Summary

"Mind Games" explores the profound influence of psychological warfare on military history, arguing that understanding the human mind is as crucial as logistics and weaponry. It reveals how exploiting fears, biases, and cognitive limitations has consistently provided a strategic advantage in conflicts throughout time. For instance, calculated displays of force and deception have historically swayed outcomes, demonstrating that battles are often won in the minds of soldiers and commanders before the physical clash.

 
The book progresses through three sections, first establishing core psychological principles like cognitive biases and the impact of stress in combat. It then analyzes historical case studies, from ancient battles to modern conflicts, illustrating how psychological tactics were employed. Finally, the book focuses on mental resilience, detailing strategies soldiers use to cope with the extreme demands of warfare, such as maintaining morale and managing trauma.

 
This approach integrates military history, psychology, and political science to offer a fresh perspective on the human dimension of warfare and political manipulation.

    The Claudius Novels - I Claudius...

    The Claudius Novels includes Robert Graves’ best known historical novels, I, Claudius and Claudius the God. 
In I, Claudius, Robert Graves begins the story of the limping, stammering young man who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after the death of Caligula.
Once a rather bookish young man with a limp and a stammer, a man who spent most of his time trying to stay away from the danger and risk of the line of ascension, Claudius seemed an unlikely candidate for Emperor. Yet, on the death of Caligula, Claudius finds himself next in line for the throne, and must stay alive as well as keep control.

Drawing on the histories of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, noted historian and classicist Robert Graves tells the story of the much-maligned Emperor Claudius with both skill and compassion. Weaving important themes throughout about the nature of freedom and safety possible in a safety and a monarchy, Graves’ Claudius is both more effective and more tragic than history typically remembers him. A best-selling novel and one of Graves’ most successful, I, Claudius has been adapted to television, film, theatre, and audio.

In Claudius the God, Graves continues the story, detailing Claudius’ 13-year reign and his ultimate downfall. Painting the vivid, tumultuous, and decadent society of ancient Rome with spectacular detail, Robert Graves provides a tale that is both instructive and compelling, and difficult to put down for both casual readers and students of Roman history.

    Empire of Rags and Bones - Waste...

    Paper, kitchen garbage, rubber, hair, fat, rags, and bones—the Nazi empire demanded its population collect anything that could be reused. Citizens conjured up schemes to squeeze value from waste or invent new purposes for defunct or spent material, no matter the cost to people or the environment. As WWII dragged on, rescued loot—much of it waste—clogged transport routes and piled up in warehouses across Europe. 
 
 
 
Historicizing the much-championed ideal of zero waste, Anne Berg shows that the management of waste was central to the politics of war and to the genesis of genocide in the Nazi Germany. Destruction and recycling were part of an overarching strategy to redress raw material shortages, procure lebensraum, and cleanse the continent of Jews and others considered undesirable. Resource extending schemes obscured the crucial political role played by virtually all German citizens to whom salvaging, scrapping, and recycling were promoted as inherently virtuous and orderly behaviors. Throughout Nazi occupied-Europe, Jews, POWs, concentration camp inmates, and enemy civilians were forced to recycle the loot, discards, and debris of the Nazi race war. In the end, the materials that were fully exploited and the people who had been bled dry were cast aside, buried, burned, or left to rot. Nonetheless, waste reclamation did not have the power to win the war.

Through a series of thematic chapters, the book examines the resilience of communities, the evolution of social and economic structures, the persistence of faith, and the seeds of cultural and intellectual transformation.
