Sinopse

Navy Expansion explores the U.S. Navy's transformation from a modest fleet to a global maritime superpower. The book connects the Navy's growth to American foreign policy and technological advancements. Readers gain insight into how strategic decisions, like the late 19th-century "New Navy" era, and the need for technological superiority, such as the shift from ironclads to aircraft carriers, drove naval build-up. It emphasizes the interplay between military might and international relations, showing how naval power projects American influence. The book uniquely integrates technological, strategic, and political factors, avoiding a purely military-centric view. It examines the geopolitical landscape, technological advancements, and conflicts that tested the Navy's capabilities. Furthermore, the book addresses ethical considerations related to interventionism and maritime dominance. Beginning with the navy's nascent stages, the book progresses chronologically through key periods, including the World Wars, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War era. Each section analyzes the drivers of naval development. By drawing upon naval archives, government documents, and expert scholarship, Navy Expansion offers a comprehensive understanding of the U.S. Navy's role in shaping the modern world.

    Uncover the ten lies that are destroying America and discover how to replace them with timeless, biblical truths so you can see real change in your life and your country. 
    It's time to take back what the devil has stolen and bring God back into our culture. 
    Phil Robertson, patriarch of A&E's Duck Dynasty and one of the most recognized voices of conservative Christianity in America, believes that little by little, generation by generation, America has allowed the lines of morality, decency, and virtue to be erased. Our values have disappeared as we began to believe lies that have only sown discord and division. But, most importantly, Phil also believes that things can change. 
    Written with captivating storytelling and unflinching honesty, The Theft of America's Soul shows us how to make America a God-honoring nation once more by dropping the ten central lies that rule our day and replacing them with timeless, biblical truths. 
    The Theft of America's Soul confronts cultural lies like:“God is dead.”“Truth is relative.”“God did not create life.”“Laws can be ignored or changed if they are inconvenient.”“Christians should shut their traps.” 
      
    This book will help you understand how to replace those lies with truths from Scripture like:The God of the Bible is not dead and he never will be.There is absolute truth and it comes from God.God is the Author of life and only he can nourish and sustain it.Law and order come from the Word of God.God's people represent his voice in the world 
      
    The Theft of America's Soul is a prophetic wake-up call for anyone who wants to see our nation thrive, challenging us to exchange lies for truths that will bring peace of mind, harmony, and prosperity back to our country. This book invites you to experience the life-giving, peace-filling, wholly-transforming love of God as you embrace the truths found in the Bible. 
      
    Praise for The Theft of America's Soul: 
    "The moral clarity in this book is so powerful and so refreshing I wish I could give it to everyone I know. Incidentally, the only way something could be this full of truth and wisdom is if its author is a prophet. That he is. Hear him." 
    --Eric Metaxas, author of Bonhoeffer 
      
    "In The Theft of America's Soul, the Duck Commander has set his sights on something higher, taking aim at the ten lies that have led our culture astray and put our faith, our families, and our freedom at risk. I am grateful for the direct, nonpolitically correct way my friend Phil Robertson lays out the truth. My prayer is that this book finds its way into the hands and hearts of many Americans." 
    --Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council and president of Council for National Policy

    “Had I just 10,000 Cossacks, I would have conquered the whole world.” – Napoleon Bonaparte 
    The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. The region was relatively sparsely populated for much of ancient history, a wilderness of rivers, forests, and steppes, but that does not detract from the rich historical development of the region. A huge area, Ukraine is wedged between the continents of Asia and Europe, and its position as a crossroads ensured there was fierce competition for influence there. Historians have called the formation of Ukraine the “establishment of a unity among three zones…the ports of Crimea and the coast, the rich steppe heartland, and the forests,” based around the themes of “geography, ecology and culture.” 
    Today’s Ukraine is a huge country, incorporating an area over 600,000 square kilometers and home to 42 million people. It stretches from the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea in the south to Belarus in the north, Russia to the east, and Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west. The Dnieper River is the region’s key waterway, running into the Black Sea, while the Danube Delta also forms its border with modern-day Romania to the southwest. A steppe exists in the middle of the country while the Carpathian Mountains feature in the west. This geographical formation has influenced some of the country’s key historical developments, as well as the location of its major settlements. Kiev (known today as Kyiv) is, of course, the longstanding capital of the country, located on the Dnieper River in the central northern part of modern Ukraine. Lviv is another large city, located in the northwest near the border with Poland. Odessa is a seaside city on the Black Sea in Ukraine’s southwest, while Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk are major cities in the country’s east, close to the Russian border.
