A Specter Haunting Europe
The Myth of Judeo-Bolshevism
Paul Hanebrink
“As Paul Hanebrink demonstrates in this masterly account, the myth
of Judaeo-Bolshevism rose on a tide of hysteria whipped up by the
chaos in central Europe that marked the end of the Great War.”
—Geoffrey Alderman, Times Higher Education
“A timely reminder of the intellectual tradition deployed by
Republican politicians in the U.S. when they join the loose
coalition of conspiracy theorists across the Atlantic gleefully
demonizing George Soros…A century after the end of the first
world war, we have, it seems, learned very little.”

Revolutionary Constitutions
Charismatic Leadership and the Rule of Law
Bruce Ackerman
Populism is a threat to the democratic world, fuel for
demagogues and reactionary crowds—or so its critics
would have us believe. But in his award-winning trilogy
We the People, Bruce Ackerman showed that Americans
have repeatedly rejected this view. Now he draws on a
quarter century of scholarship in this essential and
surprising inquiry into the origins, successes, and threats
to revolutionary constitutionalism around the world.

The Age of Addiction
How Bad Habits Became Big Business
David T. Courtwright
The Age of Addiction is a provocative, singularly authoritative
history of how sophisticated global businesses have targeted the
human brain’s reward centers, driving us to addictions ranging
from oxycodone to Big Macs to Assassin’s Creed to Snapchat—with
alarming social consequences. David Courtwright chronicles the
triumph of “limbic capitalism,” the growing network of competitive
businesses targeting the brain pathways responsible for feeling,
motivation, and long-term memory.

Why They Marched
Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought
for the Right to Vote
Susan Ware
Why They Marched is the inspiring story of the dedicated
women—and occasionally men—who carried the banner
in communities across the nation, out of the spotlight,
protesting, petitioning, and demonstrating for the right
to become full citizens. Ware’s moving personal narratives
provide a surprisingly comprehensive account of one of
the most significant and wide-ranging moments of political
mobilization in all of American history.

“What does Wilentz know that others have gotten so terribly wrong
about the founding connection between slavery and racism? In his
revealing and passionately argued book, he insists that because
the framers did not sanction slavery as a matter of principle, the
antislavery legacy of the Constitution has been ‘slighted’ and
‘misconstrued’ for over 200 years.”

“The greatest innovation of the American Revolution was the idea
of a written constitution as supreme fundamental law. But another
truly significant development immediately followed the ratification
of the Constitution: the equally innovative but deeply controver-
sial invention of modes of constitutional interpretation. Jonathan
Gienapp explores how this process unfolded, brilliantly explaining
the search for the original meaning of the Constitution.”

The Calculus of Violence
How Americans Fought the Civil War
Aaron Sheehan-Dean
“Sweeping and yet also delicately measured, this book
promises to resolve longstanding debates about the nature
of the Civil War. With its publication, we should be able to
put aside old debates about total war or hard war and instead
seek to understand the forces that produced a war that could
at once seem hard and soft, unbridled and constrained.
A work of deep intellectual seriousness.”

Fighting and Surviving the American Civil War
Stephanie McCurry
“Stephanie McCurry challenges us once again to look at
the Civil War through a different lens. She demonstrates
how women’s participation changed not only their lives
but the very understanding of war itself—its laws, its
mechanisms of violence, its legacies and aftermath. In
this brilliant exposition of the politics of the seemingly
personal, McCurry illuminates previously unrecognized
dimensions of the war’s elemental impact.”

Facing History
Ezra F. Vogel
Ezra F. Vogel, one of the world’s most eminent scholars
of East Asia, reveals the important touchstones in the long
history between China and Japan. He argues that for the sake
of a stable world order, these two Asian giants must reset
their relationship, starting with their common interests in
environmental protection, disaster relief, global economic
development, and scientific research.

Japan in the American Century
Kenneth B. Pyle
“This is a fine book, intelligent and necessary. Pyle writes in
a subtle and supple way, with an unerring sense of balance.
His careful linking of the unconditional surrender demand by
the U.S. to the character of the Japanese postwar settlement
is fresh and provocative. I hope those who make American
policy toward Japan read what he has to say.”

Japan Rearmed
The Politics of Military Power
Sheila A. Smith
Japan’s United States–imposed postwar constitution
renounced the use of offensive military force. In Japan
Rearmed Sheila Smith argues that Japan is not only
responding to increasing threats from North Korean missiles
and Chinese maritime activities but also reevaluating its
dependence on the United States. No longer convinced that
they can rely on Americans to defend Japan, Tokyo’s political
leaders are now confronting the possibility that they may need
to prepare the nation’s military for war.
