In 1838 Lord Melbourne's Whig government in Britain sent the radical Lord Durham to Canada as Governor-General to deal with a colony in the aftermath of a rebellion. Durham's vanity and arrogance made him a poor choice for the post, and he resigned a few months later after the government had been forced to overrule him for exceeding his powers. After his return to Britain he wrote his Report on the Affairs of British North America - and its unauthorized publication in the Times caused a sensation. This report - the famous 'Durham Report' - has been seen as the starting point of the British tradition of colonial self-rule leading through the Statute of Westminster of 1931 to the independent self-governing Commonwealth of today.

John Henry Durham is an American lawyer who served as the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut (D. Conn.) from 2018 to 2021. By April 2019, he had been assigned to investigate the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections, and in October 2020 he was appointed special counsel for the Department of Justice on that matter. After 3 years of investigation and prosecutions, Durham had secured one guilty plea and a probation sentence for a charge unrelated to the origins of the Russia investigation, and two unsuccessful trial prosecutions. Durham alleged at the two trials that the FBI had been deceived by the defendants.

Properly sized in manageable book form (rather than letter-size as an ungainly memo), but retaining the pagination of the original. Issued on May 12, 2023, and publicly released on May 15, this is the final report of a four-year investigation into FBI and DOJ practices concerning the 2016 election. This is the report submitted to Attorney General Merrick Garland and publicly available soon after. This edition is more readable and usable because it is resized into a typical book footprint rather than remaining the memorandum size of the original.

A timely new book exposes Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham and his 2023 report as a Trump-friendly probe that weaponized law enforcement against Trump's opponents and absolved Trump supporters from their 2016 collusion with Russia to tilt the 2016 U.S. presidential election their way.As the now-indicted Trump pursues a 2024 campaign to win back the presidency and inflict further revenge on opponents, The Complete Annotated Durham 'Russiagate' Report is the first book to examine in depth Durham's work with Attorney General William Barr, Durham's shockingly close collaborator. Durham's report, an official document, is presented in a convenient format along with exclusive, devastating critiques of Durham's own record. The fruit of research that began 13 years ago updated to include news from early August, the annotated book reveals that four federal judges have vacated -- on grounds of prosecution misconduct -- convictions that had been won by Durham and his close colleagues. And that was before Durham's deeply flawed special counsel probe and its disgraceful losses in federal courts.Durham's report and congressional testimony in June 2023 show that his zeal to protect his Trump patrons and smear Hillary Clinton leads him to keep scapegoating targets absolved by juries and to cherry-pick evidence to avoid documenting serious threats to U.S. elections from Russians and their nefarious U.S. allies. Revealed here are current Russian threats using spies, hackers and payoffs to advance deadly goals against U.S. targets and the allied targets Great Britain, France, Africa and Ukraine.

In his famous 1839 call to reform, John George Lambton, Earl of Durham, recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be accorded responsible government by uniting the two provinces under a single legislative assembly - a union which would also bring about the assimilation of the French-Canadians. The Report has been criticized ever since - from British imperialists who found it dangerously liberal to French Canadians who despised Durham for his presumed racism. This new edition of Gerald Craig's abridgement retains his 1963 introduction and adds essays that debate Durham's political assumptions and goals, re-examine the philosophical and historical context in which the Report was created, and review the Report's reception and influence. Janet Ajzenstat reconsiders the report in the context of nineteenth-century debates about the relation between culture and political institutions, arguing that Durham should be seen as a progressive universalist opposed to the divisions of race and creed who wanted to give more freedom to French- and English-Canadians alike. Guy Laforest re-examines the report in terms of British liberal imperialism and twentieth-century English-Canadian perspectives to argue that Durham was a one-sided sociologist and the first in long line who used liberalism for imperialist purposes.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage's penetrating investigation of the Obama presidency and the national security state. Barack Obama campaigned on changing George W. Bush's "global war on terror" but ended up entrenching extraordinary executive powers, from warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention to military commissions and targeted killings. Then Obama found himself bequeathing those authorities to Donald Trump. How did the United States get here? In Power Wars, Charlie Savage reveals high-level national security legal and policy deliberations in a way no one has done before. He tells inside stories of how Obama came to order the drone killing of an American citizen, preside over an unprecendented crackdown on leaks, and keep a then-secret program that logged every American's phone calls. Encompassing the first comprehensive history of NSA surveillance over the past forty years as well as new information about the Osama bin Laden raid, Power Wars equips readers to understand the legacy of Bush's and Obama's post-9/11 presidencies in the Trump era.
