Historia
Fields, Factories, and Workshops (1898) was one of Kropotkin's three most important texts (along with The Conquest of Bread and Mutual Aid - also available on Ukemi Audiobooks). Its subtitle - Industry Combined with Agriculture and Brain Work with Manual Work - indicates that although he starts from a Marxist standpoint, concerned with the exploitation of the wage-labourer and the inequality suffered by the majority of the social classes, he was equally concerned with the 'human needs of the individual’.

Enlightening anarchist text
Revisado: 08-22-22
Compared to Kropotkin’s other work, I was underwhelmed by the first few essays of this book. Although they were still interesting. The last two essays were excellent however. I would argue the last essays “Brain Work and Manual Work” is one of the most important in the history of anarchist theory.

Historia
Among the men and women prominent in the public life of early 20th-century America there are but few whose names are mentioned as often as that of Emma Goldman. Yet the real Emma Goldman is almost quite unknown. Here are powerful, penetrating, prophetic essays on direct action, the role of minorities, prison reform, puritan hypocrisy, and violence.

Enlightening

Amazing how relevant Goldman’s essays written so long ago are today. Definitely recommend this book to those on both sides of the political spectrum. Even if you do not agree with everything, challenge yourself to understand the important issues described in this book.

Historia
James Anderson critically reinterprets the history of southern Black education from Reconstruction to the Great Depression. By placing Black schooling within a political, cultural, and economic context, he offers fresh insights into Black commitment to education, the peculiar significance of Tuskegee Institute, and the conflicting goals of various philanthropic groups, among other matters.

Historia
Margaret MacMillan looks at the ways in which war has influenced human society and how, in turn, changes in political organization, technology, or ideologies have affected how and why we fight. War: How Conflict Shaped Us explores such much-debated and controversial questions as: When did war first start? Does human nature doom us to fight one another? Why has war been described as the most organized of all human activities? Why are warriors almost always men? Is war ever within our control?

Historia
During the 19th century, the United States entered the ranks of the world's most advanced and dynamic economies. At the same time, the nation sustained an expansive and brutal system of human bondage. This was no mere coincidence. Slavery's Capitalism argues for slavery's centrality to the emergence of American capitalism in the decades between the Revolution and the Civil War.

Interesting read
Revisado: 01-28-21
Amazing book which introduces many concepts, fundamental to American history, that few people are aware of.
There were a few chapters somewhere in the middle of the book about financing that were a bit to statistics focused in my opinion.
Overall, definitely a book that I will come back to for future research.

Historia
From the end of World War II until 1980, virtually no American soldiers were killed in action while serving in the Greater Middle East. Since 1990, virtually no American soldiers have been killed in action anywhere else. What caused this shift? Andrew J. Bacevich, one of the country's most respected voices on foreign affairs, offers an incisive critical history of this ongoing military enterprise - now more than 30 years old and with no end in sight.

Everyone should read this book
Revisado: 12-13-20
Today, the majority of Americans have lived much of, if not all of their life with their country engaged in military conflict in the Middle East. This permanent state of war has become so normalized, that most people do not know much about these decades-old foreign policies. You could write an entire book about every chapter of this book, however, the author does a brilliant job of stringing together the complexity of America’s wars for the greater Middle East into an enjoyable and easy to read book.

Historia
Today when you factor in the interest on the national debt from past wars and total defense expenditures the United States spends almost 40% of its federal budget on the military. It accounts for over 46% of total world arms spending. Before World War II it spent almost nothing on defense and hardly anyone paid any income taxes. You can't have big wars without big government. Such big expenditures are now threatening to harm the national economy.

Important book
Revisado: 12-01-20
Very important topics covered in this book. I enjoyed the first half of the book more than the second half. I felt that the book was overly focused on the Cuban Missile Crisis. There is so much more to understanding the history of the military industrial complex. With that said, the author’s analog the Cuban Missile Crisis was excellent! Nonetheless very important topic.
