Une plongée dans l'univers captivant du renseignement français ! James Bond, Malotru, Jason Bourne, Eli Cohen, Mata Hari, Joséphine Baker... qu'elles soient fictives ou réelles, les grandes figures de l'espionnage nous fascinent et sont au cœur de nombreux fantasmes (assassins missionnés secrètement par un État, confidences récoltées sur l'oreiller par des courtisanes héroïques, costumes et gadgets plus créatifs les uns que les autres, légende et double-identité...).

Despite over a hundred deadly acts by far-right militants since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and the far right's attempts to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected president on January 6, the FBI continues to deprioritize investigations into white supremacist violence, instead targeting marginalized groups. Noting that the FBI does not even compile accurate national data on white supremacist violence, German also exposes the continuing tolerance of overt racism in law enforcement, and police membership in white supremacist organizations.

For close to a decade, the US government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will "eat our lunch," in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China's military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability.

Throughout history, the Indian Ocean has been an essential space for trade, commerce, and culture. Every European power has sought to dominate it. Now, after a lull in the postwar period, control of major shipping routes has once again become a critical aspect of every rising state's ambition to be a global power. Darshana M. Baruah shows how governments from Washington, DC, to Nairobi and Canberra are expanding their interests in the region.

The Apathy of Empire reveals just how significant Cambodia was to U.S. policy in Indochina during the Vietnam War, broadening the lens to include more than the often-cited incursion in 1970 or the illegal bombing after the Paris Peace Accords in 1973.

L’attacco di Hamas del 7 ottobre 2023 e gli orrori che ne sono seguiti hanno sconvolto il mondo. Ma il conflitto israelo-palestinese non è iniziato quel giorno. E neppure nel 1967, quando Israele ha occupato la Cisgiordania, o nel 1948, quando è stato proclamato lo Stato ebraico. È iniziato nel 1882, quando i primi coloni sionisti sono arrivati in quella che era la Palestina ottomana. Il celebre storico israeliano Ilan Pappé – autore del bestseller internazionale La pulizia etnica della Palestina – ricostruisce qui la vicenda di due popoli che ora condividono una sola terra.

Osamah Khalil argues that the militarization of US domestic and foreign affairs was the product of America's failure in Vietnam. Unsettled by their inability to prevail in Southeast Asia, US leaders increasingly came to see a host of problems as immune to political solutions.

Characterized as sites of endemic violence, badlands lay beyond the pale of civilization, their ostensibly racially and culturally alien inhabitants best handled by force.

Now, the man at the center of the controversy tells his side of the story for the very first time. In The Contractor: How I Landed in a Pakistani Prison and Ignited a Diplomatic Crisis, Davis offers an up-close and personal look at the 2011 incident in Lahore, Pakistan, that led to his imprisonment and the events that took place as diplomats on both sides of the bargaining table scrambled to get him out.
