It highlights how the Wall influenced military doctrine and strategic planning in China for centuries. Using archaeological evidence, historical records, and military treatises, the book presents a holistic view of the Great Wall, emphasizing its dynamic role as a symbol of Chinese power and resilience.

This approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of one of the world's most iconic structures within the context of world history and military history.

Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique - cover

Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique

A new account of how Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique for over a decade.Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique — one of the most beautiful countries in the world — for over a decade. The small European nation was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators—every single communist country on the planet and almost all of Black Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end.  Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.

Beauty is a feeling. 
Had we not looked at the rose would it have been beautiful? 
Had the name of rose not been rose but instead it would have been something else then would we have loved it? 
Nothing matters with the name. 
If we look at the rose and say it's beautiful then it becomes beautiful. 
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. 
Whatever creates happiness in our mind that is beautiful. 
All the feelings are being controlled by hormones. So, the feeling of beauty, form, flavour, fragrance, touch, music every feeling is the creation of hormones. In one word we can say everything is illusion.
