Story
Two weeks before the U.S. entered World War I, a Chicago advertising executive visited the Department of Justice with a proposal - organize the country’s businessmen into a secret force of volunteer agents to ferret out and investigate enemy activities within the United States. The country, overcome by a wave of patriotic fervor, had also become gripped with fear and uncertainty of the influx of immigrants from the very countries with which the country was now at war.

Story
Interventions, by Noam Chomsky, is getting new press after the Pentagon banned the book from Guantanamo Bay's prison library. Interventions is Noam Chomsky at his best. Not since his all-time best-selling title, 9/11, published in the Open Media series in 2001, have readers and listeners had a timely, short, affordable Chomsky. Unlike 9/11, Interventions is a writerly work - a series of more than 30 tightly argued essays aimed at various aspects of U.S. power and politics in the post-9/11 world. While critical of U.S. military interventions around the globe, each piece in the book is in itself an intellectual intervention.

In Losing the News, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex S. Jones offers a probing look at the epochal changes sweeping the media, changes which are eroding the core news that has been the essential food supply of our democracy. Losing the News depicts an unsettling situation in which the American birthright of fact-based, reported news is in danger. But it is also a call to arms to fight to keep the core of news intact.

Story
In the decade since 9/11, the United States has grown weaker: It has been bogged down by costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has spent billions of dollars on security to protect air travel and other transport, as well as the homeland more generally. Much of this money has been channeled into efforts that are inefficient by design and highly bureaucratic, a lack of coordination between and among the government, and an array of contractors making it difficult to evaluate the return on the enormous investment that we have made in national security.

More than 40 years after President Johnson signed the landmark Fair Housing Act into law, residential segregation in America remains unresolved. Designed to help dismantle the nation’s racially divided housing patterns, the act has gone largely ignored by every presidential administration - Democrat and Republican alike - since 1968. In Living Apart, ProPublica investigates this failing.

Like a scene from Where Eagles Dare, a small team of American spies parachutes into Italy behind enemy lines. Their orders: link up with local partisans and sabotage the well-guarded Brenner Pass - the Nazis' crucial supply route through the Alps - thereby bringing the German war effort in Italy to a grinding halt.

Our Bodies, Whose Property

Story
No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies.

With telling anecdote and detail, Pulitzer Prize-winner David K. Shipler explores the territory where the Constitution meets everyday America, where legal compromises - before and since 9/11 - have undermined the criminal justice system’s fairness, enhanced the executive branch’s power over citizens and immigrants, and impaired some of the freewheeling debate and protest essential in a constitutional democracy.

Story
Published to commemorate the bicentennial of Thomas Paine's death, these texts have remained two of the most influential arguments for liberty in political thought. Common Sense is a pamphlet that Paine wrote in support of American independence. Thanks to its original and simple style, it spread like wildfire through the colonies, helping to inspire the American Revolution. Rights of Man is Paine's passionate defence of the French Revolution that led to his trial for sedition and libel.

Americans are losing the freedom to make sense of daily choices - teachers can't maintain order in the classroom, managers are trained to avoid candor, schools ban tag, and companies plaster inane warnings on everything: "Remove Baby Before Folding Stroller". Philip K. Howard’s urgent argument is full of examples, often darkly humorous. What’s at stake, Howard explains in this seminal book, is the vitality of American culture.

Per Papa Francesco, Eva è stata vittima di una fake news uscita dalla bocca del serpente. A quanto pare, da allora le bufale non hanno smesso di rovinare le donne, visto che ancora oggi se una ha subito molestie si scrive che ci ha fatto carriera, mentre se uno ammazza la moglie per i giornali ha agito in preda a una rabbia momentanea. Ma le vittime di questi abusi dell'informazione non sono solo i corpi delle donne: quando si parla di migranti la verità si inabissa in fondo al mare, come un cadavere affogato.

L'autore firma questo diario di viaggio che è al tempo stesso una testimonianza della guerra che ha portato alla disfatta dei talebani, la conquista della capitale da parte dell'Alleanza del nord e la "liberazione" di Kabul.

I primissimi articoli della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani e della Convenzione Europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali sono chiarissimi: nessuno può essere ridotto in schiavitù, nessuno può essere sottoposto a tortura, a trattamenti inumani e degradanti. Nessuno. Abbiamo creato un sistema di garanzia dei diritti umani per evitare che l'orrore si ripetesse e l'abbiamo fatto dopo averlo visto con i nostri occhi di occidentali, l'orrore. Abbiamo però evitato di dire che i diritti, come gli occhi, erano occidentali.

Trentacinque anni non sono bastati per far luce sul caso Moro. Inchieste giudiziarie e parlamentari, saggi, articoli e film non sono serviti a illuminare tutte le zone d'ombra del delitto che - forse più di ogni altro nella nostra storia repubblicana - ha colpito la coscienza del Paese e incrinato il rapporto tra società civile e mondo politico. Ecco perché vale ancora la pena di analizzare la dinamica dei 55 giorni di prigionia di Aldo Moro, nel tentativo finalmente di dare delle risposte diverse dalla versione ufficiale dei fatti.

Gli attacchi terroristici che negli ultimi anni hanno portato la paura in Occidente (e non solo) ci obbligano a convivere con una violenza spesso difficile da comprendere. Le televisioni e i giornali ci inondano di immagini traumatiche, la morte è diventata una notizia quotidiana, distribuita alla cieca tra gente comune: allo stadio, nei teatri, al bar, in aeroporto. Un'intera generazione sta crescendo con il timore di non essere al sicuro, e con molte domande che non trovano risposta. Come aiutare i nostri figli a liberarsi dalla paura?
