A provocative look at the relationship between the far right and the American conservative movement from the 1930s to the end of the Cold War

In this work, world-class philosopher David Walsh argues that "person" is the central category of modern political thought and philosophy, building on ideas from his earlier book, Politics of the Person as the Politics of Being. The text is structured in three main parts, starting with the political discovery of the inexhaustibility of persons, followed by a philosophical exploration of the differentiation of the "person," and concluding with its historical emergence through art, science, and faith. Walsh posits that while the roots of the "person" concept lie in Greek notions of the mind and Christian ideas of the soul, it is ultimately a modern achievement. The modern focus on interiority reveals the unique nature of persons as worlds unto themselves. This characteristic enables genuine knowledge and communication between individuals, allowing for friendship and the building of community. By emphasizing the person as modernity's central concern, Walsh illustrates how true self-giving and community development can only occur through recognizing each other as persons. This work significantly contributes to contemporary discussions in political theory and philosophy, appealing to students and scholars in theology, literature, and those interested in personalism.

It was the story that shocked the world: Russian athletics was revealed to be corrupt from top to bottom, with institutionalised doping used to help the nation's athletes win medals they did not truly deserve. But the full story of the couple who blew the whistle has never been told - until now. Vitaly Stepanov worked for the Russian anti-doping squad, committed to his job; Yuliya Rusanova was one of the country's most promising 800m athletes. When they met, he fell in love with her; she revealed she was taking performance-enhancing drugs. It could have been the end of their relationship, but instead they decided they would reveal the scale and the scope of the corruption in Russian athletics - the bribes, the drugs, the abuse. At enormous personal risk to their marriage and even their lives, they recorded and filmed athletes and officials involved in the scandal, and then escaped to Germany to pass on their devastating evidence. Now, with award-winning journalist David Walsh, the man who broke the Lance Armstrong story, they reveal the full truth of what went on in Russia, and the corrupt system that surrounded everything they did. But The Russian Affair is so much more than an unrivalled account of the biggest sporting scandal, it is a warm and human story of a couple fighting to tell the truth and to save their family at the same time, while facing seemingly insurmountable odds

The tie-in edition of the stunning new film, directed by Stephen Frears and starring Chris O'Dowd (Moone Boy, The IT Crowd) as David Walsh and Ben Foster (3.10 to Yuma) as Lance Armstrong. This book, previously published as Seven Deadly Sins, tells the thrilling story of Walsh's thirteen-year quest to prove that the world's most famous cancer survivor and cycling superstar Lance Armstrong had built his reputation on a lie. From Armstrong's first Tour win in 1999, Walsh was one of very few to question what we were seeing and, in his search for the truth, he was dubbed a 'troll' by the Texan cyclist and found himself ostracised by those who didn't want to upset the narrative that Armstrong seemed to present to a sport in urgent need of renewal. Eventually, thanks in large part to Walsh's persistence, Armstrong was stripped of his titles, banned for life from the sport and forced into admitting to Oprah that he had, after all, been doping and that his seven Tour de France victories were little more than his seven deadly sins. It was one of the biggest sporting stories of the century, and the tale of how it came about is now the basis of a wonderful film.
