Summary

In "Newer Ideals of Peace," Jane Addams offers a profound exploration of the evolving notions of peace in the early 20th century, responding to the tumultuous sociopolitical landscape marked by World War I. Employing a blend of philosophical discourse and pragmatic social analysis, Addams critiques traditional peace paradigms while advocating for a more nuanced understanding that incorporates social justice and collective responsibility. Her literary style is marked by clarity and compassion, drawing on personal experiences and her work in Hull House to illustrate the practical implications of her ideals, positioning her arguments within a broader context of American pragmatism and progressive reform. Jane Addams, a pioneering social reformer and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, drew on her experiences to inform her advocacy for peace and social change. Her commitment to social work, women's rights, and international peace efforts was likely influenced by her own understanding of the interconnections between individual well-being and societal structures. "Newer Ideals of Peace" exemplifies Addams's engagement with key contemporary debates regarding war, human rights, and the necessity for empathy in resolving conflicts. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in peace studies, sociology, or the history of social movements. Addams's insights remain remarkably relevant today, inviting readers to consider how ideals of peace can be reimagined to address the complexities of modern society. It serves as a timeless reminder of the power of compassionate action and the essential link between personal ethical choices and collective societal change.

  • Criminal Justice in Divided America - Police Punishment and the Future of Our Democracy - cover

    Criminal Justice in Divided...

    How a broken criminal justice system has fueled the crisis of American democracy, and how we can address both problems together.Criminal Justice in Divided America shows how police, courts, and prisons helped to break American democracy and how better approaches to public safety and criminal accountability can help to repair it. Engaging critically with concerns from both the left and the right, Sklansky lays out a clear and deeply researched agenda for reforming police departments, prosecutors' offices, criminal trials, and punishment. Sklansky seeks pragmatic solutions that take account of political realities: the lofty ideal of empowering "the people" or "the community" can mean little when members of the public or the community disagree. While efforts to "defund" the police have exacerbated political conflicts without addressing the underlying problem of how and when force should be used to protect public safety, reforms aimed at improving police accountability, restraining prosecutorial power, and expanding the role of juries can bring together warring parties who share a concern for justice.Ultimately, Sklansky argues, reform must be rooted in a strong commitment to pluralism―bridging political divides rather than worsening them, strengthening democracy, and securing the broad support that enables durable change.

    The inside story of the CIA’s secret mind control project, MKULTRA, using never-before-seen testimony from the perpetrators themselves.Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s most cunning chemist. As head of the infamous MKULTRA project, he oversaw an assortment of dangerous—even deadly—experiments. Among them: dosing unwitting strangers with mind-bending drugs, torturing mental patients through sensory deprivation, and steering the movements of animals via electrodes implanted into their brains. His goal was to develop methods of mind control that could turn someone into a real-life “Manchurian candidate.” In conjunction with MKULTRA, Gottlieb also plotted the assassination of foreign leaders and created spy gear for undercover agents. The details of his career, however, have long been shrouded in mystery. Upon retiring from the CIA in 1973, he tossed his files into an incinerator. As a result, much of what happened under MKULTRA was thought to be lost—until now.Historian John Lisle has uncovered dozens of depositions containing new information about MKULTRA, straight from the mouths of its perpetrators. For the first time, Gottlieb and his underlings divulge what they did, why they did it, how they got away with it, and much more. Additionally, Lisle highlights the dramatic story of MKULTRA’s victims, from their terrible treatment to their dogged pursuit of justice.The consequences of MKULTRA still reverberate throughout American society. Project Mind Control is the definitive account of this most disturbing of chapters in CIA history."Listeners will be transfixed" —AudioFile on The Dirty Tricks DepartmentA Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    In Wake Up America (2016), Eric Bolling warns that the Left is out to destroy all the core values that made America the greatest nation on earth. 
    Bolling argues that fear, guilt, and class conflict have been utilized by the socialist Left to divide us in their quest to dramatically transform American society. They understand that doing so would result in the annihilation of the numerous characteristics that have distinguished America since its establishment, which is what they want. The attributes that characterize America include grit, profit, manliness, thrift, individuality, dominion, merit, pride, and providence. These attributes were critical to success, and regaining their dominance is critical to reclaiming the American dream. Now is the moment for America to wake up.

  • The Assault on the State - How the Global Attack on Modern Government Endangers Our Future - cover

    The Assault on the State - How...

    What if the state as we know it didn't exist? Our air would be poisonous, our votes uncounted, and our markets dysfunctional. Yet across the world, in countries as diverse as Hungary, Israel, the UK, and the US, attacks on the modern state and its workforce are intensifying. They are morphing into power grabs by self-aggrandizing politicians who attempt to seize control of the state for themselves and their cronies. What replaces the modern state once it is fatally undermined is not the free market and the flowering of personal liberty. Instead, the death of government agencies organized under the rule of law inevitably leads to the only realistic alternative: the rule of men. 
     
     
     
    In The Assault on the State, political scientists Stephen Hanson and Jeffrey Kopstein offer an impassioned plea to defend modern government against those who seek to destroy it. They dissect the attack on the machinery of government from its origins in post-Soviet Russia to the core powers of Western democracy. The dangers of state erosion imperil every aspect of our lives. Hanson and Kopstein outline a strategy that can reverse this destructive trend before humanity is plunged back into the pathological personalistic politics of premodern times.
