Synopsis

Armor Facts presents a comprehensive journey through the evolution of personal protection in combat, from ancient shields to modern body armor. It explores how armor development has shaped warfare, military technology, and societies across centuries. Intriguingly, armor has not only served as a defensive tool but also as a catalyst, driving innovation in weaponry and tactics. The book uniquely examines armor as a dynamic response to the changing realities of conflict, highlighting recurring patterns of innovation and adaptation that readers may find surprising.

 
The book's approach is structured, beginning with early armor forms in ancient civilizations. It progresses through the medieval period, focusing on plate armor's rise and its impact on knightly warfare, before analyzing the effect of gunpowder weapons and the shift to specialized armor in the early modern era. Finally, it delves into the 20th and 21st centuries, examining advancements in materials science and their impact on modern body armor.

 
Armor production has always been a costly endeavor, influencing military budgets and trade networks, and the book explores these economic factors.

    Seeing Red - Russian Propaganda...

    The US media has been tainted with Russian disinformation, but the more significant threat is how the Right has embraced the Russian model of the news media as a vehicle for propaganda. This could not have happened without Donald Trump, who has been aided and abetted by politicians and news outlets that favor persuasion over information. From his inauguration onwards, Trump has shown allegiance to the Kremlin propaganda playbook—he consistently denies reality, amplifies lies, vilifies the free media, and broadcasts disinformation. 
 
 
 
Seeing Red breaks new ground in investigating the scope of Russian disinformation, arguing that key politicians and media outlets in the United States have facilitated the dissemination of Russian propaganda. From the 2020 elections to the Capitol Insurrection to the war in Ukraine, Sarah Oates and Gordon Neil Ramsay examine the penetration of key Kremlin strategic narratives that attempt to project Russian power, blame NATO for Russian aggression, and attack democracy via the US news. Despite knowledge of the risk and resourceful work on tracking down Russian propaganda in the United States, the problem of foreign disinformation continues to this day. As Oates and Ramsay argue, this is in part due to exploitation of the American tradition of free speech and the open nature of the US media system.
