Synopsis

Secret Alliances explores the hidden political and military agreements that have significantly influenced global power dynamics and historical events. The book reveals how these covert alliances, often intended to create strategic advantages, have instead led to unforeseen consequences and destabilized the global order. One intriguing fact is that many alliances formed in secrecy to ensure security have paradoxically fostered an environment of mistrust, ultimately increasing the likelihood of conflict.

 
The book begins by tracing the origins of secret alliances from ancient times to the modern era, classifying them by type and exploring the motivations behind their formation. It then examines several case studies, such as those preceding World War I and Cold War-era pacts, to analyze their immediate impacts and long-term repercussions. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how these alliances have affected smaller nations and the complexities of international relations, offering a unique perspective on the dangers of secrecy in shaping the modern world.

 
The book also discusses the legacy of secret alliances in contemporary international relations, addressing challenges to transparency, accountability, and global stability. By drawing on primary source documents and secondary analyses, it provides a comprehensive account of these covert pacts and their role in perpetuating conflict. This approach connects to international law and conflict resolution, offering a balanced assessment of the potential benefits and drawbacks of these hidden agreements.

    "A remarkable inside story of the war from the perspective of the Iraqi Commander-in-Chief. Fascinating, very readable, and recommended." – Jeremy Bowen, BBC Middle East editor
"Impossible Victory is the definitive memoir of Iraq's effort to save its people and many other would-be victims from the most destructive terrorist organisation in history." – Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, former US national security advisor and author of Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World
"This book … casts a historical light on a decisive era." – Jean-Yves Le Drian, French minister for Europe and foreign affairs
***
By 2014, the world had grown weary of Iraq and its troubles. The Americans had all but gone and the media had turned its gaze towards Syria, but Iraq's problems were far from over. That same year, ISIS put Iraq back on the map as they crossed the border from Syria and rampaged through the country, kidnapping, raping and killing, all in the name of enforcing their murderous interpretation of Sharia law.
Terror had arrived and was taking the region in its grip. Saddam Hussein, the occupation, sectarian war, corruption and political instability had collectively laid the groundwork for further violence, and Iraqis were about to see the worst of it.
It was against this backdrop that Haider al-Abadi became Prime Minister. What would likely be the most formidable task of his life lay ahead of him: to help unify his homeland's fractured military and politics and, slowly, to turn the tide on ISIS, ultimately achieving what once seemed an impossible victory.
This is the definitive and fascinating true story of how the people of Iraq took on and eventually defeated ISIS, told by the country's former Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi.

    A love letter to the hard-rocking, but often snubbed, music of the era of excess: the 1980s
		 
There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock ’n’ roll of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.
		 
Time hasn’t always been kind to artists of that gold and platinum era, but Don’t Call It Hair Metal analyzes the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of ’80s commercial hard rock through interviews with members of such hard rock luminaries as Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Ratt, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Guns N’ Roses, Dokken, Mr. Big, and others.

    The Sand Garden by the Sea -...

    Once, in a place called Gaza, Jewish families lived among gardens, vineyards, and the peaceful sound of the sea. It was a land filled with beauty and hope. The Jewish people who lived there loved their homes, their schools, and their neighborhoods. 
In a spirit of peace, the Jews gave this land to their Palestinian neighbors, hoping it would be the beginning of friendship. But sadly, instead of peace, the leaders called Hamas destroyed the gardens and vineyards. They built only concrete walls and hidden tunnels meant to bring harm, not kindness. 
Since then, the people of Israel have not found the peace they offered. On October 7, 2023, a terrible attack brought much sorrow and fear. Since that day, the Jewish people have faced more pain and danger, even though their deepest wish is to live safely and peacefully in their homeland. 
This book was written so children and families around the world will know the story: that the Jewish people long for peace, but their neighbors chose hatred instead of friendship. The author hopes that by remembering the past and telling the truth with gentle hearts, we can all dream of a future where peace and kindness will finally grow again-like gardens by the sea. This book reflects a true story that happened in Gaza when the Jews were forced off of their land as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
