Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 50
Two decades into the twenty-first century, the stagnation of living standards has become the defining trend of American life. Life expectancy has declined, economic inequality has soared, and, after some progress, the Black-white wage gap is once again as large as it was in the 1950s. How did this happen in the world’s most powerful country? And what happened to the “American dream”—the promise of a happier, healthier, more prosperous future—which was once such an inextricable part of our national identity?

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 123
In this book Satter tells the story of the apartment bombings and how Boris Yeltsin presided over the criminalization of Russia, why Vladimir Putin was chosen as his sucessor, and how Putin has suppressed all opposition while retaining the appearance of a pluralist state. As the threat represented by Russia becomes increasingly clear, Satter's description of where Russia is and how it got there will be of vital interest to anyone concerned about the dangers facing the world today.

Reality of modern Russia
Revisado: 03-28-24
Putin’s Russia is a criminal hydro carbon kleptocracy. Capitalism is no insurance of democracy. The FSB, Russian mafia, Putin’s politicians and oligarchs comprise an evil empire that will not stop after Ukraine. A mob state with nuclear weapons.

From former head of Obamacare Andy Slavitt, Preventable is the definitive inside account of the United States' failed response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Slavitt chronicles what he saw and how much could have been prevented - an unflinching investigation of the cultural, political, and economic drivers that led to unnecessary loss of life.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 70
From the palaces of the Habsburg Empire to the torture chambers of Stalin's Soviet Union, the extraordinary story of a life suspended between the collapse of the imperial order and the violent emergence of modern Europe. Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress.

Dr Snyder is a National treasure
Revisado: 10-19-20
The case for health care reform couldn’t be clearer thanks to thoughtful analysis of the facts, experiences, and comparative review of the competitive systems by Dr. Snyder. In US, we pay far more for quite less than other countries. Equal access to the best health care should be an organizing principle of our political leaders. Thank you Dr Snyder!

The Man Without a Face is the chilling account of how a low-level, small-minded KGB operative ascended to the Russian presidency and, in an astonishingly short time, destroyed years of progress, making his country once more a threat to her own people and to the world.

Revisado: 02-26-19
This is a great read. Informative of what is really going on in Putin’s Russia from the 90s to 2017. What’s more informative is Masha’s biography of Putin’s family story, his childhood, education and time in the KGB. Great read.

A former FBI Special Agent, US Army officer, and leading cyber-security expert offers a devastating and essential look at the misinformation campaigns that have become the cutting edge of modern warfare - and how we can protect ourselves against them. Clint Watts electrified the nation when he testified regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. In Messing with the Enemy, the counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and homeland security expert introduces us to a frightening world in which terrorists and cyber criminals don’t hack your computer, they hack your mind.

Great read! Brings awareness to our collective as well as individual vulnerabilities of soc media consumption. Are destined to continue in our preferences bubbles or can we defend ourselves and western democracy from outside propaganda and misinformation?
