  The Founding Fathers are often revered as American saints; here are the stories of those Founders who were schemers and scoundrels, vying for their own interests ahead of the nation's.We now have a clear-eyed understanding of Founding Fathers such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton; even so, they are often considered American saints, revered for their wisdom and self-sacrificing service to the nation. However, within the Founding Generation lurked many unscrupulous figures—men who violated the era’s expectation of public virtue and advanced their own interests at the expense of others.The early years of the republic were full of self-interested individuals, sometimes succeeding in their plots, sometimes failing, but always shaping the young nation. A Republic of Scoundrels seeks to re-examine the Founding Generation and replace the hagiography of the Founding Fathers with something more realistic: a picture that embraces the many facets of our nation's origins.

  A definitive history of one of the United States Army's most elite and enduring formations, this book traces the full evolution of the 82nd Airborne Division from its World War I origins to its current role as a rapid-response force. Drawing on rare archival sources and previously unpublished first-hand accounts, it offers a comprehensive portrait of the "All American" Division across more than a century of service.While the division's exploits during World War II—from their first combat operation jumping into Sicily, their role in the airborne assaults in Normandy and at Arnhem, and their part in the Battle of the Bulge—are widely recognized, this book goes far beyond. It explores the 82nd's formation in 1917, its transformation into the Army's first airborne division in 1942, its adaptation to new strategic demands during the Cold War, and the fighting it has undertaken in conflicts from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan.This is not just a history of battles and campaigns—it is a story of the soldiers themselves. Through veterans' voices, after-action reports, and unit records, the book captures the lived experience of paratroopers, from the trenches of the Western Front to twenty-first-century deployments. The result is a richly detailed and authoritative account of the 82nd Airborne Division's combat legacy.

  Geist und Materie Gott und die...

  … "Wenn ich also das Ergebnis meiner Untersuchung in knappster Form zusammenfassen müsste, so ergäbe sich etwa Folgendes: Energie ist eine Urkraft unbekannter Herkunft mit einem ungeheuren Differenzierungspotenzial. 'Tote' wie lebende Materie ist zunehmend raffiniert organisierte Energie. Das organisierende Prinzip ist der Weltgeist, ein grenzenloses abstraktes Potenzial von Kombinationsmöglichkeiten, welche im Lauf der Evolution vom Big Bang bis heute immer differenzierter realisiert und materialisiert worden sind. Aspekte des Weltgeists werden von lebendigen Organismen sukzessive entdeckt und genutzt. Sowohl der Weltgeist wie auch die Energie können wahlweise als göttlichen oder natürlichen Ursprungs aufgefasst werden."
  
  … "So if I had to summarize the result of my investigation in the briefest form, it would be something like the following: energy is a primal force of unknown origin with a tremendous potential for differentiation. 'Dead' and living matter is increasingly sophisticatedly organized energy. The organizing principle is the world spirit, a limitless abstract potential of possible combinations, which has been realized and materialized in an increasingly differentiated way in the course of evolution from the Big Bang to the present day. Aspects of the world spirit are successively discovered and utilized by living organisms. Both the world spirit and the energy can be understood to be either of divine or natural origin."

  Fight for the Final Frontier -...

  Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the nature of strategic competition in space. Today's most pressing security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends those assumed standards of understanding. 
   
   
    
  John Klein provides a solution to reckoning with the many malicious, nefarious, and irresponsible behaviors in the space domain by using the irregular warfare framework. This offers a new paradigm through which one can view and study conflict involving state and non-state actors. A "war" in space will be utterly unlike any that have happened on Earth, though scholars can provide lessons from past conflict to understand the flashpoints in the heavens. 
   
   
    
  Fight for the Final Frontier makes the case that irregular warfare in the space domain is shaped by the fundamental nature of all warfare, along with universal principles of strategy and the essential unity of all strategic experience. Klein outlines the new arenas for battle, new areas of conflict and competition, and the necessary concepts for operating in this bold new frontier.
