Beginning in the 1960s, the Soviet Union was unexpectedly confronted by a dissident movement that captured the world’s imagination. Demanding that the Kremlin obey its own laws, an improbable band of Soviet citizens held unauthorized public gatherings, petitioned in support of arrested intellectuals, and circulated banned samizdat texts. Against all odds, the dissident movement undermined the Soviet system and unexpectedly hastened its collapse. To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause is a definitive history of a remarkable group of people who helped change the twentieth century.

New Zealand author Trevor Loudon has conducted a deep dive into the communist affiliations of the current Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. In Comrade Prime Minister, Trevor Loudon meticulously excavates Albanese's previously-hidden forty year alliance with the tiny - but extremely influential - Australian revolutionary movement.

It argues that the proletariat, or working class, will lead the revolution against the capitalist system's inherent class inequalities. Spanning four sections, the manifesto traces class struggles, critiques the bourgeoisie, reviews socialist and communist literature, and examines the position of communists relative to opposition parties.

Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk erzählt die Geschichte Ostdeutschlands seit 1990 als Kampf um die Freiheit – ein Kampf, dessen Ausgang richtungsweisend ist für die Zukunft ganz Deutschlands. Er will aufrütteln: zu mehr aktiver Eigenverantwortung, zu einer Abkehr von der eigenen Opferrolle und zu einem Blick auf die Geschichte, bei dem die DDR nicht immer schöner wird, je länger sie her ist.

The Home I Worked to Make takes Syria's refugee outflow as its point of departure. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade, it probes a question as intimate as it is universal: What is home?

I tragici capricci della storia rendono, questo, un libro singolare. Ancora una volta Bruno Vespa intreccia presente e passato, narrato però in presa diretta, come fosse attualità. Assistiamo così alla lentissima costruzione di un idillio che avrebbe portato l'Europa alla catastrofe e, subito dopo, osserviamo il mondo d'oggi, che segue con il fiato sospeso le due guerre in atto (Ucraina e Medio Oriente) sperando che prevalga il buonsenso.

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.

From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War tells the story of several communities as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West.

Un alegato a favor de la globalización: no es excesiva, sino insuficiente. El libre mercado ha sacado a millones de personas del hambre y la pobreza, una realidad evidente incluso para Marx y Engels. Pese a ello, a principios de este milenio, emergió y proliferó un potente movimiento anticapitalista internacional. Johan Norberg desarrolló entonces una esclarecedora defensa de la teoría y la práctica del liberalismo económico. Su tesis contribuyó a crear conciencia sobre el hecho de que los países sólo podrían salir del subdesarrollo con más comercio, inversión e iniciativa empresarial.

Klimakrise, Kriege, Inflation, Migration – Deutschland steht vor großen Herausforderungen und Fragen, die dringend zukunftsweisende Antworten brauchen. Zugleich wird der öffentliche Diskurs immer stärker durch Schwarz-Weiß- und Freund-Feind-Denken geprägt; manche Meinung oder Wortmeldung führt direkt in einen Shitstorm. Tagesschau-Sprecher Constantin Schreiber, der diese Entwicklung am eigenen Leib erfahren hat, legt mit diesem alarmierenden Buch den Finger in die Wunde unserer zunehmenden Diskursunfähigkeit.
