The Intellectual History of America

Andrew Gordon

Bertram Ramsay has acquired almost mythical status in the history of the Second World War, firstly as the principal organizer of the Dunkirk evacuation and then as naval commander of the Allied invasion of Normandy - in the eyes of many, 'the organizer of victory'. But because Ramsay was killed in January 1945 and never wrote his own memoirs, his life has until now been difficult to pin down. 
 
Andrew Gordon, prize-winning author of The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command, writing with the help of Ramsay's descendants, now describes the career of this intense and territorial man in full, for the first time establishing his true role in the two great tests of his life and conveying his very particular personality. This is a superb biography of a naval officer, which also illuminated afresh British history in the first half of the twentieth century.

The Life of Bertram Ramsay

Philip Gourevitch

Philip Gourevitch's modern classic We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families opened our eyes to the 1994 genocide of Rwanda's Tutsi minority: close to a million people murdered by their neighbours in one hundred days. Now Gourevitch brings us an intimate exploration of how killers and survivors live together again in the same communities, grappling with seemingly impossible burdens of memory and forgetting, vengefulness and forgiveness. 
 
 A powerful literary reckoning, You Hide That You Hate Me and I Hide That I Know is the culmination of twenty-five years of reporting. The book takes its title from a Rwandan adage that speaks to the uneasy trade-offs that reconciliation demands. Since the genocide, Rwanda has engaged in the most ambitious and sweeping process of accountability ever undertaken. 'Truth Heals' was the slogan. But truth also wounds. And truth is always contested. 
 
 As Gourevitch returns to the same families in one small hillside village, their accounts of killing and surviving inform and enlarge one another, illuminating the ways that we seek, individually and collectively, to negotiate our irreparable pasts. This moving book continuously invites us - as only great writing can - to think, and to think again.

A Very British Bomb is the first authoritative history of Britain as a nuclear weapons power. Written with access to newly declassified Top Secret Government documents it gives the most complete account yet published of the United Kingdom's development, deployment and politics of nuclear weapons, from the scientific breakthroughs which occurred in the early twentieth century, through the Second World War, the Cold War, to the present. It tells the very human story of the tens of thousands of men and women, who spent and continue to spend their lives working on what amounts to one of the most expensive and sensitive national endeavours ever undertaken by the British state.

A Very British Bomb

A History of the United Kingdom as a Nuclear Power

Christienna Fryar

British history has long had a void at its centre. Content to pick up the story of the Caribbean only in the 1940s with the Windrush generation it has no good explanation for the periodic explosions of violent racism against Black and Asian people; it has only the most limited understanding of how Britain became so powerful; and it offers no real analysis of the deep and irreconcilable contradictions at the heart of some of Britain’s ‘core values’. If it is the job of a national history to fully reflect the people who live within the nation, British history has for too long told people of Caribbean heritage that they have no history here.In this compelling new history, Christienna Fryar shows how for the last five hundred years the Caribbean and Britain have shaped each other in profound ways. From the earliest encounters between indigenous societies and English colonists in the 1500s to the citizenship scandal of the last several years, she reveals how the Caribbean has been key to Britain economically, culturally and ideologically: the source of foods Britons eat, the goods in their homes, and what they have imagined in fiction. For centuries, people from the Caribbean have consistently pushed more expansive ideas of freedom into British society, while the way Britain has treated Caribbean people – from enslaved people, through the deeply comprised process of abolition in the nineteenth century, to the elders of the Windrush generation – has long exposed the profound limits of its liberal ideals.Britain’s Caribbean history is not hidden. It’s there for those who want to find it. And to see it, as Christienna Fryar shows, requires looking at Britain differently, asking different questions, and writing national history in different ways.

A Caribbean History of Britain

Steven Klein

Wherever there are workers, there are unions: and we need them now, more than ever. 
 
Whether in formal organisations or grass-roots collectives, people have always found ways to work together for a better world. Today, a historic wave of strikes and union organizing is sweeping the globe &ndash; from teachers to Amazon workers, barristers to actors, train-drivers and doctors alike. Dealing with an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, rising inequality, and rule by some of the richest leaders in history, ordinary people have had enough. And yet many of us have lost the central source of our political power: the union. 
 
Union is the first global philosophy and history of trade unions, which shows how the health of our democracies is the health of our unions. Tracing the idea of unions from the ancient world up through the present &ndash; from ancient Rome and the historic struggles for workers&rsquo; rights in Europe, to the fights for decolonization and against authoritarian regimes in the Global South &ndash; and drawing on political theory, social science and current affairs, it challenges our narrow idea of unions to show how they are crucial, not just to achieve better conditions for their members, but a healthier state of democracy for all of us. 
 
Union shows us that, if we are to save democracy today, we need a new vision: one that puts the organized power of ordinary citizens at the heart of its rebirth.

Hilton Als

Hilton Als grew up in a corner of Brooklyn scarred by riots, racial segregation and sexual prejudice. As a young teenager, he began to glimpse possibility in the different cultures and ways of being he encountered through high school; in the black men and white men who found ways to be together. As a burgeoning writer in a Manhattan pulsing with new culture - with hip hop, Basquiat, nightclubs and new wave - Hilton at last came together with the gay family he had longed for. The timing was not opportune: reports of a 'rare cancer' were beginning to trickle through the press. 
 
Part autobiography, part reportage, part cultural criticism, I Don't Remember weaves the impossible story of queer America in the age of the AIDs crisis. It is an elegy like no other for an unsung generation of gay men: of heroic lovers and friends, visionary makers, artists and creators. By turns lyrical, wry, and exquisite in its poetic, rapid-fire storytelling, it sings a song of the necessity of connection, and the grandness of human endeavor, especially when it comes to loving, and being loved, in the face of social limitations, stigma, and unspeakable tragedy.

The Falklands War is the period of Margaret Thatcher's premiership which still attracts the greatest attention. Mrs. Thatcher's War is a new history of the conflict, not from the military perspective but centrally from hers. The book presents the fullest account to date of the diplomacy before the conflict, the British strategy with Argentina and relationship with American politicians. Chris Collins, the archivist of the Thatcher Foundation with an unsurpassed knowledge of Thatcher's papers, draws on many previously unpublished sources and interviews, including his own conversations with Thatcher in 1992, to create a compelling history of crisis and leadership.

Laure Murat

Proust's In Search of Lost Time is many things. It is a staggering achievement, an evocation of an elite milieu, a literary reckoning with memory; it is also a massive reading challenge, a book more abandoned than read. For Laure Murat - who first read The Search when she was twenty years old - it was a map to the world of the French aristocracy, the very world into which she had been born. The chateaux and balls of The Search were, for her, the backdrop of her family story, understood anew through Proust's eyes. 
 
In this beautiful book, Murat explores the fixity of the aristocratic life, which codifies everything from speech to dress to movement; and Proust's astonishing seven-volume novel, which, with fluidity and linguistic virtuosity, shifts focus from the codes for behaving to the experience of living. In Proust: A Family Affair, Murat celebrates the emancipating power of literature, and the honour of paying close attention to a text that may, in turn, provoke a close and loving attendance to the self.

Proust: A Family Affair

Nicholas Mulder

Expropriation – the forced transfer of property rights – is usually associated with dictators, unstable countries, and violent revolution. But in fact, it has been integral to the political and economic history of the West, enabling everything from the abolition of serfdom and slavery to decolonization, Allied victory in two world wars and the birth of the modern welfare state. For better and for worse, much of our modern world was built through coercive acquisition of property. 
 
In this groundbreaking international history of expropriation, Nicholas Mulder charts a gripping course from the eighteenth century to the present, ranging from the French Revolution to the Russo-Ukrainian War, from colonial companies to railway empires, from sales of church land to oil nationalizations, and from the confiscation of patents to asset freezing in the Eurodollar market. He shows how all kinds of political movements – liberal and nationalist, socialist and fascist, imperialist and anticolonial – both dissolved and redistributed property rights. Successful state-building did not depend on extinguishing the confiscatory state, but on capitalists mastering its powers and redeploying them for their own purposes. 
 
Drawing on a vast range of sources and data across history, politics, and economics, Mulder unfolds a bold revisionist history of how property was made and unmade, transferred and converted, stolen and restored. The Age of Confiscation reveals how much expropriation has been part of our recent past, and how amid rising geopolitical competition, growing inequality, and climate change, it will mark our future.

The food we eat is making us sick. Diet has become the leading cause of illness and premature death, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and other chronic ailments. Advocates of healthier diets pin the blame on overeating, but the bigger issue is what we undereat, the dearth of food that nourishes. Harnessing the power of the right foods can do more than prevent illness; it can treat it, extending life while reducing the crippling cost of ill health. Food Is Medicine shows the way, from transforming our own diets to getting the right foods from our farms, into our stores and onto our plates. 
 
Uniquely positioned on the front-lines of nutrition science, medicine and public policy, Dariush Mozaffarian draws on cutting-edge research to turn complex science into a clear, actionable program to end this health crisis. He reveals the medicinal, healing power of ideal nutrition and introduces the innovators who are pioneering solutions – at the doctor’s office, in supermarkets and in the halls of power. 
 
With clarity and optimism, braiding storytelling, science and practical wisdom, Food Is Medicine lays out a vision for a food system that will restore health, nourishment and equity without sacrificing choice.

Healing Our Bodies, Nourishing Our Minds and Transforming Our Food System

Isabella Weber

As inequality, inflation, and overwhelming corporate power threaten democracy, a rising-star economist asks what it would mean to create an anti-fascist economics that guarantees dignity for all. 
 
On the night of President Trump’s second presidential victory, economist Isabella Weber tweeted: “Can we now finally have a serious conversation about an anti-fascist economics?” In her view, Democrats had missed the seriousness of the affordability crisis in the wake of pandemic-era inflation. By refusing to step in to protect their constituencies against corporate profiteering and price shocks in essentials, they left room amidst the global crisis for the resurgence of the politics of resentment that Trump and the right reveled in. 
 
Her question, though, was a bold one with implications that reached far beyond one election. In a neoliberal world, we tell people at the same time: Democracy is the highest form of political organization. And: When it comes to the economy, to the material foundation of our life, the best the representatives of the people can do is to subordinate their constituencies to the corporate pursuit of profits. This basic contradiction between the rule of the people and the rule of the market makes neoliberal democracy vulnerable to the threat of fascism, she argues. Economists have too often acted as prophets of market subordination and ended up waxing the slippery slope to fascism. Isabella Weber knows that if we are serious about saving democracy and preventing the further rise of fascists, we need an economics that serves democracy and centers people’s needs and dignity rather than seeing their fulfillment as a welcome side effect in the pursuit of other goals. 
 
In Anti-Fascist Economics, Weber proposes just such a way out. She envisions an economics that strives to make life on our planet livable for all, that confronts rather than conceals corporate power, and that charts the way towards international cooperation rather than getting stuck in the dichotomy of free trade and trade wars. To halt the further rise of fascism, we need a tangible alternative to the dystopian status quo, she insists, one that takes affordability seriously as a foundation of democracy. In this paradigm-shifting book, Weber recalls a history of mid-twentieth-century economists for whom “never again” was the North star and reinvents their thinking for our day.

Anti-Fascist Economics

Andrew Roberts

In 1804, immediately after his coronation as Emperor, Napoleon created the Marshalate, the supreme martial rank of the empire. Over the next decade, he elevated to it some of his most outstanding generals, who played leading roles in his extraordinary campaigns – including the brave Ney, the flamboyant Murat, the vain Massena, the iron Davout and the logistics master Berthier. 
 
Some of them were son of aristocrats, others of innkeepers or coopers, but all carried the baton of a Marshal of France. Andrew Roberts masterfully captures their personalities and ambitions, capacities and rivalries. But unlike Lincoln, who forged a team of rivals, Napoleon created a nest of vipers whose lust for glory descended into destructive competitiveness and mutual recrimination. For all his inspiring qualities as a leader, he manipulated and controlled those whose loyalty he most needed to survive, and ultimately only two of them rode beside him at Waterloo. 
 
This dramatic and hugely enjoyable book by one of Britain's most admired historians is by far the fullest account of these brilliant figures and their fiery relationships with their master.
