Summary

In "The Making of a Modern Army and its Operations in the Field," René-Louis-Jules Radiguet delivers a comprehensive exploration of military organization and tactics during a transformative period in European history. Through meticulous analysis and vivid descriptions, Radiguet employs a clear, authoritative literary style that seamlessly blends historical narrative with detailed operational accounts. This work not only examines the evolution of military structures but also situates these developments within the broader context of sociopolitical changes in the early 20th century, thereby illuminating the complexities of modern warfare. Radiguet, a keen observer of military affairs, draws from his own experiences and the research of his contemporaries to investigate the strategies that shaped modern armies. His background in military studies and analyses of conflicting ideologies informs his perspective, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how technological advancements and theoretical innovations influenced the operational capacities of contemporary forces. His deep-seated interest in the interplay between warfare and society resonates throughout the text. This book is highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of military history, as well as those interested in the intricacies of modern warfare. Radiguet's insightful analysis not only enhances the reader's knowledge but also provokes critical reflections on the legacy of military operations that continue to impact global interactions today.

    Ukraine and the Art of Strategy

    The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion. Ukraine suffered a loss of territory but was not forced into changing its policies away from the Westward course adopted as a result of the EuroMaidan uprising of February 2014. President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage. 
 
 
 
Ukraine and the Art of Strategy provides an account of the origins and course of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through the lens of strategy. Lawrence Freedman describes the development of President Putin's anxieties that former Soviet countries were being drawn towards the European Union, the effective pressure he put on President Yanokvych of Ukraine to turn away from the EU, and the resulting "EuroMaidan Revolution" which led to Yanukovych fleeing. He explores the reluctance of Putin to use Russian forces to do more that consolidate the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine, the failure of the Minsk peace process, and the limits of the international response. Putin's strategic-making is kept in view at all times, including his use of "information warfare" and attempts to influence the American election.

  • Discovering the True Self - Kodo Sawaki's Art of Zen Meditation - cover

    Discovering the True Self - Kodo...

    "You can't see your true Self. [But] you can become it. Becoming your true Self is zazen." 
 
 
 
As an orphan in the slums of Tsu City, Japan, Kodo Sawaki had to fight his way to adulthood, and became one of the most respected Zen masters of the twentieth century. He had a great understanding of Dogen Zenji's teaching and he knew how to express Dogen's philosophy. Sawaki's primary mission was to bring all people to an awareness of the Self, which he believed came through Zen meditation. 
 
 
 
His humor and straightforward talk garnered Sawaki followers from all walks of life. Though he remained poor by choice, he was rich in spirit. Two of his students who became known in America as well as in Japan were Kosho Uchiyama, abbot of Antaiji Temple and author of Opening The Hand of Thought, and Gudo Nishijima, Zen teacher and translator of Dogen's Shobogenzo. 
 
 
 
A student of Kosho Uchiyama, Arthur Braverman has compiled an anthology of Sawaki's writings and a garland of sayings gathered from throughout his lifetime. One of a few collections of Sawaki's teachings published in English, his life and work bracket the most intriguing and influential period of modern Zen practice in Japan and America.
