    1943: THE TIDE TURNS 
    Volume Five of The Second World War — A Seven-Volume History 
    By bestselling author and historian Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    By the beginning of 1943, the Second World War had reached its decisive moment. The Axis powers had conquered continents and brought much of the world to the edge of darkness. But now the tide was beginning to turn. 
    In the fifth volume of his sweeping seven-part history, Quentin Drummond Anderson tells the dramatic story of the year when Allied survival became Allied momentum. 
    From the frozen ruins of Stalingrad, where the surrender of the German Sixth Army shattered the myth of Wehrmacht invincibility, to Tunisia, where Axis power in Africa collapsed; from the vast armoured battle at Kursk to the invasion of Sicily and the fall of Mussolini — 1943 was the year Hitler's empire began its retreat. 
    At sea, the Allies finally gained the upper hand against the U-boat wolf packs in the Battle of the Atlantic. In the skies, bomber crews fought and died over Europe. In the shadows, the SOE, OSS and resistance networks waged a secret war against occupation. And in the Warsaw Ghetto, a doomed but heroic uprising became one of history's greatest acts of defiance. 
    Across the Pacific, American forces continued the long and bloody advance towards Japan, while at Tehran, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met for the first time to shape both victory and the world that would follow. 
    With the powerful storytelling of The Fearless Fifteen, Lions and Foxes and Warriors of the First Nations, Anderson brings together commanders and ordinary soldiers, grand strategy and human courage, triumph and tragedy. 
    1943 was not the end of the war. It was the year the world discovered how it would end. 
    The tide had turned — and it would not turn back.

    Has Vladimir Putin become the master of the game? Why and how did the Russian President decide to attack Ukraine? Did he seek to prevent Ukraine from associating with Europe? Does he seek to reconstitute the USSR? Did NATO promise not to expand east after 1990? Is the Nord Stream 2 project the sinews of war? Is Ukraine's neutrality the only solution? Has Russia ever lost or won the war?... Based on the files of the intelligence services and official reports, Jacques Baud thus reviews the events of the recent history of Russia, which led to the war with Ukraine; it analyzes the various disputes between the West and Russia, and sheds light on the role that Putin plays today on the international scene. Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017. He is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Putin, Game master?, Governing by Fake News and The Navalny Affair, all published by Max Milo.

    In Search of the Lost Eros is a meditation on love and its challenges in our modern times. This book pairs literary and philosophical quotations from many renowned authors with the author's own reflections trying to create a framework for contemplation on the predicament of love today. What is love, really? What is the cosmic Eros that 'moves the sun and the other stars'? Is this the same love that forms the essence of our deepest being? Is falling in love a form of madness? Is love blind or visionary? Does it inevitably cause suffering? And what about marriage – must we stay together at all costs until death do us part? What are the challenges of sexuality today? What distinguishes erotic art from pornography? These are some of the questions this essay seeks to explore, offering answers that are necessarily incomplete, while hoping to inspire readers to gain their own insights into these inexhaustible topics. Mystics of the major spiritual traditions have always maintained that our spiritual essence is love and that we ultimately cannot lose it. Yet, many modern individuals feel that genuine love is missing from their lives. This book aims to make a modest contribution to rediscovering some of the lost Eros that we all so ardently long for.
