Revolutions, droughts, famines, invasions, wars, regicides, government collapses—the calamities of the mid-seventeenth century were unprecedented in both frequency and severity.

Energy crises have shaped the global economy before—and they will do so again. From the oil shocks of the 1970s to the fragile energy markets of today, modern societies remain deeply dependent on reliable access to oil and natural gas. Yet the global energy system is built on vulnerable infrastructure, strategic shipping routes, and geopolitical relationships that can shift overnight. In The Next Global Energy Crisis, financial analyst Carl Vincent Sutton delivers a clear and compelling examination of how energy disruptions can trigger global economic turmoil. This book explains how ...

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

Twenty-four miles wide. Twenty percent of the world's oil. No real alternative. And right now — closed. The Strait of Hormuz is the most important body of water on earth that most people couldn't find on a map. Every day in normal conditions, approximately twenty million barrels of oil and a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas transit this single narrow passage between Iran and Oman. When it is disrupted — as it is now, in the most severe closure since the 1970s energy crisis — oil prices surge, food prices rise, airlines ground flights, hospitals ration medical gases, and ...

The world’s most important shipping lane is only 21 miles wide. Every day, nearly a fifth of the world’s oil passes through it. So does a massive share of its natural gas.

In this quick-start briefing, Adrian Locke takes you inside the most dangerous vulnerability in the global economy and answers a question few people are asking: What happens if the flow doesn’t recover? This is not a ...

What If the Most Famous Prophet in History Was Warning Us About the World After 2026? War on multiple fronts. Collapsing climates and cities on fire. Pandemics that leap borders in days. Artificial minds that can outthink governments and corporations. For centuries readers have claimed to find these fears in the mysterious quatrains of Nostradamus. In Nostradamus After Tomorrow: The Prophecies That Will Change Our World, historian and researcher Gabriel S. Reyes strips away the superstition and sensationalism to ask a sharper question. What happens when we read Nostradamus the way ...

"I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars." That was the promise Donald Trump made to the American people. Millions of us believed him.

In Mistake of the Century, the author of the maritime thriller Chokepoint returns to deliver a blistering, data-driven critique of the 2026 Iran War. This isn't a partisan hit piece—it is a cry for sanity from a former supporter who watched a "Candidate of Peace" ...

On March 21, 1968, Yasir Arafat and his guerrillas made the fateful decision to break with conventional guerrilla tactics, choosing to stand and fight an Israeli attack on the al-Karama refugee camp in Jordan. They suffered terrible casualties, but they won a stunning symbolic victory that transformed Arafat into an Arab hero and allowed him to launch a worldwide campaign, one that would reshape Cold War diplomacy and revolutionary movements everywhere. In The Global Offensive, historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin offers new insights into the rise of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

History will judge this generation by whether it rose to meet the challenge of Chinese cyber operations or allowed short-term interests and bureaucratic inertia to prevail. The choice is not between security and prosperity, between privacy and protection, or between openness and defense. The choice is between deliberate action and willful blindness. The threat is real, it is accelerating, and it demands a response equal to its magnitude. The United States and its allies possess the technological capability, economic resources, and human talent to prevail—but only if we choose to deploy ...

They erased his research. Then they erased him. Now they need him to save the world. Physicist Dean Eckert spent years developing a theory that made powerful institutions deeply uncomfortable. Then his work vanished—scrubbed from databases, stripped from records, buried beneath layers of institutional silence. His career followed. His name followed. The life he built, gone. He should have been forgotten. Then the anomaly appeared. A phenomenon unlike anything in recorded science begins spreading across the planet, warping gravitational fields, destabilizing critical systems, and turning ...
