  From Max Hastings comes a collection of talks and lectures exploring the wars of the 20th century with the verve, insight and originality that has made him a number one bestselling historian. 
  What is war like to live through, for civilian victims, especially women, as well as soldiers, sailors and fliers? Hastings has been a life-long student of warfare, a ‘chronicler of conflict’, working first as a foreign correspondent on battlefields, then as a prolific prize-winning historian of the 20th century’s greatest struggles. He has now been studying warfare for over fifty years, published thirty books, and given hundreds of talks and lectures. Here are thirteen of the best. 
  Addressing questions of truth versus myth and revisiting many last-generation narratives, Hastings leads us through the most important conflicts in recent times. Listen as he explores D-Day, the Dambusters raid, Churchill’s character and achievement as war leader, Vietnam, and – in his most recent book, published in 2022, the Cuban missile crisis – 13 days when we came closest to annihilation and which stands as a mirror to the grave threats the world faces today. 
  Max Hastings, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the modern history of warfare, shedding light on the political relations that have shaped the world. His international acclaim is a testament to his top-notch storytelling and deep understanding of geopolitics. 
  For fans of Stephen E. Ambrose (Wild Blue), Antony Beevor (Rasputin), Al Murray (Arnhem), Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), and Winston S. Churchill (The Hinge of Fate).

  Humans are Out - AI is In

  Humans are Out :: AI is In. 
  A poem about the impending turn of fortunes for Humans when AI becomes of age. 
  When it is no longer a computer programme, nor a chess or Go Master, 
  but a possible thinking sentient being with a mind of its own! 
   
  What humans may take from it, how will they react. Will they easily accept it, become 
  accustomed to AI being a potential competitor, or will they go into a spiral of decay. 
  The poem touches on these points and suggests a way out, that possibly AI will never have 
  regardless of how intelligent it becomes. 
   
  *Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. 
  Purely the Authors inspiration. * As for all his poems.*

  Beyond Proportionality -...

  Imagine a war without battlefields. There are no uniforms. Civilians and combatants are indistinguishable. Homes, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings are used as command and communication centers, and for the warehousing of weapons. Apartment rooftops are launching pads; the civilians who live inside . . . human shields. There are over 300 miles of reinforced tunnels, all outfitted with weapons and passageways for terrorists to take hostages and travel freely. 
   
   
   
  Beyond Proportionality examines Israel's battles against Hamas and Hezbollah under the laws of war and concludes that its wartime conduct was based on military necessity and fought justly. The targets are terrorists, weapons, and tunnels—not civilians. Israel relies upon verifiable intelligence, deploys precise weapons, and endangers its own soldiers in order to minimize civilian death. 
   
   
   
  The bombings over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden, and the urban warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, produced large numbers of civilian dead that were not considered acts of genocide; the war in Gaza was no different.

  The Trial of a King: The War That Redefined the Power of Government
  
  In 1649, England did the unthinkable. It became the first European nation to put its own sovereign on trial and then execute him in front of his people.
  
  The English Civil War went deeper than a mere scrap between Royalists and Parliamentarians. It was a high-stakes collision over the very nature of power. You will see the tension between a monarch who claimed his authority from God and a Parliament convinced that no ruler stood above the law of the land.
  
  This book brings you into the heart of a chaotic decade that shattered the Three Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland. You will walk through the religious fever, the financial ruin, and the bitter mistrust that forced a kingdom into open rebellion.
  
  Witness the life of King Charles I as his decisions led from a decade of Personal Rule to a direct clash with Parliament. You will watch the rise of legendary figures like John Pym, Prince Rupert, and Oliver Cromwell, while exploring how the New Model Army fundamentally changed the political future of England.
  
   Inside this book, you will discover: 
  
  -  Why Charles I ruled without Parliament for eleven years and how that choice backfired. 
  -  The way religious friction in Scotland sparked the Bishops' Wars. 
  -  The start of the war in 1642 and the initial bloodshed at Edgehill. 
  -  The brilliant tactics and the catastrophic errors of both the Royalist and Parliamentarian camps. 
  -  The turning point at Naseby and the total collapse of the king's forces. 
  -  The transition of England into a Commonwealth after the death of Charles I. 
  -  Why did this conflict break the belief in divine monarchy across the European continent? 
  -  The way these battles cleared the path for constitutional government and the Glorious Revolution. 
  -  And much, much more! 
   
  This narrative goes beyond the "what" to explain exactly why these events changed the path of history. The English Civil War marked the moment a nation challenged the limits of authority and proved that even a king could fall.
  
  Discover the civil war, the regicide, and the revolution that built the foundations of modern government.
