Summary

Counter Attacks explores how a weaker military force can strategically exploit an opponent's aggression to achieve victory by transforming defensive positions into offensive opportunities. It's not just a history of battles, but a study in asymmetrical warfare and strategic thinking.  

 
The book highlights concepts such as strategic misdirection, using terrain and technology to boost defense, and psychologically influencing enemy decisions. The book emphasizes understanding an adversary's doctrines and biases to lure them into disadvantageous positions, thereby turning defense into a counter-offensive.

 
 It challenges conventional notions by stressing adaptability and foresight. Beginning with a theoretical framework and historical examples, the book progresses to specific case studies and concludes with modern military doctrines and their implications for defense policy. 

 
This book offers a unique perspective by focusing on the proactive elements of defensive strategies, analyzing how defense can initiate offensive actions. It is valuable to military professionals, historians, and anyone interested in military strategy, political analysis, and conflict resolution.

    ""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer 
    From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself. 
    “You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor 
    The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians. 
    In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. 
    Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.

    What is Art?

    "Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced."
    
    This essay, first published in English in 1898, challenges the notion that art's value lies solely in beauty or technical skill. Tolstoy redefines art as a moral and emotional force, and argues that true art is the sincere communication of feeling from artist to audience, fostering positive emotions and societal unity, and rejecting the notion that art can be morally corrupting. He argues that the essence of art lies in its ability to convey emotional truth and urges his audience to re-evaluate how art is perceived and practised in society.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.
