Twenty-five years old and struggling to find his way in his journalism career, the young reporter who had been covering local political stories found himself smack in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis—fleeing air raids and being questioned by militants along the way. One year later when Hamas carried out its October 7th attack, Sherman flew right back into the thick of it—running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. While shrouded in the proverbial "Fog of War," it became clear to Sherman that the world isn't as simple as he thought it was.

Story0
History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern.

It seems obvious that we should use history to improve policy. If we have a good understanding of the past, it should enable better decisions in the present, especially in the extraordinarily consequential worlds of statecraft and strategy. But how do we gain that knowledge? How should history be used? Sadly, it is rarely done well, and historians and decision-makers seldom interact. But in this remarkable book, Francis J. Gavin explains the many ways historical knowledge can help us understand and navigate the complex, often confusing world around us.

A specter satisfies no one when it speaks in Victorian English. The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential texts ever written — and one of the worst served by its English translations. The standard version, by Samuel Moore in 1888, was drafted forty years after the original and revised by an aging Engels who smoothed out the raw urgency of the 1848 pamphlet. Every subsequent edition has relied on it. The result is that English-speaking readers have never encountered Marx and Engels as their first readers did: in a text designed to be read aloud in clandestine meetings, shouted...

History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern.

It seems obvious that we should use history to improve policy. If we have a good understanding of the past, it should enable better decisions in the present, especially in the extraordinarily consequential worlds of statecraft and strategy. But how do we gain that knowledge? How should history be used? Sadly, it is rarely done well, and historians and decision-makers seldom interact. But in this remarkable book, Francis J. Gavin explains the many ways historical knowledge can help us understand and navigate the complex, often confusing world around us.

A specter satisfies no one when it speaks in Victorian English. The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential texts ever written — and one of the worst served by its English translations. The standard version, by Samuel Moore in 1888, was drafted forty years after the original and revised by an aging Engels who smoothed out the raw urgency of the 1848 pamphlet. Every subsequent edition has relied on it. The result is that English-speaking readers have never encountered Marx and Engels as their first readers did: in a text designed to be read aloud in clandestine meetings, shouted...

Expert guidance for navigating the difficult new issues around free speech rights in higher education In their earlier book, Free Speech on Campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman argued that colleges and universities should permit the expression of the widest possible range of views. Nearly ten tumultuous years later, many issues have arisen that this simple principle does not adequately address. To what extent must an institution provide expensive security for extremely controversial speakers?

India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European ‘colonial consciousness’ (or ‘coloniality’), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus’ expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution—the Government of India Act of 1919.

Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to understanding Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability.

The Enlightenment promised to replace superstition with reason, tyranny with liberty, and ignorance with progress. Three centuries later, the results are in. Democratic governments no longer represent their citizens. Economic models that predicted shared prosperity have delivered stagnation and debt. The scientific establishment cannot correct its own errors. The very philosophers who enthroned reason ended by abandoning it entirely. What we are witnessing is not the corruption of a good idea by bad actors. It is the inevitable collapse of a framework that was flawed from its foundations. ...

Por eso al muy venerado Benito Juárez se le atribuye la frase: “A los amigos, justicia y gracia; a los enemigos, la ley a secas”, así que para una sociedad que sufre la impunidad y el abuso de poder sistemáticamente, conseguir influencia es una necesidad ...

"Securing America’s Borders and Putting Americans First” is a bullet-point scorecard of what the Trump Administration says it achieved in its first year. On immigration, it claims negative net migration in 2025, more than 2.6 million removals plus two million “self-deportations,” sharply lower illegal crossings, and reduced fentanyl trafficking, supported by detention over release, renewed wall construction, visa revocations, and tougher actions against cartel and terrorism-linked entrants.

The book contends that modern society’s core error is mistaking growth for disconnection—chasing technological progress while severing ties to tradition, nature, and collective wisdom. Using the metaphor of “the seed and the soil,” it shows how our cells, like seeds, carry ancestral memories of trauma, resilience, and adaptation, a reality now illuminated...

Not a partisan argument, but an orientation guide for a fractured public life, Beyond the Kingdom Within is, in essence, a pre-political memoir told through a series of short essays that examine authority, judgment, and restraint in American public life. It is an attempt to name why our public arguments keep failing—across institutions, culture, markets, and governance—and to offer a coherent architecture for thinking about power and responsibility under conditions of uncertainty.
