Historia
From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

Historia
Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India.

All of the highlights.
Revisado: 01-29-24
This book is great at going in depth on the battlefield prowess and methods Alexander used to defeat his adversaries, especially the Persians, and does not waste time on unnecessarily lengthy explanations of political nonsense. Solid depiction of his campaigns while explaining Macedonian nuances and other necessary details to make the campaign more interesting.

Historia
If anyone could be considered a Russian counterpart to the infamous British double-agent Kim Philby, it was Oleg Gordievsky. The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6.

Amazing story of Cold War spy games

Fantastic account of the difficulties involved in the running of a Soviet KGB spy. Highly recommended as a case study of intelligence operations, and the consequences when they are compromised.

Historia
At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

Difficult to read but most definitely worth every minute. Gives an accurate and detailed account of what it was like to serve in Afghanistan and the bonds that were forged amongst the men who volunteered to go.

For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.

Well-researched and easily digestible.
Revisado: 04-22-23
I've read all of Zeihan's books and this is by far the most down-to-earth and understandable look at how the future will (likely) look after de-globalization. The last chapter about agricultural changes and how that will affect the world shows the stark reality of how amazing the US experiment of globalization has worked in the last 80 years. This book should be mandatory in Agricultural, Political Science, and Economics curriculum in colleges. Solid research and presentation!

I really enjoyed reading this book! If you're a veteran, I think it will speak to you in a more profound way than it will to others. Definitely recommend it for passive reading, and Team Rubicon is a solid organization. Well done.

Historia
In Disunited Nations, geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan presents a series of counterintuitive arguments about the future of a world where trade agreements are coming apart and international institutions are losing their power. Germany will decline as the most powerful country in Europe, with France taking its place. Every country should prepare for the collapse of China, not North Korea. We are already seeing, as Zeihan predicts, a shift in outlook on the Middle East: it is no longer Iran that is the region’s most dangerous threat, but Saudi Arabia.

Historia
In The Accidental Superpower, international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how geography, combined with demography and energy independence, will pave the way for one of the great turning points in history, and one in which America reasserts its global dominance. No other country has a greater network of internal waterways, a greater command of deepwater navigation, or a firmer hold on industrialization technologies than America.

Fantastic data-based analysis of geopolitics.
Revisado: 06-11-22
Should be required reading in high schools, colleges, and military. Smartly written data-analysis of geopolitics without emotional or political bias. Makes you realize everything that is sensationalized in the news (on both sides) is completely wrong and fails to look at the bigger picture.
