An illuminating account of the war in Ukraine - its historical roots, its course, its possible outcomes - from the bestselling, award-winning author of ChernobylOn 24 February 2022, Russia stunned the world by launching an invasion of Ukraine. In the midst of checking on the family and friends who were now on the front lines of Europe's largest conflict since the outbreak of the Second World War, acclaimed Ukrainian-American historian Serhii Plokhy inevitably found himself attempting to understand the deeper causes of the invasion, analysing its course and contemplating the wider outcomes.The Russo-Ukrainian War is the comprehensive history of a conflict that has burned since 2014, and that, with Russia's attempt to seize Kyiv, exploded a geo-political order that had been cemented since the end of the Cold War. With an eye for the gripping detail on the ground, both in the halls of power and down in the trenches, as well as a keen sense of the grander sweep of history, Plokhy traces the origins and the evolution of the conflict, from the collapse of the Russian empire to the rise and fall of the USSR and on to the development in Ukraine of a democratic politics.Based on decades of research and his unique insight into the region, he argues that Ukraine's defiance of Russia, and the West's demonstration of unity and strength, has presented a profound challenge to Putin's Great Power ambition, and further polarized the world along a new axis. A riveting, enlightening account, this is present-minded history at its best.

O Černobylu komplexně a bez cenzury.Tento hrubý nástin vystihuje, co se v dubnu 1986 odehrálo v Černobylské jaderné elektrárně. Autor vás seznámí s genezí sovětského jaderného výzkumu, konstrukcí dvou hlavních typů reaktorů užívaných v SSSR, s jejich přednostmi i chybami. Nastiňuje i výstavbu jaderné elektrárny u Černobylu, spojenou s problémy i proslulou sovětskou fušeřinou.Hlavní část knihy je zaměřena na události, které vedly k explozi reaktoru č. 4. Kniha ilustruje zmatek technického personálu elektrárny, který nebyl schopen zjistit, co se vlastně stalo, i velmi nepružnou reakci ze strany místních i celostátních orgánů. Popsáno je úsilí hasičů o zvládnutí požáru na vybuchlém bloku 4 i jejich v mnoha případech tragické osudy. Autor v knize odhaluje nedostatky sovětského způsobu zvládání této události, snahu sovětských úřadů všech úrovní o zatajení černobylské exploze, a to nejen před zahraničím, ale především před vlastními občany. Kniha dokládá, že tato snaha o utajování je nakonec korunována nezamýšleným a pro SSSR v podstatě fatálními vývojem v radioaktivitou postižených republikách.

Tragická historie evropského národa. Dějiny Ukrajiny od autora bestselleru Černobyl.Ukrajina dnes bojuje s Ruskem o zachování své územní celistvosti a politické nezávislosti. Současný konflikt je však pouze poslední v dlouhé řadě bitev o území Ukrajiny a její existenci coby svrchovaného národa. Jak ve své nejnovější knize Brány Evropy píše oceněný historik Serhii Plokhy, k pochopení současnosti a budoucnosti Ukrajiny je třeba dobře poznat její minulost. Ukrajina byla utvářena říšemi, které ji využívaly jako strategickou bránu mezi Východem a Západem – od římské říše přes osmanskou po nacistické Německo a Sovětský svaz. Po staletí se na jejím území setkávaly různé kultury. Mísením usedlých a kočovných národů a křesťanství s islámem ve stepním pohraničí vznikla třída bojovných kozáků; ze střetu mezi katolickou a pravoslavnou církví vzešla náboženská tradice sbližující západní a východní křesťanství. Současná krize je tragickým případem opakování historie, kdy se Ukrajina znovu ocitá v centru bitvy globálních rozměrů. Kniha Brány Evropy coby odborně věrohodné dějiny této významné země poskytuje jedinečné nahlédnutí do původu nejnebezpečnější mezinárodní krize od dob studené války.

O Černobylu bez cenzury Co jste ještě nevěděli o největší nukleární katastrofě naší doby *** Serhii Plokhy je americký historik zaměřený na dějiny východní Evropy a Ukrajiny. Narodil se v roce 1957 v ruském Nižném Novgorodě ukrajinským rodičům. Mládí strávil v ukrajinském Záporoží. Vystudoval dějiny a sociální vědy na univerzitě v Dněpropetrovsku, na níž posléze v letech 1983–1991 učil a kde též získal titul profesora. Po roce 1996 začal spolupracovat se zámořskými univerzitami a od roku 2007 je profesorem ukrajinských dějin na Harvardu, od roku 2013 řídí Ukrajinský výzkumný institut téže univerzity. Svůj zájem soustřeďuje především na dějiny východní Evropy s pochopitelným zaměřením zejména na Ukrajinu. Za své práce získal řadu cen, např. kniha Černobyl – Historie nukleární katastrofy byla roku 2018 oceněna cenou Baillie Gifforda za nejlepší anglicky psanou literaturu faktu. *** „Nejkomplexnější zpracování událostí, jež vedly k černobylské katastrofě... Fascinující.“Library Journal „Černobyl je výmluvným svědectvím o tom, jak sovětská posedlost jadernou silou v kombinaci s fušerstvím zakořeněným ve státním sektoru a téměř paranoidní závislostí udržovat státní tajemství vedla ke katastrofě z roku 1986...“Financial Times „...je to také dílo hluboké erudice a znamenitého vypravěčství. Plokhy je mistrem výmluvného detailu... Jeho popis statečných mužů, kteří bez jakékoli ochrany chodili po tom, co zbylo z hořícího reaktorového sálu, je děsivý...“The Sunday Times

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Andrew Frayn, Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture at Edinburgh Napier University.In these two compelling novels H.G. Wells imagines terrifying futures in which civilisation itself is threatened.The narrator of The War of the Worlds is quick to discover that what appeared to be a falling star was, in fact, a metallic cylinder landing from Mars. Six million people begin to flee London in panic as tentacled invaders emerge and overpower the city. With their heat-ray, killing machines, black gas, and a taste for fresh human blood, is there anything that can be done to stop the Martians?In The War in the Air, naive but resourceful Bert Smallways is thrilled by speed and fascinated by the new flying machines. His curiosity sweeps him away by accident into a German plan to conquer America, beginning with the destruction of New York. The ease of movement in aerial warfare means that nothing and nobody is safe as Total War erupts, civilisation crumbles, and Bert's hopes of getting back to London to marry his love seem impossibly distant.

Women of the White House looks at the work, lives and times of the 47 women officially recognized as America's first lady.Through portraits, photographs, accounts and profiles, the book examines their contributions to the presidencies they supported and to the 230-year history of the role. The women who have held the position have evolved it from White House hostess to campaigner for social causes and a game-changing leadership position. A role model for the world, a powerful political player, a traditional yet modern woman - the position of first lady of the United States is many-faceted, complex and beyond high profile.Amy Russo explores how the social platforms these women established - from Mary Todd Lincoln's work for slaves and soldiers after the Civil War to Michelle Obama's fight for girls' education - have not only made the role iconic but also shaped America.

Less than a month after it marched into France in summer 1870, the Prussian army had devastated its opponents, captured Napoleon III and wrecked all assumptions about Europe's pecking order. Other countries looked on in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.Bismarck's War tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the twentieth century.Drawing on a remarkable variety of sources, Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for both victors and victims.

Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

'Riveting and explosive. This is the business story of our time.'Christopher Leonard, New York Times Bestselling Author of Kochland and The Lords of Easy Money---From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating expose of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it.For over twenty years, Amazon was the quintessential American success story, whilst its "customer obsession" approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. But the company was not benevolent; it operated in ways that ensured it stayed on top, coming to dominate over a dozen industries beyond retail, growing voraciously by abusing data, exploiting partners, copying competitors, and avoiding taxes-leveraging its power to extract whatever it could, at any cost and without much scrutiny.Until now.With unparalleled access, and having interviewed hundreds of people - from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive - Dana Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy.In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century. As Amazon's supremacy is finally challenged, The Everything War is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world - and why this is the most consequential business story of our times.

A darkly humorous Czech satire: a new super-breed tries to conquer the world... War with the Newts (1936) is Karel Capek's darkly humorous allegory of early 20th-century Czech politics. Captain van Toch discovers a colony of newts in Sumatra which can not only be taught to trade and use tools, but also to speak. As the rest of the world learns of the creatures and their wonderful capabilities, it is clear that this new species is ripe for exploitation - they can be traded in their thousands, will do the work no human wants to do, and can fight - but the humans have given no thought to the terrible consequences of their actions.

A moving, poetic narrative and child-friendly illustrations follow the heartbreaking, ultimately hopeful journey of a little girl who is forced to become a refugee. The day war came there were flowers on the windowsill and my father sang my baby brother back to sleep. Imagine if, on an ordinary day, after a morning of studying tadpoles and drawing birds at school, war came to your town and turned it to rubble. Imagine if you lost everything and everyone, and you had to make a dangerous journey all alone. Imagine that there was no welcome at the end, and no room for you to even take a seat at school. And then a child, just like you, gave you something ordinary but so very, very precious. In lyrical, deeply affecting language, Nicola Davies's text combines with Rebecca Cobb's expressive illustrations to evoke the experience of a child who sees war take away all that she knows.

Previous translations of The Art of War have presented Sun Tzu's classic from the point of view of military strategy, Chinese history, or Taoist philosophy. This translation--accompanied by the translators' in-depth essays and illuminating line-by-line commentary--offers a fresh perspective on this ancient Chinese text. Here, Sun Tzu's strategic principles of warfare (based as they were on the fundamental insights of the Chinese spiritual and philosophical tradition) are seen as universally relevant--the foundation for personal transformation and the creation of an enlightened society. In this translation of The Art of War , Sun Tzu's teachings are revealed in an entirely new light. - War is any situation that demands hard choices about creation and destruction, life or death. - The state is the system in which we live--our household, our culture or society, or our own mind. - Defense ensures the integrity of our boundaries and allows life to flourish within them. - Force is the energy of concentrated action. - Victory lies in bringing others around to embracing a larger view--one that includes their own--without ever going to battle.

Written over two thousand years ago, The Art of War contains penetrating insights into the nature of power, inter-state rivalry, realpolitik and military success, relevant to any age. It was first translated into English in the early 20th century. Sun Tzu's short lines of argument and pithy aphorisms are highly accessible to modern readers, and his text has almost achieved cult status.He is quoted everywhere 'from divorce courts to Facebook', and has something to offer anyone interested in honing leadership skills and achieving in any competitive environment 'from the boardroom to the bedroom'. Sun Tzu's advice is shrewd and pragmatic - he does not glory in slaughter and prefers to win battles off the battlefield if possible; he is a strong supporter of the use of deception, of varying your shots and above all, of doing your research: knowing your enemy is key; but of little use if you do not also 'know yourself'. Features a brilliant new translation by Peter Harris.The iconic text in its original 13 short chapters printed unencumbered by notesThe text repeated, this time interspersed with selected extracts from the canon of traditional Chinese commentators who have explained Sun Tzu's wisdom over the centuries; each chapter ending with an explanatory note from Peter Harris

A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…
