Drawing on ideas from classical military strategy, the Yijing (Book of Changes), and Chinese martial arts theory, Tom Bisio presents a fascinating exploration of how insights from these sources can be deployed to manage crisis situations in all aspects of our daily lives. Suggesting approaches for cultivating a strategic mindset that can be applied to one's relationships, work, and personal self-fulfillment, Beyond the Battleground offers methods of adapting to circumstances, conserving one's own resources, and avoiding or dissolving conflict that will aid any reader navigating the uncertainties of the changing world, including the business person, military theorist, or martial artist. Deftly interweaving his background in East Asian philosophy and history and his career in traditional Chinese medicine with his lifelong interest in the martial arts and military science, Bisio also presents examples of successful strategies from history’s great commanders such as Sunzi, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Mao Zedong.

In an effort to make sense of war beyond the battlefield in studying the wars that were captured under the rubric of the "War on Terror", this special issue book seeks to explore the complex spatial relationships between war and the spaces that one is not used to thinking of as the battlefield. It focuses on the conflicts that still animate the spaces and places where violence has been launched and that the war has not left untouched. In focusing on war beyond the battlefield, it is not that the battlefield as the place where war is waged has gone in smoke or has borne out of importance, it is rather the case that the battlefield has been dis-placed, re-designed, re-shaped and rethought through new spatializing practices of warfare. These new spaces of war – new in the sense that they are not traditionally thought of as spaces where war takes place or is brought to – are television screens, cellular phones and bandwidth, George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, videogames, popular culture sites, news media, blogs, and so on. These spaces of war beyond the battlefield are crucial to understanding what goes on the battlefield, in Iraq, Afghanistan, or in other fronts of the War on Terror (such as the homeland) – to understand how terror has globally been waged beyond the battlefield. This book was originally published as a special issue of Geopolitics.

Bringing together 12 essays and lectures spanning a period of fifteen years, Blight (history and black studies, Amherst College) explores three primary concerns: the meaning of the American Civil War, the nature of African American history and the significance of race in American history generally, and the character and purpose of the study of historical memory. Along the way, he touches upon such topics as the tangled relationship between the memory of the Civil war and the memory of black emancipation, the leadership and relationship of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois's contribution to historical memory, Ken Burn's treatment of the Civil War, and controversies over battlefield remembrances and memorial constructions.

New York Times Bestseller Now with new text from McMaster addressing the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol and recommending how citizens across the free world can work together to restore confidence in democratic institutions and processes From Lt. General H.R. McMaster, U.S. Army, ret., the former National Security Advisor and author of the bestselling classic Dereliction of Duty, comes a bold and provocative re-examination of the most critical foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States, and an urgent call to compete to preserve America’s standing and security. Across multiple administrations since the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy has been misconceived, inconsistent, and poorly implemented. As a result, America and the free world have fallen behind rivals in power and influence. Meanwhile threats to security, freedom, and prosperity, such as nuclear proliferation and jihadist terrorism have grown. In BATTLEGROUNDS, H.R. McMaster describes efforts to reassess and fundamentally shift policies while he was National Security Advisor. And he provides a clear pathway forward to improve strategic competence and prevail in complex competitions against our adversaries. Battlegrounds is a groundbreaking reassessment of America’s place in the world, drawing from McMaster’s long engagement with these issues, including 34 years of service in the U.S. Army with multiple tours of duty in battlegrounds overseas and his 13 months as National Security Advisor in the Trump White House. It is also a powerful call for Americans and citizens of the free world to transcend the vitriol of partisan political discourse, better educate themselves about the most significant challenges to national and international security and work together to secure peace and prosperity for future generations.

In the tumultuous landscape of international relations, few events have left an indelible mark on the course of history as the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This watershed moment unfolded in the 21st century, reshaping geopolitical dynamics and triggering a chain of events that reverberated across the global stage. The 21st century dawned with a promise of progress and unity, yet beneath the surface, geopolitical tensions simmered, and power dynamics were shifting. As the world grappled with the challenges of a rapidly changing political landscape, the clash between Russia and Ukraine emerged as a defining chapter in the unfolding narrative of international relations. The seeds of this conflict were sown in the complex tapestry of historical, cultural, and political ties that bound Russia and Ukraine. Both nations shared a tangled history, shaped by periods of cooperation and contention. The 21st-century invasion, however, would expose the fault lines that had long existed beneath the surface, threatening to fracture the delicate balance that had been maintained for decades. The stage was set in the early years of the 21st century when Russia, under the leadership of a resolute and assertive government, began flexing its geopolitical muscles. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 served as an ominous precursor to the larger conflict that would unfold in the years to come. The strategic importance of Crimea, with its historical ties to Russia and access to vital naval bases, provided a glimpse into the motivations driving Moscow's actions. The invasion itself unfolded with a speed and intensity that caught the international community off guard. In the early stages, the world watched in shock and disbelief as Russian forces surged across the Ukrainian border, triggering a cascade of events that would shape the course of the conflict. The 21st-century tools of warfare-cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and hybrid tactics-added a layer of complexity to the traditional military maneuvers, blurring the lines between conventional and unconventional warfare. The geopolitical fallout was swift and far-reaching. The international community, already grappling with a myriad of challenges, found itself at a crossroads. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict were met with skepticism and mistrust, as the world witnessed the erosion of established norms and the rise of a new era of geopolitical assertiveness. As the conflict unfolded, the human cost became increasingly evident. Cities and towns became battlegrounds, and the civilian population bore the brunt of the violence. The images of displaced families, shattered infrastructure, and the human toll of war brought a stark reality to the forefront-a reality that demanded global attention and action. The conflict also exposed the deep-seated divisions within the international community. While some nations rallied in support of Ukraine, others remained cautious or openly aligned with Russia. The United Nations became a forum for impassioned debates, reflecting the divergent perspectives and interests at play. In the aftermath of the invasion, the geopolitical landscape underwent a seismic shift. The scars left by the conflict served as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the challenges inherent in navigating the complex web of international relations. The book "Russia's Invasion of Ukraine" delves into the intricacies of this defining moment in history, offering a nuanced and comprehensive exploration of the events that unfolded in the 21st century. Through meticulous research and a keen understanding of the geopolitical forces at play, the narrative weaves together the threads of history, politics, and human experience, providing readers with a captivating and insightful journey into one of the most significant conflicts of our time.

The 1968 Democratic Convention, best known for police brutality against demonstrators, has been relegated to a dark place in American historical memory. Battleground Chicago ventures beyond the stereotypical image of rioting protestors and violent cops to reevaluate exactly how—and why—the police attacked antiwar activists at the convention. Working from interviews with eighty former Chicago police officers who were on the scene, Frank Kusch uncovers the other side of the story of ’68, deepening our understanding of a turbulent decade. “Frank Kusch’s compelling account of the clash between Mayor Richard Daley’s men in blue and anti-war rebels reveals why the 1960s was such a painful era for many Americans. . . . to his great credit, [Kusch] allows ‘the pigs’ to speak up for themselves.”—Michael Kazin “Kusch’s history of white Chicago policemen and the 1968 Democratic National Convention is a solid addition to a growing literature on the cultural sensibility and political perspective of the conservative white working class in the last third of the twentieth century.”—David Farber, Journal of American History
