This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together 18 essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with 36 poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance.

In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

We are facing an overwhelming army of deadly, invisible enemies. We need a plan - before it's too late. Unlike natural disasters, whose destruction is concentrated in a limited area over a period of days, and illnesses, which have devastating effects but are limited to individuals and their families, infectious disease has the terrifying power to disrupt everyday life on a global scale, overwhelming public and private resources and bringing trade and transportation to a grinding halt.

In this definitive history of the modern Arab world, award-winning historian Eugene Rogan draws extensively on Arab sources and texts to place the Arab experience in its crucial historical context for the first time. Tracing five centuries of Arab history, Rogan reveals that there was an age when the Arabs set the rules for the rest of the world. Today, however, the Arab world's sense of subjection to external powers carries vast consequences for both the region and Westerners who attempt to control it.

Story
The term Mexican Drug War misleads. It implies that the ongoing bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention from the US role in creating and sustaining the carnage. It's not just that Americans buy drugs from and sell weapons to Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever since the US prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its border enforcer - with increasingly deadly consequences.

In the winter of 1918, at the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in 24 weeks than AIDS has killed in 24 years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision between modern science and epidemic disease.

Publisher's Summary
If you’ve been hearing a lot about the Spanish flu lately, wondered how it compares with the current pandemic, how it infected people, the numbers, its spread, what steps people took to deal with it, how they "flattened the curve" and how it stopped being a problem to the masses, keep reading....
You are about to learn everything there is to know about the Spanish flu, from how it started to how the pandemic ended and everything in between, including how it left over 50 million people dead and changed the world!
Imagine a scenario where some of your healthiest friends around you suddenly start exhibiting symptoms of a very severe form of pneumonia, followed by desperate struggles to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that’s also gushing from their eyes and mouth (within hours of developing the flu) and soon after, clueless doctors watch them suffocate to death....
That’s what some survivors were reporting, and believe me, it was worse than it sounds here. That was typical of the 1918 Spanish flu, which has been considered the deadliest global pandemic in modern history, with a death count of over 50 million people and 500 million infections! And it spared nobody - even the then King of Spain Alfonso XIII succumbed to the great Spanish flu!
But what exactly was this flu?
How did the virus start? Was it as bad as it is postulated?
How did it spread?
How did it end?
Could we experience such as pandemic again?
How can we best prepare ourselves for such a pandemic?
If you have these and other related questions, this book is for you so keep reading. This book is here to cut through the many fabrications and half-truths about the Spanish flu and its impact, and clear the air about the nature of world pandemics in reference to this deadly one that shook the world. It will also show you how we’ve been responding to influenza pandemics, and what the future holds as regards to our vulnerability, preparedness, and ability to overcome deadly pandemics.
Here is a bit of what you’ll find in this book:
- The nature of the disease
- Why it was known as the Spanish flu
- What the symptoms of the flu were
- How the Spanish flu was related to the First World War
- Why the virus killed many healthy adults
- How the Spanish flu ended
- The past, present and future challenges of influenza pandemics
- How the world can be better prepared for the next pandemic
- The future of fighting flu
And so much more!
If you think you’ve heard or seen the worst of outbreaks or pandemics, you’re about to have your brain re-tuned as you flick through the numbers and details in this beginners’ book about the “La Grippe” that changed the world.
Even if you’ve not been a fan of pandemics, the fact that there is an ongoing pandemic makes you an interested party (by default) on the Spanish flu!
And this book won’t disappoint, as it will teach you everything about the pandemic in simple language to help you have a better understanding of what really transpired in 1918!

Really disappointing.
Had to give up as the narrator was constantly struggling with reading the text. technical words were mispronounced and he hesitated frequently during sentences.
Really bad narrative.
