  The world’s oldest still-active war correspondent shares the real stories behind half a century of headlines from the front lines.
  
  The world’s oldest still-active war correspondent, Al J. Venter, has reported from the front lines for well over half a century, witnessing the horrors humanity visits upon itself in twenty-five conflict zones across Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
  
  In this memoir, Venter masterfully recounts his experiences, sharing the real stories behind the headlines and the sharp lessons he learned that enabled him to survive his countless exploits, ranging from exposing a major KGB operative in Rhodesia entirely by accident, and accompanying an Israeli force led by Ariel Sharon into Beirut, to gun-running into the United States.

  Creating the Modern Army -...

  William J. Woolley

  The modern US Army was largely created in the years between the two world wars. Prior to World War I, officers in leadership positions were increasingly convinced that building a new army could not take place as a series of random developments but had to be guided by military policy. In 1920, Congress accepted that idea and embodied it in the National Defense Act. In doing so it also accepted army leadership's idea of entrusting America's security to the Citizen Army, and tasked the nation’s Regular Army with developing and training that force. Creating the Modern Army details the efforts of the Regular Army to do so in the face of austerity budgets and public apathy while simultaneously responding to the challenges posed by the new and revolutionary mechanization of warfare. 
   
   
   
  In this book Woolley focuses on the development of what he sees as the four major features of the modernized army that emerged due to these efforts. 
   
   
   
  The US Army that fought World War II was clearly a citizen army whose leadership was largely trained within the framework of the institutions of the army created by the National Defense Act. The way that army fought the war may have been less decisive and more costly in terms of lives and money than it should have been. But that army won the war and therefore validated the citizen army as the US way of war.

  Success among Nations

  Emil Reich

  Step into a sweeping, provocative tour of world history that asks a timeless question: why do some nations surge ahead while others stall or fall? In Success Among Nations, Emil Reich blends grand narrative with sharp psychological insight to trace the forces—economic, political, intellectual, and spiritual—that have shaped civilizations from ancient Egypt and Babylon to Greece, Rome, Renaissance Italy, modern France, Germany, Britain, Russia, and the United States. 
  This audiobook doesn’t just recount events; it dissects the human energies beneath them. Reich argues that prosperity and culture rarely rise together, that geography and city-states matter more than “race,” that alphabets and institutions can change the fate of continents, and that over-intellectualization can sap a people’s will just as surely as luxury can dull its edge. He juxtaposes Carthage’s commercial genius with Rome’s statecraft, Athens’s artistic brilliance with its political fragility, Venice’s maritime ascent with its eclipse after the Age of Discovery, and the middle-class engine of European modernity with Russia’s struggle for a true bourgeois core. Along the way, he explores how empires are won and lost, why religious movements with tiny beginnings reshape continents, and how character—national and personal—steers destiny. 
  Reich writes with bracing clarity and fearless opinion, drawing bold connections between past and present. You’ll meet conquerors and city builders, merchants and monks, reformers and revolutionaries—and see how canals, scripts, schools, armies, churches, and marketplaces forged the modern world. Whether examining the anatomy of British sea power, the organizational genius of the Jesuits, the civic soil that cultured Greek tragedy and science, or the restless dynamism of America, this is history as diagnosis and forecast.

  The only book ever written in the history genre that succinctly tells the progressive and redemptive course of America as revealed in the stories behind the American holidays. 
   
  Ever wonder why everyone wants to immigrate to America? Rediscovering America answers that question, and it’s like no other history you have ever read. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden  
  hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and  
  engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale—some quite wild—about what is behind each of the American holidays, the page- and chapterturning appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday  
  stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years—never before told in a concise and readable book.
