Discover the truth about the last king of America, George III, in this fascinating and nuanced book. Historian Andrew Roberts combed through never-before-published correspondence to uncover the wise, humane, and enlightened monarch that history has forgotten. Despite popular belief, George III was not a buffoon, but was beset by talented enemies, debilitating mental illness, incompetent ministers, and disastrous luck. The Last King of America offers a new perspective on his reign and legacy, making readers and historians question their previous assumptions.

Preparing for the Inevitable
Why COVID-19 Crushed Us and How We Can Defeat the Next Pandemic
Scott Gottlieb - 2021-09-21
Goodreads Rating
"Preparing for the Inevitable" is an essential guide to how the US can prepare for future pandemics by learning from the mistakes made during the Covid-19 outbreak. Based on his experience as former FDA commissioner, Scott Gottlieb identifies key factors that hindered the US response to the pandemic, such as outdated plans and tools, lack of private sector involvement in manufacturing, and downplaying the threat. Gottlieb warns that without corrective action, the virus will continue to spread, impacting both public health and the distribution of a vaccine. "Preparing for the Inevitable" is a hard-hitting and informative inside account of a preventable failure in American history.

The Origins of Our Discontents
Isabel Wilkerson - 2020-08-04
Goodreads Rating
Explore the hidden caste system that has shaped America through this immersive and deeply researched narrative by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Warmth of Other Suns. In Caste, Isabel Wilkerson examines the power hierarchy that defines our lives today, beyond race, class, or other factors. Through real stories about people like Martin Luther King Jr. and baseball's Satchel Paige, she uncovers the eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations. Wilkerson also links the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, showcasing how the cruel logic of caste requires a bottom rung to measure against. This eye-opening read offers hope in moving beyond these artificial and destructive separations in pursuit of our common humanity.
