  The Eurasian Century - Hot Wars...

  We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal—which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. 
   
   
   
  Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure. 
   
   
   
  Hal Brands argues that a better understanding of Eurasia's strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today's world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare, and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the center of twentieth-century geopolitics—with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first.

Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day.

  Socrates’ Children - An...

  Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy. Volume II: Medieval Philosophers studies the transformation of philosophy that came about due to an unprecedented figure―Jesus Christ―and considers the philosophers of the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they sought to marry the Greek philosophical tradition with divine revelation.

  Caesar and the Roman Republic -...

  Julius Caesar’s rise to power is one of the most fascinating stories in Roman history. Born into a patrician family in 100 BCE, Caesar’s early life was marked by both privilege and struggle. Although he came from a noble family, his position was not secure. His family had fallen from political prominence, and Caesar’s early years were fraught with financial difficulties and political rivalries. His father died when Caesar was young, leaving him to navigate the complex political landscape of Rome largely on his own. 
  Caesar’s first major step toward power came when he joined the military, gaining valuable experience and recognition in the Roman army. His leadership and military skill helped him rise through the ranks, and by 69 BCE, he had secured a position as quaestor, a crucial step in his political career. During his time in the army, Caesar gained a reputation for his boldness and ambition, qualities that would define his later political career. 
  His political journey truly began when he formed the First Triumvirate in 60 BCE, a political alliance with two of Rome’s most powerful figures: Pompey the Great and Crassus. This alliance was not born of friendship, but rather of mutual interests. Pompey sought land for his soldiers and recognition for his military victories, while Crassus, the wealthiest man in Rome, sought political influence and power. Caesar, for his part, wanted to secure military command and the financial backing necessary to rise to the top of Roman politics. Together, they formed a formidable bloc that allowed Caesar to advance rapidly in his career.
