What is "the big lie" of the Democratic Party? That conservatives - and President Donald Trump in particular - are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a fascist threat in America - but that threat is from the Left and the Democratic Party.

Kissinger's six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old. 

Based on over a hundred interviews and on secret records of White House-Kremlin contacts, Not One Inch shows how the United States successfully overcame Russian resistance in the 1990s to expand NATO to more than 900 million people. But it also reveals how Washington's hardball tactics transformed the era between the Cold War and the present day, undermining what could have become a lasting partnership.

If you've been baffled at how citizens of the United States, even people you know, could turn against their democracy, there is an answer.

Slavoj Žižek's thought is as provocative as it is dense, as playful as it is rigorous. His concepts circulate across philosophy, psychoanalysis, Marxism, theology, and popular culture, returning again and again in new configurations. For listeners, this makes Žižek irresistible—and often difficult to follow. Žižek Dictionary offers a clear and structured map of the conceptual core of his work.

The United States is facing a growing crisis that few fully understand but everyone will ultimately feel: the federal debt. Drawing from a powerful series of essays originally published on Substack, this book breaks down one of the most complex and urgent issues confronting the nation today. With clarity and purpose, it explains how the federal debt has reached levels comparable to at the end of World War II—and why that should concern every American.

The issue of Irish home rule was the dominant political question of British and Irish politics in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Published in 1887, this work contains articles in favour of the measure. (Irish home rule was finally approved in 1914 but implementation was suspended until after WWI.)

The View of the Revolutions of Europe by M. Koch, has been long known and highly esteemed on the Continent as a work of incontestable merit, and entitled to hold the first rank among productions of its kind.

As a concise, luminous, and accurate summary of general history, it stands unrivalled. The principal events and vicissitudes of more than fourteen hundred years are here condensed within an incredibly ...

In a press conference in Oslo, a journalist asked a question. And she asked something similar again to the Prime Minister of India after the press briefing. I am not getting into about protocol or the way she asked. I am thinking about the gap. The gap between what she was asking and what could possibly have been answered inside the shape of her question. Because she was asking about a country. And the trouble is — India is not a country. Not in the way the word is usually meant.
