Title: In Deep: The FBI, CIA, and the Truth about America's Deep State

Author: David Rohde

Narrator: Graham Winton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:25:00

Language: English

Release date: 04-21-20

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, North America

Summary:

A Pulitzer Prizewinning journalists investigation of the deep state.

Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials secretly manipulate or direct

national policy in the United States. President Trump blames the deep state for his impeachment. But what is the American deep

state and does it really exist?

To conservatives, the deep state is an ever-growing government bureaucracy, an administrative state that they think relentlessly

encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals fear the military-industrial complexa cabal of generals and defense

contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. Every modern American president from Carter to Trump

has engaged in power struggles with Congress, the CIA, and the FBI. Every CIA and FBI director has suspected White House aides or

members of Congress of leaking secrets for political gain. Frustrated Americans increasingly distrust the politicians, unelected officials,

and journalists who they feel set the countrys political agenda. American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a half century.

This sweeping exploration examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past fifty yearsfrom the Church Committees exposure

of Cold War abuses, to the Iran-Contra affair, to false intelligence about Iraqs weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance

revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy

theories online and on-air. While Trump says he is the victim of the deep state, Rohde argues the president and his allies are creating a

de facto deep state of their own that operates outside official government channels and smears rivals, both real and perceived.

The feverish debate over the deep state raises core questions about the future of American democracy. Is it possible for career

government officials to be politically neutral? Have the FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies grown too powerful? Are politicians

spreading deep state conspiracy theories for their own political gain? How vast should the power of a president be? Based on dozens of

interviews with career CIA operatives and FBI agents, In Deep answers the question of whether the nations intelligence agencies and its

politicians are abusing or protecting the publics trust.

Title: Lifting as We Climb: Black Women's Battle for the Ballot Box

Summary:

For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only one battle.

An eye-opening book that tells the important, overlooked story of black women as a force in the suffrage movement--when fellow suffragists did not accept them as equal partners in the struggle.

Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Alice Paul. The Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls. The 1913 Women's March in D.C. When the epic story of the suffrage movement in the United States is told, the most familiar leaders, speakers at meetings, and participants in marches written about or pictured are generally white.

That's not the real story.

Women of color, especially African American women, were fighting for their right to vote and to be treated as full, equal citizens of the United States. Their battlefront wasn't just about gender. African American women had to deal with white abolitionist-suffragists who drew the line at sharing power with their black sisters. They had to overcome deep, exclusionary racial prejudices that were rife in the American suffrage movement. And they had to maintain their dignity--and safety--in a society that tried to keep them in its bottom ranks.

Lifting as We Climb is the empowering story of African American women who refused to accept all this. Women in black church groups, black female sororities, black women's improvement societies and social clubs. Women who formed their own black suffrage associations when white-dominated national suffrage groups rejected them. Women like Mary Church Terrell, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women and of the NAACP; or educator-activist Anna Julia Cooper who championed women getting the vote and a college education; or the crusading journalist Ida B. Wells, a leader in both the suffrage and anti-lynching movements.

Author Evette Dionne, a feminist culture writer and the editor-in-chief of Bitch Media, has uncovered an extraordinary and underrepresented history of black women. In her powerful book, she draws an important historical line from abolition to suffrage to civil rights to contemporary young activists--filling in the blanks of the American suffrage story.

Summary:

One autumn morning, Jia Jia walks into the bathroom of her lavish Beijing apartment to find her husband dead.

One minute she was breakfasting with him and packing for an upcoming trip, the next, she finds him motionless in

their half-full bathtub. Like something out of a dream, next to the tub Jia Jia discovers a pencil sketch of a strange

watery figure, an image that swims into Jia Jias mind and wont leave.

The mysterious drawing launches Jia Jia on an odyssey across contemporary Beijing, from its high-rise apartments

to its hidden bars, as she encounters some of the people who call the city home, including a jaded bartender whose

caring support turns to a romantic interest. Unencumbered by a marriage that had constrained her, Jia Jia travels into

her past to try to discover things that were left unsaid by the people closest to her. Her journey takes her to the high

plains of Tibet, and even to a shadowy, watery otherworld, a place she both yearns and fears to go.

Exquisitely attuned to the complexities of human connection, and an atmospheric and cinematic evocation of

middle-class urban China, An Yus Braised Pork explores the intimate strangeness of grief, the indelible mysteries of

unseen worlds, and the energizing self-discovery of a newly empowered young woman.
