The Icarus Syndrome by Peter Beinart (.M4B)

The Icarus Syndrome: A History of American Hubris by Peter Beinart
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 501.9 MB
Overview: In The Icarus Syndrome, Peter Beinart tells a tale as old as the Greeks-a story about the seductions of success. Beinart describes Washington on the eve of three wars-World War I, Vietnam, and Iraq-three moments when American leaders decided they could remake the world in their image. Each time, leading intellectuals declared that history was over, and the spread of democracy was inevitable. Each time, a president held the nation in the palm of his hand. And each time, a war conceived in arrogance brought untold tragedy.In dazzling color, Beinart portrays three extraordinary generations: the progressives who took America into World War I, led by Woodrow Wilson, the lonely preacher's son who became the closest thing to a political messiah the world had ever seen; the Camelot intellectuals who took America into Vietnam, led by Lyndon Johnson, who lay awake at night after night shaking with fear that his countrymen considered him weak; and George W. Bush and the post-cold war neoconservatives, the romantic bullies who believed they could bludgeon the Middle East and liberate it at the same time.Like Icarus, each of these generations crafted "wings"-a theory about America's relationship to the world. They flapped carefully at first, but gradually lost their inhibitions until, giddy with success, they flew into the sun.But every era also brought new leaders and thinkers who found wisdom in pain. They reconciled American optimism-our belief that anything is possible-with the realities of a world that will never fully bend to our will. In their struggles lie the seeds of American renewal today.Based on years of research, The Icarus Syndrome is a provocative and strikingly original account of hubris in the American century-and how we learn from the tragedies that result.

The Russian FSB by Kevin P. Riehle (.ePUB)
Posted by: HansAdam at Mar 25th, 2024, 10:06 pm in General
The Russian FSB. A Concise History of the Federal Security Service by Kevin P. Riehle
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.1mb
Overview: An introduction to Putin's formidable intelligence and security organization
Since its founding in 1995, the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, has regained the majority of the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Under Vladimir Putin, who served as FSB director just before becoming president, the agency has grown to be one of the most powerful and favored organizations in Russia. The FSB not only conducts internal security but also has primacy in intelligence operations in former Soviet states. Their activities include anti-dissident operations at home and abroad, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations of crimes against the state, and guarding Russia's borders.
In The Russian FSB, Kevin P. Riehle provides a brief history of the FSB's origins, placed within the context of Russian history, the government's power structure, and Russia's wider culture. He describes how the FSB's mindset and priorities show continuities from the tsarist regimes and the Soviet era. The book's chapters analyze origins, organizational structure, missions, leaders, international partners, and cultural representations such as the FSB in film and television.
Based on both English and Russian sources, this book is a well-researched introduction to understanding the FSB and its central role in Putin's Russia.

Milton's Mill Master: A N&S Variation by Julia Daniels (.ePUB)
Posted by: onlymeforreal at Mar 25th, 2024, 10:01 pm in Romance
Milton's Mill Master: A North & South Variation by Julia Daniels
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 386 kB
Overview: For readers who cannot get enough of Gaskell’s North & South love story, there comes a fresh variation…
Having barely kept Marlborough Mills afloat after a disastrous strike, John Thornton leads a group of fellow mill men to London in search of investors. His mentor, Mr. Adam Bell, not only brings forth men with money, but also introduces his lovely goddaughter, Margaret Hale.
In London, Margaret, still mourning the death of her mother, is shocked to learn her father has left his respectable position as a clergyman. He plans, instead, to accept Mr. Bell’s offer and move to the industrial town in the north, Milton, and become headmaster at an exclusive boys’ school.
Thrown together by chance or Mr. Bell’s cunning, Margaret and John develop a deep attraction to each other during his London trip. Raised as a very proper lady in the highest social circles, Margaret is hesitant to leave all the splendor of London for a town her Aunt Shaw has described as dismal and filthy. Her aunt is also not keen on Margaret developing a tendre for a common tradesman. Yet, despite her aunt’s opposition, Margaret agrees to visit Milton, for she knows her father’s low spirits will worsen if she does not, and also, she has a future with the handsome John Thornton to consider.
Margaret’s arrival in the north is not without pitfalls: John’s indomitable mother has already hand-picked another woman to be John’s wife; an impending, violent strike at Marlborough Mills threatens her safety, and Margaret sees poverty unlike she could ever imagine.
Despite what Margaret’s heart feels, her head tells her that Milton may not be the place for her. How will she ever fit in? As she and John fall in love, how can she just leave him...and her father? With so much chaos surrounding them, will the love from Milton’s Mill Master be enough to make Margaret stay?
