However, Hobbes would agree that living under a brutal dictator could lead to the same conditions. This exciting new book from historian Michael Rank looks at the lives and times of the worst dictators in history.

To Provide and Maintain a Navy, a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J. "Jerry" Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a "free sea" gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards.

Slaget om Kiev i efteråret 1941 regnes som tidernes største omringningsslag. Det var et resultat af Hitlers og Stalins stædighed og diskuteres fortsat, trods overraskende lidt akademisk interesse sammenlignet med slagets betydning og omfang. Først og fremmest er slaget det vigtigste eksempel på, hvordan de svage tyske formationer kunne udnytte Stalins lammende effekt på sine underordnede i krigens begyndelse og opnå nogle af verdenshistoriens største militære sejre.

You can be told how to act in a hypercompetitive environment, but it is far more useful to understand why. As a career infantryman with multiple deployments in support of several different campaigns across various continents, Michael Nolan outlines in this book the natural laws that govern how violence works based upon his experience and observations in the field. He also explains the need to integrate and apply both a rational left-brain approach as well as an intuitive right-brain approach in order to achieve success in the hypercompetitive arena of war.

No es de extrañar que los clásicos chinos sobre el arte de la guerra sean tan populares en nuestro tiempo. No es tan solo el hecho de que los chinos, tras siglos de guerras, llegaron a un conocimiento profundo de la estrategia y sus circunstancias, sino la forma en que plasmaron ese conocimiento. Allá donde los manuales occidentales se centraban en las siempre cambiantes armas y tácticas, los autores orientales buscaron una visión más universal de este tema y, al mismo tiempo, más humana.

In the dog days of August 2008, a column of Russian tanks and troops rolled across the Republic of Georgia’s northern border and into South Ossetia, sparking a war that was over almost before it began. The war, while not insignificant, lasted all of five days. The number of casualties did not exceed one thousand, the threshold most political scientists use to classify a war, although thousands of Georgians were displaced. By historical comparison, when Soviet tanks entered Hungary in 1956 and Afghanistan in 1979-89, the fatalities totaled 2,500 and roughly 14,000 respectively.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is one of the oldest known military texts. It’s 13 chapters on strategizing and preparing psychologically for war. This brand new translation from NM Few is fresh and easily digestible.

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly considered to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics of its time. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics, and "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name."

It is not too often one can read or listen to a 2,600-year-old book and know that it still has relevance and importance today. The Art of War has long been considered not only a military classic, but a classic book in general. Sun Tzu’s treatise on various aspects and components of wartime strategy is highly recommended for insight into the Eastern mindset and military planning. It also can apply to business, legal, and educational situations as well.

The rise and fall of the Nazis is given the Animal Farm treatment as the horrors of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich are brought to life using animals as the main protagonists. Aircraft include wasps, U-Boats become 'U-Bugs' and Hitler is a dung beetle. The central events in the history of the Nazi party are illustrated including the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, the battle of Stalingrad and the Final Solution. The book is written in rhyme and tells the tale of how Vermen Dungroll and his Fang Brigade came to power. His repudiation of the Treaty of Surrender, his hatred of ladybirds (the Jewish community), red ants and other undesirables. It shows how his political opponents were crushed and how he consolidated his power; rebuilt his country and expanded his empire. His revolutionary fighting methods see his swarms conquer much of western Entom; the soaring achievements peak and then the reversal begins.

Of all the generals in the ancient world, none matches the accomplishments of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Hannibal of Carthage. Whatever their backgrounds, these rulers showed that the right military commander at the right time in history can destroy an empire, change civilization, and alter the course of world history forever.

Today, Chechnya is a republic with some degree of autonomy in the contemporary Russian Federation. The majority of Chechnya’s population is comprised of Sunni Muslims, meaning religion has played a key role in the territory’s development. Wedged in the North Caucasus mountain range and bordering the Caspian Sea, Dagestan is a true meeting point of cultures, religions and geopolitical rivalries. A crossroad between east and west, Dagestan has been vitally important at different times for various powers in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
