Learning War

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial se libraron muchas y muy variadas batallas, todas ellas brutales, sangrientas y devastadoras, y cada una a su propia manera. Cada batalla tuvo sus victorias y sus derrotas, sus éxitos y sus fracasos. Hubo héroes concretos en ambos bandos, también acciones heroicas de batallones enteros. Hubo hombres que lucharon hasta el final más amargo, y murieron en los embarrados campos de Francia. Sus cuerpos nunca se recuperaron, y los lugares de su descanso eterno permanecieron sin ningún tipo de señal ni recuerdo durante más de un siglo.

Best-selling author David Shields analyzed over a decade’s worth of front-page war photographs from The New York Times and came to a shocking conclusion: The photo-editing process of the “paper of record”, by way of pretty, heroic, and lavishly aesthetic image selection, pulls the wool over the eyes of its readers; Shields forces us to face not only the the media's complicity in dubious and catastrophic military campaigns but our own as well.

El 17 de septiembre de 1862, el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Abraham Lincoln, obtuvo la gran victoria que deseaba desde el estallido de la guerra civil estadounidense, un año antes. Declarar la victoria le daría el respiro político que necesitaba para hacer algo que había estado reflexionando durante algún tiempo: liberar a los esclavos.

The Second World War was one of the most traumatic events in human history. Across the world, existing conflicts became connected, entangling nations in a vast web of violence. It was fought on land, sea, and air, touching every inhabited continent. Over 55 million people died, some of them combatants, some civilians caught up in the violence, and some murdered by their own governments.

When we think of great cultural heroes who gave everything to their country, we think of Joan of Arc. A national hero who, at such a young age, brought France back from the brink of defeat, energized the French army, gave the people a purpose worth fighting for, and ultimately gave everything in her short life. In Joan of Arc: Hero of France, we explore every important detail in the turbulent life of Joan, from her visions as a child to the battles she participated in, all culminating in her everlasting legacy worldwide.

In his 1986 book War Without Mercy, American historian John Dower examines Japanese-American relations during World War II and investigates links between popular culture, stereotypes, and extreme violence. He argues that it was the concept of racism - used equally by both sides - that underpinned the military conflict and led to a particularly brutal war in the Pacific and East Asia.

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general who is credited with The Art of War, a military strategy guide. Its principles are written broadly enough that many of them still apply to non-military struggles today. Below are some of Sun Tzu's timelessly relevant maxims, analyzed and modernized for today's strategic risk management battles.

London-born, Cambridge-trained historian Tony Judt explains how postwar European history reflects the drawn-out consequences of World War II - beginning with Nazi Germany's surrender in 1945 and ending with the collapse of the Soviet Union (1989-91).

Nor had anyone gone to such lengths to argue that Eastern and Western Europe - large nations and small - had a key characteristic in common.

In this award-winning nonfiction work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian John W.

Amidst the brutal and merciless nature of the war, both the Anglo-American allies and the Japanese were fighting for the preservation of their homeland (for both sides viewed the other as an aggressive, conquering power bent on world domination) and the safety of their loved ones.
