Martin Jacques - When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order (2009)

How China's ascendance as an economic superpower will alter the cultural, political, social, and ethnic balance of global power in the twenty-first century, unseating the West and in the process creating a whole new world

According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood. In this far-reaching and original investigation, Martin Jacques offers provocative answers to some of the most pressing questions about China's growing place on the world stage.

Martin Jacques reveals, by elaborating on three historical truths, how China will seek to shape the world in its own image. The Chinese have a rich and long history as a civilization-state. Under the tributary system, outlying states paid tribute to the Middle Kingdom. Ninety-four percent of the population still believes they are one race-"Han Chinese." The strong sense of superiority rooted in China's history promises to resurface in twenty-first century China and in the process strengthen and further unify the country.

A culturally self-confident Asian giant with a billion-plus population, China will likely resist globalization as we know it. This exceptionalism will have powerful ramifications for the rest of the world and the United States in particular. As China is already emerging as the new center of the East Asian economy, the mantle of economic and, therefore, cultural relevance will in our lifetimes begin to pass from Manhattan and Paristo cities like Beijing and Shanghai. It is the American relationship with and attitude toward China, Jacques argues, that will determine whether the twenty-first century will be relatively peaceful or fraught with tension, instability, and danger.

When China Rules the World is the first book to fully conceive of and explain the upheaval that China's ascendance will cause and the realigned global power structure it will create.

Martin Jacques coedited and coauthored The Forward March of Labour Halted?, The Politics of Thatcherism, and New Times. Jacques cofounded the UK think tank Demos, has been a columnist for The Times of London, and was editor of Marxism Today and deputy editor of The Independent. He currently writes a regular column for The Guardian and is a visiting research fellow at the London School of Economics Asia Research Centre.

Dr. Monsenor Rafael Rodriguez Guillen - The Power of the Vatican (2003)

This is Rafael Rodríguez Guillén's explosive book The Power of the Vatican (2003) where this ex-Monsignor exposes the hidden dictatorial powers of the Vatican state in the United States, Mexico and Latin America, her power as a nation and political state, her monastic orders, her diplomats, her compromises and alliances with ultra right parties, and her influence in all the news and medias in the United States, with revelant but unknown and mostly secret facts. The power of the Vatican?s Empire has been a constant preoccupation for this historian of the Catholic Church and the search for the truth has taken him fifty years of consulting in her secret archives, investigating in diverse nations and documenting on the most prestigious Vaticanists, not only Catholic, but also impartial Christian writers. The author had access to many dioceses and consulted their secret archives so he could then broadly analyze the political and economical power of the Vatican in the United States, Mexico, and Latin America. He also mentions her banks, riches in stationary or fixed property securities, gold treasures and of precious pearls, commercial property of the Vatican, and also her monastic agents, bishops, parsons, vicars, and Catholic economists. Guillen reveals how the Vatican has made pacts and alliances with the most powerful countries and Christian churches. These churches, whose names you will find through these pages, are playing the diabolical game of this state of national Catholicism. He has been able to document everything first in his ministerial and administrative offices as a Monsignor and economist in these diverse nations, and second on Vaticanist writers, in spite of the difficulties and lack of collaboration of the Catholic hierarchy, which is forever pledged to occulting and silencing the truth to keep us in ignorance. The author will examine the awesome might of the Paramilitary forces of her "thousands of Roman legions", which the same as the old Roman Empire, have taken over the nations; and her thousands of fanatical friars and nuns who dominate the education of the people, whose simple and solemn vows to the Vatican and oaths to the pope and his constitutions form part of the power and dominion of world Catholicism or of the pseudochristianity governed by these same satanic powers. 125 pages. A must read for everyone.

Wilford - The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America (2008)

In 1967 the magazine Ramparts ran an exposé revealing that the Central Intelligence Agency had been secretly funding and managing a wide range of citizen front groups intended to counter communist influence around the world. In addition to embarrassing prominent individuals caught up, wittingly or unwittingly, in the secret superpower struggle for hearts and minds, the revelations of 1967 were one of the worst operational disasters in the history of American intelligence and presaged a series of public scandals from which the CIA's reputation has arguably never recovered.

CIA official Frank Wisner called the operation his "mighty Wurlitzer," on which he could play any propaganda tune. In this illuminating book, Hugh Wilford provides the first comprehensive account of the clandestine relationship between the CIA and its front organizations. Using an unprecedented wealth of sources, he traces the rise and fall of America's Cold War front network from its origins in the 1940s to its Third World expansion during the 1950s and ultimate collapse in the 1960s.

Covering the intelligence officers who masterminded the CIA's fronts as well as the involved citizen groups—émigrés, labor, intellectuals, artists, students, women, Catholics, African Americans, and journalists—Wilford provides a surprising analysis of Cold War society that contains valuable lessons for our own age of global conflict.

Wilford, who was educated in Britain and teaches history at California State University Long Beach, is hardly the first author to tell such tales. But no one has written a more comprehensive or sophisticated account of the pro-American fronts from their creation in the late 1940s to the investigative report 20 years later in Ramparts magazine that first exposed the CIA's cultural offensive and left people such as Steinem with a bit of explaining to do…Wilford writes with smoothness and wit.

Hugh Wilford is Associate Professor of History, California State University, Long Beach.

Peter Knight - The Kennedy Assassination (2007)

November 22nd 1963, Dealey Plaza As a seminal event in late twentieth-century American history, the Kennedy assassination has permeated the American and world consciousness in a wide variety of ways. It has long fascinated American writers, filmmakers and artists, and this book offers an authoritative critical introduction to the way the event has been constructed in a range of discourses. It looks at a variety of historical, political and cultural attempts to understand Kennedy's death. Representations include: journalism from the time; historical accounts and memoirs; official investigations, government reports and sociological inquiries; the huge number of conspiracy-minded interpretations; novels, plays and other works of literature; and the Zapruder footage, photography, avant-garde art, and Hollywood films. Considering the continuities and contradictions in how the event has been represented, the author focuses on how it has been seen through the lens of ideas about conspiracy, celebrity and violence.He also explores how the arguments about exactly what happened on 22 November 1963 have come to serve as a substitute way of debating the significance of Kennedy's legacy and the meaning of the 1960s more generally. Key Features: * presents information about the event itself, the cultural context of the period, and the consequences of the event * considers the ways in which the event has been represented in subsequent years in a variety of discourses * includes an annotated bibliography and 10 B&W illustrations.

Umberto Eco - Serendipities: Language & Lunacy (1998)

Best-selling author Umberto Eco´s latest work unlocks the riddles of history in an exploration of the "linguistics of the lunatic," stories told by scholars, scientists, poets, fanatics, and ordinary people in order to make sense of the world. Exploring the "Force of the False," Eco uncovers layers of mistakes that have shaped human history, such as Columbus´s assumption that the world was much smaller than it is, leading him to seek out a quick route to the East via the West and thus fortuitously "discovering" America. The fictions that grew up around the cults of the Rosicrucians and Knights Templar were the result of a letter from a mysterious "Prester John" -undoubtedly a hoax -that provided fertile ground for a series of delusions and conspiracy theories based on religious, ethnic, and racial prejudices. While some false tales produce new knowledge (like Columbus´s discovery of America) and others create nothing but horror and shame (the Rosicrucian story wound up fueling European anti-Semitism) they are all powerfully persuasive. In a careful unraveling of the fabulous and the false, Eco shows us how serendipities -unanticipated truths -often spring from mistaken ideas. From Leibniz´s belief that the I Ching illustrated the principles of calculus to Marco Polo´s mistaking a rhinoceros for a unicorn, Eco tours the labyrinth of intellectual history, illuminating the ways in which we project the familiar onto the strange. Eco uncovers a rich history of linguistic endeavor -much of it ill-conceived -that sought to "heal the wound of Babel." Through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, and Egyptian were alternately proclaimed as the first language that God gave to Adam, while -in keeping with the colonial climate of the time -the complex language of the Amerindians in Mexico was viewed as crude and diabolical. In closing, Eco considers the erroneous notion of linguistic perfection and shrewdly observes that the dangers we face lie not in the rules we use to interpret other cultures but in our insistence on making these rules absolute. With the startling combination of erudition and wit, bewildering anecdotes and scholarly rigor that are Eco´s hallmarks, is sure to entertain and enlighten any reader with a passion for the curious history of languages and ideas.

Umberto Eco is professor of semiotics at the University of Bologna.
