## Books
- [China, Russia, and the Coming Cool War](https://www.iwp.edu/books/china-russia-and-the-coming-cool-war/): This brief volume is designed to clarify the character of America’s strategic rivalry with Russia and China and how the United States and its allies might prevail without enduring a total war or a massive nuclear exchange. The volume consists of four chapters and an appendix. The first chapter, “Winning the Coming Cool War,” describes what America and its closest allies must do over several decades to prevail in a “cool war,” in which collective analysis sharing and the securing of information will be far more important to secure victory than credibly threatening massive destruction with nuclear or conventional weapons.
- [American Diplomacy Towards Lebanon: Lessons in Foreign Policy and the Middle East](https://www.iwp.edu/books/american-diplomacy-towards-lebanon-lessons-in-foreign-policy-and-the-middle-east/): Lebanon's significance to the Middle East and the global arena is greater than its small size suggests - bordering Israel and Syria, it holds a geo-strategic role as the playing field for their competition as well as for their allies, America and Iran. This book examines how American diplomacy has responded to the intersection of local, regional, and international factors in Lebanon.
- [Integrated Deterrence and Cyberspace](https://www.iwp.edu/books/integrated-deterrence-and-cyberspace/): This book was edited by IWP professor Dr. Joseph Billingsley. To download a pdf of the book, please visit National Defense University Press.

- [Warfare in Peacetime: Proxies and State Powers](https://www.iwp.edu/books/warfare-in-peacetime-proxies-and-state-powers/): Warfare in Peacetime offers an expansive and elaborated portrait of overseas proxy wars. The structure and substance will prepare observers, analysts, and participants seeking to understand challenges before American and other statesmen. The work helps frame the morass in Syria, with all its foreign links; the contest for influence in Libya, where innumerable hands vie for dominance; the fighting in Yemen, where Houthi Shia organizations backed by Iranian sponsors battle Sunni tribes; and life along the borders of Russian expansionism, where Ukrainians plea for outside assistance, including weapons from Washington. Such ongoing “warfare in peacetime” has a thousand precedents in a dozen ages, including our day, and some of the patterns are explored along with detailed case studies.
- [The Past as Prologue: Over There in American History](https://www.iwp.edu/books/the-past-as-prologue-over-there-in-american-history/): The Past as Prologue: "Over There" in American History, a new book by Dr. John Tierney, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

- [A Citizen’s Guide to Terrorism and Counterterrorism](https://www.iwp.edu/books/a-citizens-guide-to-terrorism-and-counterterrorism/): This Citizen's Guide addresses the public policy issues of terrorism and counterterrorism in the United States after Bin Laden's death.

- [Heaven on Earth: The Rise, Fall, and Afterlife of Socialism](https://www.iwp.edu/books/heaven-on-earth-the-rise-fall-and-afterlife-of-socialism/): Socialism was man's most ambitious attempt to supplant religion with a doctrine claiming to ground itself in “science.” Each failure to create societies of abundance or give birth to “the New Man” inspired more searching for the path to the promised land: revolution, communes, social democracy, communism, fascism, Arab socialism, African socialism. None worked, and some exacted a staggering human toll. Then, after two centuries of wishful thinking and bitter disappointment, socialism imploded in a fin de siècle drama of falling walls and collapsing regimes. It was an astonishing denouement but what followed was no less astonishing. After the hiatus of a couple of decades, new voices were raised, as if innocent of all that had come before, proposing to try it all over again.
- [Human Liberty 2.0: Advancing Universal Rights in the Digital Age](https://www.iwp.edu/books/human-liberty-2-0-advancing-universal-rights-in-the-digital-age/): A powerful look at the real-life heroes and heroines who have changed the world using social media to advance the cause of human rights and dignity.
- [No God, No Civilization: The New Atheism and the Fantasy of Perpetual Progress](https://www.iwp.edu/books/no-god-no-civilization-the-new-atheism-and-the-fantasy-of-perpetual-progress/): What does the world get from God? What does the world lose when it loses reason? For centuries, an aggressive secularism has fought to occupy the place once held by religion in Western society.
- [Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future](https://www.iwp.edu/books/underestimated-our-not-so-peaceful-nuclear-future/): With the world focused on the nuclear crisis in Iran, it is tempting to think that addressing this case, North Korea, and the problem of nuclear terrorism is all that matters and is what matters most. Perhaps, but if states like Russia and Pakistan become more willing to use their nuclear weapons to achieve military advantage, and if nuclear weapons-related technology and materials continue to spread, the problem of proliferation will become much more unwieldy. In this case, U.S. security will be hostage not just to North Korea, Iran, or terrorists, but also to more nuclear proliferation, diplomatic miscalculations, and wars between a much larger number of possible players (including some of our closest allies) that could go nuclear. This, in a nutshell, is the premise of Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future, Second Edition, which explores what nuclear futures we may face over the next 3 decades and how we currently think about this future. Will nuclear weapons spread in the next 20 years to more nations than just North Korea and possibly Iran? How dire will the consequences be? What might help us avoid the worst? This book supplies the answers.
- [The Terrorist Argument: Modern Advocacy and Propaganda](https://www.iwp.edu/books/the-terrorist-argument-modern-advocacy-and-propaganda/): From chants and pamphlets to the Internet, terrorist propaganda can be deadly effective.
- [The Grand Strategy that Won the Cold War: Architecture of Triumph](https://www.iwp.edu/books/the-grand-strategy-that-won-the-cold-war-architecture-of-triumph/): This book demonstrates that under the leadership of President Ronald Reagan and through the mechanism of his National Security Council staff, the United States developed and executed a comprehensive grand strategy, involving the coordinated use of the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of national power, and that that grand strategy led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. 
- [For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty](https://www.iwp.edu/books/for-the-least-of-these-a-biblical-answer-to-poverty/): Today, many thoughtful and compassionate Christians are addressing the challenge of alleviating poverty. But while much progress has been made, many well-intentioned efforts have led Christians to actions that are not only ineffective, but leave the most vulnerable in a worse situation than before. Is there a better answer?
- [Trasnformacja czy niepodległość?](https://www.iwp.edu/books/trasnformacja-czy-niepodlego/): Trasnformacja czy niepodległość?  (Gdańsk: Patria Media, 2014) assesses the past quarter-century of post-communism in Poland (1989 - 2014).
- [Hoover’s Secret War against Axis Spies: FBI Counterespionage during World War II](https://www.iwp.edu/books/hoovers-secret-war-against-axis-spies-fbi-counterespionage-during-world-war-ii/): The world was at war, America precariously poised on the sidelines. But already a second secret war was well underway. While he fought on the home front to consolidate the FBI's intelligence gathering power, J. Edgar Hoover was conducting an all-out campaign to make his agency America's first foreign espionage service--a campaign that would lead to an uneasy alliance with British intelligence in a brilliantly successful operation to undermine Germany.

- [Intermarium: The Land between the Black and Baltic Seas](https://www.iwp.edu/books/intermarium-the-land-between-the-black-and-baltic-seas/): History and collective memories influence a nation, its culture, and institutions; hence, its domestic politics and foreign policy. That is the case in the Intermarium, the land between the Baltic and Black Seas in Eastern Europe. The area is the last unabashed rampart of Western Civilization in the East, and a point of convergence of disparate cultures. 
- [Między Wisłą a Potomakiem](https://www.iwp.edu/books/midzy-wis-a-potomakiem/): Entitled Między Wisłą a Potomakiem (Between the Vistula and the Potomac), this work aims to answer several important questions.
- [Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve](https://www.iwp.edu/books/soulmates-resurrecting-eve/): In this book, Dr. Pilon argues for a return to an egalitarian view of men and women, found in the original Genesis narrative, as reflected through Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Like any art form, the real definition of public diplomacy is subjective, and can be the source of lively and often bitter debates.  Rather than attempt to create a specific definition of public diplomacy, The Public Diplomacy Reader takes some of the most insightful and historically significant writings, statements and official documents, from a variety of professional disciplines and political perspectives, so the reader can develop his or her own sense of what the field is all about.  This book makes no pretensions about completeness. The editor found it challenging to keep it under 500 pages of actual text. Here is how The Public Diplomacy Reader is designed to serve the user: To provide in a single volume a useful primer on public diplomacy, straight from some of the leading thinkers and practitioners across time and culture.ISBN: 978-0-6151-5465-7     $34.95 paperback.  $49.95 hardcover.

Chodakiewicz provides us with a criminal investigation of this mass murder. In this detailed study of a small area in Poland, Chodakiewicz examines the conditions that led to the heinous slaughter of Jedwabne's Jewish population. A dominant interpretation of this event depicts the Germans as the perpetrators of the crime while the Poles looked on. An alternative version suggests that the Germans plotted the crime, while the Poles executed the slaughter. The author argues that these two competing theses are not supported by the available evidence. Despite the limitation of sources, Chodakiewicz emphasizes a comprehensive methodology using all available documents, testimonies, oral recollections, and forensic and other physical evidence to reconstruct the history. In addition, Chodakiewicz provides an alternative interpretation to the dominant paradigms concerning Jewish-Polish relations in general and the mass murder in Jedwabne in particular.

Political freedom refers to the freedom to participate in civic life, whether through association, assembly, speech, press, protest, or voting.
