Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Operation Protective Edge, launched in early July 2014, was the third major Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip in six years. It was also the most deadly. By the conclusion of hostilities some seven weeks later, 2,200 of Gaza's population had been killed, and more than 10,000 injured. In this book, journalist Mohammed Omer, a resident of Gaza who lived through the terror of those days with his wife and then three-month-old son, provides a first-hand account of life on-the-ground during Israel's assault.

Excellent journalism. Mohammed Omer’s work on Operation Protective Edge is right up there amongst the best, such as The 51 Day War, by Max Blumenthal, and Gaza: An Inquest Into Its Martyrdom, by Norman Finkelstein.

Andrei Lankov has gone where few outsiders have ever been. A native of the former Soviet Union, he lived as an exchange student in North Korea in the 1980s. He has studied it for his entire career, using his fluency in Korean and personal contacts to build a rich, nuanced understanding. In The Real North Korea, Lankov substitutes cold, clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state.

A god awful hodge podge of falsified history and interventionist discourse. The worst book I’ve read about Korea.

Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

The Talmud says: “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.” This instinct to take every measure, even the most aggressive, to defend the Jewish people is hardwired into Israel’s DNA. From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, protecting the nation from harm has been the responsibility of its intelligence community and armed services, and there is one weapon in their vast arsenal that they have relied upon to thwart the most serious threats: Targeted assassinations have been used countless times, on enemies large and small....

The book is Zionist propaganda
Revisado: 04-14-24
This book is the story of “Israel” straight from the mouth of a propagandist for settler-colonialism. The most enraging aspect is that it pretends to be critical of Israel. Avoid.

Early in life, Walter Rodney became a major revolutionary figure in a dizzying range of locales that traversed the breadth of the Black diaspora. He was not only a witness of a Pan-African and socialist internationalism, but a prime actor in mass organization, catalyzing rebellious ferment, and theorizing an anti-colonial path to self-emancipation. This volume demonstrates the unbending consistency that unites his life and work: the ongoing reinvention of living conception of Marxism, and a respect for the still untapped potential of mass self-rule.

In this ambitious work, Cedric Robinson demonstrates that efforts to understand Black people's history of resistance solely through the prism of Marxist theory are incomplete and inaccurate. Marxist analyses tend to presuppose European models of history and experience that downplay the significance of Black people and Black communities as agents of change and resistance. Black radicalism, Robinson argues, must be linked to the traditions of Africa and the unique experiences of Blacks on Western continents, and any analyses of African American history need to acknowledge this.

Didn’t Care For It
Revisado: 03-23-24
It’s worth reading, for those who have already read up on and are committed to the ideas he argues against, but toxic for those who haven’t. About 1/3 of the book, I listened intently and either reviewed material I’ve heard from other authors, or learned new material, 1/3 of the book I shook my head, in strong disagreement, and 1/3 I nodded in agreement. Not saying my opinion matters, but this guy isn’t a Marxist-Leninist, ML doesn’t guide his thought, though it does influence it. The gist of the book is an attempt at disregarding Marxist-Leninists in favor of a bizarre racial chauvinist non-Marxian dialectic. Then the next page, he writes about modes of production and social movements like Walter Rodney. That, he isn’t, however, and though he himself spells out what readers of Marxist orient will think of this book, he doesn’t escape the guilty verdict, as a bourgeois racial chauvinist.
The book is divisive, as though Marxism and ML and MLM and Trotskyism, etc aren’t divided enough! Avoid until you read Rodney, Fanon, Prashad, Parenti, Lenin, Marx/Engels, etc.

Opening with a panorama of Russian society, from the cloistered world of the Tsar to the brutal life of the peasants, A People’s Tragedy follows workers, soldiers, intellectuals and villagers as their world is consumed by revolution and then degenerates into violence and dictatorship. Drawing on vast original research, Figes conveys above all the shocking experience of the revolution for those who lived it, while providing the clearest and most cogent account of how and why it unfolded.

The Russian Revolution had a decisive impact on the history of the 20th century. In the years following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the opening of its archives, it has become possible to step back and see the full picture. Starting with an overview of the roots of the revolution, Fitzpatrick takes the story from 1917, through Stalin's "revolution from above", to the great purges of the 1930s.

For me, this is a useful book, as a general review of material, but its analysis is embarrassingly bourgeoisie and oftentimes simply repeats old western falsehoods.
