Summary

The Great War explores the causes, battles, and consequences of World War I, highlighting its lasting impact on the 20th and 21st centuries. It examines the intricate alliances, brutal realities of trench warfare and technological advancements, and the geopolitical and social transformations that followed. The book argues that the war was not merely a military conflict but a catalyst for irreversible changes in the global order, shattering empires and redrawing maps.

 
Before 1914, Europe was a complex web of competing nationalisms and secret treaties, which the book unpacks to explain how a single assassination ignited the war. The book begins by examining the pre-war world and then moves to detailed accounts of major battles before focusing on the aftermath, including the Treaty of Versailles. Through a combination of primary and secondary sources, the book connects military history to political, social, and economic factors.

 
This book offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the human experience of the war, drawing on personal accounts and narratives to bring the conflict to life. It provides a balanced and nuanced account of the war, avoiding simplistic generalizations and acknowledging the diverse perspectives of those who lived through it. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of international relations and the dangers of unchecked nationalism.

Meanwhile, Vi, the cunning CEO of DEJ, Inc., becomes entangled in a manipulative game with Lucas, a man relentlessly pursuing her.

    Retirement homes have long been presented as safe, comfortable spaces where the elderly can receive the care and attention they need. Advertisements and brochures paint a picture of vibrant communities where seniors enjoy social engagement, personalized assistance, and a high quality of life. However, the reality is often far different from the promises made by these facilities. Beneath the polished marketing lies a world filled with hidden fees, chronic understaffing, cases of neglect, and, in some instances, outright abuse. Families who entrust their loved ones to these institutions frequently find themselves disillusioned and powerless when the level of care does not meet expectations.  
  
As the global population ages, the demand for elderly care continues to rise. Many families struggle to provide adequate care for aging relatives due to financial constraints, work obligations, or a lack of medical expertise. This increasing need has turned the elder care industry into a multi-billion-dollar business, where profit often takes precedence over patient well-being. While some retirement homes genuinely strive to offer excellent care, far too many are plagued by systemic issues that compromise residents’ safety and dignity. Reports of malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical supervision are disturbingly common, highlighting the urgent need for greater oversight and reform.  
  
One of the biggest misconceptions about retirement homes is that they provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each resident’s needs. In reality, many facilities operate with skeleton staff, forcing overworked caregivers to juggle multiple responsibilities with little time for individual attention. Underfunding and mismanagement lead to situations where residents’ health deteriorates due to neglect, improper medication administration, and a lack of emotional support.
