Saddam Hussein's Ba'th Party
The Ba'th Party came to power in 1968 and remained for thirty-five years, until the 2003 U.S. invasion. Under Saddam Hussein's leadership, a powerful authoritarian regime was created based on a system of violence, a surveillance network, as well as reward schemes and incentives for supporters of the party. The true horrors of this regime have been exposed for the first time through a massive archive of government documents captured after the fall of Saddam Hussein. It is these documents that form the basis of this extraordinarily revealing book and that have been translated and analyzed by Joseph Sassoon, an Iraqi-born scholar and seasoned commentator on the Middle East. They uncover the secrets of the innermost workings of Hussein's Revolutionary Command Council, how the party was structured, how it operated via its network of informers, and how the system of rewards functioned. As this gripping portrayal of Saddam Hussein's Iraq demonstrates, the regime was every bit as authoritarian and brutal as Stalin's Soviet Union or Mao's China.

Educations in Ethnic Violence
In Educations in Ethnic Violence, Matthew Lange explores education's impact on ethnic violence, highlighting the role that social context plays. Lange contradicts the widely-held belief that education promotes peace and tolerance. Rather than deterring violence, Lange finds that education commonly contributes to aggression. He employs a cross-national statistical analysis with case studies of Sri Lanka, Cyprus, the Palestinian territories, India, sub-Saharan Africa, Canada, and Germany.
