For listeners of Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs and Chris Miller’s Chip War, a riveting look at how Apple helped build China’s dominance in electronics assembly and manufacturing only to find itself trapped in a relationship with an authoritarian state making ever-increasing demands.

An intimate and masterful biography of Zbigniew Brzezinski—President Carter’s national security advisor and one of America’s leading geopolitical thinkers—from one of the finest columnists and political writers at work today.

Drive through rural America and you’ll see small town after small town empty and decaying. As you drive past the abandoned manufacturing plants and shuttered Victorian homes once inhabited by its workers and executives, you can picture what the town was like forty years ago. A thriving community where the company president and assembly line worker went to the same church and whose children went to the same school.

The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

Ground Combat reveals the gritty details of land warfare at the tactical level and challenges today's overly subjective and often inaccurate approaches to characterizing war. Ben Connable's motivation for writing the book is to offer an evidence-based approach to examining the future of war.

Shannon Monaghan follows a core group of Western volunteers in Ukraine, fighting together from the early battle for Kyiv through to the last stands at Severodonetsk and Bakhmut. They arrived alone, but became a family—back when nobody bothered to learn names, because they all expected to die. These men knew they'd be fighting without the NATO support they were used to. They knew the danger they faced, and how they might be criticized for fighting someone else's war. But they also knew it was the right thing to do. This is their story.

What if the worst mistakes in history weren’t just accidents—but lessons for today? History’s Greatest Mistakes takes you on a gripping journey through ten pivotal moments that shaped the world—not because they went right, but because they went spectacularly wrong.

Each chapter explores: A turning point in...

Trump Unyielding: The Quest for America’s 47th Presidency is not just a biography, it’s a chronicle of resilience, leadership, and transformation. Donald J. Trump, now elected as the 47th President of the United States, embodies ambition and bold leadership, using his "Art of the Comeback" to reclaim the White House and redefine American politics. This compelling story follows Trump’s journey from his early days in Queens to his rise as the "King of Debt," turning a $9 billion deficit into a $10 billion empire. It delves into his presidency, where his bold America First doctrine ...

Palestina, escribió Mahmoud Darwish, quien fue considerado el poeta nacional de ese pequeño pero importantísimo pueblo, “es el corazón del Medio Oriente y el centro de la lucha por la justicia y la dignidad humanas". Hoy más que nunca, el lector desea conocer la compleja historia de esta nación repartida geográficamente en dos porciones, a fuerza de las circunstancias —la Franja de Gaza y el Banco Occidental, también llamado Cisjordania. El 7 de octubre de 2023, la organización terrorista Hamas lanzó desde Gaza un brutal ataque contra civiles israelíes, creando escenas dignas...

Widely regarded as a classic on the Vietnam War, Decent Interval provides a scathing critique of the CIA's role in and final departure from that conflict. Still the most detailed and respected account of America's final days in Vietnam, the book was written at great risk and ultimately at great sacrifice by an author who believed in the CIA's cause but was disillusioned by the agency's treacherous withdrawal, leaving thousands of Vietnamese allies to the mercy of an angry enemy.

Iran presents one of the most significant foreign policy challenges for America and the West, yet very little is known about what the country's goals really are. Vali Nasr examines Iran's political history in new ways to explain its actions and ambitions on the world stage, showing how, behind the veneer of theocracy and Islamic ideology, today's Iran is pursuing a grand strategy aimed at securing the country internally and asserting its place in the region and the world.

A forceful and clarifying challenge to conventional accounts of geopolitics, Near and Far Waters offers an accessible introduction to the combination of economic and political relations that are the reason behind, and the result of, the development of seapower to control near waters and project force into far waters.

En el año 2000, el libro Plan Colombia La paz Armada, de Kintto Lucas, señalaba que en pocos años el conflicto interno colombiano entraría en una fase desconocida, en la cual se aplicarían bombardeos selectivos a campamentos guerrilleros y se involucraría a Ecuador en lo que denominó un Kosovo andino. Cuando Lucas en una entrevista le planteó a Raúl Reyes la hipótesis de los bombardeos selectivos, el líder de las FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) dijo que era imposible utilizar esa tecnología en la selva colombiana donde se movía la guerrilla. Ocho años ...

Palestine will be the Vietnam of the new generation. Like Vietnam, it will not change global geopolitics, because it will follow other paths, but it will change the way a generation perceives the dominant narrative. The radical change will take longer and will come with the new geopolitical balance or imbalance starting in the middle of this century. Currently, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is another of those urgent objectives before losing absolute control.

La hegemonía cultural de la izquierda hace que te puedan llegar a quitar la vida por llevar unos tirantes con la bandera de tu país, que solo haya cómicos de izquierda, que no puedas decir que votas a ciertos partidos, o que yo tenga que cobijarme bajo seudónimo para no perder el trabajo. Es a lo que yo llamo “Dictadura Progre”, un statu quo de mordaza que denota que vivimos en un país ideológicamente enfermo. El pensamiento único se ha impuesto así hasta estigmatizar con insultos (fascista, ultraderecha, neoliberal, facha…) toda idea alternativa. Este manual responde a muchas...

En diciembre de 2007, Kintto Lucas vaticinó en un artículo que el líder tupamaro José Mujica sería el candidato presidencial del Frente Amplio en 2009 y seguramente el nuevo Presidente de Uruguay. Como en otras reflexiones, Lucas adelantó lo que ocurriría tiempo después y provocó incredulidad en politólogos y políticos que luego reconocieron su capacidad de análisis. El proceso que lleva a José Mujica a ser primero candidato a la presidencia y luego Presidente de la República, tuvo en Lucas al analista certero y profundo sin dejar a un lado su compromiso y su honestidad de ...

Zbigniew Brzezinski was a political strategist who rose to prominence as an intellectual architect of US foreign policy during the Cold War. As National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter and a trusted advisor to US presidents from John F. Kennedy onwards, Brzezinski’s expertise helped shape global strategy at critical moments—most significantly as a key figure in the downfall of the Soviet Union.
