Tough Country - Tall tales of...

Mike Bellamy

Tall tales of bushmen, bulldozers and back-country blokes 
  
'It was the mid-1970s and I was about eight, I thought it was completely normal for your old man to pull out a high-powered deer-hunting rifle and fire it through the kitchen door from the breakfast table...' 
In the 1970s and 80s, Barry Bellamy was a fair old bushman, traversing the back-country from Hawke's Bay to the far north in a blue ex-airforce Land Rover. His son Mike would join him as he took up work, wherever he could get it. Tough Country is Mike's story, about a bygone era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. Later, Mike forged his own life working on the land, and his stories of the characters of the 1980s and 90s, from tradies to digger-drivers, are as hilarious as they are quintessentially Kiwi.

Redefining Racism - How Racism...

Joseph (Jake) Klein

Have you heard that racism requires more than just prejudice, but also “power”?
Have you been told the dictionary definition of racism isn’t correct?
Where did this all come from? And why is it being taught at your school or workplace?
The rabbit hole goes deeper than you might have imagined. Joseph (Jake) Klein’s Redefining Racism tells the story of the group of radical white “anti-racist” corporate and high-school educators who in the late 1960s and early 70s, taking inspiration from the anti-integrationist Marxist-Leninist Stokely Carmichael, funded by an organization seeking to pay off rioters to stop, and using manipulative techniques developed in part by U.S. intelligence’s director of the “psychological warfare center for the Far East,” created and spread the “Power + Prejudice” redefinition. And the late famed crack-addicted serial bank robber “Zombie Bandit” played a role too.
In tracing the history of this redefinition, Redefining Racism also tells the story of the origins of “Racism Awareness Training,” today frequently called “diversity training,” in the tradition of Robin DiAngelo and White Fragility that have taken American corporations, schools, and universities by storm.
Redefining Racism is the definitive rebuttal for why racism is not best defined as “Power + Prejudice” and a damning origin story for much of the modern so-called “anti-racist” movement, reminding us why the best way to be an anti-racist is to look at the content of one’s character and not the color of their skin.
“For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and ‘anti-racism,’ cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service.” — Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White and Losing My Cool

Over The Wall - The Stasi Spy...

Davis Truman

Through meticulous research and compelling analysis, this book unravels the insidious politicization of intelligence under Ulbricht's regime. Witness accounts clash with Stasi reports, revealing a stark disparity between the reality of East German sentiments and the distorted narrative peddled to the politburo. As labor unrest simmered beneath the surface, the regime's reliance on manipulated intelligence proved catastrophic. 
The narrative climaxes with the June 17, 1953 uprising - a pivotal moment in East German history. Amidst the enthusiasm of a million citizens rising against oppression, the fragility of Ulbricht's regime is laid bare. "Over the Wall" lays bare the extent of Ulbricht's manipulation and its profound impact on the tumultuous events of 1953, offering a chilling reminder of the dangers of wielding truth as a weapon.
