@eb454 @SarahBurris @wes_chu There’s an book that addresses this very question, called “Constitutional Cliffhangers” by an actual legal scholar named Brian Kalt. Have you read it? Or are you basing your argument on your Twitter law degree?      источник
Malevolent Republic book cover
Malevolent Republic
A Short History of the New India
K. S. Komireddi - 2019-05-30
Рейтинг Goodreads
A thought-provoking analysis of post-Independence India from Nehru to Modi, Malevolent Republic by K.S. Komireddi charts the unsound course of Indian nationalism and its impact on the country divided by language, religion, and ethnicity. The book is an impassioned plea for India's reclamation, highlighting the dangers of Hindu-supremacist and religious majoritarianism which threaten to devour India's hard-won unity. Through an insightful and independent perspective, Malevolent Republic provides a deep understanding of the modern Indian nation and its place in global affairs.

I learned about Arman Goswab book while reading @kapskom’s “Malevolent Republic,” which is an excellent overview of how India arrived to its current point. The parallels between Modi and Trump (which he doesn’t make but will be obvious to any American reader) are *fascinating*      источник

В разреженном воздухе
A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
Jon Krakauer - 1999-10-19 (впервые опубликовано в 1997)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Книга известного американского журналиста, писателя и альпиниста Джона Кракауэра "В разреженном воздухе" написана по горячим следам трагедии, разыгравшейся во время экспедиции на Эверест в мае 1996 года... "Была гора - богиня мира". Тибетцы называли ее Джомолунгма, непальцы - Сагарматха. Европейцы дали ей мужское имя - в честь английского топографа сэра Джорджа Эвереста. Эверест был покорен. Но была ли покорена Сагарматха-Джомолунгма? Что испытывает человек, стоя на Крыше мира - восторг и упоение или бесконечную усталость, страх и желание поскорее спуститься? Что хочет найти и что находит романтик и любитель острых ощущений, заплатив 65000 долларов за возможность постоять пять минут на высшей точке планеты? Как, кому и за что мстит гора? На эти и многие другие вопросы пытается найти ответы автор книги, которого, быть может, "Богиня мира" для того и пощадила чтобы, спустившись, он смог не только представить пронзительно-жесткий персональный отчет об экспедиции, но и дать объемную и правдивую картину эверестской эпопеи в целом.

@paulmcmorris411 I’m sure they have help. Read Thomas Rid’s “Active Measures” and David Shimer’s “Rigged.” They play the long game and are very savvy about understanding granular details of political vulnerabilities among politicians      источник

If you haven’t already, I *highly* recommend @ruthbenghiat’s book, “Strongmen.” She details the the final arc of people who once appeared invincible. In every case, the downfall is swift, and certain.      источник

Rigged
America, Russia, and One Hundred Years of Covert Electoral Interference
David Shimer - 2020-06-30

"Rigged" by David Shimer explores the covert struggle between Russia and America to influence elections, past and present. With new insights from over 130 key players and in-depth historical research, Shimer reveals disturbing details about Russia's ongoing operation to undermine American democracy. This gripping and essential book shows that Russia's interference in the 2016 election was just one battle in a much longer war that threatens electoral sovereignty worldwide.
