    In the core of Argentina's fierce political scene, a magnetic and disputable figure has arisen, rocking the boat and catching the consideration of a country longing for change. Javier Milei, a financial expert turned lawmaker, has overwhelmed the country with his irregular methodology, the faithful obligation to unregulated economy standards, and strong commitments to monetary renewal. His excursion from candid pundit to the most elevated office in the land is a demonstration of his steady confidence in his convictions and his capacity to interface with a fragment of the electorate disappointed with conventional politics. This enthralling book digs into the life, character, and administration style of Javier Milei, investigating the variables that molded his eccentric way to the administration. It looks at his early stages as a financial expert, his change into the political field, and his significant job in Argentina's 2023 official political race. Through top-to-bottom examination and individual accounts, the book reveals insight into Milei's complicated character, his steady confidence in individual freedom and unrestricted economies, and his frequently provocative correspondence style. As Argentina explores the difficulties of financial stagnation, social imbalance, and an isolated political scene, Milei's administration remains a trial of his initiative abilities, his capacity to adjust to the requests of the high office, and his obligation to direct the country toward a more promising time to come. This book gives a complete outline of Milei's administration, looking at his strategies, their effect on the nation, and the more extensive ramifications for Argentina's political and monetary direction. Whether Milei's administration will introduce another period of success and value for Argentina is not yet clear, however, his effect on the country is unquestionable. This book offers a convincing story of a flighty pioneer who has shaken the groundwork of Argentine legislative issues, making a permanent imprint on the nation's future.

    In 1944, John Stelle, WW I Veteran and former Illinois governor, became known as "The Father of the GI Bill" after he quarterbacked a team of American Legion volunteers who, in six short months, saw the GI Bill of Rights written, signed and enacted into law. During World War II, while Stelle supported the war effort stateside, he received a letter from his son John Albert, who was recuperating in a London hospital after being seriously wounded during an artillery barrage. John Albert, in his letter, wrote about the various types of assistance that returning veterans would need from the U.S. government. John Stelle, who had been a founding member of the American Legion, took his son's letter to heart and approached Legion leadership with a proposal to organize a committee to draft proposed federal legislation that would address the health, financial and educational needs of returning soldiers. The Legion adopted the idea wholeheartedly and named John Stelle as chairman of the executive committee to lead the project. Stelle recruited key individuals to participate in the executive committee. They worked day and night for weeks on end to produce an initial draft, which was then presented to the US Senate and House of Representatives. Stelle led the political fight to get the bill enacted, which surprisingly had many critics and opponents, including Franklin Roosevelt himself.From the day of Roosevelt's signing, John Stelle became known as "The Father of the GI Bill". He was the only Legion member present in the Oval Office at the signing. He was commonly referred to as the Father of the GI Bill for not only the remainder of his life, but in the years since his passing. In 2004, the "Education Commission of the States" held its annual forum in Florida.

    This book is about a man, a time, and a nation on the verge of the fight of a way of life that families have been prospering from since our freedom was won by the many wars this country lost and shed the blood of Americans since its founding. It takes place during a time of change and reform told through the eyes of an incarcerated person during the 2016 Presidential Election. The story centers around the life of a female federal prisoner and how her personal life and family were changed because of a broken system and a radicalized idea of life. If we allow the government to continue to be in control rather than how our founding fathers wanted Americans to live, then we will be lost without God as the center of our existence. There will be no more family units as we were raised with the values our parents gave them and their parents before them. If we lose the core values of this country, then it is a matter of time before all traditional values will be lost to us forever.There is so much more to learn, and the reader will find it in the pages of this book.

  • - The Life and Legacy of the Soviet Union's Last Leader

    The Cold War seemingly moved into one of its most dangerous phases after Brezhnev's death as both sides deployed nuclear weapons within alarming proximity in Europe. A NATO exercise, "Operation Able Archer," almost led to a Soviet miscalculation, and when the Soviets shot down a South Korean airliner in September 1983, claiming it had strayed into Soviet airspace, the Cold War became very tense indeed. After going through three elderly leaders in three years, Mikhail Gorbachev was chosen as the new General Secretary of the Soviet Union at the relatively youg age of 54 in March 1985. Gorbachev hoped to build the Soviet economy to relieve the persistent shortages of consumer goods it faced, which were caused by enormous military spending of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev tried to introduce some economic reforms, but they were blocked by communist hardliners. Gorbachev then came to the belief that the Soviet economy could not improved without political reform as well. Limited political reforms, such as broadcasting uncensored debates in which politicians openly questioned government policy, backfired when they energized eastern European opposition movements which began to overthrow their communist governments in 1989. Gorbachev was unwilling to reoccupy these eastern European nations and use the Soviet army to put down these revolts. Inspired by the revolts in Eastern Europe, the small Soviet Baltic republics, which had long chafed under Russian rule, also began to clamor for independence from the Soviet Union. In 1990, Gorbachev allowed non-Communist party politicians to run for office throughout the Soviet Union, and the Communist Party lost to independence candidates in six Soviet republics, including the three Baltic republics. The Baltic republics then declared independence from the Soviet Union. In comparison with other Soviet leaders, Gorbachev was leader of the USSR for a relatively short period, but the changes that took place under his leadership were monumental, including some that were intended and others that were unforeseen. Gorbachev oversaw the end of the Cold War and the peaceful transition away from communism in Central and Eastern Europe, and he ended the war in Afghanistan and many other proxy conflicts in the developing world. Gorbachev improved relations with the West and developed enough trust with President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush to decommission thousands of nuclear weapons. He also liberalized the political environment within the Soviet Union itself, increased accountability, and brought in a certain degree of democracy. Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for these efforts in 1990, but his regime also left a legacy of turbulence and destruction in its wake. As a result of his policies, many Soviet people rose up against the status quo, demanding national self-determination and reviving old grievances. Gorbachev could not prevent the USSR from disbanding at the end of 1991, leaving much of the country's economy in ruins and nationalist and ethnic conflicts that are still unresolved today. Gorbachev was more popular abroad than he was at home, and in many respects, historians are still debating the costs and benefits of the last Soviet General Secretary's approach.

    A 2021 Daily Telegraph Book of the YearWinner of the Overseas Press Club of America's Cornelius Ryan Award ?Everyone should read the testimonies of the Chibok girls who survived the capture. We need to help with efforts to liberate all of them and become more responsible for women and girls' protection in conflicts.? ? Malala YousafzaiWhat happens after you click Tweet? The heart-stopping definitive account of the mission to rescue hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls whose abduction ignited a global social media campaign and a dramatic worldwide intervention. In the spring of 2014, millions of Twitter users, including some of the world's most famous people, unwittingly helped turn a group of 276 schoolgirls abducted by a little-known Islamist sect into a central prize in the global War on Terror by retweeting a call for their release: #BringBackOurGirls. With just four words, their tweets launched an army of would-be liberators. Soldiers and drones, spies, mercenaries, and glory hunters descended into an obscure conflict that few understood, in a remote part of Nigeria that had barely begun to use the internet. When hostage talks and military intervention failed, the schoolgirls were forced to take survival into their own hands. As their days in captivity dragged into years, the young women learned to withstand hunger, disease, and torment, and became witnesses and victims of unspeakable brutality. Many of the girls were Christians who refused to take the one path offered them?converting to their captors' fundamentalist creed. In secret, they sang hymns, and kept a diary, relying on their faith and friendships to stay alive.Bring Back Our Girls unfolds across four continents, from the remote forests of northern Nigeria to the White House; from clandestine meetings in Khartoum safe houses to century-old luxury hotels on picturesque lakes in the Swiss Alps. A twenty-first century story that plumbs the promise and peril of an era whose politics are fueled by the power of hashtag advocacy, this urgent and engrossing work of investigative journalism reveals the unpredictable interconnectedness of our butterfly-wings world, where a few days of online activism can bring years of offline consequences for people continents away.
