  Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

  Romulus is Jacob Abbott's "Makers of History" series explores the legendary founding of Rome through the life of its first king, Romulus. First published in 1852, the biography serves as an introduction to Roman history, blending ancient mythology, folklore, and early historical records.    Abbott reconstructs the semi-mythological era of early Italy, guiding readers through the dramatic stories that shaped the foundation of the Roman Empire. The narrative covers the legendary origins of Rome and the consolidation of its early power:    The Cadence of Early Italy: The book opens with the ancient geography of Italy and the background of Alba Longa, setting the political stage before Rome existed.    The Wolf and the Twins: Abbott recounts the famous legend of Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, their abandonment in the Tiber River, their miraculous survival by a she-wolf, and their upbringing by shepherds.    The Foundation of Rome: The narrative details the building of the city walls on the Palatine Hill, the fierce argument between the brothers, and the tragic death of Remus at the hands of Romulus.    The Asylum and the Outlaws: To populate his new city, Romulus opens Rome as an asylum for fugitives, outlaws, and runaway slaves, creating a rough and fiercely loyal community.    The Rape of the Sabine Women: Abbott explores the famous conflict where the early Romans, lacking wives, abduct women from the neighboring Sabine tribe during a festival, which leads to a massive war.    The Union and the Disappearance: The book finishes with the peace treaty that united the Romans and Sabines under joint rule, Romulus's long reign, and his mysterious disappearance during a violent storm, leading Romans to believe he ascended to heaven as the god Quirinus.

  The Security Side of Gulf...

  The GCC states are adapting defence strategies to the challenges raised by their "Visions", their post-hydrocarbon national plans. Far from being just economic programmes, the Visions are broad national transformation platforms displaying also a security dimension, and with many security implications. New cities and industrial poles, infrastructures, mega events and tourism raise unprecedented security risks, at which the GCC states are answering through a combination of economic-oriented foreign policy, multipolar international alliances, and ambitions towards "defense autonomisation". What are the Visions' security dimensions and implications, and how does the post-oil path affect and reshape foreign policies?
  This Report analyses how GCC states are adapting deterrence and defence tools to the connectivity age, navigating a troubled neighbourhood of both conventional and asymmetric threats. In a central but more vulnerable Gulf, how may the EU and NATO accommodate transformations in GCC states' defense policies, postures, and means, to support their own security?
