Today, as liberty and truth are increasingly challenged, the figures of Churchill and Orwell loom large. Exemplars of Britishness, they preserved individual freedom and democracy for the world through their far-sighted vision and inspired action, and cast a long shadow across our culture and politics. In Churchill & Orwell, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas E. Ricks masterfully argues that these extraordinary men are as important today as they ever were. Churchill and Orwell stood in political opposition to each other, but were both committed to the preservation of freedom. However, in the late 1930s they occupied a lonely position: democracy was much discredited, and authoritarian rulers, fascist and communist, were everywhere in the ascent. Unlike others, they had the wisdom to see that the most salient issue was human liberty – and that any government that denies its people basic rights is a totalitarian menace to be resisted. Churchill and Orwell proved their age’s necessary men, and this book reveals how they rose from a precarious position to triumph over the enemies of freedom. Churchill may have played the larger role in Hitler’s defeat, but Orwell’s reckoning with the threat of authoritarian rule in 1984 and Animal Farm defined the stakes of the Cold War and continues to inspire to this day. Their lives are an eloquent testament to the power of moral conviction, and to the courage it takes to stay true to it.

A New York Times bestseller! An epic history of the decline of American military leadership—from the bestselling author of Fiasco and Churchill and Orwell. While history has been kind to the American generals of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—it has been less kind to the generals of the wars that followed, such as Koster, Franks, Sanchez, and Petraeus. In The Generals, Thomas E. Ricks sets out to explain why that is. In chronicling the widening gulf between performance and accountability among the top brass of the U.S. military, Ricks tells the stories of great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and generals who failed themselves and their soldiers. In Ricks’s hands, this story resounds with larger meaning: about the transmission of values, about strategic thinking, and about the difference between an organization that learns and one that fails.

Traducere de Doina Lică „Cartea cucerește prin bogăția de informații și corelații, punând într-o nouă lumină două personaje de altfel bine cunoscute – iar, prin intermediul lor, chiar vremurile în care trăim.“ — New Statesman „O excelentă ilustrare a perseverenței cu care Churchill și Orwell s-au opus, moral și politic, autoritarismului... Un îndemn la curaj pentru contemporanii noștri.“ — Publishers Weekly Acum, când adevărul și libertatea sunt din ce în ce mai amenințate, integritatea de care au dat dovadă Churchill și Orwell devine cu atât mai demnă de urmat. Exponenți ai spiritului britanic, vizionari și entuziaști, ei au luptat pentru libertatea individului și pentru democrație, punându-și amprenta pentru totdeauna asupra culturii noastre și a felului în care este înțeleasă viața cetății. Thomas E. Ricks, laureat al Premiului Pulitzer, ne demonstrează că valoarea de simbol a celor doi oameni extraordinari rămâne la fel de importantă astăzi ca și odinioară. Churchill și Orwell au avut opinii politice divergente, dar ambii au ridicat libertatea la rangul suprem. Și totuși, la sfârșitul anilor ’30, nu mulți le împărtășeau convingerile: democrația avea prea puțini susținători, iar pretutindeni în lume fascismul și comunismul cucereau tot mai mult teren. Churchill și Orwell au fost vocile necesare ale epocii lor, înfruntându-i cu îndrăzneală pe dușmanii libertății și împotrivindu-se tuturor formelor de guvernământ care neagă drepturile fundamentale ale omului. Lui Churchill i se datorează în mare măsură prăbușirea lui Hitler, iar modul în care Orwell a criticat autoritarismul în 1984 și Ferma animalelor a stabilit mizele Războiului Rece și are ecou până în zilele noastre.

Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2019 Longlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2020 'Fascinating . . . If you have even the slightest interest in Orwell or in the development of our culture, you should not miss this engrossing, enlightening book.' John Carey, Sunday Times George Orwell's 1984 has become a defining narrative of the modern world. Its cultural influence can be observed in some of the most notable creations of the past seventy years, from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to the reality TV landmark Big Brother, while ideas such as 'thought police', 'doublethink', and 'Newspeak' are ingrained in our language. The Ministry of Truth charts the life of one of the most influential books of the twentieth century and a work that is ever more relevant in this tumultuous era of 'fake news' and 'alternative facts'. Dorian Lynskey investigates the influences that came together in the writing of 1984 from Orwell's experiences in the Spanish Civil War and in wartime London to his fascination with utopian and dystopian fiction. Lynskey explores the phenomenon the novel became when it was first published in 1949 and the changing ways in which it has been read over the decades since, revealing how history can inform fiction and how fiction can influence history. 'Everything you wanted to know about 1984 but were too busy misusing the word "Orwellian" to ask.' Caitlin Moran
