The book includes analysis of the history, legality, and consequences of violent protest. It explores what the founders contemplated, what has been attempted before, and how those things influence what is playing out now. \u003cbr\u003e Both the Left and Right have some level of insurgency underway and it will be helpful to examine them in that light. It also requires looking at them as unique creations of our current political and cultural climates as well. Even in their extreme positions both still have considerable influence on and acceptance in their larger political movements. \u003cbr\u003e Author Jim Hanson shows how the Left and its shock troops are destructive forces to our Republic. The extremists on the Left share common cause with the current path of the Democrats in a belief that America is a force for evil that must be destroyed and remade in a woke image. The extremists on the Right have elements of anti-government ideology and some do want to destroy the current systems. But they are out of step with the vast majority of conservatives who simply want to reassert the values that have always worked for this country. \u003ci\u003eWinning the Second Civil War \u003c\/i\u003e provides a path to victory to build new political institutions for a stronger Right.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49617063772433,"sku":"GOR013575019","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50405738807569,"sku":"GOR013935784","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764827656465,"sku":"CIN164572042XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417768722705,"sku":"CIN164572042XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/164572042X.jpg?v=1751438737"},{"product_id":"poems-and-prose-poems-book-jim-hanson-9780692640968","title":"Poems and Prose Poems","description":"I started to translate Mallarm 's poems because I wasn't content with the English versions I could find. In translation, poets who preceded and followed Mallarm  are accessible to us. Baudelaire is accessible to us, Apollinaire is accessible to us. I couldn't find a way into Mallarm  in the English versions I found, and I suspected it wasn't his fault. Mallarm  was an English teacher, and he did translations of the poems of his beloved Edgar Allan Poe, in prose, of course. But his poems in French were metrical and rhymed. Sometimes the meaning of his poems is guided, let us say, by the rhyme and meter he chose, ceding the initiative to words as he wrote in Variations sur un sujet. There are alternate homophonic readings of some of his lines as well, that could never be rendered into another language as poetry, only as notes. My inability to reproduce the multiple layers of Mallarm 's poems in French into American verse is a disappointment, but an inevitable one. Those layers rely on sound similarities that aren't available in our language. Most translations of Mallarm  into English rhyme and use traditional meters. This seemed to me to be the wrong approach. We have seen how Mallarm  approached translating Poe, after all. Mallarm  translated this way moves even further away from the meaning of the poem as a second rhyme scheme, this time in English, imposes an alien framework over the poem. These translations, no matter how carefully constructed, often sound academic to me. I come from a poetry tradition that learned a great deal from 20th century French poetry, Apollinaire, Reverdy, Desnos and all the rest of them. Some of the great pleasures in music in 20th century American poetry come from responses to French poetry, for instance, John Ashbery's The Tennis Court Oath, or Charles Olson's Rimbaud takeoff Variations done for Gerald Van Der Wiele, or Ted Berrigan's translations of French poetry in Bean Spasms. Hopefully the music I heard there echoes a little in these versions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50358284517649,"sku":"CIN0692640967G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52946294407441,"sku":"NIN9780692640968","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0692640967.jpg?v=1751009311"},{"product_id":"myth-of-white-fragility-book-jim-hanson-9798673907863","title":"The Myth of White Fragility","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50996832731409,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50996835942673,"sku":"CINB08FKW1XTVVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52322768748817,"sku":"GOR014503711","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816204464401,"sku":"CINB08FKW1XTVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B08FKW1XTV.jpg?v=1751352884"},{"product_id":"mountains-will-never-forget-book-jim-hanson-9781511753258","title":"The Mountains Will Never Forget","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51094050570513,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51094052110609,"sku":"NIN9781511753258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1511753250.jpg?v=1751148852"},{"product_id":"hurricane-tapes-book-jim-hanson-9781494243005","title":"The Hurricane Tapes","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51168791953681,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51168792772881,"sku":"NIN9781494243005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1494243008.jpg?v=1750859702"},{"product_id":"tears-of-time-book-jim-hanson-9781492836483","title":"The Tears of Time","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51192757977361,"sku":"NIN9781492836483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51232704921873,"sku":"GOR005341143","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1492836486.jpg?v=1750758762"},{"product_id":"endless-journey-book-jim-hanson-9781958182048","title":"Endless Journey","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133471387921,"sku":"NLS9781958182048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53689736462609,"sku":"NIN9781958182048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781958182048.jpg?v=1757530882"},{"product_id":"perspectives-book-jim-hanson-9781666777628","title":"Perspectives","description":"Drawing from an interdisciplinary career based upon sociology, Jim Hanson employs poetry to provide perspectives upon the humanities and sciences established in curricula of high education.

His poems sparkle with humanistic insight about the issues of these disciplines and their applications to modern society, such as theological and religious speculation, callings of Buddhism and Taoism, contending philosophies of Sartre and Heidegger, and the environmental crisis. His style varies, from long poems of blank verse narrative to short poems of standard rhyme and meter, in order to use poetry's power to enlighten through figurative language and minimal wordage.
