The Mysterious Affair Of Judith Potts

The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of many more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even when the stakes were incredibly high. Using unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change our political landscape.

The Achilles Trap

Erica James returns with a heart-warming story of neighbours living alongside each other in a converted mansion block. This touching tale of new friendships and second chances will delight her legion of fans.

Erica James Book 4

A vast and fascinating chronicle of how gender and sexuality has been used to divide people around the world over the last fifty years &gt;"New movements are alive and moving in the world. Human beings in struggle are creating new feminisms, changing sexualities, and defying genocide. Hope stalks the heart. We have written this book for these new movements." --from the introduction The Sexual Politics of Capitalism offers a groundbreaking examination of how the global elite has used gender, sexuality, and violence to maintain control. Anthropologist Nancy Lindisfarne and writer Jonathan Neale trace the devastating effects of these tactics, showing how issues of gender and sexuality have been weaponized, especially since the 1980s, to make inequality appear inevitable, keeping the powerful in power and the marginalized fighting for survival. Spanning the globe, Lindisfarne and Neale explore the lived experiences of those on the front lines of this struggle. From mass incarceration in the United States to the resilience of queer communities in China, from Black women's battles for AIDS medication in South Africa to the fight against toxic masculinity in world leaders like Putin, Modi, Trump, and Netanyahu, this book provides a sweeping yet deeply personal account of resistance. The authors draw connections between diverse movements--union women in Nicaragua, farmers' widows in India, and bar workers in Vietnam--showing how global forces of capitalism exploit gender and sexuality to maintain power. At the same time, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism shines a light on the ongoing revolts against sexual harassment, rape, and reproductive injustice, as well as the fight for trans rights in the United States. With meticulous research and a passionate call for change, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism is more than a history--it is a manifesto for liberation. The authors invite readers to feel the grief and rage sparked by decades of oppression but also the solidarity and hope inspired by the global movements rising up in response. This radical work challenges us to confront the intimate and structural forces shaping our world and to join the fight for a more just and equitable future.

The Sexual Politics of Capitalism

Michael Mann Project 2

Resistance

Few countries have had as vexed a political history as Syria. Carved out of the Ottoman empire at the end of the First World War, Syria was then brutally ruled by France. This French 'mandate' carved out new borders with equally provisional neighbours in a process that pulled apart families, trade networks and political assumptions that had already been ravaged by the war. Syria's subsequent history has been a series of attempts to make sense of its borders, including a failed attempt in the late 1950s to unite with Egypt and several humiliations at the hands of Israel's armed forces. The civil war that broke out in 2011 plunged Syria into a nightmarish series of disasters, including the terrible years of Islamic State, ultimately resulting in the reimposition of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship, which came to an end in 2024. Daniel Neep's remarkable book creates a gripping, intelligent narrative of how Syrians have lived through these events, never losing sight either of the fates of ordinary people or of Syria's rich, complex and diverse society, unwillingly or willingly brought together in such a highly contested space.

A History of Modern Syria

In the overwhelming chaos across Asia at the end of the Second World War, one relatively minor issue was the future of the Japanese colony of Taiwan, a large island some one hundred miles off the coast of Fujian. Handed to the Kuomintang-ruled Republic of China, in 1949 it suddenly became the focus of global attention as a random cross-section of defeated Nationalists, including President Chiang Kai-shek, fled there from Mao's triumphant Communist forces. The Struggle for Taiwan is a balanced and convincing account of the sequence of events that has left Taiwan for generations as a political anomaly, with issues around its status and future continuing to threaten war. With deepening democratization, Taiwan further goads Beijing, remaining functionally independent from China even as Xi Jinping clamours for unification. This invaluable book allows readers to understand the complex story of this unique place and its role in international relations. With its striking economic dynamism and commitment to democracy, can Taiwan continue - as Hong Kong once did - to thrive, or will China conquer it? And will the world be able to maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait or will it stumble into war?

A History

The Struggle for Taiwan

Mutiny in the Mountains uses labor history to show the way forward for millions of workers struggling in an age of uncertainty.
In 1969, thousands of West Virginia state highway workers went on strike in fear that they faced impending loss of their jobs as they were excluded from civil service protection. Although the walkout coincided with one of the most severe winters to affect road conditions, the newly elected governor fired the strikers. The 1969 State Road Strike inaugurated a half decade of public sector organizing and protest that culminated in the historic public-school strikes of 2018–19 that shut down all schools across the Mountain State and inspired a wave of public education strikes in Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and beyond.
Beginning with the nation’s first general strike in 1877, that started with railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and including the early coal strikes in 1912–13 and an armed insurrection in 1921, most treatments of the state’s labor history have focused on the private sector. This is the first comprehensive history of the struggles waged by state and local government workers in West Virginia. The involvement of numerous unions and interventions of the state legislative and executive branches is traced in order to provide context for those struggles. Relying on journalistic sources, legislative enactments, court decisions, and participant interviews, Mutiny in the Mountains accounts the fifty-year struggle of West Virginia’s public sector workers to assert power without the benefit of significant collective bargaining rights or political leverage.
