Sinopsis

In "Why We Are at War," Woodrow Wilson articulates the ideological landscape of World War I, contending that the United States' involvement is a moral obligation rather than mere political expediency. Wilson employs a persuasive and eloquent literary style, blending factual analysis with impassioned rhetoric, as he stresses the themes of democracy, justice, and humanity. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous global conflict, this work serves as both a military rationale and a manifesto for a new world order, emphasizing self-determination and international cooperation, reflective of Wilsonian ideals. Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was deeply influenced by his scholarly background and progressive beliefs. His tenure in academia and the political realm informed his conviction that America must take a stand against tyranny and champion democratic values. These experiences culminated in his passionate argumentation in "Why We Are at War," which reflects his desire to reshape international relations and reinforce his vision of an idealistic peace. This compelling exploration is a must-read for historians and political science enthusiasts alike, as it not only reveals the motivations behind America's entry into World War I but also provides insights into Wilson's broader vision for global diplomacy. Readers who seek to understand the interplay of ethics and warfare will find this work both illuminating and significant.

    Featured in Task & Purpose and Army Times."A riveting, unsparing, gritty, first-hand account of life in a great airborne unit that engaged in some of the toughest fighting in Afghanistan."—General David Petraeus, former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, former Commander of NATO/US Forces in Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA.
    
    “DAMN THE VALLEY” was a phrase regularly uttered by the men that spent any amount of time in the Arghandab River Valley during the deployment of 2 Fury to Afghanistan in 2009–2010. The valley has claimed bodies from the troops of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and more recently, the Russian Army. Operating in the valley was like nothing the men could have envisaged, they called it the “meat grinder.”
    
    It was a deployment that the media didn’t talk about, and the government doesn’t acknowledge. Three of the company were KIA, more than a dozen suffered life-changing injuries, and half the company had Purple Hearts—not many modern-day deployments have a 52% casualty rate. At one point, the entire prosthetics ward at Walter Reed was full of the men who patrolled that deadly area of the world. 
    
    Since their return, many of the survivors have struggled to move on with their lives, and the unit has been declared at "extraordinary risk" by the Department of Veteran Affairs. No one who entered that region was left unscathed. This book shares the perspective of the men that were on the ground for that deployment during the fighting season of 2010.

    A groundbreaking book about the real race conversations we should be having in the workplace.Have you ever struggled with initiating conversations that build trust in the workplace?Have you had trouble attracting and retaining minority talent?Listen In provides insight that can be applied to every business, throwing the reader into real-life conversations in a fictional, compelling format.Jim, the CEO of a large corporation, prides himself on having an open mind when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in his personal and work life, until he overhears a conversation between five African Americans at a restaurant one evening. A group of friends are engaging in a deep discussion on their experiences in the workplace, and Jim quickly learns that the depth of DEI goes beyond the data he has grown accustomed to spouting off to his colleagues.LaToya, Shane, Maya, Elijah, and Roshunda all have different backgrounds and personalities, but when they come together at the table for their weekly conversations, they get deep about the race issues they face in the workplace. Such as Black hair and the contradiction that height isn’t always an advantage for Black males. Their opinions and experiences stretch outside the metrics and scorecards that companies use to measure their DEI plans, and spurs a rippling effect in Jim, as he blazes a trail to accelerate progress of the inclusion goals his company has been struggling with for years.

    Innovating Victory studies how the world's navies incorporated new technologies into their ships, their practices, and their doctrine. It does this by examining six core technologies fundamental to twentieth-century naval warfare including new platforms, new weapons, and new tools. Each chapter considers the state of a subject technology when it was first used in war and what navies expected of it. It then looks at the way navies discovered and developed the technology's best use, in many cases overcoming disappointed expectations. It considers how a new technology threatened its opponents, not to mention its users, and how those threats were managed. Innovating Victory shows that the use of technology is more than introducing and mastering a new weapon or system. Differences in national resources, force mixtures, priorities, perceptions, and missions forced nations to approach the problems presented by new technologies in different ways. Navies that specialized in specific technologies often held advantages over enemies in some areas but found themselves disadvantaged in others. Vincent P. O'Hara and Leonard R. Heinz present new perspectives and explore the process of technological introduction and innovation in a way that is relevant to today's navies, which face challenges and questions even greater than those of 1904, 1914, and 1939.

There is poetry written in Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other major hubs in the western world.
