The multi-volume anthology "The Story of the Great War" offers an extensive examination of World War I, capturing the complex tapestry of human experience during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Through a diverse range of narratives, essays, and personal accounts, this collection weaves together the political, social, and military dimensions of the war, all presented in a rich literary style that balances meticulous research with heartfelt storytelling. The varied perspectives—including frontline soldiers, nurses, and civilians—serve to provide a comprehensive view of the war's multifaceted impacts on lives and nations, situating the narrative within the broader historical context of early 20th-century global upheaval. Composed by various esteemed authors—including historians, journalists, and soldiers—this anthology reflects the diverse influences that shaped early 20th-century literature and historical writing. Each contributor brings unique insights shaped by their personal experiences or scholarly pursuits, resulting in a collaborative work that not only seeks to inform but also to evoke empathy and understanding for those who lived through the war. The book illustrates a collective effort to process the trauma and consequences of a world irrevocably altered by conflict. I highly recommend "The Story of the Great War" to both history enthusiasts and general readers interested in understanding the complexities of World War I. Its accessible yet profound narrative style invites readers to engage with the past, offering a thorough exploration that will resonate with anyone seeking to grasp the depth of human resilience and tragedy in the face of unparalleled adversity.

    It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
    On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
    In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
    When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?

    The quadrology´s four books covers the entire dramatic global strategic development since the Kosovo war in 1999. Russia and China's cooperation in the BRICS, SCO, the Ukraine crisis in 2014, Syria, the dramatic development in the South China Sea, the US presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, and its implications for the US global leadership.  Dialogues appear in parts 1 to 2 between the author and the American and Swedish highly ranked retired military and a Russian geostrategist in Vietnam in 2013. The military development is analyzed in detail. Finally, a summary analysis of more than fifty pages follows, which includes the very latest dramatic development around the US epic chaos-influenced retreat from Afghanistan and the development of events from November 2021 until May 9, 2022. Following the attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia is on the front lines against the Anglo-Saxon Western world. Yet, except for French Guiana in Latin America, the rest of the world refuses to follow the West's sanctions policy against Russia. In the near future, the struggle between Russia and the Anglo-American Western world will have the character of a positional political and economic war, and whoever first gives up will lose.  If Russia falls, Eurasia's authoritarian superpowers will fall, and the Anglo-American Western world will take over globally. But if the Anglo-American Western world falls, Eurasia's authoritarian superpowers, Russia and China, will have crushing world domination in control of the World Island, Eurasia, and Africa.
