A candid narrative of how and why the Arab Spring sparked a
revolution in Egypt- and then quickly failed. Kirkpatrick also details
America's role in that failure and the subsequent military coup that put a
dictator in power. Into the Hands of the Soldiers is a heartbreaking story with
a simple message- the failings of decades of autocracy are the reason for the
chaos we see today across the Arab world.

Beginning with the 1899 installation of a stolen Tlingit
totem pole at Pioneer Square and stretching to Safeco Field's 2017 Ken Griffey
Jr. sculpture, Seattle offers an impressive abundance of public monuments,
statues, busts, and plaques. This is a worthy guide for both long-time Seattle
visitors and those new to the Emerald City.

An inside investigation of how the global elite's efforts to
"change the world" preserve the status quo and obscure their role in
causing the same problems they’re trying to solve. Giridharadas is a former New York Times
columnist, and takes the reader into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age-
where the rich and powerful fight for equality and justice any way they can, as
long as it doesn’t threaten their position.
