The burning Earth : a history / by Amrith, Sunil S.,1979-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 355-394) and index."In this magisterial book, historian Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of an extraordinary expansion of human freedom and its planetary costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Portuguese silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railroads and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against stubborn nature. Amrith's account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. So too does this book reveal the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm.The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates in gorgeous prose, and on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic--vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images--in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself"--

Punishing Putin : inside the global economic war to bring down Russia / by Baker, Stephanie,1967-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-335) and index.Part I the economic war begins -- Prologue we are coming for your superyacht -- Attacking fortress Russia -- Hunting Russian kleptocrats -- Part II from oligarchs to the rise of Putin -- Democracy derailed -- Putin's calculus -- Oligarchs in America -- Part III loopholes, divestments, and their discontents -- Microchip monte -- Corporate hostages -- How to sell a soccer club -- Part IV follow the money and the oil . . . If you can -- Cyprus: the Trojan horse -- A glittering Moscow-on-the-gulf -- Capping Putin's war premium -- Part V waiting for the end game -- Freezing Londongrad -- Will Russia pay? -- Epilogue end game."Undeterred by eight years of timid US sanctions, Vladimir Putin ordered his full-scale assault on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In the hours that followed across the world, Western leaders weaponized economic tools to counter an unprecedented land grab by a nuclear-armed power. What followed was an undeniably world-changing financial experiment that risked throwing the world into a devastating recession. The end goal was simple: to sap the strength of Putin's war machine and damage the Russian economy-once the eleventh largest on the planet. Here, Russian expert and veteran journalist Stephanie Baker explains in fascinating detail how this furious shadow-war unfolded: its causes, how it is being executed, and its ability to affect Russia and the course of history. From seizing superyachts to manipulating the global price of oil to trying to block the sale of military technology to Russia, we learn how the White House coordinated with top officials in London and Brussels to freeze a staggering $300 billion in foreign currency reserves accumulated in the West by Russia's central bank. Mobilizing an army of white collar-crime investigators and experts on international law, Baker explores how the West has cracked down on illicit Russian money by targeting oligarchs, one superyacht at a time, and their enablers around the world. Filled with propulsive, fly-on-the-wall details, Punishing Putin takes us into the frantic backroom deliberations that led to a whole new era of carefully calculated "economic statecraft" and shows how these new strategies are already radically rearranging global alliances that will influence the world order today, and for generations to come"--

Need to know [large print] : World War II and the rise of American intelligence / by Reynolds, Nicholas(Nicholas E.),author.(CARDINAL)212264;
Includes bibliographical references.Friends in Desperate Need -- The British Come Calling -- Gentleman Headhunters Make a Placement -- J. Edgar Hoover -- The Oil Slick Principle -- Spying or Riding to the Sound of the Guns? -- Army Cipher Brains -- More Wall Street Lawyers -- Navy Cipher Brains -- Reorganizing Naval Intelligence -- Army and Navy Codebreakers in Washington -- Jeeping into Action -- Traveling the World -- The OSS, the NKVD, and the FBI -- Breaking Codes, Forging Links -- Admiral Dönitz's Unintended Contribution to Allied Victory -- Intelligence and the Main Event -- A Dream Come True -- Allen Dulles's Nearly Private War -- When Doing "Swell Work" Wasn't Enough -- An End and a Beginning -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments --Abbreviations -- Principal Primary Sources -- Notes -- Select Bibliography of Books and Articles."The entire vast, modern American intelligence system--the amalgam of three-letter spy services of many stripes--can be traced back to the dire straits the world faced at the dawn of World War II. Prior to 1940, the United States had no organization to recruit spies and steal secrets or launch covert campaigns against enemies overseas and just a few codebreakers, isolated in windowless vaults. It was only through Winston Churchill's determination to mobilize the US in the fight against Hitler that the first American spy service was born, built from scratch against the background of the Second World War. In Need to Know, Nicholas Reynolds explores the birth, infancy, and adolescence of modern American intelligence. In this first-ever look across the entirety of the war effort, Reynolds combines little-known history and gripping spy stories to analyze the origins of American codebreakers and spies as well as their contributions to Allied victory, revealing how they laid the foundation for the Cold War--and beyond." --
