America is in an undeclared state of emergency. Not since the Cold War has the US faced such powerful enemies—and our military isn’t ready. Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, issues an urgent call to action: Mobilize. The American industrial base once underwrote American victory. Builders and workers rallied to win World War II. For most of the twentieth century, great American companies from General Mills to Chrysler had defense businesses that sent mankind into space and won the Cold War. But the forges fell silent and the furnaces went dark.

The first full-length biography of the Civil War surgeon who, over the course of the war’s bloodiest battles - from Antietam to Gettysburg - redefined military medicine.

Jonathan Letterman was an outpost medical officer serving in Indian country in the years before the Civil War, responsible for the care of just hundreds of men. But when he was appointed the chief medical officer for the Army of the Potomac, he revolutionized combat medicine over the course of four major battles - Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg - that produced unprecedented numbers of casualties.

The courtroom has shaped the evolution of the electric guitar just as deeply as the concert stage. For decades, guitar players, vintage collectors, and gear heads have tossed around the phrase "lawsuit era" in pawnshops, brick-and-mortar guitar stores, and online forums—often wrapping the term in layers of urban legend and secondary-market mythology. We love to talk about the rebel builders, the copy houses, and the instruments that were "too good" for the big brands to allow. But the true history of the guitar industry isn't just written in legendary recording studios or on stadium ...

For more than seventy years, Europe defined itself as the world’s great civilian power: prosperous, regulated, socially protected, and strategically dependent on the American security umbrella. Defense industries contracted, military stockpiles disappeared, welfare states expanded, and the continent reorganized itself around the belief that large-scale industrial war had become obsolete inside Europe itself. This book argues that era is ending. Europe’s New Military-Industrial Complex is a sweeping, deeply researched investigation into the largest military-industrial transformation ...

The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

Containing rare photographic evidence throughout as well as little-known quotes from key government figures, it makes a compelling case for there being an enormous hidden world under the Earth's surface. The Morcans speculate that the covert underground...

Americans are measuring the wrong war and using the wrong scoreboard. For years, the U.S. China debate has focused on headlines: tariffs, diplomacy, and who invents the next breakthrough. But national power is built on something quieter and harder to rebuild: industrial ecosystems, supply-chain chokepoints, and the ability to scale technology into mass-market reality. This book makes a controversial argument and tests it with data: the United States has already lost key dimensions of the economic, trade, and technology contest with China, and the American public does not yet grasp how far ...

In Global Tech Wars, Financial Times’ veteran journalist James Kynge delivers a gripping analysis of China’s rapid technological ascent. No longer confined to low-end goods, China is now leading in cutting-edge industries: artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, surveillance technology, robotics, and more. Big Western corporations are facing multiple disruptive shocks. What does this mean for the future?

Malcolm Gladwell, author of New York Times best sellers including Talking to Strangers and host of the podcast Revisionist History, uses original interviews, archival footage, and his trademark insight to weave together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in Central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard. As listeners hear these stories unfurl, Gladwell examines one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history.

Part biography, part masterclass. The story of the man who built America — and what he can teach you about building anything. He built Hoover Dam ahead of schedule. He launched a 10,000-ton Liberty ship in four days. He reinvented how Americans access healthcare. All after leaving school at thirteen. Henry J. Kaiser is one of the most consequential figures in American history — and one of the least known. The Man Who Built America restores him to his rightful place, tracing the principles behind his extraordinary career: how an outsider kept walking into rooms where he had no business ...

Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. The drug has been derided and declared useless. Doctors have earnestly recorded pleas asking those afflicted with COVID-19 not to take the drug. But why? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory, the co-founder of an expert group of physicians, and his plight to alert the world of his group's identification of ivermectin as a highly effective, life-saving, widely available generic medicine with an obvious ability to end the global pandemic.

Since 2003, this sci-fi virtual world has been ruled by player-led governments commanding tens of thousands of real people. The conflict and struggle for power between these diverse governments has led to wars, espionage, and battles fought by thousands of people from nations all over the world. There have been climactic last stands, wars for honor and revenge, and spies who caused more damage than a fleet of warships.

Warship Builders is the first scholarly study of the US naval shipbuilding industry from the early 1920s to the end of World War II, when American shipyards produced the world's largest fleet that helped defeat the Axis powers in all corners of the globe. A colossal endeavor that absorbed billions and employed virtual armies of skilled workers, naval construction mobilized the nation's leading industrial enterprises in the shipbuilding, engineering, and steel industries to deliver warships whose technical complexity dwarfed that of any other weapons platform.
