Synopsis

Captured Weapons explores the underappreciated role of weapon adaptation in military history, revealing how seizing and repurposing enemy technology has consistently shaped the outcomes of conflicts. This book examines the strategic and logistical aspects of weapon adaptation, highlighting how armies identify, assess, and implement captured technology into their own forces. Understanding enemy weapons can provide a crucial technological edge, as seen throughout history where disparities in technology often dictated battle outcomes. 

 
The book's approach is comprehensive, progressing from the initial capture and assessment of enemy technology to the long-term impact on military innovation and doctrine. It dives into the practical challenges of reverse engineering and retraining personnel, using historical examples like the Napoleonic Wars and World Wars to illustrate the significant role captured weapons have played. By analyzing these instances, Captured Weapons emphasizes that gaining crucial intelligence from these captures drives innovation and reshapes the battlefield.

 
Structured to provide a broad overview, the book begins with core concepts before delving into key historical periods to examine specific instances of weapon adaptation. Ultimately, the book’s value lies in its unique perspective, focusing on the systemic implications of captured weapons rather than simply cataloging individual systems, and offering practical implications for modern military forces.

Was Muhammad Crazy?

Frédéric Joy

Through a careful psychological re-reading of the Qur'an and other biographical sources about Muhammad, the author identifies the pathological symptoms of the prophet of Islam. His diagnosis is unambiguous: the man suffered from a querulous paranoia with dissociative identity disorder. 
The author shows that Mohammed identified himself with previous prophets (Jesus and Moses in particular), whom he plagiarized. Adapting their words and deeds to the culture of the Arab world, he imposed these new doctrines on his people primarily through direct aggression and political manipulation. Yet, Islam was phenomenally successful during his lifetime and over the centuries. 
At this point, another question arises: How did Muhammad manage to convince the masses? The author then analyzes the personality of the submissive people and the success of this religion through the centuries. The author also deconstructs all the scientific and philosophical presuppositions behind the Muslim religion (cosmology, biology, psychology, etc.). Muhammad's moral and political discourse is confronted with its own contradictions.

Authoritarianism - A Very Short...

James Loxton

Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office.
