Big Ideas Simply Explained

The History Book

From an esteemed military historian, a sweeping history of the revolutions in war-fighting that have shaped the modern world &nbsp; Heraclitus wrote that “war is the father of all,” and it has formed much of the modern world. Although the fundamental nature of war has not altered over the centuries, constant change, innovation, and adaptation have repeatedly reshaped how wars are fought in the West. Revolutions in military practice cannot be separated from larger social developments in areas like logistics, finance and economics, and the culture of military organizations. &nbsp; In The Dark Path, Williamson Murray argues that the history of warfare in the West hinged on five revolutions, which both reflected the social, political, and economic conditions that produced them and in turn influenced how those conditions evolved. These five key turning points are the advent of the modern state, which formed bureaucracies and professional militaries; the Industrial Revolution, which produced the financial and industrial means to sustain and equip large armies; the French Revolution, which provided the ideological basis needed to sustain armies through continent-sized wars; the merging of the Industrial and French Revolutions in the U.S. Civil War; and the accelerating integration of technological advancement, financial capacity, ideology, and government that unleashed the modern capacity for total warfare. &nbsp; An ambitious work of synthesis, this book shows how the world continually re-creates war—and how war, in turn, continually re-creates the world.

JACK RYAN

Jack Ryan returns in a blockbuster new novel of action, thrills and intrigue in the world created by master storytelling Tom Clancy. An international incident may fracture the Ryan family in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series. Even in a family of strong individualists like the Ryans, Kyle has stood out as a lone wolf. For years he's gone his own way, joining the DIA rather than the CIA, and disagreeing with his father's politics. Now he's missing in an African country on the brink of a coup. His last message to his handlers, "We're on the wrong side of history." His father, the President of the United States, is about to discover which is more important to him: the interests of his country or the life of his son? __________ PRAISE FOR TOM CLANCY 'Constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale' NEW YORK TIMES 'Exhilarating. No other novelist is giving so full a picture of modern conflict' SUNDAY TIMES 'A brilliantly constructed thriller that packs a punch' DAILY MAIL 'Heart-stopping action . . . entertaining and eminently topical' WASHINGTON POST

The unputdownable new Jack Ryan thriller

Tom Clancy Executive Power

African Studies and Research Forum Series

This book examines the peacebuilding efforts in Côte d'Ivoire after the 2002-2011 civil war, highlighting the complex dynamics of conflict resolution and social cohesion in fragile states. It analyzes historical, political, and socio-economic contexts, and provides practical insights to address inequalities and strengthen sustainable peace in Africa and beyond.


The book further scrutinizes UN-supported programs and various conflict resolution strategies, including mediation, negotiation, arbitration, and military intervention, as they are applied in Côte d'Ivoire and other African contexts. Key chapters explore the root causes of Ivorian conflicts, such as economic disparities, ethnic tensions, and political power struggles, and discuss the challenges of disarmament and economic instability. 


The book highlights the importance of community dialogue, reconciliation, and local leadership, especially women, to advance harmony and address social inequalities. It critically analyzes external influences and evaluates international and regional peacebuilding strategies. The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science, international relations, African studies, security studies, and the social sciences, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of peacebuilding in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, and beyond.

Addressing Inequalities, Social Cohesion, and Conflict Resolution

Peacebuilding in Post-Conflict Côte d'Ivoire

This book offers the first ever in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces. The book critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding, among other things, that there was a failure of constitutional discourse, particularly in relation to the 2011 drafting process of the Transitional Constitution. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process. This has had serious implications for democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. Finally, bearing in mind the failure in both how the transitional constitution was made and how it is being implemented, the book undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed process for drafting a new constitution for South Sudan. It identifies serious shortcomings and proposes how these could be addressed to enhance the process.

Jack Ryan, Jr.

Pre-order the pulse-racing new Jack Ryan, Jr. thriller, TOM CLANCY PRESSURE DEPTH, now! __________ The discovery of an oil field off the coast of Guyana plunges Jack Ryan, Jr. into a cauldron of lies in the latest entry in this internationally bestselling series. It starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of Guyana and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship, tragic as it is, won't stop that mission from continuing. So who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That's the question plaguing Jack Ryan Jr. He's in Guyana to work a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery, but the destruction of the Claiborne and the kidnapping of the Guyanese Interior Minister make it clear that there's a malignant force working to destroy Guyana's oil industry. It's up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him, but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting? __________ Reader reviews for LINE OF DEMARCATION 'This book might be my favorite of the Jack Ryan Jr. series. A complete thriller start to finish with a satisfying ending' 'Another great read in the Clancy legacy. A fun fast paced read that you won't want to put down' 'An action-packed, hardcore Tom-Clancy-worthy geopolitical thriller with great pacing and cinematic depth. M.P Woodward does a terrific job' 'The action is high adrenaline. I flew through this one. Highly recommended for fans of thrillers' 'If you like drug lords, Russians, communism and the good guys battling to take them down, you are going to love this book'

Jack Ryan, Jr. is caught in a deadly web of lies in this thrilling addition to the No.1 bestselling series

Tom Clancy Line of Demarcation

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year The definitive biography of Zhou Enlai, the first premier and preeminent diplomat of the People's Republic of China, who protected his country against the excesses of his boss-Chairman Mao. Zhou Enlai spent twenty-seven years as premier of the People's Republic of China and ten as its foreign minister. He was also its legendary spymaster. Richard Nixon proclaimed him "the greatest statesman of our era." Yet Zhou has always been overshadowed by Chairman Mao. Chen Jian brings Zhou into the light, offering a nuanced portrait of a revolutionary and master diplomat whose vision shaped China and the broader world. Born to a declining mandarin family in 1898, Zhou received a classical education and as a teenager spent time in modernizing Japan. Zhou embraced communist revolution as a vehicle for China's own development, yet Zhou was never a committed Maoist. While he worked closely with the chairman, he used his extraordinary political and bureaucratic skill to mitigate the damage caused by Mao's radicalism and maintain China's international standing. When Zhou died in 1976, the China we know today was not yet visible on the horizon. He never saw a glistening Shanghai skyline or the emergence of Chinese capitalism. But the Chinese influence now felt in every corner of the globe rests on Zhou's work.

27 and Counting, The Amendments that Shaped America’s Future

Perfecting the U.S. Constitution

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

This book challenges traditional legal approaches to military operations in internal armed conflicts based on the laws of war.
