Defenseless America

Hudson Maxim

Beschreibung

In "Defenseless America," Hudson Maxim presents a provocative and prescient examination of the vulnerabilities that America faces in a changing world. Written during the early 20th century and characterized by its incisive rhetoric and logical reasoning, the book delves deep into military preparedness and national security, arguing for the necessity of an advanced defense strategy. Maxim effectively combines a mix of historical analysis and speculative foresight, critiquing complacency in a time of growing international threats while drawing on examples from past conflicts to underscore his assertions. Hudson Maxim, a prominent American inventor and a passionate advocate for military reform, brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to this work. His background as an artillery expert and his involvement in munitions development lend authority to his arguments, as he implores his nation to be vigilant in the face of external aggressions. This work is informed by the tumultuous context of World War I, during which America grappled with its position and responsibilities on the world stage. "Defenseless America" is a must-read for those interested in military history, national security, and the evolution of American defense policy. Maxim's compelling arguments challenge readers to consider the implications of national vulnerability and the moral imperative of preparedness, making it a timeless call to action for citizens and policymakers alike.

A. A. Milne

With characteristic self-deprecating humour, A.A. Milne recalls the formative events of his life: from a blissfully happy childhood to the writing of Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin. 
 
––––––––––––– 
 
In his classic memoirs A. A. Milne, with his characteristic self-deprecating humour, recalls a blissfully happy childhood in the company of his brothers, and writes with touching affection about his father whom he adored. 
 
From Westminster School he won a scholarship to Cambridge University where he edited the university magazine, Granta. He then went out into the world, determined to be a writer. He was assistant editor at Punch Magazine and enjoyed great success with his novels, plays and stories. And of course he is best remembered for his children's novels and verses featuring Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin. 
 
This is both an account of how a writer was formed and a charming period piece on literary life – Milne met countless famous authors including H. G. Wells, J. M Barrie of Peter Pan fame and Rudyard Kipling.

Gerontocracy in America - How...

Samuel Moyn

A leading social critic identifies our least-discussed major crisis, and sets out to solve it.As Americans debate President Biden’s infirmities and President Trump’s erratic behavior, we’ve neglected the bigger problem before us: a massive transfer of power and wealth to the oldest among us, and the curtailment of the prospects of the young. In Gerontocracy in America, the historian and social critic Samuel Moyn offers a piercing diagnosis of our age divide and its consequences. Even apart from the presidency, in legislatures, businesses, and the courts, the average leader’s age has risen dramatically. The elderly predominantly fund campaigns and dominate their agendas, often with the intent to block any challenge to their status. The tax code is rigged on their behalf, as is an economy geared to sheltering financial and housing assets. The United States was founded on the promise of generational renovation but has become an increasingly febrile country of old men.But it doesn’t need to be this way. With understanding and wit, Moyn shows how elder power can be dismantled. With strong safety nets in place, mandatory retirement ages can be established. The early transfer of assets between generations could be encouraged and young voters can be granted more voice. In such a world, the elderly themselves would be freed from power games to confront the existential opportunities of aging, while the young would find their path to starting out in life unblocked at last.
