A Fleet in Being: Notes of Two Trips With The Channel Squadron - Exploring Naval Adventures: Insights from the Channel Squadron with Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling

Beschreibung

In "A Fleet in Being: Notes of Two Trips With The Channel Squadron," Rudyard Kipling presents a compelling blend of travelogue and naval chronicle, where vivid descriptions and keen observations illuminate the life aboard British warships during the early 20th century. Written in Kipling's characteristic prose style, rich with metaphor and intricate detail, the work captures the essence of maritime existence, exploring themes of honor, duty, and the interplay between humanity and the sea. Seen within the context of Britain's imperial ambitions, this book serves as both a celebration of naval prowess and a poignant reflection on the toll of military endeavors. Rudyard Kipling, a Nobel Prize-winning author renowned for works such as "The Jungle Book" and "Kim," was deeply influenced by his own upbringing in colonial India and his experience as a war correspondent. His fascination with imperialism and military life led him to join the Channel Squadron, allowing him to intimately observe the naval world. Kipling's unique perspective as an observer-turned-participant lends credibility and authenticity to his accounts while showcasing his deep-seated appreciation for the British Navy's role in shaping national identity. Recommended for both Kipling enthusiasts and readers intrigued by naval history, "A Fleet in Being" invites you to embark on a journey through the waves of the past. With its rich narrative and evocative imagery, this work not only elucidates the life of a naval officer but also beckons you to reflect upon the broader implications of empire and maritime tradition.

444 Days - The American Hostages...

Davis Truman

It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster.

The India Way - Strategies for...

S. Jaishankar

The global order is always evolving, and in that sense, change could well be seen as a constant factor. But that ongoing evolution has now been given a sharper edge by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, developments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine conflict and greater friction among key powers. 'One Trend and Four Shocks' are thus creating a new landscape. 
The 'Four Shocks' have, each in their own way, led to heightened global anxiety and insecurity. This era of upheaval entails greater expectations from India, putting it on the path to becoming a leading power. 
In The India Way, S. Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, analyses these challenges and spells out possible policy responses. In doing so, he is very conscious of balancing India's national interest with international responsibilities. He places this thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage.
