    Content: "The author of Shadow War, a veteran with deep experience--as an 82nd Airborne paratrooper, private contractor, and professor of war studies at the National Defense University--delivers a highly provocative, even controversial, exploration of modern warfare and what we must do to win in the futureWar is timeless. Some things change--weapons, tactics, technology, leadership, objectives--but the propensity for humans to do battle does not. Today, more than eighty years after World War II and thirty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we are again living in dangerous times. It is the age of Durable Disorder--a period of unrest created by numerous factors: China's rise, Russia's resurgence, America's retreat, the Middle East aflame, global terrorism, international criminal empires, climate change, dwindling natural resources, and bloody civil wars. The number of armed conflicts being waged has doubled since World War II, and of the approximately 194 countries of the world, nearly half are involved in some form of armed conflict. Millions of have been killed and millions more have become refugees, upending Western democracies. This devastating turmoil has given rise to difficult questions that hold meaning for us today and in the years to come. What is the future of war? Who and how will people fight? What factors will lead to warfare? How can we survive? If Americans are drawn into major armed conflict, can we win? In this thorough, insightful analysis, Sean McFate--a modern heir to Carl von Clausewitz, author of the classic On War--carefully constructs ten rules for the future of military engagement, explaining how to fight and win in an age of entropy and a global system very different from the past: one where corporations, mercenaries, and rogue states have more power and 'nation states' have less. McFate's new rules distill the essence of war, describing what it is in the real world, not what we believe or wish it to be: Rule 1: Conventional War is Dead Rule 2: Technology Will Not Save Us Rule 3: There Is No Such Thing as War or Peace--Both Coexist, Always Rule 4: Hearts and Minds Do Not Matter Rule 5: The Best Kind of Weapons Do Not Fire Bullets Rule 6: Mercenaries Will Return Rule 7: New Types of Actors Will Rule Rule 8: There Will Be Wars Without States Rule 9: Shadow Wars Will Dominate Rule 10: Victory is Fungible Some of these principles are ancient, others are new, but all will permanently shape war now and in the future. By following them ...

    Content: "Throughout modern history, British and American rivalry has gone hand in hand with common interests. In this book Kathleen Burk brilliantly examines the different kinds of power the two empires have projected, and the means they have used to do it. What the two empires have shared is a mixture of pragmatism, ruthless commercial drive, a self-righteous foreign policy and plenty of naked aggression. These have been aimed against each other more than once; yet their underlying alliance against common enemies has been historically unique and a defining force throughout the twentieth century. This is a global and epic history of the rise and fall of empires. It ranges from America's futile attempts to conquer Canada to her success in opening up Japan but rapid loss of leadership to Britain; from Britain's success in forcing open China to her loss of the Middle East to the US; and from the American conquest of the Philippines to her destruction of the British Empire. The Pax Americana replaced the Pax Britannica, but now the American world order is fading, threatening Britain's belief in her own world role. In our uncertain times, this is the history we need: authoritative, measured and compelling."--Jacket flap

    Content: John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian of the Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught grand strategy at Yale University with his colleagues Charles Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy, Gaddis reflects on what he has learned. In chapters extending from the ancient world through World War II, Gaddis assesses grand strategic theory and practice in Herodotus, Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Octavian/Augustus, St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Elizabeth I, Philip II, the American Founding Fathers, Clausewitz, Tolstoy, Lincoln, Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Isaiah Berlin. On Grand Strategy applies the sharp insights and wit readers have come to expect from Gaddis to times, places, and people he’s never written about before. For anyone interested in the art of leadership, On Grand Strategy is, in every way, a master class

    Content: Kriminalgeschichten, die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhen, sind selten romantisch. Doch gerade diese brechen uns gewöhnlich das Herz. (NewYork Times) Der Bus der Linie 57 ist das einzige, was Sasha und Richard miteinander verbindet. Richard ist Afroamerikaner, geht auf eine öffentliche Schule und hat gerade einen längeren Aufenthalt in einer betreuten Wohngruppe für jugendliche Straftäter hinter sich. Sasha ist weiß, besucht eine Privatschule und identifiziert sich selbst als agender. Nur acht Minuten täglich verbringen Sasha und Richard gemeinsam im Bus 57. Bis zu dem Tag als Sasha den langen weißen Rock trägt und Richard ihn anzündet. Dashka Slater hat den nachfolgenden Gerichtsprozess monatelang verfolgt, mit Beteiligten gesprochen und die Hintergründe recherchiert. Bus 57 ist die akribische Dokumentation eines berührenden Falles, der tragischen Verstrickung zweier Jugendlicher, die doch nur eines wollen: glücklich sein, trotz allem. Im Februar 2015 erschien im New York Times Magazine unter der Überschrift The Fire on the 57 Bus ein längerer Artikel der Journalistin Dashka Slater über einen Vorfall, der sich eineinhalb Jahre zuvor in Oakland ereignet hatte. Ein afroamerikanischer Teenager setzt die Kleidung eines Gleichaltrigen in Brand, der genderqueer ist. Sashas und Richards Schicksal ließ Dashka Slater nicht mehr los, so dass aus dem Artikel dieses Buch entstanden ist. Sie erzählt darin von Sashas ungewöhnlicher fantasievoller Kindheit, dem Coming-Out, den Krankenhausaufenthalten, aber auch von der Unterstützung, die Sasha erfährt, nicht nur in der LGBTQ-Community. Genauso sorgfältig arbeitet sie Richards Geschichte auf und wirft einen Blick auf ein Justizsystem, das afroamerikanische Jugendliche anders zu behandeln scheint als weiße. Die Staatsanwaltschaft stuft Richards Tat zunächst als Hate-Crime ein, wodurch ihm ein Verfahren unter Erwachsenenstrafrecht droht und damit eine womöglich lebenslange Haftstrafe.
    Note: Dashka Slater schreibt als Journalistin überwiegend für die New York Times und wurde mehrfach für ihre sorgfältigen Essays und Hintergrundgeschichten ausgezeichnet. Sie schreibt außerdem Bücher für Kinder und Erwachsene. Ihr Roman The Wishing Box wurde von der Los Angeles Times in die Liste der Best Books of the Year aufgenommen.

    Content: "Ein schmerzlich schönes Debüt, das eine Kriminalgeschichte mit der Erzählung eines Erwachsenwerdens verbindet und die Natur feiert." The New York Times Chase Andrews stirbt, und die Bewohner der ruhigen Küstenstadt Barkley Cove sind sich einig: Schuld ist das Marschmädchen. Kya Clark lebt isoliert im Marschland mit seinen Salzwiesen und Sandbänken. Sie kennt jeden Stein und Seevogel, jede Muschel und Pflanze. Als zwei junge Männer auf die wilde Schöne aufmerksam werden, öffnet Kya sich einem neuen Leben - mit dramatischen Folgen. Delia Owens erzählt intensiv und atmosphärisch davon, dass wir für immer die Kinder bleiben, die wir einmal waren. Und den Geheimnissen und der Gewalt der Natur nichts entgegensetzen können.
    Note: Delia Owens, geboren in Georgia, lebt auf einer Ranch in Idaho. Über zwanzig Jahre erforschte die Zoologin in verschiedenen afrikanischen Ländern Elefanten, Löwen und Hyänen. Als Kind verlebte Owens die Sommerurlaube mit ihren Eltern in North Carolina, wo auch ihr Romandebüt spielt.
