- The rebel and the kingdom : the true story of the secret mission to overthrow the North Korean regime / by Hope, Bradley,author.;
Prologue: The break-in -- A ready-made life -- The present is no different -- Across the Tumen River -- Shenyang six -- Bull in a china shop -- The pegasus project -- Horreya -- Above ground, below ground -- Blueprints -- Pruning the family tree -- Face-to-face -- The Italian job -- I'll be gone a while -- Anatomy of a fake kidnapping -- Long live the great successor -- Somebody please call the FBI -- Jailhouse kimchi -- On the run -- Epilogue: The price."A gripping account of an Ivy League activist-turned-fugitive and his clandestine effort to subvert the North Korean regime, a heart-pounding tale of a self-taught operative and his high-stakes attempt to change the world. In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety. Meanwhile, Hong's secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government's activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong Un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong Nam, the dictator's older brother, Hong, along with Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Nam's family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid--an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world's most unlikely fugitives. In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo--to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope--who broke numerous details of Hong's operations in The Wall Street Journal--now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world's most mysterious and unsettling nation"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Hong, Adrian.; Asian American political activists; Human rights workers; Human rights; Human rights.;

During his sixty-year career, he fundamentally rethought architectural types that shaped modern life, including the office building, apartment building, and private home. True to his alleged dictum "less is more," Mies van der Rohe's style is characterized by utmost simplicity, elegance of materials, and radical formal and functional innovation, as exemplified by such iconic projects as the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, and the Seagram Building in New York. In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary context--social, political, and architectural--for understanding the architect's life and work. The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies's designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics' responses and the work of Mies's collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and covering the entirety of Mies's career, this ambitious book is the most substantial account to date of the life and work of one of the most important architects of the twentieth century." -- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Illustrated works.; Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig, 1886-1969; Architecture, Modern; Architects; Architects;

- Atomic steppe : how Kazakhstan gave up the bomb / by Kassenova, Togzhan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The steppe -- Forty years of nuclear tests -- The human toll -- The nation rises -- The swan song of the Soviet Union -- Fears in Washington and Alma-Ata -- A temporary nuclear power -- The final push -- Project Sapphire and the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program -- Farewell to bombs -- Epilogue : reimagining the atomic steppe."Atomic Steppe tells the untold true story of how the obscure country of Kazakhstan said no to the most powerful weapons in human history. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the marginalized Central Asian republic suddenly found itself with the world's fourth largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. Would it give up these fire-ready weapons--or try to become a Central Asian North Korea? This book takes us inside Kazakhstan's extraordinary and little-known nuclear history from the Soviet period to the present. For Soviet officials, Kazakhstan's steppe was not an ecological marvel or beloved homeland, but an empty patch of dirt ideal for nuclear testing. Two-headed lambs were just the beginning of the resulting public health disaster for Kazakhstan--compounded, when the Soviet Union collapsed, by the daunting burden of becoming an overnight nuclear power. Equipped with intimate personal perspective and untapped archival resources, Togzhan Kassenova introduces us to the engineers turned diplomats, villagers turned activists, and scientists turned pacifists who worked toward disarmament. With thousands of nuclear weapons still present around the world, the story of how Kazakhs gave up their nuclear inheritance holds urgent lessons for global security"--- Subjects: Nuclear disarmament; Nuclear weapons; Nuclear weapons; Nuclear weapons;
