  The Empire Strikes Back - A...

  World War I, as history remembers it, was a devastating conflict that shaped the course of the 20th century. The traditional narrative of the war sees the Central Powers, led by Germany, ultimately defeated by the Allied Forces, marking the end of imperial dominance in Europe and the beginning of new political landscapes. But what if this outcome had been reversed? What if Germany, instead of succumbing to the weight of its enemies, had emerged victorious? This book explores that alternative history, where Germany’s triumph in World War I reshapes the world in profound ways. 
  The notion of a world where Germany won the Great War requires us to look back at the pivotal moments that led to its original defeat. From strategic blunders to the involvement of the United States and internal collapses in both Germany and its allies, each aspect of the war’s history played a role in its outcome. But what if the pivotal battles, such as the Battle of the Marne, had unfolded differently? What if Germany had made different strategic decisions on the Eastern and Western fronts? What if the United States had remained neutral throughout the conflict? 
  In this alternate timeline, the victory for Germany would not just be the result of better tactics or military superiority but also of political maneuvering, technological advancements, and psychological warfare. A victorious Germany would have led to a drastically different post-war landscape, one where the German Empire’s power extends beyond Europe, influencing global politics and economics for decades to come.

  A Book About Books - Volume I of...

  E. H. Bernstein

  • 0

  This book is Volume I of a three volume book plus accompanying website, www.bookaboutbooks.com, which adds to subjects already in the book or presents some books and subjects not contained in the books. The other volumes are available from the same booksellers as this volume. Note this 2024 publication date is a corrected version of the original version of this volume published in 2018. 
  A Book about Books discusses what nonfiction books and subjects the author believes are important to know about. This book tries to point to problems in how we live and to see if books have any answers. Even though the books are complete, the author will update the website periodically in the future. 
  E. H. Bernstein is a former librarian turned author. The subtitle of the book describes the author's objective: "A handbook in three volumes to a choice of essential books, writers and subjects in order to understand the world we live in, about 'big questions' and possible answers, about books and writers that may improve people's lives, about neglected writers, and other books and subjects." 
  A Book about Books attempts to share what the author has learned from nearly 50 years of nonfiction reading and to provide the reader with samples of the most important authors and subjects from that reading. 
  While the book is based on research, it is intended to be a handbook or guide by trying to make that research understandable to the general reader and to students, and for teachers--by pointing to what the author believes is missing from today's education. A curriculum proposal for college teachers is on the website. 
  Note about how the volumes are related: each chapter is on a separate subject. So the chapters can be read individually, but the full message requires reading all the volumes. Volume I is important, but preliminary to the more important Volumes II and III. Note also that the book is not just about books, since other sources are also mentioned. 
  The author believes we should listen to many voices, so the book draws on many types of writers from different times and countries. 
  The author says: A contemporary writer once said that one of the purposes of writing is that books should be useful. I hope that my book will be of use.

  Unite and Conquer - How to Build...

  Old-school divide-and-conquer tactics—demonizing opponents, frightening voters, refusing to compromise—may make us feel good about the purity of our ideals, but it's no way to get anything done. Worse, this approach betrays some of the most cherished ideals of the progressive movement: inclusion, reason, justice, and hope. Illuminated by examples from her own work and a host of campaigns across the country, Kyrsten Sinema shows how to forge connections—both personal and political—with seemingly unlikely allies and define our values, interests, and objectives in ways that broaden our range of potential partners and expand our tactical options. With irreverent humor, enthralling campaign stories, and solid, practical advice, Sinema enables us to move past “politics as war” and build support for progressive causes on the foundation of our common humanity.

  Clausewitz - The Prussian...

  Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist, remains one of the most influential figures in the study of warfare. Born in 1780 in Prussia, Clausewitz entered the military at a young age, where he quickly distinguished himself as a talented strategist and thinker. His career spanned the Napoleonic Wars, where he gained practical experience in the field, as well as in the more reflective study of military theory. His best-known work, On War (Vom Kriege), has been regarded as a cornerstone of modern military thought, delving deeply into the nature of war, its relationship with politics, and the importance of understanding its unpredictable and often chaotic character. 
  Clausewitz’s career was marked by his involvement in some of the most significant military campaigns of his time, including those against Napoleon Bonaparte. His firsthand experiences with the brutality and unpredictability of warfare informed much of his thinking, and it is within this context that he formulated his theories about war. One of his most famous assertions, "War is merely the continuation of politics by other means," encapsulates his belief that military conflict is inherently connected to political objectives, and that military strategy cannot be understood in isolation from the larger goals of a nation.
