China War

While Admiral Dan Lenson motorcycles across a post-Armageddon US in search of his missing daughter, his wife, Blair Titus, lands in a spookily deserted, riot-torn Beijing to negotiate the reunification of Taiwan with the rest of China and try to create a democratic government.

Andres Korzenowski, a young case officer, must decide whether ex-SEAL Master Chief Teddy Oberg - now the leader of a ruthless jihad - should be extracted, left in place, or terminated.

Since the 1950s, China has used the gifting of soccer stadiums throughout the world (known as stadium diplomacy) as a means of propaganda and influence peddling. This is especially the case on the continent of Africa. The practice has largely been overlooked as a curiosity until recently when it was linked to the People's Republic of China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Chinese Soccer Stadium Diplomacy is used to export the game's virtue while creating debt traps and concessions where strongarmed leaders have photo ops with soccer stars all the while being forced to give up ...

Scions of a once-great southern Chinese family that produced the tutor of the last emperor, Jun and Hong were each other’s best friends until, in their twenties, they were separated at the end of the Chinese Civil War. One became a model Communist, the other a model capitalist. On Taiwan, Jun married a Nationalist general, established a trading company, and emigrated to the United States. On the Communist mainland, Hong built her medical career under a cloud of suspicion about her family and survived two waves of “re-education” before she was acclaimed for her achievements.

In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, Trading with the Enemy examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979.

Australians in the Battle of the Atlantic, 1940-41. This book is a description of the service in early World War II of the armed merchant cruiser, HMS Arawa, when Allan's great-uncle, Bobby Forbes, was on board. The armed merchant cruisers were an interim measure by the British Admiralty pending the delivery of greater numbers of light cruisers to the British Royal Navy. They were, in effect, sacrificial lambs. As converted ocean liners, they were slow; lacked the armour protection afforded to warships; were hastily fitted with 6-inch un-turreted guns that dated from before World War I; and...

Many people will remember Eric Liddell as the Olympic gold medalist from the Academy Award-winning film Chariots of Fire. Famously, Liddell would not run on Sunday because of his strict observance of the Christian Sabbath, and so he did not compete in his signature event, the 100 meters, at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was the greatest sprinter in the world at the time, and his choice not to run was ridiculed by the British Olympic committee, his fellow athletes, and most of the world press.

This book presents a comprehensive history of the existential war waged between the Anglo-Dutch imperial system and what became known as the American System of political economy ever since the creation of the predatory British and Dutch East India Companies.

The book documents ...
