Synopsis

In "Napoleon's Maxims of War," the legendary French military leader presents a collection of aphorisms that encapsulate his strategic insights garnered from both battlefield experiences and the tumultuous political landscape of his era. Written with a concise yet profound style, the maxims reflect Bonaparte's deep understanding of warfare's complexities, emphasizing principles such as decisive action, adaptability, and the psychological dimensions of leadership. This text serves not only as a tactical guide but also as a historical document, illuminating the military doctrines that shaped modern warfare and exhibiting Bonaparte's gift for distilled wisdom amidst the chaos of conflict. Napoleon Bonaparte, a key figure in European history, rose from modest beginnings to become a military commander and emperor. His experiences during the French Revolution and subsequent campaigns across Europe deeply informed his strategic philosophy, instilling a sense of urgency and clarity that permeates his maxims. Sharing insights drawn from his personal victories and defeats, Bonaparte's work reflects a lifetime dedicated to understanding the mechanics of war and governance, driven by a desire to innovate and dominate. "Napoleon's Maxims of War" is a compelling read for historians, military enthusiasts, and leadership scholars alike. It offers invaluable perspectives on strategy that remain relevant today in various fields beyond the military, from business management to political leadership. Engaging with this text invites readers to reflect on the essence of decision-making under pressure, making it an essential addition to any intellectual library.

    In January 2020, leading epidemiologist Professor Mark Woolhouse learned of a new virus taking hold in China. He immediately foresaw a hard road ahead for the entire world, and emailed the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland warning that the UK should urgently begin preparations. A few days later he received a polite reply stating only that everything was under control. 
     
    In this astonishing account, Mark Woolhouse shares his story as an insider, having served on advisory groups to both the Scottish and UK governments. He reveals the disregarded advice, frustration of dealing with politicians, and the missteps that led to the deaths of vulnerable people, damage to livelihoods and the disruption of education. He explains the follies of lockdown and sets out the alternatives. Finally, he warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must not dither and we must not panic; never again should we make a global crisis even worse. 
     
    The Year the World Went Mad puts our recent, devastating, history in a completely new light.
