It closes with an argument for how the United States should conduct foreign policy in a post-Cold War, multipolar world, weighing the tension between Wilsonian idealism and Realpolitik that Kissinger sees as the defining thread of American diplomatic history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p6zexnw7xm5kbgcpfmc6s.jpg?v=e81132fc79","LhN^6roftRs:~qafozj[4nayj@ay",1995,912,[468],{"id":469,"slug":470,"name":471},"01kk2sn5t5me7aqpwtv1p5yy8e","henry-kissinger-8mxr","Henry Kissinger",[473,474,475],{"id":147,"name":148,"slug":149,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":355,"name":356,"slug":357,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":76,"complexity":7,"audience":79,"mood":478,"themes":479,"setting_period":7,"summary":480,"content_warnings":7},[84,81,220,82],[],"A sweeping history of international diplomacy from the Peace of Westphalia to the end of the Cold War, written by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and drawing on his own experience shaping American foreign policy.",{"id":482,"slug":483,"title":484,"description":485,"primary_cover_url":486,"cover_blurhash":487,"first_publish_year":465,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":488,"authors":489,"genres":494,"series":497,"enrichment":498},"01kx6p3m747dgfwf7pz946ttav","the-wars-of-the-roses-7nuy","The Wars of the Roses","Lancaster and York. For much of the fifteenth century, these two families were locked in battle for control of the British monarchy. Kings were murdered and deposed. Armies marched on London. Old noble names were ruined while rising dynasties seized power and lands. The war between the royal House of Lancaster and York, the longest and most complex in British history, profoundly altered the course of the monarchy. In The Wars of the Roses, Alison Weir reconstructs this conflict with the same dramatic flair and impeccable research that she brought to her highly praised The Princes in the Tower. The first battle erupted in 1455, but the roots of the conflict reached back to the dawn of the fifteenth century, when the corrupt, hedonistic Richard II was sadistically murdered, and Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king, seized England's throne. Both Henry IV and his son, the cold warrior Henry V, ruled England ably, if not always wisely--but Henry VI proved a disaster, both for his dynasty and his kingdom. Only nine months old when his father's sudden death made him king, Henry VI became a tormented and pathetic figure, weak, sexually inept, and prey to fits of insanity. The factional fighting that plagued his reign escalated into bloody war when Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, laid claim to the throne that was rightfully his--and backed up his claim with armed might. Alison Weir brings brilliantly to life both the war itself and the historic figures who fought it on the great stage of England. Here are the queens who changed history through their actions--the chic, unconventional Katherine of Valois, Henry V's queen; the ruthless, social-climbing Elizabeth Wydville; and, most crucially, Margaret of Anjou, a far tougher and more powerful character than her husband,, Henry VI, and a central figure in the Wars of the Roses. Here, too, are the nobles who carried the conflict down through the generations--the Beauforts, the bastard descendants of John of Gaunt, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, known to his contemporaries as \"the Kingmaker\"; and the Yorkist King, Edward IV, a ruthless charmer who pledged his life to cause the downfall of the House of Lancaster. The Wars of the Roses is history at its very best--swift and compelling, rich in character, pageantry, and drama, and vivid in its re-creation of an astonishing, dangerous, and often grim period of history. Alison Weir, one of the foremost authorities on the British royal family, demonstrates here that she is also one of the most dazzling stylists writing history today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p3m7hmng26ppj19ckdfvd.jpg?v=154f472ef2","L7CGMj00Nw_M0L%#oLRPMx.7RPRQ",462,[490],{"id":491,"slug":492,"name":493},"01kkc82xmb1x737y3wp2z7988z","alison-weir-lq4q","Alison Weir",[495,496],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":203,"name":204,"slug":205,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":179,"complexity":7,"audience":79,"mood":499,"themes":501,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[500,181,82],"tense",[502],"multiple-povs",{"id":504,"slug":505,"title":506,"description":507,"primary_cover_url":508,"cover_blurhash":509,"first_publish_year":510,"community_rating_avg":511,"community_rating_count":512,"page_count":513,"authors":514,"genres":519,"series":529,"enrichment":530},"01kx2kvtaejqr3p502ax1jh18s","the-lost-gospel-emn5","The lost gospel","\"This is the first full account of the lost gospel of Jesus' original followers, revealing him to be a Jewish Socrates who was mythologized into the New Testament Christ. Compiled by his followers during his lifetime, the Book of Q (from Quelle, German for source) became the prime foundation for the New Testament gospels. Once lost, it has been reconstructed through a century of scholarship. In presenting his own translation, Burton Mack explains how the text of Q was determined and explores the implications of the discovery that Jesus was transformed into the dying and rising messianic savior of Christianity by the New Testament gospels.\" \"Instead of telling a dramatic story about Jesus' life as the Christian gospels do, the Book of Q contained only his sayings. The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time.\" \"In The Lost Gospel, Burton Mack puts forth the first popular translation of Q as scholarly consensus has reconstructed it; shows that Jesus' life story as presented in the New Testament gospels was fictionalized for theological purposes; reveals Jesus to be a countercultural teacher and leader - subsequently mythologized into the Christ of the New Testament; depicts Jesus' followers not as Christians, but as disciples of a wise, antiestablishment teacher; they did not believe him to be the son of God, believe that he rose from the dead, or gather to worship in his name and concludes that Christianity is a mythologized religion (like Buddhism and other religions) rooted in a historical figure and teachings that in reality are quite remote from conventional beliefs.\"--Jacket.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kvtc4rvmkepgyx0e012m9.jpg?v=e8bca37700","LKI2[%~8R7I=tP-TxDafEgnjNday",1993,"4.00",1,275,[515],{"id":516,"slug":517,"name":518},"01kx2kvtav2fh4xjp3f7kx2pf6","burton-l-mack-ndbt","Burton L.

Hochschild uses these intertwined lives to examine competing loyalties — to country, to military duty, and to the idea of international solidarity — and to give weight to the war's dissenters alongside its more familiar heroes.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nw81xddsn1n02f4pkfjc0.jpg?v=ca41838054","LHONB[D%x]~q00D%IV%N9Z%Me.IU",2011,448,[883],{"id":884,"slug":885,"name":886},"01kjv3f6wcwjspwp76r6v8x5ef","adam-hochschild-uomk","Adam Hochschild",[888,892,893,894,895,896],{"id":889,"name":890,"slug":891,"is_fiction":18},57,"Military","military",{"id":203,"name":204,"slug":205,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":355,"name":356,"slug":357,"is_fiction":19},{"id":582,"name":583,"slug":584,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":127,"complexity":7,"audience":79,"mood":899,"themes":900,"setting_period":7,"summary":901,"content_warnings":7},[84,220,82],[],"A history of World War I in Britain, told through the war's generals and volunteers alongside the pacifists and conscientious objectors who opposed it — and paid for that opposition with prison time.",[]]
