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.

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.

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 ...

Apple isn’t just a brand; it’s the world’s most valuable company and creator of the 21st century’s defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers. Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino’s choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime’s whims.

In June 2023, the Wagner Group assembled an armed convoy that included tanks and rocket launchers and set out on what seemed like a journey to take control of Moscow. The last person to attempt such a venture was Adolf Hitler. Wagner’s power began from patronage, then grew from international theft and extortion, until it was so great it exposed the weakness of Russia’s conventional military and became a threat to the Russian state, one that was not demonstrably eliminated until a private jet containing Wagner’s core commanders was blown up in midair.

This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer.
