A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6pa0fy2z5h4jewrhsmzd58.jpg?v=8fe3a6cc60","LxJa+TRjWCj@_Noef5fQRka}j[az",1998,475,[86],{"id":87,"slug":88,"name":89},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[91,95,96,97],{"id":92,"name":93,"slug":94,"is_fiction":17},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":98,"name":99,"slug":100,"is_fiction":17},55,"World War I","world-war-i",[],{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":104,"themes":105,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[66,68,69],[],{"id":107,"slug":108,"title":109,"description":110,"primary_cover_url":111,"cover_blurhash":112,"first_publish_year":113,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":114,"authors":115,"genres":120,"series":132,"enrichment":133},"01kk2bwnt93qxyf28tj5scfyqe","reconstruction-klgj","Reconstruction","A definitive account of Reconstruction—the period after the American Civil War when the defeated Southern states were reintegrated into the Union and millions of formerly enslaved people fought for citizenship, land, and political power.

As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America.

To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states.

We habitually think of the European past as the history of countries which exist today - France, Germany, Britain, Russia and so on - but often this actually obstructs our view of the past, and blunts our sensitivity to the ever-changing political landscape. Europe's history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map of their age - 'the Empire of Aragon' which once dominated the western Mediterranean; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for a time the largest country in Europe; the successive kingdoms (and one duchy) of Burgundy, much of whose history is now half-remembered - or half-forgotten - at best. This book shows the reader how to peer through the cracks of mainstream history writing and listen to the echoes of lost realms across the centuries. How many British people know that Glasgow was founded by the Welsh in a period when neither England nor Scotland existed? How many of us will remember the former Soviet Union in a few generations' time? Will our own United Kingdom become a distant memory too? As in his earlier celebrated books Europe: a history and The Isles, Norman Davies aims to subvert our established view of what seems familiar, and urges us to look and think again. This stimulating surprising book, full of unexpected stories, observations and connections, gives us a fresh and original perspective on the history of Europe. -- Product Description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nygmmx7q6nj6f9hecehpt.jpg?v=8364edc35a","LhJbdCs,%LRk?wjrjZt7ITofWBog",2011,672,[667],{"id":668,"slug":669,"name":670},"01kx6nygmjg03sqqgca3pa3m3x","norman-jordan-davies-2ro5","Norman Jordan Davies",[672,673],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":62,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":676,"themes":677,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[66,67,69],[],{"id":107,"slug":108,"title":109,"description":110,"primary_cover_url":111,"cover_blurhash":112,"first_publish_year":113,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":114,"authors":679,"genres":681,"series":687,"enrichment":688},[680],{"id":117,"slug":118,"name":119},[682,683,684,685,686],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":689,"themes":690,"setting_period":7,"summary":110,"content_warnings":7},[66,69],[],{"id":692,"slug":693,"title":694,"description":695,"primary_cover_url":696,"cover_blurhash":697,"first_publish_year":698,"community_rating_avg":383,"community_rating_count":384,"page_count":699,"authors":700,"genres":709,"series":714,"enrichment":715},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan). Each chapter runs roughly a dozen pages, combining basic biography with the historians' reasoning for a president's placement.

During that trip, John F. Kennedy kept a diary, never before published and until now unknown - even to Kennedy scholars. As the diary makes clear, that European trip was a turning point in the future President's life. The scion of one of America's wealthiest families, Jack Kennedy had grown up in the shadow of an adored older brother destined for greatness. For himself, Jack had intended a quiet career as a college professor or perhaps as an author. But when Joe Kennedy, Jr. was killed in the skies over the English Channel, the expectations of his family and the mantle of leadership passed on to JFK. Would he accept them? That was the question that confronted Kennedy as he traveled in the company of cabinet secretaries and generals, future presidents and prime ministers, toured a humbled Germany, and faced for the first time the power of post-war Russia and the perfidy and bloody-mindedness of Communists in power. It was on this trip, the diary shows, that Kennedy first confronted the \"long twilight struggle\" for the preservation of Western freedom that would define his Presidency. In these few months an agenda for a Presidency began to be forged. For as the closing pages of the diary make clear, it was at this time that the challenge was accepted, the mantle taken up, and Kennedy began laying plans for his first run for Congress, the first step in his journey to the White House. Prelude to Leadership offers, as Hugh Sidey says in his Introduction, an \"intriguing new trove\" of insight into the mind of a future president preparing himself for a \"still distant challenge.\" It reveals a man who, not yet thirty, understood not only that a new world drama was taking shape, but that he was destined to play a great role in it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6naqnzdfj51pppgzcvzhkp.jpg?v=55680b8e30","L7A,n8?H0KE1R,D*WBt7~qWXt6M|","4.00",210,[732],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},[734,735,736,737],{"id":222,"name":223,"slug":224,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":325,"name":326,"slug":327,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":62,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":740,"themes":741,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[68,202],[],{"id":743,"slug":744,"title":745,"description":746,"primary_cover_url":747,"cover_blurhash":748,"first_publish_year":347,"community_rating_avg":383,"community_rating_count":384,"page_count":749,"authors":750,"genres":755,"series":758,"enrichment":759},"01kx6ngemb1g4sd5gfbkddgzym","jfk-cssw","JFK","A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian's account of John F.

On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.Critically adored novelist Javier Cercas originally set out to write a novel about this pivotal moment, but determined it had already gained an air of myth, or, through the annual broadcast of video clips, had at least acquired the fictional taint of reality television. Cercas turned to nonfiction, and his vivid descriptions of the archival footage frame a narrative that traverses the line between history and art, creating a daring new account of this watershed moment in modern Spanish history.The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25pkb76xrh29vfj8vdmy9k.jpg?v=d4bc1e6284","L5C=O_TFt5M~0$w{xZIq_r?Dxsf7",410,[771],{"id":772,"slug":773,"name":774},"01kpp8fzqbh54d1pzthf7rs9ky","javier-cercas-ivrl","Javier Cercas",[776,777,778],{"id":357,"name":358,"slug":359,"is_fiction":17},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":781,"themes":782,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[69,67],[],{"id":784,"slug":785,"title":786,"description":787,"primary_cover_url":788,"cover_blurhash":789,"first_publish_year":790,"community_rating_avg":383,"community_rating_count":384,"page_count":791,"authors":792,"genres":797,"series":800,"enrichment":801},"01kx6n2fdwver7y6jy3j2vkv0g","when-lions-roar-kibf","When lions roar","A far-reaching history of the intertwined personal and public lives of the Churchills and the Kennedys discusses their respective family views, how they overcame bitter differences to unite against Hitler and the enduring influence of their collaborations.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6n2fdwver7y6jy3j2vkv0g.jpg?v=a79c0b075e","L5L4vgIU~q%M00D%IVD*j@%MxuIU",2014,767,[793],{"id":794,"slug":795,"name":796},"01kx6n2fe9h10nvpcne91b1qpd","maier-thomas-bn8a","Maier, Thomas",[798,799],{"id":222,"name":223,"slug":224,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":802,"themes":803,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[66,69],[],{"id":805,"slug":806,"title":807,"description":808,"primary_cover_url":809,"cover_blurhash":810,"first_publish_year":811,"community_rating_avg":812,"community_rating_count":384,"page_count":813,"authors":814,"genres":819,"series":825,"enrichment":826},"01kx6nfnfbenxkpzkxank88rnc","destiny-betrayed-akh6","Destiny betrayed","Almost thirty years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his murder continues to haunt the American psyche and stands as a turning point in our nation's history. The Warren Commission rushed out its Report, but the questions would not go away. Was there a conspiracy? Was there a coup at the highest levels of government? Today, after millions upon millions have seen Oliver Stone's incisive film, JFK, the drive to reexamine this crime of the century has. Reached fever pitch. The core of that movement, the protagonist of JFK, is Jim Garrison. On March 1, 1967, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison electrified the world by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder the President. His co-conspirator, David Ferrie, had been found dead a few days before. Garrison charged that elements of the United States government, in particular the CIA, were behind the crime. From the beginning, his probe was. Virulently attacked in the media and violently denounced from Washington. His office was infiltrated and sabotaged, and witnesses disappeared and died strangely. Eventually, Shaw was acquitted after the briefest of jury deliberations and the only prosecution ever brought for the murder of President Kennedy was over. But Garrison never stopped pursuing the case, and, over the years, an army of investigators and researchers have confirmed the essence of his case; Jim. Garrison has been vindicated. Only a small minority of Americans still support the conclusions of the Warren Commission, and, since the release of JFK, that minority is shrinking every day. There is a growing demand for the declassification of the mountains of documents that have been locked up in government vaults for decades. There are calls for a new and thorough investigation. James DiEugenio's Destiny Betrayed is the most up-to-date and clearest analysis ever. Published of Garrison's pioneering inquiry and the assassination itself. The author not only studied all the existing research, but also traveled the U.S. interviewing many of the survivors of this drama, exploring the background and associations of Clay Shaw as no one has ever done. He was granted access to the privately held original Shaw trial transcript. He covered documents never before published or described in full. Destiny Betrayed is one of the few works that. Truly furthers our understanding of the assassination of JFK, its surrounding circumstances, and the continuing mysteries. Everything in this book is fully documented, with upwards of a thousand notes and an extensive bibliography. The author was assisted in the research by Bob Spiegelman, who helped research JFK. And Zachary Sklar's Introduction provides an intimate profile of Jim Garrison today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nfnfw9msp9a896tr2r4a3.jpg?v=1ea8b3aa3d","L5SPLhxu-:~qD%M{t7fk?at6a$WB",1992,"2.00",423,[815],{"id":816,"slug":817,"name":818},"01kx6nfnfqp07vmbfdmn4n87km","james-dieugenio-zhoa","James DiEugenio",[820,824],{"id":821,"name":822,"slug":823,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":103,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":827,"themes":828,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[260,593],[],{"id":830,"slug":831,"title":832,"description":833,"primary_cover_url":834,"cover_blurhash":835,"first_publish_year":347,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":836,"authors":837,"genres":842,"series":845,"enrichment":846},"01kx2g9vshd0czdcewxrkyvs0a","how-we-show-up-islk","How We Show Up","\"A provocative, essential guide to showing up for each other and cultivating community, from activist, community organizer and thought leader whose viral TED talk has been viewed more than 1.8 million times\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2g9vtjkpf3jjmttbf6nc16.jpg?v=b492b73a0b","LIK^Z{t700nixtfPWCba00af~qe.",272,[838],{"id":839,"slug":840,"name":841},"01kx2g9vsy7ed45ft8d7v6prrp","mia-birdsong-tp8v","Mia Birdsong",[843,844],{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":62,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":847,"themes":848,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[202,68],[],[]]
