Between Tyranny and Freedom recounts one man's journey: a boyhood in freedom and then his subsequent loss of freedom followed by a way-too-soon leap into manhood. The man in Alexandra's true story is her father, told to her decades after his ordeals-after the wounds of his ordeal had time to heal. It is his story, that of one man, yet is more so because we are able to witness over the expanse of a lifetime much about the human psyche and human condition. It is especially relevant today as we are confronted on one stage with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and on another stage (too close to home) civil unrest unseen in American history in ways that a decade ago was unthinkable. Behind the scenes of her father's saga is the question of how a society is structured to govern itself. Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the ancient Greeks identified three types of governance, each with its pro and con aspects. Freedom-seeking Greeks identified and recorded how to avoid various types of tyranny. The Poland/Ukraine encounters have two of these types: dictatorship in the form of Nazi Germany, and later oligarchy in the presence of Soviet Russia. Note: The third type of tyranny "rule by majority" is prevalent in today's school boards, traditional and social media, identity politics, and government. Of particular interest is the location where the story begins- the Borderlands of Eastern Poland. And yet, this very area of Eastern Poland has been for the last several decades Western Ukraine which is now under egregious attack from a neighboring bully. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. So was Alexandra's father, Tadeusz Mazur.

The United States was founded on the importance of civil liberties—protections for the individual against the control of others, whether those are other people or the government. Freedom for each person is a cornerstone of Western society. John Stuart Mill’s thoughts on liberty and the concept of freedom are among the most important frameworks on which we’ve built so much of modern society; our very ideas of limited government and personal freedom are rooted in the writings of this great political philosopher. John Stuart Mill on Liberty is a collection of some of the most important of his statements on the ideas of liberty and freedom. This book showcases his firm belief that each person should have the right to live as he or she wants to, so long as it does not harm anyone else. Much of what we now take for granted or still fight to maintain or advance, such as freedom of speech, the abolition of slavery, and the rights of women, are things Mill argued for. As you read his passionate entreaties for liberty, you’ll be amazed at how relevant and important they remain today. “In this age, the mere example of non-conformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service.” —John Stuart Mill

This book offers a new approach to the extraordinary story of Timor-Leste. The Indonesian invasion of the former Portuguese colony in 1975 was widely considered to have permanently crushed the Timorese independence movement. Initial international condemnation of the invasion was quickly replaced by widespread acceptance of Indonesian sovereignty. But inside Timor-Leste various resistance networks maintained their struggle, against all odds. Twenty-four years later, the Timorese were allowed to choose their political future and the new country of Timor-Leste came into being in 2002. This book presents freedom in Timor-Leste as an accomplishment of networked governance, arguing that weak networks are capable of controlling strong tyrannies. Yet, as events in Timor-Leste since independence show, the nodes of networks of freedom can themselves become nodes of tyranny. The authors argue that constant renewal of liberation networks is critical for peace with justice - feminist networks for the liberation of women, preventive diplomacy networks for liberation of victims of war, village development networks, civil society networks. Constant renewal of the separation of powers is also necessary. A case is made for a different way of seeing the separation of powers as constitutive of the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination. The book is also a critique of realism as a theory of international affairs and of the limits of reforming tyranny through the centralised agency of a state sovereign. Reversal of Indonesia's 1975 invasion of Timor-Leste was an implausible accomplishment. Among the things that achieved it was principled engagement with Indonesia and its democracy movement by the Timor resistance. Unprincipled engagement by Australia and the United States in particular allowed the 1975 invasion to occur. The book argues that when the international community regulates tyranny responsively, with principled engagement, there is hope for a domestic politics of nonviolent transformation for freedom and justice.

"The war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new Millennium." So begins Jim Bovard's newest and, in some ways, most provocative book as he casts yet another jaundiced eye on Washington and the motives behind protecting "the homeland" and prosecuting a wildly unpopular war with Iraq. For James Bovard, as always, it all comes down to a trampling of personal liberty and an end to privacy as we know it. From airport security follies that protect no one to increased surveillance of individuals and skyrocketing numbers of detainees, the war on terrorism is taking a toll on individual liberty and no one tells the whole grisly story better than Bovard.

When it comes to liberalism, the usual story in postwar America is one of decline, accompanied by the subplot of conservatism’s ascendance. But take a longer view—look beyond and below politics—and it is the unchallenged triumph of liberalism and its philosophical assumptions that ought to command our attention. The triumph of liberalism means the tyranny of liberalism, explains James Kalb in this illuminating book, for liberalism is the extension into the sociopolitical realm of modern scientific thought and technological rationality. These modes of thinking are regarded by nearly everyone today as uniquely authoritative; those institutions and beliefs which do not conform are regarded at best as annoyances, and at worst as evil. Furthermore, Kalb shows how liberalism is an expression of the interests and outlook of commercial and managerial elites, who are suspicious of less rationalized and controllable forms of social organization like the family.

We are witnessing the rise of global tyranny against Jews and Christians. Political correctness and identity politics are the new totalitarianism-weaponized to create chaos in America and around the world. It is a tyranny that venerates the collective over the value of the individual who is made in the image of God. Western Civilization itself is under threat of extinction. Our great union is being torn apart from within. This is our D Day moment...the only question is do we have the stomach to fight this war. Now more than ever we must push back against today's cultural authoritarianism just as German Theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer pushed back against the Nazis in WWII. This is a companion workbook to the nine part video series by the same name- Bonhoeffer: From Tyranny to Freedom. The series is based on the book "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy" by Eric Metaxes.
