trump and his cohorts, and how it will continue to attack American democracy for the foreseeable future.

Who are the English? Today, the dominant story told about our national history solely serves the interests of the right. The only people who dare speak of 'Englishness' are cheerleaders for isolationism and imperial nostalgia. But there is another story, equally compelling, about who we are: about the English people's radical inclusivity, their ancient commitment to the natural world, their long struggle to win rights for all.

Sinn Féin is the most popular political party in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. A movement once synonymous with a paramilitary campaign is on the brink of taking real power through purely democratic means. But if Sinn Féin has mastered the art of electoral politics, it remains strangely opaque. Who really runs the party? How is it funded? And what can we expect of it as a party of government? Aoife Moore, Irish Journalist of the Year in 2021, explores these and other burning questions in The Long Game.

On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Americans stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of their political opponent’s election. At the forefront were Christians claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and his supposed representative on earth, Donald Trump. How can this have happened? David P. Gushee tackles the question in this timely work of Christian political ethics. Gushee calls us to preserve democratic norms, including constitutional government, the rule of law, and equal rights for all, even as many Christians take a reactionary and antidemocratic stance.
