This book chronicles the insidious history of the Soviet "Poison Laboratory," the top-secret organization behind countless political assassinations throughout the 20th century—and indeed well into the 21st. Toxic Politics: The Secret History of the Kremlin's Poison Laboratory—from the Special Cabinet to the Death of Litvinenko provides a fascinating investigation into State-sponsored terrorism in the former Soviet Union. While early Soviet assassinations were performed with traditional crude methods, once Lenin's Poison Laboratory was created and put under the control of the Soviet secret services, surreptitious poisoning became the preferred method of removing opposition to the state. The most notorious cases include Lenin's widow, Nadezhda Krupskaya, who was poisoned at a special meal prepared for her 70th birthday celebration; and the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was poisoned with an ingenious umbrella gun in London. This book provides an eye-opening examination of the dark side of Soviet power, including how the Russian people viewed these murders and responses from the outside world. Most recently, the high-profile poisoning of Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko and the death of the journalist and former Soviet KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko serve as timely reminders that systematic Russian political poisonings are anything but a thing of the past.

Combining a broad analysis of political culture with a particular focus on rhetoric and strategy, Jeffrey Sawyer analyzes the role of pamphlets in the political arena in seventeenth-century France. During the years 1614-1617 a series of conflicts occurred in France, resulting from the struggle for domination of Louis XIII's government. In response more than 1200 pamphlets—some printed in as many as eighteen editions—were produced and distributed. These pamphlets constituted the political press of the period, offering the only significant published source of news and commentary. Sawyer examines key aspects of the impact of pamphleteering: the composition of the targeted public and the ways in which pamphlets were designed to affect its various segments, the interaction of pamphlet printing and political action at the court and provincial levels, and the strong connection between pamphlet content and assumptions on the one hand and the evolution of the French state on the other. His analysis provides new and valuable insights into the rhetoric and practice of politics. Sawyer concludes that French political culture was shaped by the efforts of royal ministers to control political communication. The resulting distortions of public discourse facilitated a spectacular growth of royal power and monarchist ideology and influenced the subsequent history of French politics well into the Revolutionary era. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Too many of us often adopt the attitude that 'they all do it,' meaning that all politicians lie, so our job is to pick the one who is the most charismatic or is better at appearing to be truthful compared to his opponent. And unfortunately, it seems that believability is not that important anymore.What would our Founding Fathers think of our current political system? As our leaders in Washington D.C. become increasingly ineffective, it becomes easier to envision the frustrations of great leaders like Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, observing our situation with disdain. Above all else, these men of wisdom were dedicated to the ideas of personal responsibility and integrity. What a far cry from the behavior seen today by the people elected to represent each one of us. Thankfully, the Founding Fathers provided us with the means to change our fortunes: by electing new leaders every two, four, or six years, we, the citizens of the United States, have the power to save ourselves from The Poison of Politics. Author Rex Reed examines politicians from across the spectrum, using their own words to show their inconsistencies, their lies, and their complicit relationship with the national media. Through the exchange of ideas, the power of education, and the light of honesty, The Poison of Politics will stir the hearts and minds of all patriotic Americans to rise up and reclaim the role the Founding Father's intended.

This comparative history examines the divergent paths taken by Britain and France in managing opiate abuse during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though the governments of both nations viewed rising levels of opiate use as a problem, Britain and France took opposite courses of action in addressing the issue. The British sanctioned maintenance treatment for addiction, while the French authorities did not hesitate to take legal action against addicts and the doctors who prescribed drugs to them. Drawing on primary documents, Howard Padwa examines the factors that led to these disparate approaches. He finds that national policies were influenced by shifts in the composition of drug-using populations of the two countries and a marked divergence in British and French conceptions of citizenship. Beyond shared concerns about public health and morality, Britain and France had different understandings of the threat that opiate abuse posed to their respective communities. Padwa traces the evolution of thinking on the matter in both countries, explaining why Britain took a less adversarial approach to domestic opiate abuse despite the productivity-sapping powers of this social poison, and why the relatively libertine French chose to attack opiate abuse. In the process, Padwa reveals the confluence of changes in medical knowledge, culture, politics, and drug-user demographics throughout the period, a convergence of forces that at once highlighted the issue and transformed it from one of individual health into a societal concern. An insightful look at the development of drug discourses in the nineteenth century and drug policy in the twentieth century, Social Poison will appeal to scholars and students in public health and the history of medicine.

Paul Turner is not your typical middle-aged cop. A widower, he lives with his two teenaged sons, and he is gay. He is also trusted by the brass to handle sensitive cases, so when a Chicago alderman is found murdered, Turner is assigned to the case. The dead alderman was not only a professor at the University of Chicago, but also a leading liberal gadfly with the media's ear. As Turner investigates, he discovers that jealous professors and old-guard politicians have guilty secrets to protect, not the least of which are the real reasons why some people in Chicago hated the alderman--information that they will stop at nothing to keep secret. In Political Poison, Mark Richard Zubro has penned another thrilling mystery for Paul Turner.

I teach a college EMT course. I had a lesson to teach, a lesson about diversity, stereotyping, political correctness... and the college said "NO" we'll fire you if you teach that to your students. One of us was right here and one of us was VERY wrong. This is a short story about that struggle. It involves a Federal court, The Constitution, and some very stupid "educators." We'll also discuss Critical Thinking, manipulation, race, political agendas, etc. If you haven't given all this some serious thought, it's time.
