Sinossi

"Daring Raids" explores the high-stakes world of military incursions throughout history, examining the strategic brilliance and inherent perils of these operations. It dissects raid tactics, from small ambushes to large-scale special operations, and analyzes the decision-making processes involved. The book highlights how raids, often perceived as reckless gambles, require a thorough understanding of the operational environment and a realistic risk assessment.

For instance, the success of a raid often hinges not only on tactical proficiency but also on the ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, making risk management vital.

It traces the evolution of raid tactics from ancient times to modern warfare, emphasizing the influence of technological innovations.

By contrasting successful raids with disastrous ones, "Daring Raids" illuminates factors contributing to each outcome, such as intelligence gathering and contingency planning. Beginning with a framework for analyzing raid effectiveness, the book progresses through historical case studies, contrasting successes and failures, and concluding with ethical considerations and long-term impacts. It's valuable for military enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering insights into the complexities of modern warfare and the enduring challenges of military leadership.

A Little Cocaine to Loosen My...

Sigmund Freud

In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.

We Philogists

Friedrich Nietzsche

“We Philologists” is an early text written by Friedrich Nietzsche around 1874, but it was only published after his death in 1900. The title refers to philology - the study of ancient languages - which was Nietzsche’s academic specialty prior to venturing into philosophy full-time. In this intriguing early paper, Nietzsche describes his fellow philologists’ physical and mental proclivities with the barbed frankness which soon became his signature style. This book is considered by scholars to be a series of drafted notes sketching out the principles of a book rather than a standalone treatise in their own right.

In 1394 Nicola Martoni made a dangerous journey from a small town in Italy to Jerusalem. He was a little, short-sighted, middle-aged provincial lawyer.

Desperate to get home and running out of money, he wandered from island to island and across mainland Greece, braving more storms, shipwreck, pirates, mercenaries and brigands, sustained by curiosity, determination and faith in God. 
It was an age of marvels and miracles, before printing and the intellectual and scientific revolutions that shape our world. His journal translated from Latin, gives us a rare insight into a medieval mind. Join him on his journey
