  As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to leave no comrade behind. 
   
   
   
  Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing thirteen United States service members, operations came to a halt. 
   
   
   
  Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021.

  Is Christianity the White Man's...

  Among many young people of color, there is a growing wariness about organized religion and Christianity in particular. If Christianity is for everyone, why does the Bible seem to endorse slavery? Why do most popular images of Jesus feature a man with white skin and blue eyes? Is evangelical Christianity "good news" or a tool of white supremacy?
  As our society increases in ethnic and religious diversity, millennials and the next generation of emerging adults harbor suspicions about traditional Christianity. They're looking for a faith that makes sense for the world they see around them. They want to know how Christianity relates to race, ethnicity, and societal injustices. Many young adults have rejected the Christian faith based on what they've seen in churches, the media, and politics. For them, Christianity looks a lot like a "white man's religion."
  Antipas L. Harris, a theologian and community activist, believes that biblical Christianity is more affirmative of cultural diversity than many realize. In this sweeping social, theological, and historical examination of Christianity, Harris responds to a list of hot topics from young Americans who struggle with the perception that Christianity is detached from matters of justice, identity, and culture. He also looks at the ways in which American evangelicalism may have incubated the race problem.
  Is Christianity the White Man's Religion? affirms that ethnic diversity has played a powerful role in the formation of the Old and New Testaments and that the Bible is a book of justice, promoting equality for all people. Contrary to popular Eurocentric conceptions, biblical Christianity is not just for white Westerners. It's good news for all of us.

  The Rise and Fall of Imperial...

  Imperialism has shaped the course of world history, influencing politics, economics, culture, and warfare across centuries. At its core, imperialism refers to the policy or ideology by which a state extends its rule over other territories, often through military conquest, economic dominance, or political influence. Empires have risen and fallen throughout history, leaving behind legacies that continue to shape modern societies. This chapter explores the fundamental characteristics of imperialism, its driving forces, and its historical significance. 
  An empire typically consists of a dominant power that exerts control over vast regions, governing diverse populations with varying degrees of autonomy. While military conquest has historically been a primary means of expansion, economic incentives and ideological justifications have also played crucial roles in the formation of empires. The pursuit of wealth, resources, and trade routes has often motivated imperial ambitions, as seen in the European colonial empires that sought to control lucrative markets across the world. Political and strategic concerns, such as securing borders or maintaining dominance over rivals, have further fueled imperial expansion. 
  Cultural and ideological factors have also been significant in the spread of empires. Many imperial powers have justified their expansion by claiming to bring civilization, religion, or superior governance to the territories they conquered. The Roman Empire, for example, promoted the spread of Roman law and culture as a means of integrating conquered peoples. Similarly, European colonial empires often framed their dominance as a "civilizing mission," using religion and education as tools to reshape local societies. However, such justifications often masked exploitative economic and political systems that benefited the ruling powers at the expense of the subjugated populations.
