    - The War in the Air: The early 20th century marked a transformative period in military history, where the introduction of flight reshaped the very nature of warfare. Prior to this, battles were fought on the ground and at sea, with strategy revolving around infantry, artillery, and naval power. However, as aviation technology advanced rapidly, it presented military commanders with new opportunities and challenges that would forever alter how conflicts were conducted. 
    - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II. These men and women were not only warriors of the sky but also icons of an evolving form of combat that would change the course of modern warfare.

    At 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time on election night 1988, NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw informed the country that they would soon know more about the outcome of "one of the longest, bloodiest presidential campaigns that anyone can remember." It was a landslide victory for George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, and yet Bush would serve only one term. The 1988 presidential race quickly receded into history, but it was marked by the beginning of the modern political sex scandals, the first major African American presidential candidacy, the growing power of the religious right, and other key trends that came to define the elections that followed. Bush's campaign tactics clearly illustrated the strategies and issues that allowed Republicans to control the White House for most of the 1970s and 1980s, and the election set the stage for the national political advent of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. 
     
     
     
    Robert L. Fleegler's narrative history of the 1988 election draws from untapped archival sources and revealing oral history interviews to uncover just how consequential this moment was for American politics. Identifying the seeds of political issues to come, Fleegler delivers an engaging review of an election that set a template for the political dynamics that define our lives to this day.

    Creating the Modern Army -...

    The modern US Army was largely created in the years between the two world wars. Prior to World War I, officers in leadership positions were increasingly convinced that building a new army could not take place as a series of random developments but had to be guided by military policy. In 1920, Congress accepted that idea and embodied it in the National Defense Act. In doing so it also accepted army leadership's idea of entrusting America's security to the Citizen Army, and tasked the nation’s Regular Army with developing and training that force. Creating the Modern Army details the efforts of the Regular Army to do so in the face of austerity budgets and public apathy while simultaneously responding to the challenges posed by the new and revolutionary mechanization of warfare. 
     
     
     
    In this book Woolley focuses on the development of what he sees as the four major features of the modernized army that emerged due to these efforts. 
     
     
     
    The US Army that fought World War II was clearly a citizen army whose leadership was largely trained within the framework of the institutions of the army created by the National Defense Act. The way that army fought the war may have been less decisive and more costly in terms of lives and money than it should have been. But that army won the war and therefore validated the citizen army as the US way of war.

    ADULT ADHD 
    In a world built for, by, and around neurotypical adults, people with neurodevelopmental disorders often struggle to cope. The onus is always on those on the margins to understand and fit in with a world that makes little sense to them. 
    The scientific and the psychiatric community do not yet understand much of the intricacies of mental health. For example, ADHD was not recognized as a mental disorder until the 1960s. Research on the disorder has come a long way, but many hurdles are yet to be crossed. It is the goal of this book to help better educate people specifically about Adult ADHD. 
    Ultimately, this book aims to bring help to the 4.4% of adults in the US struggling with adult ADHD. Inside, it will provide you with information about the symptoms of ADHD; how you will be diagnosed when you visit a medical professional; how well adult ADHD can be managed; and the self-help and alternative strategies available to you for managing ADHD as an adult. 
    Do you personally live with ADHD as an adult? Or perhaps you suspect you might, but haven't been officially diagnosed? Or yet still, do you live or work with someone dealing with ADHD? 
    If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above questions, this book is for you!
