Kennedy wrote \"Why England Slept\" in 1940, adapting it from his Harvard senior thesis. The book examines why Britain was unprepared for war with Nazi Germany during the 1930s, tracing the political and psychological pressures behind the government's appeasement policy, its slow pace of rearmament, and the broader question of how a democracy responds to the threat of totalitarian aggression. Kennedy weighs the role of public opinion, disarmament sentiment, and defense spending debates in shaping Britain's response to Hitler.\n\nThe title echoes Winston Churchill's own account of the same period, \"While England Slept,\" published two years earlier.

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,[370],{"id":371,"slug":372,"name":373},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[375,379,380,381],{"id":376,"name":377,"slug":378,"is_fiction":19},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":384,"themes":385,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[148,150,151],[],{"id":387,"slug":388,"title":389,"description":390,"primary_cover_url":391,"cover_blurhash":392,"first_publish_year":393,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":394,"authors":395,"genres":400,"series":408,"enrichment":409},"01knpxdkfbxe39dk7279fzdmq3","strangers-in-their-own-land-gk8y","Strangers in Their Own Land","\"In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country--a stronghold of the conservative right. 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. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[396],{"id":397,"slug":398,"name":399},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[401,402,406,407],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":403,"name":404,"slug":405,"is_fiction":18},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":18},{"id":175,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":410,"themes":411,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[151,150],[],{"id":413,"slug":414,"title":415,"description":416,"primary_cover_url":417,"cover_blurhash":418,"first_publish_year":393,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":419,"authors":420,"genres":425,"series":432,"enrichment":433},"01kx6p7b45yn9xda66r5t2tpyk","chernobyl-012340-fdhe","Chernobyl 01:23:40","At 01:23:40 on April 26, 1986, an operator pressed the emergency shutdown button at Chernobyl's fourth reactor — the moment that triggered the world's worst nuclear disaster, forced the permanent evacuation of a city, and crippled the Soviet Union.\n\nDrawing on five years of research, Andrew Leatherbarrow gives an accessible, comprehensive account of what actually happened: the fight to stop a burning reactor core from irradiating eastern Europe, the men who worked in radiation fields so intense that machines failed, the truth behind the \"Chernobyl diver\" legend, and the USSR's eventual show trial.
