Runica manuscripta: Die nordische Tradition

"This book examines the dynamics of Iranian political refugees settling in and migrating through Turkey after the 1980 coup and how they were able to influence its asylum policies. Maral Jefroudi presents a comprehensive picture of one of the biggest migration waves in contemporary history. Bringing together interviews with refugees from the period, analysing the cultural products by and on them, and tracing their footsteps in newspapers, archives, and scholarly literature, this book presents a thorough ethnography of Iranians in transit in Turkey after the 1979 Revolution"--

A media scholar&nbsp;critically examines how US establishment media ran interference for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, with reporting that called the Flour Massacre “aid-related deaths,” and the Tent Massacre a “tragic mistake.” Over eight months, media coverage aligned with Israeli military narratives, condoning Israeli war crimes and the massacres of Palestinians as the world responded in outrage.
The Complicit Lens&nbsp;scrutinizes US media's portrayal of Israel’s war on Gaza post-October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, contrasting it with social media reports and international news coverage. It reveals how reporting mystified Israeli bombings, used passive language to deflect blame, and repeated Israeli talking points. The analysis identifies consistent war tropes and atrocity propaganda—beheaded babies and mass rape—used to justify Israeli actions and obscure culpability.&nbsp;Israeli violence was presented as defensive and justified, either by the October 7 attacks, or by claims that Israel was targeting Hamas fighters and commanders not civilians. Later reporting included false claims that war crimes and massacres were mistakes or accidents.
The book&nbsp;documents the targeted killings of journalists and aid workers, underreported in US media, and critiques the editorial censorship that avoided terms like "genocide" and "massacre" for Palestinian deaths. As global protests against the Gaza genocide rose, the book also analyzes the biased media portrayal of these uprisings, particularly those led by young people and Jewish organizations. Examining specific incidents and language, the book exposes how media coverage facilitated the ongoing genocide in Gaza.&nbsp;

Middle East Patterns

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.
