  The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
   
   
   
  Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
   
   
   
  The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

  One of the central concepts in the book is the idea that the ultimate triumph lies in winning without engaging in actual combat. Sun Tzu stresses the value of outsmarting opponents through strategic maneuvering and psychological warfare, reducing the need for bloody confrontation. He underlines the importance of understanding both one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the opposition, in order to make informed decisions that lead to success.

  Perpetual Peace - Immanuel Kant

  Immanuel Kant

  "Perpetual Peace" is a philosophical work written by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1795. In this work, Kant argues that peace can only be achieved through a world order based on international law, democratic governance, and the promotion of free trade. 
  Kant believed that war was a result of a flawed system of international relations, where states pursued their own self-interests without regard for the interests of other nations. He argued that in order to establish a lasting peace, a system of international law must be established that would regulate the behavior of nations and prevent them from going to war. 
  Kant also believed that a world federation of nations would be necessary to ensure peace. This federation would be based on democratic governance, where each nation would have an equal say in decisions that affected the world as a whole. Kant believed that this would help to ensure that the interests of all nations were taken into account, and that no one nation could dominate the others. 
  Finally, Kant argued that free trade was essential for peace. He believed that by promoting economic interdependence between nations, free trade would create incentives for nations to work together and avoid war. 
  Overall, Kant's "Perpetual Peace" is a seminal work in the history of political philosophy, and continues to be influential today in debates about international relations and the pursuit of peace.

  The 1960's - A Decade of Change...

  The 1960s opened with a sense of cautious optimism in America. Following the stability of the postwar 1950s, the country was on the brink of transformation. The seeds of change were being planted by a young and increasingly restless population. The rise of youth culture signaled a break from the conservatism of their parents’ generation. Young people began questioning authority, traditional values, and the social norms that had shaped American life for decades. Television became a powerful force in shaping ideas, music spread messages of rebellion, and college campuses buzzed with debates over justice and freedom. Teenagers and young adults embraced new forms of expression, setting the stage for a cultural revolution. 
  At the heart of this evolving decade was the civil rights movement, which had already begun stirring in the 1950s. In the early years of the sixties, the push for racial justice gained momentum, marked by nonviolent protests, sit-ins, and mass marches. African Americans, particularly in the South, fought against systemic racism and demanded equal treatment under the law. Martin Luther King Jr. became a prominent voice during this time, advocating for civil disobedience and peaceful protest. As the movement grew, so did the urgency for legislation that would challenge segregation and discrimination. The activism of this period began to awaken a broader consciousness about social injustice, laying the groundwork for other rights movements to follow. 
  On the global stage, the Cold War continued to cast a long shadow over American life. The rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union defined much of the political atmosphere. The threat of nuclear conflict loomed, and the government’s efforts to contain communism influenced both foreign and domestic policy.
