"Counter Ambush: The Science Of Training For The Unexpected Defensive Shooting" is the most comprehensive book available to help people to train to survive a deadly surprise attack.

Before the United States became the industrial juggernaut that helped defeat the Axis powers, it stood at a crossroads. Scarred by the trauma of World War I and crushed by the Great Depression, America spent the 1930s looking inward—avoiding foreign entanglements and passing neutrality laws to ensure it stayed out of Europe's next war. America Enters the War: From Isolation to Arsenal of Democracy is the gripping, insightful story of how a hesitant republic transformed into the most powerful engine of victory in modern history.

What began as a scientific breakthrough ended as a blueprint for annihilation. In The Atom Unleashed, James Johnson unpacks the explosive history of nuclear discovery—from Einstein’s quiet equations to Chernobyl’s glowing ruins. This is not just the story of a bomb, but the story of how we turned theoretical physics into geopolitical theology, and how one equation rewrote the rules of power, fear, and what it means to be human. With precision and relentless clarity, JJ turns the nuclear story into a mirror—one that forces us to ask not just what we’ve done, but who we became while doing it.

The American way of war is enabled by the concept of massing all available firepower—when done correctly it makes US forces hard to beat. However improvised explosive devices have increasingly enabled a new kind of asymmetric warfare, one that conventional forces continue to struggle to counter. This book offers a "counter-IED playbook," one based upon the author's experiences of over ninety months of combat operations, working the problem sets of Fires, Effects, IEDs, Close Target Reconnaissance, Tracking-Tagging-Locating (TTL), and Information Operations.

Oorlog is een bijzonder en paradoxaal fenomeen. Het roept tegelijk walging en fascinatie op. Oorlog was een inspiratiebron voor de beste wereldliteratuur én voor de meest afschuwelijke gruweldaden. Eén ding is duidelijk: oorlog is een belangrijke 'vormende' kracht in de geschiedenis. Zo zag de landkaart van Europa er na de Eerste Wereldoorlog totaal anders uit dan ervoor. Complete keizerrijken verdwenen en nieuwe staten werden gevormd. Na 1945 zorgden koloniale en revolutionaire oorlogen voor een geheel andere wereldkaart.

In 2015 Thurlow sparked a rallying cry for activists when she proclaimed at the United Nations, "Humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist."

A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, to newspaper headlines and popular culture. For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill. Much like the wheel, the boat, and the...

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.
