Download or read book The Losing War: Disunity written by William Joseph. This book was released on 2024-05-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War was not uncommon in Canesia's history, as each state grappled for power and to establish their respective family as Monarch. But when ancient creatures of the land were mysteriously resurrected, the country embarked on a never-ending war with Mavens, stripping any hope of a bright future as the unkillable enemy, a product of evolution, exhibited God-like strength. No metal has penetrated a Maven's armor, and the outcasts of the country, some of whom are magic users, establish their resolve to rid the country of this foe. If these outcasts are to save the people of Canesia, they must believe in the unfathomable and chaotic nature of magic harnessed by sadistic people and fight, knowing quite well that history will not remember them as the true heroes who win wars are often overlooked.

Book Synopsis The Losing Battle With Islam by : David Selbourne
Download or read book The Losing Battle With Islam written by David Selbourne. This book was released on 2010-09-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive study of the Islamic revival from 1947 to the present, historian David Selbourne traces in detail the complex causes motivating the rise of Muslim fundamentalism in many countries and the West''s largely uncomprehending response to it. He frankly describes the hostilities, cruelties, and errors of judgment on both sides.Writing neither from the "left" nor from the "right," Selbourne pieces together up-to-date information from more numerous sources than in any other work on the subject. He highlights the grotesque role that some sections of the Western media have played and seeks to do justice to the Islamist cause, demonstrating how many of the real issues of the Islamic revival have been evaded.Selbourne argues that whether the "reawakening" of the Islamic and Arab worlds has taken the political form of Arab nationalism, as under the leadership of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser in the 1950s, or the economic form of the OPEC oil embargo in 1973 and 1974, or the religious form of the Iranian revolution of 1989 and the present al-Qaeda suicide squads, in all its guises it is motivated by a sense of entitlement in Muslims to determine their own destiny free of Western subordination.Selbourne concludes with a warning against the illusions of the West about its superiority and ability to contain a force that is confident of its own moral superiority and certain of its ultimate triumph.Addressed both to general readers and to policy makers, academics, and journalists, The Losing Battle with Islam will stand for some time as one of the most impartial and authoritative accounts of a half century of Western conflict with Islam.

Book Synopsis Winning Battles -- Losing Wars by : Crismon A. Brayman
Download or read book Winning Battles -- Losing Wars written by Crismon A. Brayman. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since winning World War II, and despite decades of U.S. hegemony, we must acknowledge an ironic and disturbing trend: America is winning battles, but losing wars. While these strategic losses may be the collective fault of many, our oath as U.S. military officers requires us to act boldly to reverse this trend. If we do not act, America may lose again or forfeit her power to influence global affairs and deter potential enemies. This strategic research paper analyzes the disturbing trend in our conduct of warfare since 1945, explores its causes, and endeavors to answer two critical questions: Why are we losing wars? And, how can we reverse this trend? Both the reasons for our losses and potential solutions should emerge during the course of this analysis. Finally, to enable these solutions, we must require America's strategic leaders to renew their oaths and courageously reclaim their proper place in shaping America's strategic discourse. Thus, we can return victory as America's standard and constant in war.
