In 1848, two young men published what would become one of the defining documents of modern history, The Communist Manifesto. It rapidly realigned political faultlines all over the world and its aftershock resonates to this day. In the many years since its publication, no other social program has inspired such divisive and violent debate. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world s first regime to adopt the Manifesto s tenets, historians have debated its intent and its impact. In the current era of market democracy in Russia and Eastern Europe, nationalism on every continent, and an ever tightening global economy, does the specter of Communism still haunt the world? Were the seeds of Communism s ultimate destruction already planted in 1848? Is there anything to be learned from Marx s envisioned uia? 《共产党宣言》,是马克思和恩格斯为共产主义者同盟(Communist League)起草的纲领,在这个纲领性文献中,阐述了矛盾对人类历史的影
Barack Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, was a compelling and moving memoir focusing on personal issues of race, identity, and community. With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a "political process that is broken" and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people. We had the opportunity to ask Senator Obama a few questions about writing, reading, and politics, see his responses below. --Daphne Durham

Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the cataclysm thatswept the world remains the definitive history of the Second WorldWar. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable both for its breadth and sweep andfor its sense of personal involvement, it is universallyacknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring,compelling work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize forliterature. The Grand Alliance recounts the momentous events of1941 surrounding America's entry into the War and Hitler's march onRussia the continuing onslaught on British civilians during theBlitz, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the alliance betweenBritain and America that shaped the outcome of the War.
For the last sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, "a legacy of ashes." Now Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tim Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIA-and everything is on the record. LEGACY OF ASHES is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central Intelligence. It takes the CIA from its creation after World War II, through its battles in the cold war and the war on terror, to its near-collapse after 9/ll. Tim Weiner's past work on the CIA and American intelligence was hailed as "impressively reported" and "immensely entertaining" in The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal called it "truly extr
In July 1917, when the Provisional Government issued a warrantfor his arrest, Lenin fled from Petrograd; later that year, theOctober Revolution swept him to supreme power. In the shortintervening period he spent in Finland, he wrote his impassioned,never-completed masterwork "The State and Revolution". Thispowerfully argued book offers both the rationale for the new regimeand a wealth of insights into Leninist politics. It was here thatLenin justified his personal interpretation of Marxism, savaged hisopponents and set out his trenchant views on class conflict, thelessons of earlier revolutions, the dismantling of the bourgeoisstate and the replacement of capitalism by the dictatorship of theproletariat. As both historical document and political statement,its importance can hardly be exaggerated. This title is translatedand edited with an introduction by Robert Service.
?“Alone among American Presidents, it is possible to imagineLincoln, grown up in a different milieu, becoming a distinguishedwriter of a not merely political kind.?” --Edmund Wilson Ranging from finely honed legal argument to wry and somesometimes savage humor to private correspondence and politicalrhetoric of unsurpassed grandeur, the writings collected in thisvolume are at once a literary testament of the greatest writer everto occupy the White House and a documentary history of America inAbraham Lincoln?’s time.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Senator Obama called “the audacity of hope.” Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics–a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces–from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media–that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating hu
