Patriot är Aleksej Navalnyjs självbiografi – berättelsen om Vladimir Putins främsta kritiker och den kamp mot Kreml som slutligen ledde till hans död i ett ryskt fängelse i februari 2024. I denna gripande och politiskt laddade memoar skildrar Navalnyj sitt liv som oppositionsledare i Ryssland, sin kamp mot korruption och auktoritärt styre samt priset han och hans familj tvingades betala.
Boken ger en unik inblick i rysk politik under Putin-eran och följer Navalnyjs resa från ungdom och juridikstudier till att bli den mest framträdande symbolen för den ryska demokratirörelsen. Här berättar han om avslöjandena av regimens korruption, attentatsförsöket med nervgiftet Novitjok, återvändandet till Moskva och de år av fängelse som följde. Samtidigt är Patriot en personlig berättelse om kärleken till hustrun Julija, om familjelivet och om övertygelsen att frihet och demokrati är värda att försvara – även mot en supermakt fast besluten att tysta honom.
Med passion, skärpa och moralisk klarhet framstår Patriot som Navalnyjs sista vittnesmål och ett dokument över motstånd, civilkurage och kampen för mänskliga rättigheter i dagens Ryssland. Det är en central bok för alla som vill förstå oppositionen mot Putin, Rysslands politiska utveckling och den globala betydelsen av Navalnyjs arv.

How do we define patriotism in a diverse society?What divides us and what brings us together?Why do we feel uncomfortable celebrating our country’s history?How to be a Patriot offers a new way of understanding our collective identity in a country wracked by division and brimming with markers of selfhood – faith, race, gender, age, sexuality.Sunder Katwala himself grew up with some questions to work through. As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic child of the NHS, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal to him, but he realised that with that background he could hardly be anything but British, and proud of it too.His timely and clear-eyed analysis seeks to navigate the many crises of this increasingly disunited kingdom: extremism and integration after 7/7; fear of immigration and the deep divides of Brexit; the resurgence of online racism; and the debate over our cultural heritage. Equipped with a nuanced understanding of the subject and a wealth of supporting data, he sets out to foster a more open and tolerant society: one that welcomes alternative ideas and cultures rather than shutting them out.Ultimately, How to be a Patriot is a rousing story of lives lived together and shared values. Far from being divisive, it concludes, an inclusive and confident patriotism is a reminder that our differences need not define us.

On 19 August 1953 the British and American intelligence agencies launched a desperate coup against a cussed, bedridden 72-year-old. His name was Muhammad Mossadegh, the Iranian prime minister. To Winston Churchill he was a lunatic, determined to humiliate Britain. To President Eisenhower he was delivering Iran to the Soviets. Mossadegh must go. And so he did, in one of the most dramatic episodes in modern Middle Eastern history. But the countries that overthrew him would, in time, deeply regret it. Mossadegh was one of the first liberals of the Middle East, a man whose conception of liberty was as sophisticated as any in Europe or America. He wanted friendship with the West - not slavish dependence.Here, for the first time, is the political and personal life of a remarkable patriot, written by our foremost observer of Iran. Above all, the life of Muhammad Mossadegh is a warning to today's occupants of Downing Street and the White House, as they commit us all to intervention in a volatile and unpredictable region.

A nuanced account of the early leaders who shaped the American presidencyThe founding fathers of the United States created a unique institution, the presidency, as they were determined to authorize an effective chief executive but wary of monarchy. They endowed this office with broad prerogatives and power but hedged it in with limitations. The presidency that developed over the next generation, however, was fashioned less by the clauses in the Constitution than by the way that the first presidents responded to challenges such as sectional enmity and the vexing Napoleonic warfare that jeopardized maritime rights. Patriot Presidents explores how the presidency took shape from the medley of clauses handed down to George Washington, who said, "I walk on untrodden ground," for virtually everything he did created a precedent. It then follows the overwhelming challenges faced by his successors, from the austere John Adams who spoke passionately in favor of a strong executive, to Thomas Jefferson, a zealous advocate of American liberties, to James Madison, the creator of the first political party, and James Monroe, whose Monroe Doctrine protected the sovereignty of the Western Hemisphere. It concludes with John Quincy Adams, who could be called the prophet of the expansive twentieth-century state of the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and the Great Society. The esteemed American historian William E. Leuchtenburg invites readers to revisit the years after the birth of the republic, when Americans could take pride in leaders of ideals, high competence, and integrity who headed their government--chief executives who, though not unflawed, had an abiding commitment to the success of the vulnerable government that had emerged from the revolutionary cause to which they had devoted themselves.
