Telos Press Publishing Spotlight

Power, Strategy, and the New Geopolitics

At Telos Press Publishing, we believe that the best scholarship helps readers understand not only history but the forces shaping our contemporary world. As global events continue to raise new questions about geopolitics, sovereignty, and international conflict, we are pleased to highlight several books that offer historical context and enduring analytical insight.

Three recent and classic works examine the ideas, histories, and political realities underlying today’s global conflicts:

Germany and Iran: From the Aryan Axis to the Nuclear Threshold
by Matthias Küntzel
Buy now

What underpins the strange friendship between Germany and Iran that goes back to the beginning of the last century and has survived every war, catastrophe, and revolution? Matthias Küntzel’s Germany and Iran: From the Aryan Axis to the Nuclear Threshold helps us to answer these questions. By unearthing new evidence from the National Archives in Washington, DC, and the German Foreign Office Archives in Berlin, Küntzel reveals that there has always been a hidden dispute between the White House and the German government over how to tackle Iran, a dispute with deep historical roots whose effects can still be felt today.

Land and Sea: A World-Historical Meditation
by Carl Schmitt
Buy now

Originally published in 1942, at the height of the Second World War, Land and Sea: A World-Historical Meditation recounts Carl Schmitt’s view of world history “as a history of the battles of sea powers against land powers and of land powers against sea powers.” Schmitt offers his interpretations of the events of the day as well as his readings of thinkers as diverse as Seneca, Shakespeare, Herman Melville, and Benjamin Disraeli. One of the twentieth century’s most influential works of geopolitical thought, it continues to illuminate contemporary conflicts from the Strait of Hormuz to the South China Sea.

The Travails of Trumpification
by Timothy W. Luke
Buy now

In this series of critical essays written over the course of Donald J. Trump’s first term as president, from its chaotic early days to its calamitous end, Timothy W. Luke explores how the recent twists and turns in the civic life of the United States have precipitated a dangerous transformation of American political culture. With his keen eye for the forces reshaping the nation’s political landscape, Luke reveals how the “Trumpification” of the American political system persists today, with the majority of Republican politicians as well as Trump’s millions of devoted followers still firmly in the grip of his influence.
