  Lawrence Freedman

  • 0

  The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion. Ukraine suffered a loss of territory but was not forced into changing its policies away from the Westward course adopted as a result of the EuroMaidan uprising of February 2014. President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage. 
   
   
   
  Ukraine and the Art of Strategy provides an account of the origins and course of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through the lens of strategy. Lawrence Freedman describes the development of President Putin's anxieties that former Soviet countries were being drawn towards the European Union, the effective pressure he put on President Yanokvych of Ukraine to turn away from the EU, and the resulting "EuroMaidan Revolution" which led to Yanukovych fleeing. He explores the reluctance of Putin to use Russian forces to do more that consolidate the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine, the failure of the Minsk peace process, and the limits of the international response. Putin's strategic-making is kept in view at all times, including his use of "information warfare" and attempts to influence the American election.

  The Case Of Wagner Nietzsche...

  What happens when a philosopher declares war on an artist who once inspired him? 
  In this provocative collection, Friedrich Nietzsche - iconoclast, poet of ideas, and architect of modern existentialism - turns his formidable intellect against Richard Wagner, the composer he once revered. The result is a searing psychological and aesthetic autopsy of genius, decadence, and the struggle between art and truth. 
  Nietzsche’s voice echoes through the ages in The Case of Wagner, a charged and theatrical critique of Wagner’s music, values, and legacy. In Nietzsche Contra Wagner, he deepens the attack, dissecting the moral, cultural, and personal tensions between their divergent paths. The Selected Aphorisms that follow offer piercing reflections on music, morality, truth, and the human spirit—each a spark in Nietzsche’s incendiary philosophy. 
  Written in his unmistakable style - ironic, lyrical, ruthless—these texts mark the culmination of a fractured friendship and the birth of a new philosophical vision. They embody the turmoil of a thinker who challenged the foundations of Western culture, and whose ideas continue to resonate in debates on art, identity, and modernity. 
  Now brought to life in a clear, refined AI narration, this audiobook offers a crisp and immersive experience - faithful to the cadence and clarity Nietzsche’s work demands. Whether you are a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, this journey into Nietzsche’s thought will provoke, challenge, and awaken. 
  Enter the mind of one of history’s most fearless thinkers - press play, and confront the beautiful chaos within.

  Did you know that Western civilization has influenced the lives of almost everyone alive today? 
  What do you know about Western civilization? It might sound like a funny question to ask, but a lot of people don’t realize how much the West has impacted the world. The values of Western civilization have influenced laws, people’s sense of individuality, and even our morals. 
  This audiobook will trace Western civilization back to its roots. In this epic quest, we head all the way back to Greece when Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato pondered the very meaning of life. Explore the depths of knowledge that were probed by Greek schools of thought, such as the Stoics and the Cynics. 
  Was it better to stoically grin and bear the troubles of life as the Stoics advised, or was it better to simply shrug one’s shoulders and declare everything to be pointless, stupid, and absurd? 
  And in the middle of these philosophers’ quest, a missionary from Judea named Paul of Tarsus stepped in to spread the “good news” of the Gospels. Christianity and other schools of thought converged, and the Roman Empire helped to facilitate the spread of these ideas far and wide. Soon, the foundations for Western civilization had been firmly established. 
  These ideas would later undergo renaissances, reformations, and scientific revolutions, but the basic foundation has remained in place. Here, in this audiobook, we explore all of the fascinating aspects of the great framework upon which our modern Western civilization rests. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn the following:Greek philosophical and scientific discoveriesThe convergence of Greco-Roman and Christian beliefsHow Western civilization transformed during the Middle AgesAnd much more!
