  Mission to Mao - US Intelligence...

  From 1941 to 1947, the United States planted a liaison mission in the headquarters of Chinese Communist forces behind the lines. Nicknamed the "Dixie Mission," for its location in "rebel" territory, it was an interagency delegation that included intelligence officers from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). 
   
   
   
  Mission to Mao is a social history of the OSS officers in the field that reveals the weakness of United States intelligence diplomacy in the 1940s. Drawing on over 14,000 unpublished records from five archives as well as white papers and memoirs from the participants, Sara B. Castro demonstrates how the OSS officers clashed with political appointees and Washington over the direction of the United States relationship with the Chinese Communists. Initially, the OSS officers were sent to gather intelligence that would help the war effort against Japan, but interagency and political conflicts erupted over whether the mission would later involve operations with the Communists. Castro shows how potential benefits for the war effort were thwarted by politicization and the OSS officers' own biases and blind spots. 
   
   
   
  Mission to Mao is a fresh look at United States intelligence in World War II China and takes listeners beyond the history of "China hands" versus American anticommunists, introducing more nuance.

  Well Beings - How the Seventies...

  James Riley, author of the cult hit The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, returns with another incisive and thought-provoking cultural history, turning his trenchant eye to the wellness industry that emerged in the 1970s.
  
  Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly twenty-first century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. Riley dives into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era's music, film, art and literature.
  Well Beings delves deep into the mind of the seventies - its popular culture, its radical philosophies, its approach to health and its sense of social crisis. It tells the story of what was sought, what was found and how these explorations helped the 'Me Decade' find itself. In so doing, it questions what good health means today and reveals what the seventies can teach us about the strange art of being well.

  Kanem-Bornu - The...

  Before the rise of the mighty Kanem-Bornu dynasty, the vast expanse of the Sahel was home to diverse tribes and scattered settlements that laid the groundwork for what would become one of the Sahara’s longest-lasting empires. In this early era, communities thrived in a challenging environment where survival hinged on adaptability and a profound connection with the land. The region, bridging the fertile savannahs and the arid expanse of the desert, nurtured a mosaic of cultures that developed sophisticated social structures long before centralized power emerged. 
  The early inhabitants relied on oral traditions to pass down stories of heroic ancestors, migrations, and the intimate bond they shared with nature. These narratives, rich in symbolism and local lore, served as the cultural bedrock for later generations. They recounted times of plentiful harvests and the strategic use of scarce water resources, highlighting the ingenuity and resilience of communities that innovated in agriculture and irrigation. Such stories not only preserved the memory of a once-abundant land but also inspired the collaborative spirit that would be essential for forming larger political entities.  
  Over time, as environmental challenges and the need for security intensified, these small communities began to coalesce into broader tribal alliances. The bonds formed through intermarriage, trade, and mutual defense gradually paved the way for the emergence of rudimentary governance structures. Early leaders, often revered for their wisdom and ability to resolve conflicts, began to assert influence over wider territories, laying the foundational framework for centralized authority. These leaders capitalized on the established trade networks that crisscrossed the region, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies that further solidified communal bonds.
