History

In The Arabs and the Holocaust, Gilbert Achcar dismantles the monolithic stereotypes often applied to the Arab world's perception of the Shoah. Drawing on deep historical research, the book examines the distinct political and intellectual currents in the Middle East—ranging from liberal to Islamist—and analyzes how these groups historically responded to Nazism, Zionism, and the establishment of Israel. Achcar offers a nuanced, perceptive study of the competing narratives that continue to shape the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today.

Acclaimed historian Michael Burleigh examines assassination as a special category of political violence and asks whether, like a contagious disease, it can be catching. Focusing chiefly on the last century and a half, Burleigh takes readers from Europe, Russia, Israel and the United States to the Congo, India, Iran, Laos, Rwanda, South Africa and Vietnam. And, as we travel, we revisit notable assassinations, among them Leon Trotsky, Hendrik Verwoerd, Juvénal Habyarimana, Indira Gandhi, Yitzhak Rabin and Jamal Khashoggi.

In Rogue States, renowned political analyst Noam Chomsky offers a blistering critique of American foreign policy and the hypocrisy of the "rogue state" label. By holding the United States accountable to the international laws it claims to uphold, Chomsky exposes a pattern of military dominance and economic imperialism across regions like the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Through detailed analyses of interventions in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor, and Colombia, he reveals how the U.S. frequently undermines the United Nations and human rights declarations, ultimately arguing that the nation has evolved into the very "rogue state" it purports to condemn.
