President Erdöan has been playing the authoritarian's game for some time now, as his repressive regime established itself firmly and he has already secured his place in history books. Yet, the nature and the meaning of his legacy will be determined by people who observe, record, and study his leadership. Under the tense and uncertain conditions of this regime, segments of society in Turkey are still actively responding to the onslaught of authoritarian measures, coalescing at diverse sites of repression, protesting lack of transparency and rule of law, arbitrary state action against citizens, or outright extractivist practices against humans and nature. As the determination and bravery of these activists has to be noted, this volume continues with that critical task of detailing, examining, and analyzing the decline of one of the twenty-first century democratically elected governments into a domestically punitive and regionally aggressive authoritarian regime.

Andr Trocm is famous for his role in saving thousands of Jews from the Nazis as pastor of the village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France, a story celebrated in literature and film. But who was the man behind the legend, and the how did he become an international hero and uncompromising advocate of nonviolence resistance? Appearing in English for the first time, his private memoirs give a colorful and honest account of a person determined to stay true to his faith and convictions, who despite his quirks was ready to stand his ground when world history came knocking.Written for his children in the 1950s and first published in French in 2020, these memoirs trace Andr Trocms extraordinary life: a bourgeois childhood; teenage years as a World War I refugee; studies abroad in New York City, where he met his future wife, Magda, and tutored the Rockefeller children; military service in Algeria, which cemented his pacifist stance; postings as a pastor in depressed areas of France; resisting fascism and hiding Jews in Le Chambon; a brief imprisonment and a stint underground; and globetrotting leadership in the International Fellowship of Reconciliation. Trocm also reveals the impact of personal tragedies: the untimely death of his mother in a car accident for which his father was responsible and, years later, his teenage sons suicide.This detailed first-person account from an eyewitness to pivotal moments in history will be of interest not just to scholars of the Holocaust, World War II, and domestic resistance to fascism, but also to those seeking to follow their conscience and the teachings of their faith in trying times.People who enjoyed Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed, A Good Place to Hide and Village of Secrets will appreciate reading the story in Trocm's own words.
