  Sparked by the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars became one of the largest European conflicts in history as Napoleon fought to expand his French Empire. The wars were instrumental in the formation of Europe as we know it today, and confirmed Britain's dominance as a seafaring nation. It was a period famous for strategic warfare and cunning battle tactics. From this background emerged Nelson as national hero and politician. The Napoleonic Wars in 100 Facts covers the twenty-five years of war from the 1790s to the final victory in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. Jem Duducu guides us through some of the key figures and their stories, for example Wellington, Napoleon and Nelson, as well some of the major battles and tactics in this era of epic conflict that took British troops to Egypt, Argentina, America and of course a little town in Belgium called Waterloo.

  Why did Ukraine lose the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes were made on both sides? How did the West contribute to Ukraine's defeat? 
  To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western and Russian documents that analyse Russian (and Soviet) strategies and tactics over the last 50 years. He explains how Russia understands and conducts war, and shows how our ignorance of this reality has pushed Ukraine towards defeat. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
  
  Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations. During the Cold War, he worked on Soviet military art and the war in Afghanistan. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, notably after the 2014 Maïdan revolution. In addition to his major works on the conflict in Ukraine, he is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Governing by Fake News, Defeating Jihadist Terrorism and The Navalny Case, all published by Max Milo.

  Machiavellianism - Manipulative...

  Machiavellianism is a philosophy that prioritizes power, strategy, and manipulation over conventional morality. Rooted in the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli, particularly The Prince, this mindset champions pragmatism and cunning as necessary tools for success. Machiavellianism does not concern itself with what is right or wrong in a moral sense; instead, it focuses on what is effective. Those who embrace this approach believe that power is not given but taken, and maintaining it requires calculated decisions rather than ethical considerations. 
  At its core, Machiavellianism operates on the assumption that people are driven by self-interest and can be easily influenced, deceived, or controlled. While traditional morality emphasizes honesty, fairness, and compassion, a Machiavellian sees these values as potential weaknesses when navigating competitive environments. Success, according to this philosophy, is reserved for those who can manipulate perceptions, control narratives, and strategically outmaneuver others. This way of thinking is often observed in politics, business, and personal relationships, where the ability to influence others determines one's level of power. 
  One of the key aspects of Machiavellianism is the belief that the ends justify the means. A leader, politician, or corporate executive following this mindset may employ deceit, flattery, or even betrayal to secure and maintain power. Machiavelli himself argued that rulers must sometimes act immorally for the greater stability of their state. In the modern world, this principle manifests in various ways, from corporate takeovers to political campaigns that use misinformation to sway public opinion.

  Buddhist Reflections on Death

  This is an audiobook of Wheel Publications No. 102/103 Buddhist Reflections on Death by V. F. Gunaratne, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.  
   
  "To most of us, at some moment or another, the spectacle of death must have given rise to the deepest of thoughts and profoundest of questions. What is life worth, if able bodies that once performed great deeds now lie flat and cold, senseless and lifeless? What is life worth, if eyes that once sparkled with joy, eyes that once beamed with love are now closed forever, bereft of movement, bereft of life? Thoughts such as these are not to be repressed. It is just these inquiring thoughts, if wisely pursued, that will ultimately unfold the potentialities inherent in the human mind to receive the highest truths. 
  "According to the Buddhist way of thinking, death, far from being a subject to be shunned and avoided, is the key that unlocks the seeming mystery of life. It is by understanding death that we understand life; for death is part of the process of life in the larger sense. In another sense, life and death are two ends of the same process and if you understand one end of the process, you also understand the other. Hence, by understanding the purpose of death we also understand the purpose of life." 
  —V.F. Gunaratne 
   
  "Buddhist Reflections on Death" is in Volume 8 of The Collected Wheel Publications published by Pariyatti (https://store.pariyatti.org/collected-wheel-publications-bpe) and as a free eBook from the BPS website (https://www.bps.lk/library-search-select.php?id=wh102).
