En el convulso siglo XVII, entre guerras civiles, revoluciones y disputas religiosas, John Locke se convirtió en una de las mentes que mejor entendió —y mejor discutió— el precio de la autoridad y el valor de la libertad. Este libro recorre su vida y su obra desde dentro: su formación, su giro médico-científico, su cercanía al poder, el exilio y la escritura que lo consagró como padre del empirismo moderno y del pensamiento liberal. Esta novena entrega explora también sus zonas grises: los límites de su tolerancia, la centralidad de la propiedad y la parte incómoda del colonialismo.

On November 4, 1791, a coalition of warriors determined to set the Ohio River as a permanent boundary between tribal lands and White settlements faced an army led by Arthur St. Clair—the resulting horrific struggle ended in the greatest defeat of an American army at the hands of Native Americans. The road to the battle of the Wabash began when Arthur St. Clair was appointed to lead an army into the heart of the Ohio Indian Confederacy while building a string of fortifications along the way. He would face difficulties in recruiting, training, feeding, and arming volunteer soldiers.

In The Real Men in Black, Bastian Locke peels back the layers of myth, media, and mystery to uncover ten defining facts about these shadowy figures. From the first frightened whispers of Albert Bender in the 1950s, to the pulp sensationalism of Gray Barker, to reports of bizarre behaviour that makes them seem “not quite human,” the book explores the origins, evolution, and meaning of the Men in Black legend.
