Sinossi

In this Socratic dialogue, the conversation centers on the definition of "sophrosyne," often translated as temperance or moderation. Socrates engages with a young man and his guardian to explore whether this virtue represents quietness, modesty, or self-knowledge. As with many early dialogues, the discussion ends in a state of aporia, or puzzlement, having dismantled all proposed definitions. It serves as an inquiry into the difficulty of defining ethical concepts and the nature of self-control.

    The FSU Scroll - Field Notes...

    Not a memoir, not a manual, not history, and not fiction: this is a scroll. A lived document that uncoils across frostbitten steppe and borderland camps, where drills turn, deals twist, and dignity is held together with duct tape and vodka-stained humor. 
    From Ukraine to Sakhalin, from mud-choked rigs to government saunas, these field-earned ledgers reveal how people survive, adapt, and build in places where permits arrive after the pipelines are already pumping. Some of it reads like farce, some like heartbreak, much like both at once. 
    A generator resurrected with foil and candlelight becomes a choir, a pickup patched with tape and faith passes inspection, and a nation under strain shows a resilience that still shakes the world today. 
    This is not a sober account, but it is an honest one: a record of compromises, improvisations, and grit at the edge of empire, remembering what the spreadsheets never could.

    An incisive, authoritative account of the West's failures in Afghanistan, from 9/11 to the fall of Kabul 
     
     
      
    In 1958, Richard Nixon described Afghanistan as "unconquerable." On August 15, 2021, he was proven right. After twenty years of intervention, US and NATO forces retreated, enabling the Taliban to return to power. Tens of thousands were killed in the long, unwinnable war, and millions more were displaced—leaving the future of Afghanistan hanging in the balance. 
     
     
      
    Leading expert Amin Saikal traces the full story of America's intervention, from 9/11 to the present crisis. After an initial swift military strike, the US became embroiled in a drawn-out struggle to change Afghanistan but failed to achieve its aims. Saikal shows how this failure was underlined by protracted attempts to capture Osama bin Laden, an inability to secure a viable government via "democracy promotion" efforts, and lack of wider strategy in the "war on terror." 
     
     
      
    How to Lose a War offers an insightful account of one of the US's most significant foreign policy failures—and considers its dire consequences for the people of Afghanistan.

    An exhilarating real-life Cold War thriller about the Americans who fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution – then switched sides to try to bring him down
    Back in 1957, Castro was a hero to many in the USA for taking up arms against Cuba's dictatorial regime. Two dozen American adventurers joined his rebel band in the mountains, including fervent idealists, a trio of teens from the Guantánamo Bay naval base, a sleazy ex-con who liked underage girls, and at least two future murderers. Castro's eventual victory delighted the world – but then he ran up the red flag and some started wondering if they'd supported the wrong side.
    A gang of disillusioned American volunteers – including future Watergate burglar Frank Fiorini and journalist Alex Rorke, whose 1963 disappearance remains unsolved – changed allegiances and joined the Cuban exiles, CIA agents and soldiers of fortune who had washed up in Miami ready to fight Castro's regime by any means necessary. These larger-than-life characters wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and went on to be implicated in President Kennedy's assassination, a failed invasion of 'Papa Doc' Duvalier's Haiti and the downfall of Richard Nixon.
    The Cold War had arrived in Miami, and things would never be the same again.
