  • The Assault on the State - How the Global Attack on Modern Government Endangers Our Future - cover

    The Assault on the State - How...

    What if the state as we know it didn't exist? Our air would be poisonous, our votes uncounted, and our markets dysfunctional. Yet across the world, in countries as diverse as Hungary, Israel, the UK, and the US, attacks on the modern state and its workforce are intensifying. They are morphing into power grabs by self-aggrandizing politicians who attempt to seize control of the state for themselves and their cronies. What replaces the modern state once it is fatally undermined is not the free market and the flowering of personal liberty. Instead, the death of government agencies organized under the rule of law inevitably leads to the only realistic alternative: the rule of men. 
     
     
     
    In The Assault on the State, political scientists Stephen Hanson and Jeffrey Kopstein offer an impassioned plea to defend modern government against those who seek to destroy it. They dissect the attack on the machinery of government from its origins in post-Soviet Russia to the core powers of Western democracy. The dangers of state erosion imperil every aspect of our lives. Hanson and Kopstein outline a strategy that can reverse this destructive trend before humanity is plunged back into the pathological personalistic politics of premodern times.

    Ever wondered about the paths of our ancestors? Wetion (2nd edn) appeals to those open to discovering ways to chart a future using lessons from the past. 
    There’s a part of us all in Addy’s tale. Combining 19 chapters of interconnected short stories with ten scene play, each with its own original song, listeners experience words making history, alongside the drama, tragedies, romance, lessons, lore and more. 
    Addy is the character connecting early human history to the present. Using a DNA test, he establishes the migration routes of the ancestors and conducts an experiment. Using plants gathered from places once inhabited, he concocts a salad. If his theory was correct, consumption would unlock deep memories of ancestors’ past. What follows is a state of altered consciousness too real to be a dream. 
    The highs and lows of 2,000 generations are told in stories revealing the meaning of Wetion. 
    This novel provides a new multimedia experience, is the first of a trilogy and only available in audiobook format. Experimental fiction it is, laced with homage to the bards. 
    Wetion is a 2026 Audie Award entrant for Best Production and Sound Design.

    In the winter of 1944, as the Allies closed in on Nazi Germany from both the west and east, Adolf Hitler’s regime found itself increasingly cornered. Desperate to reverse the tide of the war, Hitler launched one last, audacious offensive: the Battle of the Bulge. Known as Germany’s last major push against the Allied forces, the battle took place in the dense forests of the Ardennes region in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. This surprise attack, initiated on December 16, 1944, was meant to divide the Allied armies, capture vital port cities like Antwerp, and cripple the Allied war effort. In his final attempt to change the course of the war, Hitler gambled everything—hoping to break the deadlock and buy time for his collapsing forces. 
      
    The Battle of the Bulge was an enormous, high-stakes operation that relied on surprise, speed, and overwhelming force. The Ardennes was chosen not only for its strategic location but also because it was considered an unlikely place for a large-scale attack. The Allies, exhausted from months of fighting and underestimating the potential of a German counteroffensive, were caught off guard. The weather, heavy with snow and fog, further complicated the Allied defense and gave the Germans an initial advantage. Hitler believed that a swift, unexpected strike through the dense forests would disorient the Allies, creating confusion and panic, and ultimately forcing a favorable settlement. 
      
    However, this final gamble was doomed to fail. Despite the initial successes of the German forces, the battle’s outcome ultimately hinged on the determination of the Allied soldiers, the rapid mobilization of reinforcements, and the logistical prowess of the Allies.
