  Why, after over 100 Sigma war games showed us that we could not win, did we still go into Vietnam? Why, if one military doctrine irrefutably indicates that it can succeed time after time, is it not adopted in every military action? Why do warriors hate war? Because their bosses don't understand it. What's the mission? How do we win? What is winning? Bush said that winning was when the major combat operations were ceasing. Maybe so, but knowing how to win a war while striving not to be in one makes a real warrior. Warriors Hate War-Strategy, politicization, successes, and failures of the American military by Glenn Sturm explores the military actions since WW11 through lenses that reveal alternate outcomes and pose frameworks that could inform decision-making for the future of war and, more importantly, peace.

  Caligula - The Cruel...

  Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula, served as the third Roman Emperor from 37 to 41 AD. Born into the illustrious Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was the son of Germanicus, a beloved Roman general, and Agrippina the Elder, Augustus' granddaughter. His lineage placed him firmly within the first reigning family of the Roman Empire, setting the stage for his eventual rise to power. 
  The Roman Empire had already undergone significant transitions by the time Caligula entered the world. Tiberius, his great-uncle, succeeded Augustus as emperor in 14 AD, adopting Germanicus as his son. Caligula’s early years were shaped by the Roman military campaigns under Germanicus in Germania, where he earned the nickname “Caligula,” meaning “little boot,” due to the small military boots he wore as a child during these campaigns with his father’s troops. 
  When Germanicus died under mysterious circumstances in Antioch in 19 AD, Caligula’s family was plunged into turmoil. Agrippina, now a widow, returned to Rome with her six children, only to become embroiled in a bitter conflict with Tiberius. Her family’s tragic fall resulted in the deaths or exile of most of her children, leaving Caligula as the only surviving male. In 26 AD, Tiberius withdrew to the island of Capri, where he lived in seclusion. Caligula followed him in 31 AD, and after Tiberius' death in 37 AD, Caligula ascended to the throne as emperor.

  Vanishing Point - The Search for...

  At the height of World War II, a B-24 Liberator bomber vanished with its crew while on a training mission over upstate New York. The final hours and ultimate resting place of pilot Keith Ponder and seven other US aviators aboard the plane remain mysteries to this day. The tale is at once a compelling instance of loss on the World War II American home front and a more extensive, largely unreported history. Ponder—a twenty-one-year-old from rural Mississippi—and his crew were tragically unexceptional casualties in the monumental effort to recruit and train an air force en masse to counter the global conquest of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. More than fifteen thousand American airmen and, in some cases, women burned, crashed, or fell to their deaths in stateside training accidents during the war—their lives and stories shuffled away in piles of Air Force bureaucracy. 
   
   
   
  The forgotten story of Getaway Gertie was originally inspired by summer evenings around the campfire on the shores of Lake Ontario, where parts of the plane have washed up. Building on those campfire tales, Wilber deftly connects myth with fact and memory with historicity. The result is a vivid portrait of the forgotten soldier of the home front and a new take on the meaning of wartime sacrifice as the last survivors of the Greatest Generation pass away.

  The Fifth History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.
