Summary

Colonial War Facts explores the wars that defined the era of colonial expansion, revealing their profound impact on today's geopolitics, socio-economic systems, and cultural identities. Understanding these conflicts is crucial for grasping world history and the roots of international relations. The book examines the motivations, strategies, and long-term consequences of colonial wars for both colonizers and the colonized, challenging narratives of inevitable Western progress.

 
The investigation spans from the 15th to the 20th centuries, initially defining colonial warfare and distinguishing it from other conflicts. Major sections then delve into case studies from Africa, Asia, and the Americas, offering detailed accounts of key battles and the involvement of local populations. It's unique in that it offers a comparative analysis of colonial wars across different regions and empires, exposing both shared patterns and unique characteristics.

 
The book concludes by analyzing the lasting legacies of these wars, including territorial disputes and economic inequalities, and how lessons learned can apply to contemporary conflict resolution. Supported by primary source accounts and statistical data, Colonial War Facts provides a comprehensive analysis useful for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the roots of current global issues.

    Free for All? ISPI Report 2026

    The ISPI Report 2026 portrays a world of "anything goes": a world that seems to have lost its brakes, its rules, and its compass. Donald Trump's return to the White House has accelerated the deregulation of global coexistence, at a time when the post-Cold War order is crumbling without any credible alternative taking shape. In this context, the likelihood of major conflicts is rising, diplomacy is often understood as coercion, alliances have become more fluid, and multilateral institutions are increasingly weakened.
From the arms race to the climate crisis, from the fragmentation of trade to technological competition, this Annual Report provides an essential lens for understanding why freedom without rules risks turning into permanent disorder.

    When he woke up in jail in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2015, Tim Murtaugh had no way of knowing he'd be a senior leader on the reelection campaign for the president of the United States less than four years later. 
 
 
 
What began as a form of high school amusement quickly became an addiction, which over decades would lead Murtaugh to the edge of ruin. Able to beat the disease of alcoholism only under the threat of losing everything, and with the support of a loving wife and family, Murtaugh managed to recover, revive his career, and make it to the top of the political world. 
 
 
 
Travel along on the 2020 Trump campaign as Murtaugh shares stories—never published before—from his two years as communications director, navigating a hostile media, the COVID-19 pandemic, highly anticipated debates, Election Day 2020, January 6, and life on the most-watched political campaign in world history. 
 
 
 
Swing Hard in Case You Hit It is a redemption story unlike any other—from being on the verge of complete self-destruction to flying on Air Force One with President Donald J. Trump—that doesn't come with a happy Hollywood ending.

    22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.

    A concise, accessible overview of pragmatism, the most influential school of American philosophical thought. 
 
 
 
Pragmatism, America's homegrown philosophy, has been a major intellectual movement for over a century. Unlike its rivals, it reaches well beyond the confines of philosophy into concerns and disciplines as diverse as religion, politics, science, and culture. In this concise, engagingly written overview, John R. Shook describes pragmatism's origins, concepts, and continuing global relevance and appeal. With attention to the movement's original thinkers—Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Herbert Mead—as well as its contemporary proponents, he explains how pragmatism thinks about what is real, what can be known, and what minds are doing. And because of pragmatism's far-reaching impact, Shook shows how its views on reality, truth, knowledge, and cognition coordinate with its approaches to agency, sociality, human nature, and personhood.

    In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. When he fought as a member several Boer commandos, he made full use of these skills and the endurance he acquired during the war.  
He was involved in major actions, such as the Battle of Spion Kop, and he interacted with prominent political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener.  
Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with Smuts after the war, one built one reciprocal respect. 
Commando is more than a historical document. With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity, transcending time. 
As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
