An indispensable guide to understanding modern warfare, especially the decisions made by politicians and generals?both good and bad. Has any war in history gone according to plan? Monarchs, dictators and elected leaders alike have a dismal record on military decision-making, from over-ambitious goals to disregarding intelligence, terrain, or enemy capabilities. This not only wastes the lives of civilians, the enemy and one’s own soldiers, but also fails to achieve geopolitical objectives, and usually lays the seeds for more wars down the line. Conflict scholar and former soldier Mike Martin takes the reader through the hard, elegant logic to fighting a conclusive interstate war that solves geopolitical problems, and reduces future conflict. In cool and precise prose, he outlines how to orchestrate military forces, from infantry to information, and from strategy to tactics. How to Fight a War explains the unavoidable, yet seemingly elusive, art of using violence to force your enemies to do what you want. It should be read by everyone seeking to understand today’s wars, as well as those wishing to lead us through the coming decades of conflict.Mostra libro
What happens when a philosopher declares war on an artist who once inspired him? In this provocative collection, Friedrich Nietzsche - iconoclast, poet of ideas, and architect of modern existentialism - turns his formidable intellect against Richard Wagner, the composer he once revered. The result is a searing psychological and aesthetic autopsy of genius, decadence, and the struggle between art and truth. Nietzsche’s voice echoes through the ages in The Case of Wagner, a charged and theatrical critique of Wagner’s music, values, and legacy. In Nietzsche Contra Wagner, he deepens the attack, dissecting the moral, cultural, and personal tensions between their divergent paths. The Selected Aphorisms that follow offer piercing reflections on music, morality, truth, and the human spirit—each a spark in Nietzsche’s incendiary philosophy. Written in his unmistakable style - ironic, lyrical, ruthless—these texts mark the culmination of a fractured friendship and the birth of a new philosophical vision. They embody the turmoil of a thinker who challenged the foundations of Western culture, and whose ideas continue to resonate in debates on art, identity, and modernity. Now brought to life in a clear, refined AI narration, this audiobook offers a crisp and immersive experience - faithful to the cadence and clarity Nietzsche’s work demands. Whether you are a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, this journey into Nietzsche’s thought will provoke, challenge, and awaken. Enter the mind of one of history’s most fearless thinkers - press play, and confront the beautiful chaos within.Mostra libro
Director Sam Peckinpah was just starting out when MGM released Ride the High Country in 1962. He was a new kind of director: young, brash, and in a hurry to help the Western "grow up" by treating it with adult themes. Ride the High Country was something new and different, a changing Western to match a changing West. Stars Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea were old hands at this sort of thing. Ride the High Country gave the two veteran actors one last job to do and a chance to go out with some dignity. Ride the High Country helped the genre mature and adapt to turbulent, changing times. It launched Peckinpah's career by invoking the themes of honor, loyalty, and compromised ideals, the destruction of the West and its heroes, and the difficulty of doing right in an unjust world—themes developed to their pinnacle in Peckinpah's later masterpiece, The Wild Bunch.Mostra libro

In this third and final book of The Magus, Francis Barrett turns from magical practice to magical history—presenting a rare and invaluable compendium of the great minds who shaped Western occult philosophy. Book III offers concise biographical accounts of dozens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance adepts, including Zoroaster, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, and more. These are the sages, mystics, alchemists, astrologers, and magicians whose teachings laid the foundation for everything in The Magus. Far more than a bibliography, this is a spiritual lineage—a transmission of ideas and inspiration across generations. By exploring the lives and writings of these visionaries, Barrett reveals the continuity of esoteric wisdom through the centuries and situates his own work within a long tradition of initiates and seekers. Whether you're a student of occult history or a practitioner of the arts, Book III offers insight into the intellectual and spiritual giants upon whose shoulders modern magic stands. Their philosophies echo across time—and this volume preserves their legacy.Mostra libro
